Windows users: We have switched over to our wx3 build and gotten rid of our old binaries. To reiterate the previous builds warning, if you are not using the installer but rather extracting the zipfile, you cannot extract the wx3 build into your existing installation and simply replace conflicts. It will leave behind a lot of old files that will confuse things. You must completely delete the old pyfa installation (not your user save directory) or run it standalone somewhere else. This should only have to be done once

OS X users: This release contains both the normal Mac binaries (-mac) and the updated binaries built with wxPython 3.0 (-mac-wx3). CREST and Attribute Override is only supported on the wx3 release as the old binaries do not include the additional modules we use for these features. However, there have been some reports of the wx3 build being unstable / slow for the OS X platform. I urge Mac users to test the wx3 release and let me know of issues involving it. Also, if anyone wishes to help test and/or develop updated binaries, contact me.

Linux users: pyfa now requires the requests python package to support CREST functionality.

v1.16.2

Database:

  • Updated to Parallax 1.1 (977931)

Changed:

  • Linux users who are using wxPython 2.8 do not have the option of using the Attribute Editor due to the fact that wx.propgrid is only available in 2.9+. A message stating such will be printed to STDOUT, and access to this window is disabled.

Fixed:

  • Some modifiers not applied correctly (Cov Ops Cloak bonuses, MGC scripts, etc) (#404, #406)
  • Linux: ssl_ and pubsub import errors (#407, #401)
  • Linux: wxPython will now fallback to 2.8 if 3.0 is not found rather than just failing to start
  • OSX: "Save Character As" and "Change __ Amount" dialogs (#413)
  • CREST menu now correctly reacts to the current state of the CREST service / settings
  • Internet connection errors when using CREST functions are now handled gracefully and do not cause crash.

v1.16.1

Fixed:

  • Character Editor issues
  • CREST not pointing to TQ resources
  • Attributes Overrides are now mapped to CTRL+B instead of CTRL+A
  • Issue with Capacitor Flux Coils crashing fit
  • Possible crash when stopping HTTP server on mac-wx3

v1.16.0

Database:

  • Updated to Parallax 1.0

New:

  • Additions pane can now be vertically resized (#358)
  • Help text added to projected view (#382) (thanks @Will-W)
  • CREST Fitting Resource support
    • Can now log into your EVE character and fetch/delete/upload fittings
    • Please see the wiki page here: https://github.com/DarkFenX/Pyfa/wiki/CREST
    • Support is still experimental, and there are some known issues (such as cached data not updating with deleted or uploaded fits). Please see our issues topic on CREST (#383)
  • Attribute Overrides
    • Will help alleviate the need to wait for new pyfa (pre-)release to test out announced changes.
    • Only works with item attributes. Effects are a different beast altogether, and cannot be configured via GUI. You can, however, tweak the attributes that the effects use.
    • Quick refresher: attributes are things like resists, speed, falloff, rate of fire. Effects are modifiers that one item applies to another such as ship bonuses, skill bonuses, etc.
    • pyfa will always start with this feature disabled (to reduce possible confusion of 'wrong attributes'). Enable it under the Edit menu.
    • Can Import / Export overrides, which could be handy for people to compile announced changes to distribute

Fixed:

  • Dialog crash when deleting fits (#371)
  • Crashes involving HTML export and progress dialogs
  • System effects not applying correctly to projected fits (#354)
  • Ship bonuses not applying correctly to projected fits (#374)
  • GUI issue with character editor when creating or renaming character
  • Mining effects related to Mercoxit Crystals (#376)
  • Triage now properly modifies EW capacitor usage (#380)
  • Web and TP ranges taken into consideration on DPS graph (#347) (thanks @OISumeko!)
  • Some inaccuracies with the capacitor simulator have been fixed thanks to @OISumeko, such as:
    • "Lasts Until" time is now more realistic (#389)
    • AAR's, when loaded with Nanite Paste, showing inaccurate capacitor usage (#388)
    • Turrets are no longer staggered during the simulation, to better represent most players grouping their turrets and firing simultaneously (#390)

Technical:

  • wxPython 3.0 support has been merged into master
    • Linux distros that ship with wxPython 3.0 should now have no problem running pyfa
    • pyfa continues to support wxPython 2.8 (to force it, run pyfa with -w)
    • Windows and OS X builds now ship with wxPython 3.0
  • Distributives now ship with images in a zipfile rather than in separate directories.
  • Windows builds now ship with the source contained in library.zip, rather than have thousands of small files floating around
