AO:IA:CHANGELOG

Item Assistant 0.9.7

Release Date: 26/1/2010

• Fixed org city output for CharacterParser integration. Does not dump contract message on zone since it doesn't contain anything useful anyway.
• Includes UAC manifest in EXE file. Hopefully this should make some compatibility problems with Vista and 7 go away.

Item Assistant 0.9.6

Release Date: 16/1/2010

• Changed link to AO Mainframe.
• Updated SQLite to version 3.6.22 to resolve some issues.
• Fixed database parser bugs. The symptom was that the application was unable to track certain items.
• Application now outputs files that can be opened with the CharacterParser application.

Item Assistant 0.9.5

Release Date: 3/7/2009

• Fixed database parser so the app will run on Windows XP again.
• Fixed message handler so the app once again connects to the AO client and can track items.

Item Assistant 0.9.4

Release Date: 30/6/2009

• Added support for the new database in v18.1.
• The application is no longer using the registry to store its settings. Settings are stored in the ItemAssistant.conf file.
• Enhanced item listing so the container column shows if an item is equipped, and at which tab-panel it is.
• Added baloon warning popup when application is started after the AO client was started since this may lead to the database being out of sync.
• Improved statusbar for the Inventory view.
• The application will now remember which dimension you chose last time you changed dimension in either the find panel or the pattern matcher.
• Added "Copy Item Name(s)" to the item context menu.
• Bug Fix: Fixed weird encoding of ampersands in backpack names.
• Bug Fix: Exporting all items from a toon should not put multiple quotes around the backpack names any more.
• Bug Fix: Fixed buffer overflow with long backpack names.

Item Assistant 0.9.3

Release Date: 4/5/2009

• Added support for NPC trade-in quest rewards in the item tracking.
• Now parsing the 18.0.1 database correctly.
• Find panel now filters on dimension as well.
• Added support for Xyphos.com for item stats/links.
• The report in the Pattern Matcher now links to the loot table for the boss.
• It is now possible to export all items (excluding backpacks) from a toon by right-clicking the toon name in the tree-view.

• Bug Fix: Identify view will now sort (right hand side list).
• Bug Fix: Toonlist in the find-panel and pattern-matcher should now be sorted.

Item Assistant 0.9.2

Release Date: 20/2/2009

• Enhanced the player-shop monitor to refresh the view when something changes on disc. Cleaned up file system monitoring.
• Added more logging to make it easier to submit bug reports.
• Added hooking of messages sent from the client. Up until now only messages from the server have been intercepted.
• Inventory viewer now tracks changes to the players inventory and backpacks as they are being changed by the user. This should reduce the number of full reparsings you would need to do.
• Added "Identify" view that lets you quickly find any bio clumps or compounds from Alappa based on what they will turn into once tradeskilled.
• Experiemental: Added support for recording a toons dimension ID.
• Fixed a bug with recording playershop IDs.

Item Assistant 0.9.1

• Added experimental tracking of player-shop contents.
• Updated the help menu a bit.
• Reduced lag by making the AO hook multi-threaded and cache relevant information for a longer period of time.

• The Pattern Matcher now has an option to exclude already assembled ABCD patterns from the availability calculation.

Item Assistant 0.8.4

Release Date: 31/03/2008

• Updated DB scheme to fix issue with 32 bit unsigned character IDs.
• Added code to update database file from previous version to the current version.
• The ItemAssistant.db is created during startup if it is missing.

• Inventory tree-view now has a node for the "Social" tab.

Item Assistant 0.8.1

Release Date: 24/11/2006

• Fixed a bug in the Inventory view that caused the last character of all itemnames to disappear.

Item Assistant 0.8.0

Release Date: 7/11/2006

• Updated the item DB to match v16.4.1 of Anarchy Online.
• Upgraded to use latest version of SQLite (v3.3.8). You should still be able to use your old DB file.
• Converted to using UNICODE wherever I can. This means support for the UTF-8 encoded XML files that AO is using, is in place. I have only tested with a Norwegian characterset, but I suspect Russian and whatnot should work as well. The downside is that the app will probably NOT work on Windows 95/98... but who cares?
• The about box now actually contains some information. :P
• Removed the "Bot Export" view. It didn't do squat anyway.
• The "Message View" is now only available in the debug version like originally intended.
• Now supports a new command line argument called "-db". It specifies what database file to use.
  Example: ItemAssistant.exe -db C:\my_rk2_items.db
• Re-thought the whole pattern-matcher concept with some new ideas and valuable input by "Senlee".
  (You want YOUR ideas heard? Use the feedback form!)
• Redesigned the Pattern Matcher GUI. Now have a listview containing the name and availability of all the pocket bosses.
• Selecting a pocket boss in the list will bring up a report outlining where you have pattern pieces for this pockect boss stored. (Both toon names and backpack names and locations.)
• The application is now multithreaded. A seperate thread is spawned to calculate the availability column.

Item Assistant 0.6.2

Release Date: 27/04/2006

• Pattern Matcher and Inventory list-view now shows proper container names for location of pattern pieces.

Item Assistant 0.6.1

Release Date: 16/04/2006

• Pattern Matcher has had some work done on it. It no longer does a query on startup, so starup speed has improved. Also the pattern and toon combo-boxes work.
• Zoning now removes items in the "unknown" container of the current charater.

Item Assistant 0.6

Release Date: 10/12/2005

• Backpack parsing to match new packet format in AO 16.1.
• First version of the info panel (CTRL+I). Still lots of work left on it.

Item Assistant 0.5

Release Date: 20/09/2005

• Release build.
• AO Item database updated to version 16.0.2
• Info panel (CTRL-I) that shows details about selected item in the Inventory view.
