Beta 0.6.0

❗ THIS IS NOT THE LATEST VERSION! ❗

The latest version is near the bottom of the page (0.6.1) because GitHub can't sort things properly.

This update introduces the Commanders Journal. (not to be confused with the local E:D API "Journal")
This lets you write simple journal entries that will be listed in the same window, accessed through the new button in the icon bar in the bottom right.
This is very straight forward. The only thing worth noting is that when a journal entry is "deleted" it's not actually deleted until the application is closed for any reason, and until then it can be recovered.

This update also introduces the new Date Format setting. This is used to define the way date time strings are displayed in the application. For information on how to customize it, please see this wiki entry.

Another new setting is "Use in-game year". As you may be aware E:D takes place in the future. However you may not be aware that it takes place exactly 1286 years in the future. It ignores any leap-years or similar, so the in-game year is simply the current year plus 1286.
By default CLC will display dates using the in-game year, but if you'd rather have it display the real year instead this can be achieved through this setting.
It doesn't matter if the setting is enabled or disabled when creating journal entries. Only the real date is stored, and the offset is applied when displaying, if enabled.

It's also worth noting that this release includes some internal changes to the settings system. If anything seems broken please report it!

That's what the beta is for!

Changelog

New

• [New] Commanders Journal
• [New] Date format setting (see wiki page about formatting)

Beta 0.5.0

This release changes a lot. From station lists to save files! Woo-wee are there a lot of changes.

❗ File Incompatibilities between Beta 0.4 and 0.5! ❗

🔴 You should delete the "settings.json" file since the format has changed!
🔴 You can delete the "commodities.json" and "presets.json" files since they are no longer used!

✅ "systems_stations.json" should be left alone! 0.5 should read your systems and stations from 0.4 fine!

Windows install:

"Extract here" in an empty directory, or "Extract to cmdrs_log_continued_etc", then run the file cmdrs_log_continued.exe (You may not see the .exe depending on your windows settings)

Linux install:

Extract the archive to a directory.
Allow "cmdrs_log_continued" and "cmdrs_log_contued.desktop" to be run as applications (right-click, properties, permissions)
Run cmdrs_log_continued.desktop to start the application

OSX install:

This is a mystery to me. I can't test this because creating an OSX virtual machine is really difficult. So I have no idea how this works. If you try this do report your success/failure to me! I'm very curious.

Changes
