What's New in 2.6

• Overhauled theme
• Guilty/not guilty buttons
• Area menu
• Pairing - Two characters can occupy the same position simultaneously using the "Pair" button.
• The in-character message log now scrolls down by default (for performance reasons).
• Markup language for inline colors and text speed
• Custom in-character names
• Non-interrupting preanimations
• Extended area support
• Extended case announcement support
• Mod call reason
• Settings dialog
• Variable log limits
• APNG and Opus content support
• Animated backgrounds support
• Custom audio device selection
• IC export using /save_chatlog

Note that some of these features require server-side support.

Fixes

• Fixed crash when disconnected from the master server while in the courtroom
• Fixed case sensitivity issues on Linux
• Fixed loading bar
• Fixed short freeze between loading screen and character selection screen

literally why

• Edited default config.ini
• Added option to scroll log to the bottom instead of to the top

Note: Scrolling to the bottom is now the default behavior. It improves performance and establishes consistency with every other chat program on earth. If you wish to switch it back to the old behavior, you need only edit base/config.ini.

oh god how did this get here i am not good with computer

• Fix buffer overflow exploit in network code (no CVE assigned for this issue)
• Make IC log fast again
• Change default background from gs4 to default
• Add opt-out functionality for Discord Rich Presence
• Add Opus support (optional - nothing happens if you don't have the DLL)
• Add master option to select another master server, in case you ever want to do this (although I suspect that it's not going to work as I expected; oh well)
• Add default OOC name option (ooc_name)

Note: This update overwrites your old config.ini file. If you've never touched it yourself, it's fine to overwrite it, but if you have edited it, it is strongly recommended to merge the two files by hand.

Discord Rich Presence

• Increased chat log size, so the stenographer role should be possible again.
• Added Discord Rich Presence. This allows everyone on Discord to see what server you are playing on AO2, what character you are playing as, how long you have been playing, etc. Wine support is untested, but I don't expect this to work on Wine due to Wine not attempting to bridge RPC between Windows and native.

SRV update

Some clients could not connect to the master server due to the DNS SRV request being blocked or disallowed by something. In the case SRV does not work, the standard connection strategy will be used.

Linux compatibility build

Most Linux users use a version of Qt that is not the latest version. Hence, a build has been made with an older version of Qt.

solace

This release has four main additions:

• Failover to multiple master servers. If one master server is down, another one will be tried. This does not require any master server list to be downloaded; it uses a DNS SRV request to retrieve a list of master servers. (This behavior is not supported on Android builds.)
• Automatically reconnect to the master server is connection is lost. There is no need to restart your client if connection seems to be lost; simply hit the Refresh button in the lobby, or wait for the 5-second reconnect delay.
• Notify confused players when the lobby config could not be found. This generally means that game files were not downloaded properly.
• Our first Linux build!
• Truncate the chat when it has become far too long.

weewoo the ms is down

This release contains the following fixes:

• 9c78959 - Truncate chat (needs testing)
• 4344829 - Notify user if lobby layout file is missing
• 5ea3f9b, a8ccbe7
  • Master server auto-reconnect. (You can also push the "Refresh" button in the lobby to try to reconnect.)
  • Don't do failover for Android builds
  • Add longbyte1 to credits, move @stonedDiscord up to lead development
• d93a558 - Fix impatient failover wait loop

Known issues

• AOTextArea is supposed to have red text for errors, but it's not working just yet.
• This release does not have the 2.4.5 versioning yet.
