YaTQA Changelog

Starting in early 2015, YaTQA development consists of major releases released in January/February and July/August each year. The reason for this schedule is explained here.

This changelog lists changes to the most recent major release (released in February and August each year) and its smaller releases, as well as coming updates. For the latter, this text is sometimes not being updated for some weeks, especially while development happens primarily on my laptop. Additionally, it is possible for some changes to not be in the development snapshot from the FAQ yet.

Older changelogs can be found in the archive and there’s also a log with only the changes in the engine.

Summer Release 2017

3.7.3-beta (17 Jun 2017)

• Added a feature to Users tab to change a user’s channel group in every selected channel (e.g. make that user channel admin)
• When creating new channels, you can now copy permissions from a channel but not copy (normal) channel properties.
• When creating a new channel, you can now copy non-default channel group memberships from a channel.
• Fixed a bug that caused YaTQA to copy channel permissions from the channel selected in the tree rather than the channel selected in the channel creation window
• When creating new channels, channel names are checked for length and collisions.
• When creating new channels, empty lines and leading/trailing whitespace characters are now ignored.
• ––– English development snapshot updated here, see below for download –––
• Made the BBcode encoder use the names for the following colors, as they are shorter than the corresponding hex color codes: azure, beige, bisque, brown, coral, gold, gray (an encoder only needs to know one of the two spellings), green, indigo, ivory, khaki, linen, maroon, navy, olive, orange, orchid, peru, pink, plum, purple, red, salmon, sienna, silver, snow, tan, teal, tomato, violet, wheat.
• Moved file list feature to unregistered version
• Changed update checker link to a another domain because I cannot turn off logging on the webspace used before (I hate logging and wanted to keep that consistent with yat.qa which doesn’t have any logging either)
• Added Android beta 3.1.3 (3.1.2.2 is not available for selection because selecting it would block every other version of TeamSpeak released prior to 2170)
• Fixed channel creation window not closing on OK
• Moved the spawning point of the permission editing popup menu in permission comparison a few pixels, so triple-clicking will open the window to edit the permission
• Added progress and cancel feature to executing multiple custom commands
• Added support for downscaling high-res icons
• Note: SVG support is set to be added at a later time, I still have to think about how to add it. Maybe I won’t even add it.
• Added 3.1.5 beta versions

3.7.4-beta (10 Aug 2017)

Skipped 3.7.3-final because of beta client release today.

• Added some more client versions
• Added preliminary support for Blacklist2 (found in Servers tab context menu)
• Added support for server nicknames
  • Note: The Blacklist2 feature uses a tunnel server because YaTQA does not support HTTPS whereas the nickname feature does not use a tunnel server, although it does use HTTPS as well. The reason for this is that the query for nicknames is so simple that I can use a Windows function for it, that saves the result in a file (servernickname.txt in your INI’s folder).
• Added four more client versions

3.7.4-beta2 (11 Aug 2017)

• Added new badges
• Added feature to download a certain number of log lines (given in iterations of logview command, equivalent to hectolines)
• Added support for new SSH host keys (YaTQA Pro)
• Improved error texts in SSH mode (YaTQA Pro)
• Added copying ts3image and ts3file links
• In the menu that appears when attempting to change an already set Host Banner and Host Button graphics, the View feature now supports the ts3image protocol
• Added the port of the checked server to the Blacklist2 result message

Thanks to a fellow user, I could update the Blacklist2 API tunnel to support greylisting. This is a serverside change and needs no update. Please report running servers blacklisted on Blacklist2.

3.8-pre (14 Aug 2017)

• Fixed Blacklist2 menu item not being disabled when there wasn’t one server selected
• Added feature that displays all users who currently have client or channel client permissions alongside with a list of permissions they have
• Fixed Blacklist2 not working when connected to an IPv6 address without using a domain name

3.8 (21 Aug 2017)

• Added new client versions
• Added features to the new user permissions list to select all users, server permissions or channel permissions
• Internal changes to handling list selections
• Significantly improved performance of the Ctrl+A shortcut
• Increased time limit to include up to February 2018
• Major SSH tunnel rework: Removed requirements for telnet and bash and improved performance.

Autumn/Winter Release 2017/18

3.9-beta (23 Aug 2017)

• Fix BBCode/X-Pixmap color interpretation for six-digit hex codes
• Added SVG support
  • Note: YaTQA uses a minimalist SVG engine I made for fun in the last few days. That explains why the download got only 24 KiB bigger and the extracted file is only 90 KiB more. Most of which is most likely the table of XML entities. RedeemerSVG is currently in beta, but should give you nice results for most SVGTiny 2.0 images (SVGTiny 2.0 is also the level supported by TeamSpeak). Notable features that are not supported and will most likely never be:
    • Partial transparency
    • Gradients (only draws first stop color)
    • Arc (full support added in 3.9-beta5), Catmull-Rom and Bearing commands
    • Animations (I don’t think that supported by TeamSpeak either)
    That should be fair.

3.9-beta2 (26 Aug 2017, unreleased)

This update likely broke SVG support in the Windows XP image selection windows. (Image format support is determined by the operating system on newer versions of Windows.)

• Updated RedeemerSVG to 0.2b-alpha with compatibility and huge performance improvements

3.9-beta2b (01 Sep 2017)

• Updated RedeemerSVG to 0.2b-alpha with compatibility improvements

3.9-beta3 (10 Sep 2017)

If the beta2 series broke SVG support on Windows XP, this update fixed it.

• Fixed a bug that prevented users from keeping the keypair when a new server had to be created (as a workaround for older versions, please use the 1-slot server that is still being created and try again)
• Updated RedeemerSVG to 0.3-alpha with compatibility improvements and some performance improvements as well

3.9-beta3b (unreleased, 23 Sep 2017)

• Optimizations in my custom image formats support classes

3.9-beta3c (30 Sep 2017)

• Fixed a lot of memory leaks
• Optimizations

3.9-beta4 (should have been released on 14 Oct 2017)

• Fixed setting channel icons with a name of 2 Gibi and more in server tree
• Fixed a bug that prevented users from joining IPv6 hosts accessed by hostname
• Fixed a bug displayed the chat input box if one tried to add a new chat target but clicked on Cancel in the target selection window (YaTQA Pro)
• Fixed a bug introduced in 3c that casued a freeze when using most features that “change” something
• ––– German development snapshot updated here, see below for download –––
• Updated RedeemerSVG to 0.4-alpha with compatibility improvements

3.9-beta5 (17 Oct 2017)

• Updated RedeemerSVG to 0.5-beta with compatibility improvements
• Updated badges (new 4Netplayers badge and updates GC2017 description)
• –-– internal progress until here –––

YaTQA 3.9-rc will be released within a few hours/days after the release of the TeamSpeak server 3.1 beta. 3.9 final will come with the final server and will likely be the final Winter Release 2018. 4.0 will likely be the final Summer Release 2018. I consider removing registration again in the final 4.0 release.

4.0

• Change non-aero design

You can download development snapshots in German and sometimes English.

The German snapshot (without the suffix) is updated more frequently than the English one, because the original language of YaTQA is German and the translation is only created periodically. The date given on the linked website is the date the file was either compiled or updated (depending on the software I used for uploading it) in German time. Snapshots can sometimes be older than the current stable release. The last upload of each snapshot is also listed in the changelog.

Sometimes, snapshots are a bit bigger than the release versions because they contain some stuff that is useless for stand-alone applications and therefore removed before release (see here for technical details). I also remove the ugly default images as YaTQA uses its own ones, which are prettier.
