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 2018

3.9.1-beta (15 Mar 2018, unofficial release, snapshots only)

• Fixed blacklist2 check (serverside change, affects all blacklist2-enabled versions without the need for an update)
• Added support for more details in blacklist2 check (you can now how the server is blacklisted, e.g. by IP or domain/nickname)
• Completely changed the file transfer system (internal change only, please report possible bugs)
• Fixed a bug that when you tried to download multiple files from the Users tab, among which were uncompleted uploads, they were’t downloaded but added to the queue size (incomplete files cannot currently be added)
• Added feature to file list / file backup window to download a file
• When doubleclicking a non-image file in the file list window (not in file backup), downloading it is now the action for non-image files (instead of previously just displaying an error that made no sense).
• Fixed strange error message when trying to open a local file backup file with no extension (now simply nothing happens if you try that)
• Updated blacklist2 result message

3.9.2-beta (08 May 2018, “Back in Kirchlinteln” edition, unofficial release)

This version is designed for 3.2 servers. Therefore, this version will complain that your server is outdated if running any earlier version, even though 3.2.0 is currently in beta.

• Updated blacklist2 result message
• Several big changes in the RedeemerTS3 engine for easier inheritance and adding of different
• Pseudo Snapshots now work without permissionlist permission (please note that the server’s permission version has to match YaTQA’s in that case)
• Added new reasonmsg parameter to serverprocessstop (the confirmation/warning was removed in return, because one window is enough)
• Added new reasonmsg parameter to serverstop
• Added new customset and customdelete for managing a client’s custominfo in a brand-new window
• Moved SSH to the freeware version
• Made auto refresh work better with slow connections (interval is now paused while the information is refreshed to prevent backlog)
  • Note: This feature always existed for the server log and was now added everywhere else. It was changed for instance stats in an earlier snapshot of this version.
• Add button to copy server UID
• Added 3.1.9 to desktop client version selection
• Updated auto-complete (YaTQA Pro)

3.9.2 (19 May 2018)

Probably to be released when TeamSpeak 3.2-final is being released.

• Fixed adding an existing custominfo ident being added instead of updating the existing value (ident matching is case-sensitive)
• You can now edit custominfo values by doubleclicking in the list.
• ––– English development snapshot updated here, see below for download –––
• Removed pointless minimize button in new custominfo window
• YaTQA is now freeware. ATHPs are still asked to consider a donation.
• Console icon in statusbar now appears only while connected.

3.9.2b (02 Jun 2018)

• Added execution time to console
• Fixed maximizing not available in freeware version (when I introduced maximizing, it accidentially was available in the freeware version)
• Wine mode can now be forced
• Double clicking the auto Wine mode shows the status (just yes or no)
• When dragging clients or channels through the server tree, it now automatically scrolls at the upper and lower border
• Removed Icon ID from clientdbinfo
• Added auto scrolling during drag and drop to bookmarks, channel files, file backup channel associating and group order DnD (they all move half as fast as the server tree)
• In all checkbox list views, you can now check your selection with NUM +, uncheck with minus NUM − or toggle with                 .
• Doubled global command timeout to 10 seconds because of huge performance issues in TeamSpeak 3.1.0 when running SQlite

3.9.2c (07 Jun 2018)

• Added member counting to client database group mode view
• Added yesterday’s new badges that will be announced tomorrow I guess

3.9.2d (xx Jun 2018)

• Automatically download permissions when connected to a TeaSpeak server (the required version is yet to be released)
• ––– German development snapshot updated here, see below for download –––
• Fixed adding multiple bans adding the individual bans multiple times, too
• ––– internal progress until here –––

3.9.3 (TBA)

• ––– internal progress until here –––
• Secure connection via OpenSSL for TeaSpeak?
• Add blacklist2 check to serverinfo tab
• Fix incorrect display (or only scaling?) of indexed transparent PNGs

Roadmap

There are plans from TeaSpeak to include SSL/TLS. Adding support for that requires me to purchase quite an expensive Delphi extension (upper three digits in euros) will make YaTQA around 80% bigger. I’m not sure if I want to do that solely for TeaSpeak. I might add preliminary support that requires OpenSSL until TeamSpeak maybe adds a similar feature. I plan to be able to make a decision here before the release of the 2018 Summer Release.

4.0 is set to change the design to a line-based design. I’m currently working on the design and evaluate the need for purchasing some of the required icons. Icon dimensions will increase by 20% (32 to 38 pixels). The default width will increase by 48 pixels. The font will change to Segoe UI (which is wider than Tahoma and therefore couldn’t be used before).

5.0 will change YaTQA to support high-DPI displays.

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.
