CHANGE LOGS

[ANCHOR="BDOToolkit_Changelog"]BDO Toolkit[/ANCHOR]

• 1.3.0 (Mar 28, 2018):
  - The installer has been touched up a little for the first time since release.
  - Version policy not included in this release, this means programs targetting older versions of the library will not be using this update. This is done to encourage users to update to the latest version of all of the provided tools. The next update which will include automatic updates will also not include the version policy, back to normal after that.
  - Performance improvements when asked to refresh the meta file's contents.
  - Performance improvements when saving modifications (rework still needed).
  - Performance improvements when checking for modifications.
  - Fixed file extraction possibly corrupting the file when attempting to clean up the file's data.
  - Fixed an optimization issue causing files with the same name to not be detected properly.
  
  
• 1.2.0 (Feb 28, 2018, 4,090 downloads):
  - Improved legacy patching support, although far from complete. Unintended behaviors may still occur.
  - Added Paz property to the FileBlock class.
  - Added property LegacyMods to class MetaFileInfo.
  - Performance improvements when attempting to locate file blocks.
  - Bug fixes.
  
  * Minor breaking changes, recompilation of affected programs is needed.
  
  
• 1.1.0 (Feb 10, 2018, 3,151 downloads):
  - Fixed and optimized adding file blocks.
  - Removed unneeded sort for file blocks.
  - Import() with matchPath set to false will now only compare the file name instead of the full path.
  
  
• 1.0.0 (Feb 7, 2018, 1,690 downloads):
  - First public release

[ANCHOR="MetaInjector_Changelog"]Meta Injector[/ANCHOR]

• 1.4.1 (August 10, 2020):
  - Eyesight check.
  - Added [ICODE]-files[/ICODE] launch argument to specify a directory other than "files_to_patch".
  - Added [ICODE]-paz[/ICODE] launch argument to specify a different Paz archive index to create (between 7777 and 99999) default is 61337. Note that archive index auto-increments when an archive would surpass 100MB with the next file to be included.
  - Small anti-measure for the hash flagging of XIGNCODE.
  
  
  
• 1.4.0.1 (June 27, 2019, 29,837 downloads):
  - Rebuilt/1.4.0 re-release to address XIGNCODE "detection".
  - Signed (apparently I forgot to do a year and a half ago).
  
  
• 1.4.0 (Mar 28, 2018, 39,817 downloads):
  - Meta contents refreshed every time the main menu is loaded and before attempting to patch.
  - Fixed underscore-prefixed files not being ignored.
  - Double dot/underscore folders will now have all the files inside them ignored (useful if you want to temporarily stop using certain files, without having to move them out).
  - More fixes regarding file detection order, now matches better with Windows Explorer.
  - Added numerous warnings regarding the automatic patching method.
  - Added duplicate file alerts.
  - Fixed an issue with the Restore N' Patch implementation.
  
  
• 1.3.0 (Feb 28, 2018, 4,086 downloads):
  - Current file number/total count for the current paz archive (the square brackets) will now be gray.
  - Added legacy patching support. To perform a legacy patch, create a "legacy" folder prefixed by a dot/underscore in the path of the files meant to be legacy patched, and place the files/folders inside (i.e. [ICODE]files_to_patch/_legacy/character/model/...[/ICODE]).
  - Added warning to option 2 to indicate that it's not fully compatible with all the changes made.
  
  * Requires BDO Toolkit 1.2.0 or higher.
  
  
• 1.2.2 (Feb 14, 2018, 2,457 downloads):
  - Fixed an issue where the last (and possibly only) file meant to be added to an archive would be skipped and re-attempted on the next archive which ended up skipping it again (fixes the archive creation loop).
  - Zeroes will now be filled when enumerating the files for a more consistent look.
  - If multiple archives are needed to perform the patch, the current file number for the current archive and the total amount of files meant for the archive would be displayed in square brackets after the total count (should make the "breaks" in patching clearer).
  
  
• 1.2.1 (Feb 11, 2018, 713 downloads):
  - Fixed an issue caused by the default sorting behavior of Windows, where files placed in a folder would be enumerated before the folders in that folder.
  
  
• 1.2.0 (Feb 10, 2018, 562 downloads):
  - Requires BDO Toolkit v1.1.0 or higher.
  - Underscore-prefixed folders have also been added as path exceptions similarly to dot-prefixed folders (since you can't actually create dot-prefixed folders via Windows Explorer).
  - Folders with the name "add" prefixed by a dot or underscore will have the files inside them added to the game if they don't exist (under the parent folder of the "add" folder. I.E. "character\texture\_add\" will add files to "character\texture\").
  - The file count when patching will now reflect the total count, not the count set for the currently used archive.
  
  
• 1.1.3 (Feb 10, 2018, 513 downloads):
  - Added the version to the title.
  - Fixed improper patching order caused by sorting.
  - Duplicate files will no longer be patched twice, the last one discovered will be the one applied.
  - Updated the description of the automatic detection.
  
  
• 1.1.2 (1.1.1 re-release, Feb 9, 2018, 69 + 224 downloads):
  - Dot-prefixed files are now ignored when the program is searching for files in "files_to_patch" (can be used to leave notes).
  - Minimum Paz archive size before skipping files that would cause the archive to exceed 100MB is changed from nothing to 10KB (this should address the issue with empty archives being created indefinitely when there are individual files larger than 100MB).
  
  
• 1.1.0 (Feb 8, 2018, 1,051 downloads):
  - Paz archives will now be built up to 100MB per archive, the paz number will start at 61337 and increment by one every time a new archive is needed (should fix the "Out of memory" exceptions).
  - Implemented Restore N' Patch support (currently only uses the "structure" patching method).
  
  
• 1.0.1 (Feb 7, 2018, 458 downloads):
  - First public release.

[ANCHOR="RestoreNPatch_Changelog"]Restore N' Patch[/ANCHOR]

• 1.3.2 (August 10, 2020):
  - Signed (should address the issue with Meta Injector).

• 1.3.1.3 (June 27, 2019, 15,519 downloads):
  - Rebuilt/1.3.1.2 re-release to address XIGNCODE "detection".
  
  
• 1.3.1.2 (Apr 25, 2019, 4,896 downloads):
  - Should address the issue where the program would proceed to the patching process before it was supposed to (when the launcher is relaunched due to an update, affects NA/EU non-Steam).
  - Game process/launcher search timeout increased from 5 to 60 seconds.
  - Fixes launcher reopens not being detected.
  
  
• 1.3.0 (Apr 5, 2019, 1,722 downloads):
  - Fixed automatic switch to "idle mode" when the launcher isn't found.
  - Added the [ICODE]-patch[/ICODE] argument which will force a re-patch of the files even if there wasn't an update.
  - Added the [ICODE]-launcher "path"[/ICODE] argument - allows the specification of a custom launcher path (for regions besides NA/EU, the launcher path has to be within quotes, ex: [ICODE]-launcher "C:\Path\To\The\Launcher.exe"[/ICODE]).
  - Added the [ICODE]-dontwait[/ICODE] argument which makes the program proceed even if the launcher has yet to close, this is automatically activated for the Steam client.
  - If there wasn't an update but the "patched" meta is clean, files will now be automatically patched instead of forcing the user to manually perform the patches (or use the newly added [ICODE]-patch[/ICODE] argument).
  - Fixed the issue where the program would fail to start if the last patched backup that was created was corrupted.
  
  
• 1.2.1 (Mar 28, 2018, 30,733 downloads):
  - The program will pause on errors so that they could be more easily reported.
  
  
• 1.2.0 (Feb 28, 2018, 3,519 downloads):
  - Will now automatically default to "idle mode" if the launcher is not found.
  - Fixes a possible conflict.
  
  * Compiled against BDO Toolkit 1.2.0, hence version 1.2.0 or higher is required.
  
  
• 1.1.0 (Feb 8, 2018, 2,543 downloads):
  - Added "idle mode", activated by the "-idle" startup argument. The mode disables all the launcher-related part of the code, and makes the program idle for the game process indefinitely until it's found.
  
  
• 1.0.0 (Feb 8, 2018, 88 downloads):
  - First public release.

[ANCHOR="OpenBD_Changelog"]OpenBD[/ANCHOR]

  - Backported to BDO Toolkit 1.3.0.
  - Relation groups will now maintain their default order.
  - The default exclusions file will now be automatically created when the program is started (no longer included separately in the archive).
  - Added [ICODE]Seek exclusions[/ICODE] option, which looks for all files named [ICODE].partcutdesc_exclusions.txt[/ICODE], [ICODE]_partcutdesc_exclusions.txt[/ICODE] and [ICODE]partcutdesc_exclusions.txt[/ICODE] inside the [ICODE]files_to_patch[/ICODE] folder (or the path specified with the [ICODE]-files <path>[/ICODE] launch argument) and combines them into [ICODE]partcutdesc_exclusions_merged.txt[/ICODE], which is now also read for exclusions when using [ICODE]Generate partcutdesc[/ICODE] (this allows shared mods to bundle their own exclusions file with entries relevant to the mod).
  - Fixed potential crashes.
  - Fixed count of files matched by a pattern.
  
  
• 0.2.0 (December 21, 2022):
