Stop GPUs from screaming

Download (Windows Installer) | Download (Any OS, ZIP)

• Added automatic VSync and frame limiter. Your GPU will no longer produce coil whine because it's busy running Remote at terrifyingly high uncapped FPS. When you tab out, the frame rate is set to 10, so it should hopefully work even better on lower-end machines than before.
• Added logging for obtaining the information from a manual with Hooks.
• Added tooltip that shows the locations that can be accessed if an item is gotten.
• Fixed #2 - unreferenced YAML options no longer crash the application.
• Fixed ImGui's ID conflict message appearing when the same item appears in more than one category.
• Fixed items not appearing because categories were specified but were left empty.
• Improved compatibility with locations.json by allowing it to be an object containing an array, instead of only accepting a top-level array.
• Improved logging by also redirecting to a temporary file.
• Improved Hooks support by making the python loader more aware of the environment.
• Improved reliability of getting hints by utilizing the new Hints API, provided by Archipelago.

It's my birthday!

• Added support for region sets that do not contain any starting regions. This fixes some locations being marked as reachable due to their region logic being discarded.
• Fixed categories being considered always enabled.
• Fixed crash when attempting to manually reconnect within the Settings tab.
• Fixed items and locations sometimes still appearing even when disabled by YAML settings. This would occur when at least one category wouldn't be disabled.
• Improved logic display on unreachable locations to be sometimes more succinct.
• Improved error handling for when an error occurs during APWorld loading.

Improve APWorld detection

Download (Windows Installer) | Download (Any OS, ZIP)

• Added new environment variable REMOTE_DEBUG_CLIENT_EVALUATOR to redirect evaluator progress to standard output.
• Added new environment variable REMOTE_DEBUG_LOGIC_TRIM and REMOTE_DEBUG_LOGIC_TRIM_NULL to redirect logic optimizations to standard output. The latter being separated into its own environment variable due to how frequently it logs.
• Changed disabled categories to always be hidden.
• Fixed crash caused by count from items.json being misread when the number is a floating point.
• Fixed Data.py not being executed when partial data exists within items.json and locations.json. It now checks if the file has been altered to determine if it requires starting a python process.
• Fixed Desktop Notifications for Windows.
• Improved APWorld detection by now reading every game.json if file names do not match. This still isn't perfect, but is still significantly better than before.
• Improved safety of Desktop Notifications for Mac by using environment variables instead of string interpolation with manually escaped characters (potentially unsafe!).

Goal fixes

Download (Windows Installer) | Download (Any OS, ZIP)

• Fixed goal button reappearing after being pressed when reconnecting to the slot. This state is now saved in history.json to hide the button if you have already pressed it before.
• Fixed location footer not showing up when the only action available there is the goal button, the workaround is to select any location to make you able to release.

Increase compatibility for manual's edgecases

• Fixed autocomplete sorting, now properly functions.
• Fixed regression where accepting an autocomplete suggestion would crash the entire application.
• Improved support for canReachLocation by supporting recursion into itself.
• Improved support for item counts and categories by accepting a JSON string.

Proper OptOne support

Download (Windows Installer) | Download (Any OS, ZIP)

• Changed display of OptOne and OptAll in the out-of-logic explanation tooltip.
• Changed history.json to no longer store "item": 0, since this is always implied.
• Changed location tickboxes' text to now be colored based on whether it is priority, excluded, or hinted.
• Fixed header's counter not updating when some of its locations are hidden.
• Fixed regression where a logic parse error no longer opened a window to notify the user.
• Improved compatibility of OptOne, now supporting pipes, as well as use of categories.
• Improved performance of OptAll, now aggressively cached to remove having to parse the Logic every single time.

Small fixes

Download (Windows Installer) | Download (Any OS, ZIP)

• Fixed crash when closing a tab while the tab furthest to the right is selected.
• Fixed lag when receiving an item while number of items obtained exceed number of remaining locations. It caused logic to be recalculated every frame, instead of once and marking the operation as done until another item has been received.
• Fixed tooltip showing up twice when hovering over the last word of an item.
