Release Notes
Current:
2023-05-04 12:39: 2023 Dragon Month (辰月) Minor Release
Updates
Having gotten over a big hump with the last release, I am in the process of trying to be more regular about releases and work tracking. As such, this is the first "minor" release that focuses on fixing issues in existing content but does not introduce any significant new content (which would make it a "major" release). It is hoped that there will be monthly releases, bouncing between minor and major based on what I have available. Until then, and taking the date in mind, live long and prosper!
- Source Code
- Moved most TODOs in the code to either GitHub Issues or Trello cards. Note that Trello board is the public one, there is also a private board. I don't normally put internal facing stuff in these notes, but it felt worthwhile in this case.
- Website
- Fixed Issue 1, adding a link to the issues repository to the index page and in the header on relevant pages.
- Transcript Overhaul
- Fixed Issue 7 where previous transcripts were included in the current one.
- Fixed Issue 8 where transcription could be started twice by failing to enter a name when prompted.
- Fixed Issue 9 where a dialog accepting a name for a transcript was shown that didn't do anything.
- Fixed Issue 10 where the download link for a transcript was hidden behind the command prompt.
- Fixed Issue 91 where the version spew was not correctly styled when "TRANSCRIPT ON" was issued.
- Fixed Issue 84 where clicking on the Play Online page would scroll down to the bottom of the playthrough text.
- Fixed Issue 87, replacing the previous monospace font with a
new one that does not have double-width Greek characters.
- As an add-on, fixed Issue 103 to adjust for the new font.
- Added Open Graph metadata to all pages, fixing Issue 85.
- Added a new help file describing features for playtesters as well as providing a link to the issues repository. This fixes Issue 2 and Issue 23.
- Fixed small CSS issues, including some unbugged ones:
- Game
- Seattle Apartment
- Fixed Issue 26 where "ENVELOPE" was not accepted for Glitch's Notes.
- Fixed Issue 40 where no directional guidance was given in the Apartment Living Room.
- Fixed Issue 56 where several issues with how the items on the Refrigerator Door in the Apartment Kitchen were described, including a run-time error when the face magnets had been taken.
- Fixed Issue 77 where Ada would pick up plushies from the altar when trying to "PLACE" them on the wooden chopsticks. She now will even just place the chopsticks on the altar instead if asked to "PLACE" something on them when they're in her hand.
- Glitch's Non-Breaking Space
- Funge Space
- Conversation
- Fixed Issue 83 where unhelpful responses were given for commands like "SAY HELLO GLITCH". Now such commands that contain the words "hello", "hi", "goodbye", or "bye" will be treated as saying hello or goodbye respectively.
- Smartphones
- As part of fixing Issue 17, it is no longer necessary to "TAP BACK" before switching between phone applications. That is, given the command "TAP SPELLS", Ada will tap over to the spell app first if she needs to.
- Fixed small typos throughout
- Seattle Apartment
