Release notes
Short summaries of changes in this installation, newest first.
v388 · Search both Clan and reporting names
Find source-defined Clan and Inner Sphere reporting names through the shared unit searches, including Timber Wolf / Mad Cat and Summoner / Thor. Show both names in equipment suggestions and unit-library results, while preserving exact variants, saved canonical names, current-source values and inventory relationships. Verify source checksums and alternate-name metadata during the release build; keep private custom source permissions in force.
v387 · Reuse exact-variant equipment search in Aces
Replace the separate Aces search-and-dropdown with the shared equipment typeahead, unit-type filter, keyboard selection, current BV/PV details and a selected-unit preview. Use the same picker for starting units, unrestricted purchases, eligible Omni variants and scenario vehicle bindings. Keep current-source calculations, authorization, availability and prices checked on the server. Preserve selected source identities, search context, box-set edits and native failed-save drafts through in-place navigation. Clear stale selections when typing or changing type. Keep the ordinary company equipment lookup working and provide a paginated server-rendered Aces fallback instead of refusing broad searches above 100 results.
v386 · Catch up the branching Aces sortie history
Add a GM-only paper history draft: choose a played sortie, record its outcome and follow only the resulting legal next choices, with failure/replay, undo and review before application. Share branch-answer and next-sortie rules with live settlement. Carry recorded campaign keywords, conditional routes and the campaign ending without awarding historical finances or pilot SP again. Apply the current paper force, Warchest and pilot totals as the campaign snapshot, preserving receipts and recording history. Setup adoption does not replay starting funds; stale suggestions are cancelled with original votes retained. Add shared menus, overview/dashboard links, history logs, Help and scoped keyboard focus for the next wizard step.
v385 · Catch up Aces Warchest and pilot SP from paper
Add GM-only Warchest from paper and Pilot SP from paper pages with absolute totals, required source notes and old/new history. Preserve pilot investments, abilities and details; reject earned totals below invested SP and retain entered values after validation errors. Preserve an explicitly recorded setup Warchest at force commitment without booking the opening funds twice. Keep ordinary allowance and force checks. Use existing asynchronous forms, membership, CSRF, revision, audit, transaction and operation receipts. Add shared menus, contextual links, breadcrumbs and Help.
v384 · Enter Aces decisions directly as GM
GM saves now apply Aces force, pilot, purchase and session decisions immediately so choices already made on paper do not require another vote. Players still submit suggestions and vote. Add Apply as GM for existing open or tied suggestions, preserving original authors and votes and recording the applying GM, time and before/after balances. Use the same current-source rules, costs, stages, transaction, audit, revision and operation receipts as voted decisions. Updated labels and Help distinguish direct GM saves from player suggestions. Repair the shared trade-stage allowlist so sale and Omni decisions can be made between sorties, with the same current-source pricing for GM entries and player votes.
v383 · Make Named pilots Add submit the suggestion
Replace the navigation-only Add link on an open new-pilot form with Add pilot suggestion, which submits the entered name, assigned player and unit type. Show pending pilot suggestions and links to voting on the new-pilot screen; approval still creates the pilot and applies the existing investment and replacement rules. Preserve existing-pilot Add navigation, shared/personal investment saves, drafts, failure retention, replay protection and the server-rendered fallback. Restore stable-control focus after an asynchronous save without stealing later user focus. Keep toolbar Add/Save controls connected to their editor after a failed save, and retain actionable correction links without changing saved form identities.
v382 · Show genuine pilot-card sides once
Stop displaying repeated source scans as extra card sides in the pilot reference, original-card printing and side-image requests. Keep genuine backs and continuation pages, and preserve every source image, source-page reference, pilot identity and campaign record.
v381 · 24 new scanned pilot cards
Add 24 distinct pilots from More Pilots.pdf, bringing the shared source library to 620 cards and 1,194 original scan records. Retain all 32 new source pages while keeping four already cataloged pilots and four repeated copies under their existing identities. Preserve printed ratings, specializations, biographies and source images; retain campaign-era and unsupported ability review before campaign approval. Reuse the reviewed Inspiring conversion for Craig Gulledge without changing existing pilots, campaign edits, skills, receipts or accounting. Repeat the normal scanned-library import to add only missing cards.
v380 · Add existing users to an Aces shared force
Organizers can browse or filter existing eligible accounts on Shared-force invitations and add a player directly without sending a link or email. Show current players, exclude existing, removed, blocked, disabled, unverified and placeholder accounts, and preserve ordinary player permissions, saved votes, attendance and finances. Keep additions asynchronous with retained drafts, authorized and audited transactions, duplicate/replay protection and a server-rendered fallback. Existing invitation links and email remain available. Fix mouse selection in shared text dropdowns so a wrapping label cannot reopen the options list after choosing a value; preserve keyboard filtering and change handlers.
v379 · Aces setup guidance and integration review standards
Clarify introductory Help so Aces players use campaign-book selection, shared-force invitations and Tabletop pages rather than Hot Spots company setup. Carry forward the campaign-specific Aces creation, overview, dashboard, navigation and Edge reference fixes from v378. Strengthen repository review procedures with pre-change impact maps, assumption searches, role-based acceptance journeys, a coverage matrix and a separate integration review before packaging. These are development instructions, not new application features.
v378 · Campaign-specific Aces setup and navigation
Choose campaign type first. Aces creation asks for its installed campaign book and combat system, while hiding unrelated Hot Spots company, RAT, calendar and Dobless settings. Create and initialize the shared Aces force atomically, then open Campaign options; retain Hot Spots league, calendar and service creation separately. Show Aces book, shared force and next steps on the overview and dashboard, with campaign-specific menus and no company, merchant or contract detours. Use the selected Aces Edge collection in the rules reference instead of incorrectly showing Hinterlands SPAs and reference point costs. Retain drafts while switching creation types, asynchronous validation, server-rendered fallback, CSRF/role checks and creation rollback protection. Scouring Sands is installed; Snowblind is visibly unavailable until its content is added.
v377 · Source-based Aces emplacements and infantry equivalents
Use the supplied three emplacement cards automatically in new Aces mission packets; keep buildings separate from vehicles and retain existing saved bindings until explicitly adopted. Add documented Classic and Override building adaptations with native autocannons, weapon critical controls and remaining-gun combat references; exclude the Heavy Hover APC. Verify exact source matches for the supplied Clan Foot Point and AP Gauss Elementals and add source-based Override combat tables that follow surviving troopers or suits. Preserve source pricing, historical records and active mission snapshots; update Help with conversion choices and remaining special-equipment limitations.
v376 · Aces campaigns and shared tabletop assistance
Add Scouring Sands as an Aces campaign with one collaborative force, progressive briefings, optional tutorials, reconnaissance, branching, supply purchases, Aces expenses and printable campaign logs. Support Alpha Strike, Classic and Override starting budgets and pilot progression, using the printable-log Edge thresholds and the reviewed 210 PV Sortie 08 option. Add shared suggestions, votes, organizer tie-breaking, shared-force invitations and session attendance, with real-time initiative for Aces and Hot Spots. Pair physical and digital Aces cards by their footer identifiers, retain independent front/back priorities, and require explicit activation-group confirmation. Add optional native damage trackers, helper permissions, concealed or summarized opposition health and reviewed, repeat-protected aftermath accounting. Keep original Hot Spots pay, diagnostics and settlement workflows when transferring tracker conditions; add exact saved-record correction links and updated Help.
v375 · Reviewed pilot-card abilities and Legendary restrictions
Bind Inspiring Commander to Inspiring, preserve printed SPA reroll counts, and add one Draconis Reach Edge point for printed levels above one. Add the reviewed Phantom 'Mech and No Pity, No Remorse, No Fear rules for their eligible saved pilot identities only. Reconcile catalog and current linked pilot data once through Database updates without replaying payments or changing historical receipts.
v374 · Concise Edge ability descriptions
Remove the repeated conversion disclaimer and generic activation paragraph from Edge ability descriptions. Update existing catalog text once through Database updates, preserving ability effects, source evidence and campaign history.
