Release 4.0.3

NB: Anyone who installed a 4.0.3-rcX release candidate version should first uninstall it before installing this.
Your settings are safe, they're in either the Registry on Windows, or in a file outside the install location on other OSes.
Your third-party plugins should also be safe, because you placed them in e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\EDMarketConnector\plugins, not in the installation plugins folder, didn't you ?

This release contains fixes for a handful of bugs in 4.0.2.0, as well as a switch to full Semantic Version strings.

• Switch to Semantic Version strings.

  • As part of this the version check with EDMC.exe -v might now show some exception/error output if it fails to download and parse the appcast file. The string it shows, new version available or not, should be the same format as previously.

• Fix for bug #616 - EDMC Not Showing "Station" after Update. This was caused by changes to the EDDB plugin inadvertently no longer maintaining some state that it turned out the Inara plugin was depending on.

  • Inara plugin is now using direct URLs for System and Station links. It no longer relies on you having entered an Inara API Key.
  • All three 'provider' plugins (EDDB, EDSM, Inara) should now be using the same logic for when they update and what they display.
  • If you Request Docking, whether the request succeeds or not, the station name will now show and be clickable.
  • If you Undock, Supercruise away or FSDJump away then any station name will be replaced with a × (multiply) character. As with unpopulated systems clicking this will take you either to the system page, or to a list of stations in the system (depending on provider used).

• A fix for ships without a player-set name using a single (space character) as their name in the UI, instead of the ship model name.

  See #614 - Ship is not displaying but IS hotlinked.

• A fix for some file paths on Linux not understanding ~ as "my home directory". this should help anyone setting up on linux.

  See #486 - Some info about running on Manjaro.

• A new option to use an alternate method of opening a URL for shipyard links. It's called 'Use alternate URL method' and is located in the 'File' > 'Settings' dialogue on the 'Configuration' tab, next to the dropdown used to choose shipyard provider. If your setup results in coriolis.io or edsy.org saying they can't load your build then try toggling this on.

  This method writes a small .html file, %LOCALAPPDATA%\EDMarketConnector\shipyard.html (or other-OS equivalent location), and directs your browser to open that. The file contains a meta refresh redirect to the URL for your build on your chosen shipyard provider. The file is not deleted after use, so you can also use this as "let's re-open that last build" facility even without EDMC running.

  Please let us know if this doesn't work for you! Anti-Virus or Software Firewalls might object to the "open .html file, and then it redirects" workaround.
