• We now test against, and package with, Python 3.9.9.

  As a consequence of this we no longer support Windows 7.
  This is due to Python 3.9.x itself not supporting Windows 7.
  The application (both EDMarketConnector.exe and EDMC.exe) will crash on startup due to a missing DLL.

  This should have no other impact on users or plugin developers, other than the latter now being free to use features that were introduced since the Python 3.7 series.

  Developers can check the contents of the .python-version file in the source (it's not distributed with the Windows installer) for the currently used version in a given branch.

Pre-Release 5.2.3-beta1

This release fixes one bug.

• Odyssey changed the order of some Journal events. This caused our logic for tracking the following to break, and thus not report them ever to Inara:

  • Ship Combat, Trade and Exploration ranks.
  • On-foot Combat and Exobiologist ranks.
  • Engineer unlocks and progress.
  • Reputations with Major Factions (Superpowers).

  This is now fixed and the current state of all of these will be correctly reported to Inara if you have API access for it configured.

Developers

• Now built using Python 3.9.9.
