EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery Release_19.0.8

EDDiscovery 19.0.8 EDD Canonn, Python Support, New Ship list views, Colonisation Panel

on GitHub

Pack updates:

• Voice pack 24 has been created for EDD v19 and above only. Improved selection of what to report by the surveyor. The surveyor panel itself now has dual switches for search discoveries to select if text and/or voice output is produced per discovery
• CANONN EDD plugin has been created, which provides you with (mostly) full Canonn functionality. Please install and test!
  This plugin already sends more data than the old Canonn add-on, so please replace it if you're using the old one. This plugin is in active development, so its panel features will improve in the future.

• Ships/Modules - added All Ships and Owned Ships view. See https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery/wiki/Using-the-Ships-Load-Out-Panel
