Release Build 2.2.3

Release Notes

• #234 Fixes a major bug with v2.2.2 where the new filterable fields would not be loaded / saved correctly (Spell Effect & Spell Aura).
• Major performance improvements when opening the spell editor. All UI logic has been isolated to the UI thread and all other logic made concurrent where possible. Also fixes locking contention on a single SQL adapter by creating more temporary connections for the startup sequence.
• Refactor of DBC code to make the DBC Reader a temporary object that is cleaned up better.

Known issues in this release

• It appears that saving spells with the new spell filter options sometimes does not save correctly. It will only show incorrectly after the program is restarted.

Release Build 2.2.1

Release Notes

• #216 #220 Fixes the spell selection list not refreshing correctly. This occurred when saving a spell becausue it would update it in the UI but not in the in-memory data table. So when the entry was next refreshed, it would refresh with the wrong information. This change refactors the behaviour into the appropiate class and handles the data and UI update properly.
• Fixes a missing flag in Attributes3. Important to update your Language file to get this update.
• The program version is now displayed in the window title.

Release Build 2.0.3

Release Notes

• Fixes #178 #176 #144 #120 #119 #105. All database table usage should consistently be lower case now.
  • Bumped the MySQL.Data library version from 8.0.27 to 8.0.29.

Release Build 2.0.2

Release Notes

• Changes how unknown string offsets are handled when read from DBCs. If a unknown string offset was encountered in prior versions then an exception would be thrown and the program would halt. Instead of throwing an exception, it will now just log the error to debug_output.txt. The disadvantage of this approach is that it is silently failing and changing the corrupt data, but the advantage is the spell editor will work with these files. It seemed to be non-English locales where this happened most.
  • This change is mainly to help with #105 and #176.
• Bumps the Google.Protobuf version from 3.14.0 to 3.15.0
• Adds more 3.3.5 binding files to support more DBCs.
