Army Builder V3.2d Released

[rob]

Due to a number of users disliking the new mouse-over behavior introduced in V3.2c, we have released V3.2d. This update revises the mouse-over behavior somewhat and also allows it to be disabled via the Settings menu.

You can download V3.2d via the Downloads page on the website or simply use the Updates mechanism within Army Builder.

thank you, thank you, thank you. I had assumed that was a bug or something. Great news for me!

I've been happily running 3.2b and the only problem that I've encountered is that a print preview is not completely accurate (in that when a print preview will show a list printing on 1 page or 2 pages, the actual output ends up being just over the number of pages in the preview). Not a biggy, but I often change the output options just to make sure that the roster fits on the 1/2 pages.

What are the bug fixes in 3.2c?

Apart from the mouse-over behaviour, any other changes included in 3.2d?

Can we assume that all data files and rosters are compatible between 3.2b, 3.2c and 3.2d?

Thanks

There should be 100% data file compatability between all flavors of V3.2. The only exception would be for bugs fixed in patches that address problems in earlier releases.

Here's a list of all the changes in V3.2c and subsequent releases, as pulled from the readme file included with the product....

Bugs Fixed in V3.2d (End-User Features)
---------------------------------------
1. Some tooltips would appear over controls even when normal tooltips were
disabled.
2. The unit/item tips no longer obscure the unit you mouse over when they
appear.


Bugs Fixed in V3.2c (Authoring Features)
----------------------------------------

None


Enhancements and Changes in V3.2c (End-User Features)
-----------------------------------------------------
1. The Check Internet Connection diagnostic now uses https to verify
communication with one of our servers, just in case normal http works but
secure http does not.


Enhancements and Changes in V3.2c (Authoring Features)
------------------------------------------------------
1. If you include a 0-byte file in a Army Builder import file, Army Builder
will delete the file after import. This allows you to delete pre-existing
files in the game system's folder by replacing them with 0-byte files, which
will be deleted after import.
2. Army Builder now detects whether it needs to be run as an Administrator on
Windows Vista / Windows 7, and warns you if you need to run it as such.
3. When ABCreator is launched from within Army Builder, it automatically
enables data file debugging. Also, ABCreator warns you if data file
debugging is not enabled when it runs.
4. If the PDFCanvas component is not present in the registry, Army Builder now
tries to load the appropriate DLL from the standard windows locations
before giving up. This allows you to simply place the DLL in the product
folder if you are not permitted to make changes to the registry.
5. The announcement display on the updates form now changes to the "hand"
cursor if the mouse is over a clickable hot zone.


Bugs Fixed in V3.2c (End-User Features)
---------------------------------------
1. Fixed a bug that meant certain runtime tags would not be found just after
adding a new unit to the roster, meaning that the unit would display
incorrectly for its first evaluation cycle.
2. Tooltips should no longer interfere with dragging and dropping units.
3. In squad validation rules, testing tags will now test both the accrued tags
AND the squad tags, instead of just the squad tags (an erroneous change
made in 3.2b).
4. The - (dash) character is no longer being incorrectly accepted in game
folder names.
