Changes since 2.0.4 can be seen on the Bugtracker, important stuff includes so far:

- Switched Windows toolchain to Visual C++ 2015
- Updated backend libraries
- Ported patch tesselation code from idtech4, completely replacing the one in DR

 

pre2:

- Fixed the black images appearing in the Entity Inspector list

- Rewrote the PreferenceDialog code, should resolve the blank preferences window

- Fixed the Objectives Numbers not being rendered in the list (Objectives Editor)

 

pre3 (2016-06-25):

- Added AAS File Visualisation. The dialog is available through the "View" menu and/or by pressing Ctrl-Shift-A (default mapping)

- Added feature to Pan the camera view by clicking Ctrl-RMB and dragging (#4333: 3d view port shortcut to pan while not in free look)

- Double-clicking tree view items now expands/collapses them

- Fixed #4325: Empty func_static entity after switching classname and hitting undo

 

pre4 (2016-09-19):

- Fixed #4280: Aspect ratio displayed incorrectly in particle editor

- Experimental Grouping code, see separate Grouping Feature Discussion thread

- Fixed: MoveSelectionUP command crashing DR when nothing is selected

- Inverted Y direction for PanCamera tool

- Tons of refactorings and back-end stuff

- Fixed various compilation errors in Linux

 

pre5 (2016-09-25):

- Fixed #4355: Problem with starting a new conversation with the conversation editor

- Fixed #4375: Moving objects to a hidden layer doesn't cause them to immediately disappear

- Fixed #4386: Projected lights don't rotate around their origin anymore

 

pre6 (2016-10-16)

- Improved Selection Group handling a bit. This should lead to better (expected) behaviour when inverting the selection or selecting elements through various features or by means of layers.

- Fixed #4355 better this time: Problem with starting a new conversation with the conversation editor

- Fixed #4373: Connecting lines are created in Default layer. Also, target lines of cloned nodes might appear hidden at first.

- Fixed #4391: Aimed particles have incorrect orientation or shape

- Fixed a crash when editing float-valued spawnargs

Particularly, since I've been changing so many things in the backend, I'd like to hear if people can successfully startup this build on their end. Just take the portable version, extract it and see if it comes up.

Yes, it does. I opened up the Saint Lucia map w/it, and all looked fine.

 

I'm on Win7.

 

Will continue using it and report back.

I'll be glad to be looking over the next batch of pre-releases, greebo. Downloaded the portable version, starts fine. The Dark Radiant preferences window shows a blank screen (windows grey with no window elements inside it). Perhaps as a consequence, every time you restart DR it seems to ask you to setup your game location as it does not remember what you set up previously.

Make sure to keep backups around, the patch code has been changed from the ground up. It should be fine, but better be safe than sorry.

I can confirm that the preferences dialog is blank, strangely enough.

Well, aren't all those distro releases great? Real pleasure to work with.

 

Don't have Ubuntu 16 around here, and to be honest, I'm not terribly motivated to set up another VM to hunt that one down at the moment.

Backups readily available if needed.

 

Blank preferences dialogue confirmed here as well.

I'm seeing little black squares in the entity property field for various func_static spawnargs.

Hm, I can't repro that. My icons appear fine on my end.

 

edit: scratch, that. I can see the same, but only for inherited properties.

Fixed the black icons in the Entity Inspector, which seems to be caused by the wxWidgets 3.1.0 upgrade. The same is probably true for the Preference Dialog, but this will be harder to work around.

If you import a map from the file menu, you get the two properties "editor_drLastCameraAngle" and "editor_drLastCameraPos" which aren't inherited, but also have black squares.

 

If anyone's encountering weird stuff like textures defaulting to 0 horizontal and vertical scale and their Textures pane having 1 pixel thumbnails, it seems that opening the blank preferences menu will mess up the information stored in your various xml files. If you want to be sure there's no cross-contamination if you're switching DR versions, go to your %appdata%/DarkRadiant folder, or wherever DR keeps its settings on your OS, and delete your user.xml etc. files. Make backups first, of course, or you'll lose your custom keybindings.

I ran a file comparison and couldn't see anything obviously wrong between the xmls my two different DR versions generated. For sure though, some odd bugs cropped up that I was not able to reproduce once I cleaned up the %appdata% folder and let DR 2.0.5 pre1 generate them anew.

Found another bug, but haven't been able to reproduce on demand yet.

 

But the end result is that the texture inspector window itself becomes black, looses almost all of the textures used in a given map. The 2 times this has happened, I have been trying to copy a texture onto multiple faces.

 

I'll log a tracker once I can reproduce it on demand.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
