Release Notes

This version brings lots of minor improvements and bug fixes.

Features

  • Localize Wikipedia API queries for object information.
  • Add file-level cache to TLE subsystem. TLE files are also cached per-group to avoid unnecessary sequential calls to fetch the same file. By default, the TTL for TLE files is 1 hour.
  • Directory structure of virtual texture tiles now accepts more formats (levelx, levelxx, x, xx).
  • Set default virtual texture cache size to 10. Add information tooltip to cache size in preferences window.
  • Add markers for towns and landmarks. Night lights go out with ambient light in PBR shader.
  • Country perimeter lines disappear when the camera gets close to the surface of the Planet.
  • Add new attributes to dataset definition format: links (now accepts multiple sources as links), creator (the creator or curator of the dataset), credits (specific attribute for credits instead of adding them to the description; multiple strings accepted).

Bug Fixes

  • Typo in default shader class (u_emissionCubemap -> u_emissiveCubemap) prevented emissive/night cubemaps from working.
  • Add nightCubemap as alias to emissiveCubemap in material component.
  • Add specularValue and specularValues as aliases to specular in material component, with floating point number parameters.
  • Properly filtre directories when building the SVT quadtree structure to avoid incorrect ‘Worng directory name format’ warnings.
  • Deactivating atmospheres causes night texture to apply uniformly to all planet as if it were a regular emissive texture.
  • Procedural generation window does not fit in the window with the new UI theme. Fix layout by introducing scroll panes and resizing elements.
  • Layout issue in right pane of dataset manager window prevented it from using scroll, causing the window to be too large in some cases.
  • Layout issue and tooltip text in datasets component.
  • Move genVersionFile task to the top of the dependency list (before compileJava) so that we always have the correct file available.
  • Mend wording in new data pack notification window.
