# Release notes ## 1.14 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.13.1...1.14). For players: * SMAPI now shows a friendly error when it can't detect the game. * SMAPI now shows a friendly error when you have Stardew Valley 1.11 or earlier (which aren't compatible). * SMAPI now shows a friendly error if a mod dependency is missing (if it's listed in the mod's manifest). * Fixed "unknown mod" deprecation warnings by improving how SMAPI detects the mod using the event. For modders: * Added `Context.IsInDrawLoop` for specialised mods. * You can now list mod dependencies in the `manifest.json`. SMAPI will make sure your dependencies are loaded before your mod, and will show a friendly error if a dependency is missing. * Fixed `smapi-crash.txt` being copied from the default log even if a different path is specified with `--log-path`. ## 1.13.1 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.13...1.13.1). For players: * Fixed errors when loading a mod with no name or version. * Fixed mods with no manifest `Name` field having no name (SMAPI will now shows their filename). ## 1.13 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.12...1.13). For players: * SMAPI now recovers better from mod draw errors and detects when the error is irrecoverable. * SMAPI now recovers automatically from errors in the game loop when possible. * SMAPI now remembers if your game crashed and offers help next time you launch it. * Fixed installer sometimes finding redundant game paths. * Fixed save events not being raised after the first day on Linux/Mac. * Fixed error on Linux/Mac when a mod loads a PNG immediately after the save is loaded. * Updated mod compatibility list for Stardew Valley 1.2. For mod developers: * Added a `Context.IsWorldReady` flag for mods to use. _This indicates whether a save is loaded and the world is finished initialising, which starts at the same point that `SaveEvents.AfterLoad` and `TimeEvents.AfterDayStarted` are raised. This is mainly useful for events which can be raised before the world is loaded (like update tick)._ * Added a `debug` console command which lets you run the game's debug commands (e.g. `debug warp FarmHouse 1 1` warps you to the farmhouse). * Added basic context info to logs to simplify troubleshooting. * Added a `Mod.Dispose` method which can be overriden to clean up before exit. This method isn't guaranteed to be called on every exit. * Deprecated mods that don't have a `Name`, `Version`, or `UniqueID` in their manifest. These will be required in SMAPI 2.0. * Deprecated `GameEvents.GameLoaded` and `GameEvents.FirstUpdateTick`. You can move any affected code into your mod's `Entry` method. * Fixed maps not recognising custom tilesheets added through the SMAPI content API. * Internal refactoring for upcoming features. ## 1.12 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.11...1.12). For players: * The installer now lets you choose the install path if you have multiple copies of the game, instead of using the first path found. * Fixed mod draw errors breaking the game. * Fixed mods on Linux/Mac no longer working after the game saves. * Fixed libgdiplus DLL-not-found errors on Linux/Mac when mods read PNG files. * Adopted pufferchick. For mod developers: * Unknown mod manifest fields are now stored in `IManifest::ExtraFields`. * The content API now defaults to `ContentSource.ModFolder`. * Fixed content API error when loading a PNG during early game init (e.g. in mod's `Entry`). * Fixed content API error when loading an XNB from the mod folder on Mac. ## 1.11 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.10...1.11). For players: * SMAPI now detects issues in `ObjectInformation.xnb` files caused by outdated XNB mods. * Errors when loading a save are now shown in the SMAPI console. * Improved console logging performance. * Fixed errors during game update causing the game to hang. * Fixed errors due to mod events triggering during game save in Stardew Valley 1.2. For mod developers: * Added a content API which loads custom textures/maps/data from the mod's folder (`.xnb` or `.png` format) or game content. * `Console.Out` messages are now written to the log file. * `Monitor.ExitGameImmediately` now aborts SMAPI initialisation and events more quickly. * Fixed value-changed events being raised when the player loads a save due to values being initialised. ## 1.10 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.9...1.10). For players: * Updated to Stardew Valley 1.2. * Added logic to rewrite many mods for compatibility with game updates, though some mods may still need an update. * Fixed `SEHException` errors affecting some players. * Fixed issue where SMAPI didn't unlock some files on exit. * Fixed rare issue where the installer would crash trying to delete a bundled mod from `%appdata%`. * Improved TrainerMod commands: * Added `world_setyear` to change the current year. * Replaced `player_addmelee` with `player_addweapon` with support for non-melee weapons. For mod developers: * Mods are now initialised after the `Initialize`/`LoadContent` phase, which means the `GameEvents.Initialize` and `GameEvents.LoadContent` events are deprecated. You can move any logic in those methods to your mod's `Entry` method. * Added `IsBetween` and string overloads to the `ISemanticVersion` methods. * Fixed mouse-changed event never updating prior mouse position. * Fixed `monitor.ExitGameImmediately` not working correctly. * Fixed `Constants.SaveFolderName` not set for a new game until the save is created. ## 1.9 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.8...1.9). For players: * SMAPI now detects incompatible mods and disables them before they cause problems. * SMAPI now allows mods nested into an otherwise empty parent folder (like `Mods\ModName-1.0\ModName\manifest.json`), since that's a common default behaviour when unpacking mods. * The installer now detects if you need to update .NET Framework before installing SMAPI. * The installer now detects if you need to run the game at least once (to let it perform first-time setup) before installing SMAPI. * The installer on Linux now finds games installed to `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley` too. * The installer now removes old SMAPI logs to prevent confusion. * The console now has simpler error messages. * The console now has improved command handling & feedback. * The console no longer shows the game's debug output (unless you use a _SMAPI for developers_ build). * Fixed the game-needs-an-update error not pausing before exit. * Fixed installer errors for some players when deleting files. * Fixed installer not ignoring potential game folders that don't contain a Stardew Valley exe. * Fixed installer not recognising Linux/Mac paths starting with `~/` or containing an escaped space. * Fixed TrainerMod letting you add invalid items which may crash the game. * Fixed TrainerMod's `world_downminelevel` command not working. * Fixed rare issue where mod dependencies would override SMAPI dependencies and cause unpredictable bugs. * Fixed errors in mods' console command handlers crashing the game. For mod developers: * Added a simpler API for console commands (see `helper.ConsoleCommands`). * Added `TimeEvents.AfterDayStarted` event triggered when a day starts. This happens no matter how the day started (including new game, loaded save, or player went to bed). * Added `ContentEvents.AfterLocaleChanged` event triggered when the player changes the content language (for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.2). * Added `SaveEvents.AfterReturnToTitle` event triggered when the player returns to the title screen (for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.2). * Added `helper.Reflection.GetPrivateProperty` method. * Added a `--log-path` argument to specify the SMAPI log path during testing. * SMAPI now writes XNA input enums (`Buttons` and `Keys`) to JSON as strings automatically, so mods no longer need to add a `StringEnumConverter` themselves for those. * The SMAPI log now has a simpler filename. * The SMAPI log now shows the OS caption (like "Windows 10") instead of its internal version when available. * The SMAPI log now always uses `\r\n` line endings to simplify crossplatform viewing. * Fixed `SaveEvents.AfterLoad` being raised during the new-game intro before the player is initialised. * Fixed SMAPI not recognising `Mod` instances that don't subclass `Mod` directly. * Several obsolete APIs have been removed (see [deprecation guide](http://canimod.com/guides/updating-a-smapi-mod)), and all _notice_-level deprecations have been increased to _info_. * Removed the experimental `IConfigFile`. For SMAPI developers: * Added support for debugging SMAPI on Linux/Mac if supported by the editor. ## 1.8 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.7...1.8). For players: * Mods no longer generate `.cache` subfolders. * Fixed multiple issues where mods failed during assembly loading. * Tweaked install package to reduce confusion. For mod developers: * The `SemanticVersion` constructor now accepts a string version. * Increased deprecation level for `Extensions` to _pending removal_. * **Warning:** `Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location` will no longer reliably return a valid path, because mod assemblies are loaded from memory when rewritten for compatibility. This approach has been discouraged since SMAPI 1.3; use `helper.DirectoryPath` instead. For SMAPI developers: * Rewrote assembly loading from the ground up. The new implementation... * is much simpler; * eliminates the `.cache` folders by loading rewritten assemblies from memory; * ensures DLLs are loaded in leaf-to-root order (i.e. dependencies first); * improves dependent assembly resolution; * no longer loads DLLs if they're not referenced; * reduces log verbosity. ## 1.7 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.6...1.7). For players: * The console now shows the folder path where mods should be added. * The console now shows deprecation warnings after the list of loaded mods (instead of intermingled). For mod developers: * Added a mod registry which provides metadata about loaded mods. * The `Entry(…)` method is now deferred until all mods are loaded. * Fixed `SaveEvents.BeforeSave` and `.AfterSave` not triggering on days when the player shipped something. * Fixed `PlayerEvents.LoadedGame` and `SaveEvents.AfterLoad` being fired before the world finishes initialising. * Fixed some `LocationEvents`, `PlayerEvents`, and `TimeEvents` being fired during game startup. * Increased deprecation levels for `SObject`, `LogWriter` (not `Log`), and `Mod.Entry(ModHelper)` (not `Mod.Entry(IModHelper)`) to _pending removal_. Increased deprecation levels for `Mod.PerSaveConfigFolder`, `Mod.PerSaveConfigPath`, and `Version.VersionString` to _info_. ## 1.6 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.5...1.6). For players: * Added console commands to open the game/data folders. * Updated list of incompatible mods. * Fixed `config.json` values being duplicated in some cases. * Fixed some Linux users not being able to launch SMAPI from Steam. * Fixed the installer not finding custom install paths on 32-bit Windows. * Fixed error when loading a mod which was released with a `.cache` folder for a different platform. * Fixed error when the console doesn't support colour. * Fixed error when a mod reads a custom JSON file from a directory that doesn't exist. For mod developers: * Added three events: `SaveEvents.BeforeSave`, `SaveEvents.AfterSave`, and `SaveEvents.AfterLoad`. * Deprecated three events: * `TimeEvents.OnNewDay` is unreliable; use `TimeEvents.DayOfMonthChanged` or `SaveEvents` instead. * `PlayerEvents.LoadedGame` is replaced by `SaveEvents.AfterLoad`. * `PlayerEvents.FarmerChanged` serves no purpose. For SMAPI developers: * Added support for specifying a lower bound in mod incompatibility data. * Added support for custom incompatible-mod error text. * Fixed issue where `TrainerMod` used older logic to detect the game path. ## 1.5 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.4...1.5). For players: * Added an option to disable update checks. * SMAPI will now show a friendly error with update links when you try to use a known incompatible mod version. * Fixed an error when a mod uses the new reflection API on a missing field or method. * Fixed an issue where mods weren't notified of a menu change if it changed while SMAPI was still notifying mods of the previous change. For developers: * Deprecated `Version` in favour of `SemanticVersion`. _This new implementation is [semver 2.0](http://semver.org/)-compliant, introduces `NewerThan(version)` and `OlderThan(version)` convenience methods, adds support for parsing a version string into a `SemanticVersion`, and fixes various bugs with the former implementation. This also replaces `Manifest` with `IManifest`._ * Increased deprecation levels for `SObject`, `Extensions`, `LogWriter` (not `Log`), `SPlayer`, and `Mod.Entry(ModHelper)` (not `Mod.Entry(IModHelper)`). ## 1.4 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.3...1.4). For players: * SMAPI will now prevent mods from crashing your game with menu errors. * The installer will now automatically detect most custom install paths. * The installer will now automatically clean up old SMAPI files. * Each mod now has its own `.cache` folder, so removing the mod won't leave orphaned cache files behind. * Improved installer wording to reduce confusion. * Fixed the installer not removing TrainerMod from appdata if it's already in the game mods directory. * Fixed the installer not moving mods out of appdata if the game isn't installed on the same Windows partition. * Fixed the SMAPI console not being shown on Linux and Mac. For developers: * Added a reflection API (via `helper.Reflection`) that simplifies robust access to the game's private fields and methods. * Added a searchable `list_items` console command to replace the `out_items`, `out_melee`, and `out_rings` commands. * Added `TypeLoadException` details when intercepted by SMAPI. * Fixed an issue where you couldn't debug into an assembly because it was copied into the `.cache` directory. That will now only happen if necessary. ## 1.3 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.2...1.3). For players: * You can now run most mods on any platform (e.g. run Windows mods on Linux/Mac). * Fixed the normal uninstaller not removing files added by the 'SMAPI for developers' installer. ## 1.2 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.1.1...1.2). For players: * Fixed compatibility with some older mods. * Fixed mod errors in most event handlers crashing the game. * Fixed mod errors in some event handlers preventing other mods from receiving the same event. * Fixed game crashing on startup with an audio error for some players. For developers: * Improved logging to show `ReflectionTypeLoadException` details when it's caught by SMAPI. ## 1.1 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.0...1.1.1). For players: * Fixed console exiting immediately when some exceptions occur. * Fixed an error in 1.0 when mod uses `config.json` but the file doesn't exist. * Fixed critical errors being saved to a separate log file. * Fixed compatibility with some older mods.1.1.1 * Fixed race condition where some mods would sometimes crash because the game wasn't ready yet.1.1.1 For developers: * Added new logging interface: * easier to use; * supports trace logs (written to the log file, but hidden in the console by default); * messages are now listed in order; * messages now show which mod logged them; * more consistent and intuitive console color scheme. * Added optional `MinimumApiVersion` to `manifest.json`. * Added emergency interrupt feature for dangerous mods. * Fixed deprecation warnings being repeated if the mod can't be identified.1.1.1 ## 1.0 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.40.1.1-3...1.0). For players: * Added support for Linux and Mac. * Added installer to automate adding & removing SMAPI. * Added background update check on launch. * Fixed missing `steam_appid.txt` file. * Fixed some mod UIs disappearing at a non-default zoom level for some users. * Removed undocumented support for mods in AppData folder **(breaking change)**. * Removed `F2` debug mode. For mod developers: * Added deprecation warnings. * Added OS version to log. * Added zoom-adjusted mouse position to mouse-changed event arguments. * Added SMAPI code documentation. * Switched to [semantic versioning](http://semver.org). * Fixed mod versions not shown correctly in the log. * Fixed misspelled field in `manifest.json` schema. * Fixed some events getting wrong data. * Simplified log output. For SMAPI developers: * Simplified compiling from source. * Formalised release process and added automated build packaging. * Removed obsolete and unfinished code. * Internal cleanup & refactoring. ## 0.x * 0.40.1.1 (2016-09-30, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.40.0...0.40.1.1-3)) * Added support for Stardew Valley 1.1. * 0.40.0 (2016-04-05, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.39.7...0.40.0)) * Fixed an error that ocurred during minigames. * 0.39.7 (2016-04-04, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.39.6...0.39.7)) * Added 'no check' graphics events that are triggered regardless of game's if checks. * 0.39.6 (2016-04-01, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.39.5...0.39.6)) * Added game & SMAPI versions to log. * Fixed conflict in graphics tick events. * Bug fixes. * 0.39.5 (2016-03-30, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.39.4...0.39.5)) * 0.39.4 (2016-03-29, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.39.3...0.39.4)) * 0.39.3 (2016-03-28, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.39.2...0.39.3)) * 0.39.2 (2016-03-23, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.39.1...0.39.2)) * 0.39.1 (2016-03-23, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.8...0.39.1)) * 0.38.8 (2016-03-23, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.7...0.38.8)) * 0.38.7 (2016-03-23, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.6...0.38.7)) * 0.38.6 (2016-03-22, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.5...0.38.6)) * 0.38.5 (2016-03-22, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.4...0.38.5)) * 0.38.4 (2016-03-21, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.3...0.38.4)) * 0.38.3 (2016-03-21, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.2...0.38.3)) * 0.38.2 (2016-03-21, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.0...0.38.2)) * 0.38.0 (2016-03-20, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.38.1...0.38.0)) * 0.38.1 (2016-03-20, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.37.3...0.38.1)) * 0.37.3 (2016-03-08, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.37.2...0.37.3)) * 0.37.2 (2016-03-07, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.37.1...0.37.2)) * 0.37.1 (2016-03-06, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.36...0.37.1)) * 0.36 (2016-03-04, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.37...0.36)) * 0.37 (2016-03-04, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.35...0.37)) * 0.35 (2016-03-02, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.34...0.35)) * 0.34 (2016-03-02, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.33...0.34)) * 0.33 (2016-03-02, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.32...0.33)) * 0.32 (2016-03-02, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.31...0.32)) * 0.31 (2016-03-02, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/0.3...0.31)) * 0.3 (2016-03-01, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/Alpha0.2...0.3)) * 0.2 (2016-02-29, [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/Alpha0.1...Alpha0.2) * 0.1 (2016-02-28)
