---------------------------------------------
- bugfix, + enhancement, * contrib, = RELEASE
---------------------------------------------
= 1.1 03/27/2001
= This release is specifically to allow operation with hlds 1.1.0.6+ servers.
* Merged Michael Park's update of Rod May's kkrcon code to determine currently
running map from hlds 1.1.0.6+ servers (thanks Michael!)
- Changed hlmaps.conf.distrib file to search for "Loading map" instead of
"Spawning Server" for indication of map load in 1.1.0.6+ servers.
= 1.0 10/23/2000
= I'm calling this 1.0 because it has all the features (and it looks like the
stability) of a 1.0 release. Future work will most likely be aimed at bug
fixes and small enhancements.
+ Integrated Rod May's kkrcon code to show which map is currently in play.
Also added integration with real-time stats programs like csserverstat.
The combination of these features means you can click on the map in play
and go to the real-time information for the server!
+ Clicking on the single-map screen's map image will return the user to the
main maps list.
- Remarked out the "use DBI;" lines in hlmaps.pl and hlmaps.cron to quash
the error that non-DB users were getting. If anyone knows how to properly
load DBI at runtime without warnings, please let me know. As per the
INSTALL.MySQL file, DB users will now need to unremark these two lines.
- Cleaned up some code, comments and docs.
= 0.95 09/24/2000
+ Added optional MySQL support as the storage medium for the interrim data.
This should give others the ability to write applications which will use
the data collected by hlmaps.cron. Go to it developers!
- Fixed bug where default maps/page wasn't being read (handled) correctly
from hlmaps.conf file.
- Improved resilience to mapcycle.txt files that have extra (DOS) characters
in them - thanks Ludwig Nussel for the regex!
- Fixed problem with number of pages calculation. If the number of maps div
by the maps per page equaled an even number, we'd add a blank page to the
end. Not anymore, thanks to Jon Adams!
= 0.94 08/05/2000
* Thanks to Justin Harris, Matthew McClendon and Matt Chambers for many
ideas behind this release...
- Fixed a bug where the number of maps displayed was 1 less than the number
specified (i.e. 9 instead of 10).
- Set default values for many variables in case they're not specified in the
.conf file. This can happen when a user forgets to update their .conf
after upgrading HLmaps and there are additional variables.
- Script was only reading the name of the first game session listed in each
log file when determining map popularity. Now it should pick up multiple
map loads within a log file. - thanks Matthew McClendon!
+ HLmaps now uses a cron script to gather information from the log files,
mapcycle, map directory, download directory and txt files. This is to
greatly improve the run-time performance of HLmaps (many servers had over
10 meg of logs to parse for each web hit!) and to make it easier for the
future addition of MySQL support. See the INSTALL file for details.
+ Now printing nav bar below the map table in addition to the one above.
+ Added {A} for ascending and {D} for descending sort order indication.
+ You can now specify a "no maps available" image in place of the text
message using a hlmaps.conf variable. This can be used to force all the
columns to be the same height.
+ Added variable in .conf for built-in maps (these are ones which don't have
external .bsp files - they're integrated into the mod)
+ Added a separate single-map view with the map.txt file, download link,
image, stats, etc. This now serves as the jump-off point for downloads
instead of direct links from the main results table.
+ Added drop-down widget to let user change number of maps displayed/page.
+ Added documentation to the .conf file to make it clearer.
= 0.93 07/25/2000
* Thanks to Martin Hömberg for many ideas behind this release...
+ Confirmed NT portability - admins will just have to remove the "-T" on the
script's "shebang" line to make it work under ActiveState Perl. Martin
gets big kudos for testing and offering solutions for this.
+ Internationalized HLmaps output - use the .conf file to make it print the
output in your language.
+ Map image now links to the download package if one exists.
+ Added .conf option for different download extension in case you make your
maps downloads available in .arj, .arc, .gz, etc.
+ Added color to table header row to indicate current sort order.
+ Added indication of what position a map is in the mapcycle.
+ Added ability to specify number of maps per page displayed, as well as the
paging navigation bar. This should be great for servers with tons of
maps and 56k modem clients who don't want to wait for pages to load.
= 0.92 07/22/2000
- Fixed problem where a DOS-edited mapcycle with carriage returns would
prevent HLmaps from understanding it correctly. Should work fine now.
- Now only using Perl-internal dir and file access functions instead of the
kludgy "ls" that I was using. Should make porting to NT easier.
+ HLmaps now uses a separate /etc/hlmaps.conf file for more flexible editing
of preferences and easier script upgrades. Note that users running mult-
iple instances of HLmaps on the same system will want to edit the script's
$CONF_FILE variables to point to seperate hlmaps.conf files.
+ The INSTALL file was updated with the new procedures now that we have a
separate hlmaps.conf file.
+ User can now sort by map modification date/time.
+ Imported project into SourceForge's CVS repository.
+ Again tested OK with Apache/mod_perl's "PerlRun" compatability mode.
This is now part of my standard testing procedures and is probably as far
as I'll ever get to true mod_perl unless someone want to help.
= 0.91 07/21/2000
- Fixed problem where cat | grep could only handle up to 1500 line files
by using Perl internal file access -- Glen Muras.
+ Tested OK with Apache/mod_perl's "PerlRun" compatability mode.
= 0.90 07/20/2000 -- Scott (smccrory@users.syshealth.net)
First public release.
