Release information

IMPORTANT NOTE!

The list of units detected by Warcab version 0.6.1 and older can be different
from the list of units detected by this version of Warcab. This means in fact
that the dossier files created by version 0.6.1 and older are no longer
compatible with and cannot be loaded by this release.

This releases adds the following new features:

• New feature - winSPMBT support
  War Cabinet now has full support for winSPMBT campaigns and battles:
  + new winSPMBT weapon types and classes
  + new winSPMBT unit types and classes
  + new winSPMBT unit movment classes
  + new winSPMBT EW unit attribute
  + new winSPMBT nations, flags and history

• New feature - Added support for editing the battle location
  It is now possible to edit the location of the battle in the dossier, for
  example to make the dossier more historically accurate.

This release adds the following improvements:

• Improvement - preferences look and feel
  The preferences dialog box now uses a clearer game config layout and red
  highlighting feedback, to provide better guidance for the correct filling
  out of these configuration items. It is also no longer possible to create a
  new dossier with incomplete or missing game config(s)

• Improvement - sanitized GuiDossier treeview behavior
  The GuiDossier TreeView's behavior on the left side of the application
  window has been sanitized, it is now much less erratic and more in line with
  what is expected of this kind of GUI interface element.

• Improvement - reduced memory usage
  Instead of keeping an individual copy of the battle map for each turn in the
  dossier, War Cabinet now keeps only a single copy of the battle map for each
  battle. (after all, the battle map does not change during the course of the
  battle) For dossiers with many (or all) turns recorded for each battle, this
  results in a significant reduction of the memory usage by the application,
  as well as providings a strong reduction of the size of the dossier fiels

• Improvement - reduced stratmap rendering time
  By reusing the single battle map for each turn, the stratmap can now avoid
  re-rendering the battle map when it is not changed (i.e. when rendering a
  different turn from the same battle)

• Improvement - Improved savegame list filtering
  When adding new savegames, the savegame list in the dialog box filters all
  savegames which have already been added to the dossier, to make it easier to
  select the new savegames from the list. This filtering was not 100% correct,
  sometimes causing it to incorrectly hide savegames which were not yet added
  to the dossier.

• Improvement - Improved dossier Load/Save/SaveAs progress bars
  The dossier Load/Save/SaveAs progress bars now also reflect the
  Loading/Saving of the different battles in the dossier, providing a more
  gradual progression of the progress bar, instead of a single big jump after
  a long waiting time.

This release has the following fixes:

• Fix - fixed crash after deletion of last battle or turn
  Dossier corruption due to forgotten reset of tfirst/tlast when deleting last
  battle/turn.

• Fix - fixed dossier corruption after deletion of any battle
  Dossier corruption due to incomplete UHT cleaning.

• Fix - Fixed unit readiness calculation for explosives
  For units without headcount (like explosives) the unit readiness calculation
  was incorrect.

• Fix - Fixed incorrect formation detection for winSPWW2 and winSPMBT

• Fix - Fixed crash highlighting decommissioned units in the unit history

• Fix - fixed some memory leaks

Release 0.8.2

Welcome to the SPWaW war cabinet, release 0.8.2.

Copyright (C) 2005-2021 Erik Cumps [email protected]

Release information

IMPORTANT NOTE!

The list of units detected by Warcab version 0.6.1 and older can be different
from the list of units detected by this version of Warcab. This means in fact
that the dossier files created by version 0.6.1 and older are no longer
compatible with and cannot be loaded by this release.

This releases adds the following new features:

• New feature - SP:WaW Mega Campaign support
  It is now possible to track Mega Campaign savegames. Adding a Mega
  Campaign savegame to a new, empty, dossier will allow War Cabinet to
  track this file and the savegame will be automatically added to the
  dossier whenever it changes.
  + Note: for this tracking to be effective, War Cabinet needs to be
  running in the background while playing the Mega Campaign
  + Note: due to the nature of Mega Campaign gameplay, War Cabinet
  does not allow battle and/or turn deletions from a Mega Campaign
  dossier.

• New feature - read-only mode
  War Cabinet tracks the original savegame folder used with a dossier.
  When a dossier is loaded for which the original savegame folder can no
  longer be found, the dossier will be opened in read-only mode and it
  will not be possible to make any additions or deletions to it.

This release adds the following improvements:

• Improvement - simplified game configuration
  The game configuration in the preferences has been simplified. Only the
  game folder must be configured, it is no longer necessary to configure
  both the OOB and the savegames folders separately.

• Improvement - improved game configuration
  The game configuration in the preferences has been improved. War Cabinet
  now supports up to four different game configurations, each consisting
  of a game type and a game folder. The configurations also have a name
  for easier reference in the New dossier dialog box. Previously, War
  Cabinet only supported a single game configuration for an SP:WaW game
  and a single game configuration for a winSPWW2 game.

• Improvement - require dossier file overwrite confirmation
  If you use the same name as an existing dossier file while saving a
  dossier, you will be prompted to confirm overwriting the existing
  dossier.

This release has the following fixes:

• Fix - incorrect winSPWW2 battle losses reporting
  The campaign and battle losses recorded in the winSPWW2 savegame were
  incorrectly decoded.

• Fix - fixed some crashes and memory corruptions/leaks

• Support for multiple game types: (currently SP:WaW and winSPWW2)

  • date-specific OOB nation info and flags
  • map hex connection and tramlines detection
  • map hex height range expanded and unified
  • unified unit and formation types
  • (SP:WaW) formations can contain core units as well as support units
  • (winSPWW2) month-only battle/turn dates
  • (winSPWW2) Disabled time-based axis for dossier graphs.

• Unit History Tracking:
  The entire history of units in a campaign is now tracked. This includes
  additional units commissioned after the start of the campaign, units
  decomissioned before the end of the campaign and units cross-attached to
  different formations during the campaign.

• Full campaign history preference:
  This preference enables full campaign history, which also shows data for
  decommissioned units on the following Dossier tabs: Overview, Status,
  Progress, Kills, Losses, Roster and History.

• Full, limited and None intel mode:
  Three intel modes are available (full, limited and none) to select the
  amount of information about the opponent forces that should be available.

  • Full: all information is available
  • Limited: limited information is available:
    • The opponent's OOB is available, but the battle status is not.
    • The stratmap shows the uncertainty of the frontline.
    • Only destroyed, abandoned or spotted opponent units are indicated.
  • None: no information is available:
    • Victory hex ownership by the opponent is not available.
    • The opponent's OOB is not available.
    • The opponent's unit history is not available.
    • The stratmap shows the uncertainty of the contested map.
    • Only destroyed, abandoned or spotted opponent units are indicated.

• Additional height color fields for stratmap:
  To liven up the stratmap a bit, additional height color fields are provided:

  • grey: the original greyish colors.
  • topographic: washed out colors, derived from topographic maps
  • terrain: washed out colors, based on the map terrain type

• Campaign battle results:
  The results of a campaign battle (Decisive Victory, Marginal Victory, Drawn
  Battle, Marginal Defeat, Decisive Defeat) are now recorded and reported.
  Note: they are not reported for older dossiers (when battle results were not
  yet recorded).

• Local and global preferences:
  Warcab preferences can now be stored globally (in the registry), or locally
  (in a warcab.ini file).

• XML reporting:
  The spwreport tool now also supports reporting savegame information using
  the XML file format.

This release adds the following improvements:

• Much improved unit detection for SP:WaW:
  Based on information learned from winSPWW2, the SP:WaW unit detection has
  been much improved, significantly reducing the risk of misdetection.

• Initial support for unit designations
  Although unit names are initialized by the games to reflect the unit
  equipment name, these names are actually unit designations which can change
  during the course of a battle and/or a campaign. Initial support for these
  unit designations has been added.

• Changed unit 'radio' status to 'contact' status:
  The old unit radio status is now reported as a unit contact status (No
  Contact, Radio Contact, Direct Contact)

• Updated loaded unit position recording:
  For the position of a loaded unit, the position of the loading unit is
  recorded.

• Victory hex statistics reporting:
  The occupation status of the victory hexes is now reported for each battle
  turn.

• Only show the force progress tab when relevant:
  The tab is only shown for the player core force during a campaign.

• Only show the support force tab when relevant:
  The tab is not shown when there is no support force present.

• Only report battle losses/force turn status when relevant:
  These are now only reported for the final (score) turns of campaign battles.

• Many small overall improvements for all reports.

• Campaign battle index:
  The campaign battle index tracks the position of the battle in the campaign,
  compared to other battles. It is used to distinguish and sort the different
  battles of a campaign, replacing the date-based mechanism which did no
  longer function with month-only dates.

• Improved savegame unpacked data handling:
  When the size of the savegame section is not fixed (or unknown), buffers are
  auto-allocated to load the uncompressed section data in.

• Some cosmetic improvements.

• Better separation of Debug and Release deliverables:
  This allows deploying both in same target directory.

This release has the following fixes:

• Fixed issue #7:
  MMAS bad min/max unit reporting

• Dossier/snapshot saving:
  Don't destroy existing file if saving fails.

• Not setting dossier info:
  The dossier info was not saved in the dossier file and was lost after
  loading the dossier file.

• Graph horizontal axis label redraw problem:
  When moving from battle to battle, the orizontal axis labels where not
  regenerated when the number of items on the axis did not change between
  battles.

• Terrain height mapping and water hex detection:
  Some hexes were incorrectly detected to be below 0 meter or to contain
  water.

• Column (re)sorting bug
  Do not (re)sort if no column is selected for sorting.

• ModelHistory data bug
  Fixed bug causing ModelHistory to incorrectly keep using data from previous
  dossier when no data is available for the current dossier. (e.g. when the
  old dossier contained support forces but the new dossier does not)

• Fixed crashes and memory corruptions/leaks

• Updated documentation:
  + added SP:WaW and winSPWW2 OOB file format documentation
  + updated SP:WaW save file sections format documentation
  + added winSPWW2 save file sections format documentation

Release information

IMPORTANT NOTE!

With the improved unit detection fix for issue #4, the list of units detected by
Warcab version 0.6.1 and older can be different from the list of units detected

version 0.6.1 and older are no longer compatible with and cannot be loaded by
this release.

This releases adds the following new feature:

• Standalone battle dossiers:
  Warcab now also supports recording and tracking turns from standalone
  battles from scenarios.

This release adds the following improvements:

• Per-battle OOB data support:
  It is now possible to track campaigns even when the OOB data changes, for
  example when SPWaW is updated. Instead of tracking a single OOB data set for
  the entire campaign (and getting an error when trying to add savegames using
  a newer OOB), Warcab now tracks an OOB data set for each battle separately.

• Attempts to load/add all selected savegames:
  When loading/adding multiple savegames, Warcab will now attempt to process
  all savegames, instead of stopping when it encounters a savegame with an
  error.

This release has the following fixes:

• Unit/formation detection improvements:
  The support for scenario-based savegames required many improvements to the
  detection of units, formations, unit types, abandonment status and force
  leader.

• Unprintable characters in savegame comment:
  Unprintable characters in savegame comments are no longer shown.

• Empty battle location in savegame:
  Empty battle locations in savegames are now called "unknown location".

• Other:
  Some dialog box improvements and some new icons.

Release information

IMPORTANT NOTE!

With the improved unit detection fix for issue #4, the list of units detected by
Warcab version 0.6.1 and older can be different from the list of units detected
by this version of Warcab. This means in fact that the dossier files created by
version 0.6.1 and older are no longer compatible with and they cannot be loaded

This release fixes the following issues:

• Fixed issue #3:
  A regression caused battle and turn losses to not be reported.

• Fixed issue #4:
  The unit detection was not completely accurate.

• Fixed issue #5:
  The SPWAW2016 solitaire autosave savegame could not be processed

This releases adds the following new features:

• Saving stratmap images:
  In recognition of the support by Major Mess in fixing issues #4 and #5, I've
  decided to add a new stratmap image saving feature. This adds a button to
  the stratmap GUI that allows saving an image of the current stratmap. The
  PNG image is saved in the Warcab saves folder. Thanks to this feature it is
  no longer necessary for the Major to perform an elaborate screenshot-cut-
  paste dance just to get the stratmap in a single image file :)
