Changes in 3.1.19

Windows installer now suggests JRE 1.6.0_32 for Java upgrades.

The following bugs are fixed in 3.1.19:

4363: When retiring, cancelling side selection leaves side == null
4259: When retiring, 'Become observer' fails to update other players' rosters
4258: Large image masks in Non-Rectangular trait lock up the GUI
4204: Java 7 has incorrect offset for drag images

Changes in 3.1.18

Windows installer now suggests JRE 1.6.0_30 for Java upgrades.

The following bugs are fixed in 3.1.18:

4126: PieceMover.dragDropEnd() does not remove DragSourceMotionListener
4106: Send to Location to a counter using a Property Expression not working

For changes prior to 3.1.18, see the change log. For feature changes from 3.0 to 3.1, see the release notes for 3.1.0.

VASSAL has a new User's Guide! You can view the User's Guide by selecting "User's Guide" from the Help menu in any of VASSAL's components.

The recommended minimum Java version for VASSAL 3.1 has changed. A bug in versions of Java prior to 1.5.0_08 (a.k.a. Java 5 Update 8) prevents some images from loading properly. We now recommend that anyone using a version of Java older than 1.5.0_08 upgrade to at least 1.5.0_08. Furthermore, we recommend that Windows users in particular upgrade to at least Java 1.6.0_21 (a.k.a. Java 6 Update 21), in order to avoid bugs present in earlier versions of Java. Windows users installing VASSAL 3.1.19 with the Windows installer will be prompted to update Java if what they have is older than 1.6.0_32. After upgrading Java on Windows, you must restart your computer in order for Java programs to work properly.

Please report all bugs, even if they are bugs which you've already reported against other versions. We take your bug reports very seriously—they're the reason we're able to find and fix bugs.

Help us test

Should you find any problems/oddities/bugs, please tell us so that we can fix them for the next release of VASSAL. Report bugs here in the Technical Support & Bugs category at the VASSAL forums or by email.

Cheers,
The VASSAL Team

Problems with Recent News Submissions

Dr_Nostromo — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 08:03:21 -0700

I'd like to bring up a few problems that I've encountered lately while editing the news submissions.

When submitting your news article, I need to make sure I now what the module is and where it is so that is can be properly linked. Quite often submitters will say that "Little Module" has been updated but they won't tell me that "Little Module" is actually an extension of "Big Module" so I have to spend time looking for it. In fact, I currently have a news submission for Star Wars Sudden Death and I can't find it anywhere.

The second problem is improper formatting. When you create a module page, make sure to precede the name of the page with "Module:" or it will not appear in the module listing. For example "Module:Neat_Game", not just "Neat_Game". Without the "Module:" tag, us editors have to spend time making corrections which will delay the posting of your news article.

I may re-post this article from time to time as needed.
