v0.11.8

[gerwaric]

This should fix the issue with data files since GGG changed the account system to include numeric discriminators.

New Features since v0.11.5

• Require the user to manually specify their account realm at login--pc, xbox, or sony. This is currently needed to link items in forum shops and addresses issue Error updating shop thread: missing 'realm' attribute #75. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to determine the realm automatically when using the POESESSID login. This could be done with OAuth, but GGG would have to approve changes to Acquisition's OAuth configuration, and I'm guessing they are busy right now. As a result, you'll have to manually set the correct realm for now.

Bug Fixes

• Reworked data filenames to use the new numeric account discriminator, addressing Prices lost when upgrading to 0.11.7 from 0.11.5 #78 (See below for details)

• Several of the legacy API calls used by POESESSID login now break when the account name is included in the request url. The fix was to remove the "accountName" parameter. This addresses issue Content Access Denied error when refreshing tabs #76. So far this appears to be the only change to either the legacy or the OAuth API.

Reminder

• I'm working a complete rewrite of Acquisition. Discussion here: A new major version (and complete rewrite) #74

A user reported losing buyouts in issue #78. This turned out to be caused by the change to account names. If you lost buyouts and want to restore them, keep reading.

Restoring Old Data Files

If you ran v0.11.7 and you lost buyouts that dissappeared, you might need to restore your data files from a backup:

• Manually copy your data directory into a backup folder.
• Manually copy the data files from an earlier version, e.g. v0.11.5 or earlier.

On Windows, the data folder and it's backups are found in C:\Users\Gerwaric\AppData\Local\Acquisition:

1. Make sure acquisiiton is closed.
2. Make a backup of the data folder.
3. Delete the files in the data folder.
4. Pick a backup folder, e.g. data_save_0..11.5 and copy the files from that folder into data
5. Restart acquisition.

Unfortunately, you'll lose any changes you've made since the backup.

What Happened

Acquistion stores it's data in SQLITE3 database files withouth an extention. The filename is a hash of the account name and the league name. I don't know what motivated this design, but when GGG changed the account names to include a numeric descriminator, that changed the hash, which meant that acquisition lost track of which files to load for which league.
