A brief update on EmptyGee’s status

Another version released today, v2.5.1. You can update by restarting the application, or by clicking on the “Check for updates” option in the Help menu.

In this version, a new contributor gave us the ability to bulk import into the deck editor. This significantly increases the speed of deck creation if you’re migrating from another system. If you’ve been peaking at the code, you probably noticed that there are some other deck editor changes in the work. We’re going to totally revamp the system so it doesn’t suck anymore! The search option that was added recently is actually a piece of the new deck editor, but I thought it was useful on it’s own as well.

We fixed our first Google Code Issue – sound the alarms! No, but seriously, this is a big deal. It means that someone is actually using the application and cares enough about it to post an issue so we can fix it. Although it’s been a while since it was added, we took care of it in v2.5.1. You can now show your opponent the top cards of your library, and you can also move the top card of your library to the bottom.

What else is going on though? There has been a lot of quick posts with changelogs, but no real discussion about the application. This is because the application has turned into a completely private distribution. Congratulations to those are you playing, you’re in!

As always, here are the changelogs:

v2.5.1 – 05.29.2010

  • Merged sirchris.q’s changes to add bulk importer to the deck editor
  • Fixed [Issue 1]: Added a Show Top Cards option to the library, and a move top card to bottom menu option

v2.5.0 – 05.29.2010

  • Added a menu option to prevent automatic untapping
  • Fixed a bug with clearing the attackers if you skipped straight to end-of-turn
  • Fixed a bug where attacking would cause a creature to untap if it was already tapped
  • Added tapping options to card in the battle field: doesn’t tap to attack, or doesn’t untap normally
  • Fixed a bug in searching where it AND’ed the search checkboxes instead of OR’ed
