Release 1.77.0.130 – 1368

* Log file saved in UTF8
* Added Vehicle value & maintenance graph (WIP)
* Added catalog views:
– Catalog
– Library
– Updates
* Added check mod updates
* Added language flags to the Tag export dialog
* Added “Delete autosaves” to the Tools menu
* Added “Delete autosaves” to the Tools menu
* Added “Clear texture cache” to the Tools menu
* Added mod source links for developers.
* Fix. faulty mod format warning after registering.
* Fix. Vehicles of with the same names was filtered out in vehicle view.
* Fix. When importing tags from file, the list wasn’t marked as dirty and never got saved.
* Fix. invalid double conversion
* Fix. Empty translations got saved (should have been removed)

Note. The mod update feature is only a qualified guessing because there is no “foolproof” way to identify a specific file and its version.
TFGM is trying to find and identify each mod in the catalog based on several parameters such as file name, mod name, version etc…

The new “link” features makes it possible register a folder with mod source files. These files are automatically copied to the TF installation
when starting TF from TFGM, or if you manually install it as a mod. This will “protect” your originals from being removed by accident (when uninstalling a mod).

Release 1.80.0.139 – 1442

* Added new setting under preferences: “Mark undefined strings”
* Added scripted configuration UI to configure mods from within TFGM.
* Fix. Strings not found in strings.lua returned empty instead of default value.

The biggest news are the new scripted UI for mod configuration. No need to open Lua files and to change cryptic code… Just use the UI presented in the mod’s configuration tab.
As a mod developer, you need to create the UI script to have it integrated into TFGM.

Updated mods for with the new config UI will be released shortly.
