---------------------

• Updated version to 5.0.0.4

• Added GuildShell to track the list of guild members.

NOTE: ShowEQ now requires Qt 3.1 or higher.

NOTE: You must use eqstr_us.txt for formatted strings (instead of eqstr_en.txt).

NOTE: You must use spells_us.txt for spell information (instead of spells_en.txt).

NOTE: Don't forget to do a 'make -f Makefile.dist', 'configure', 'make', and last but definitely not least 'make install'.

This release has been tested to compile and run on stock RedHat 9, Fedora Core 1, and Gentoo 1.4.


ShowEQ 5 Beta 4 is should be available on the CVS pserver and the ViewCVS server in the pre_5_0_beta branch within the next few hours. To retrieve the latest beta from CVS use the following command:

$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq
$ cvs login
$ cvs co -r pre_5_0_beta showeq

Those who already installed the ShowEQ 5.0.0.3 Beta 3 tarball or retrieved it from CVS should be able to do a CVS update in their showeq directory using the following commands:

$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq
$ cvs login
$ cvs update

Because so many of you like them... I've created a tarball for this release. The ShowEQ 5.0.0.4 tarball contains all of the latest changes and may be found here in the ShowEQ Files section.


I've also attached to this post all of BlueAdept's filter files updated to ShowEQ 5 XML format. It contains all the filters from the filters102303.tar.bz2 file on his site converted using the latest filter2xml.pl script. This fixes various things that weren't handled well with the previous version of the script.

Enjoy,
Zaphod (dohpaZ)
