Build 219 (23/5/12, Senior Manager)

Online: CSAPI:

* Requests have a pointer to the owning API object. The request is used in callbacks, instead of the API object

* Request setup API has been changed to take the request object as parameter instead of the request Id. This saves a lot of lookups and locks

* Each certificate is only checked once

* Certificate check results do not share a global result variable, which didn't work with parallel requests

* Certificate errors are now included as part of the existing request result

Implemented the initial "hello" message exchange after connecting to the Dedicated Server, which authenticates the connecting client and ensures that the game won't get disconnected by the DS in 5 seconds

Online: CSAPI:

* Added missing call to CURL cleanup

* Multiple requests share DNS cache

Online: Events

* Events are processed even outside the main menu, and even if the some GUI objects do not exist.

* Fixed several problems with objects being passed as values through ...

* Removed creation of temporary copies where they weren't necessary.

Build 221 (25/5/12, Team Member+)

IMPORTANT!

Managers and Senior managers

Please note that due to an unfortunate bug in the patch installer anybody who installed patches 218, 219 or 220 this week will need to uninstall the game completely before installing patch 221 (or later).

This will mean installing the 207 base build from scratch and then applying patch 221.

Apologies for the hassle this causes.

Increased number of LODs allowed from 3 to 4

Updated processing of terrain triangle edge collision constraints, which don't satisfy the removal condition. Such constraints have primary axis adjusted to be equal with triangle (i.e. terrain surface) normal

Game manager WIP:

- Added GameManager class, responsible for creating/joining/leaving game sessions and maintaining their state + member information

- Added GameAttributes class, keeping game session attribute state (also used when creating or searching for sessions)

- Implemented low-level join, create and leave requests and response handling.

Ghost system:

* When a stat is uploaded and a ghost is not requested from the server, the ghost system will be informed about it, so that it can remove the data from memory (which it was keeping for the case it'd be needed for upload)

* Made Ghost manager's physics callback a member function.

* Recorder now remembers whether or not the recorded lap is the participant's best track or event time, so that it can later decide what to do with it

Ghost system:

* Runtime ghost format is now copyable

* Recording buffer no longer inherits from runtime recording format, instead it encapsulates it. This makes it possible to transfer ownersip of the recorded data

* Added functionality to save a recorded ghost to the local cache, replacing any previous (slower) version of the user's ghost on the same track

* Added management of in-memory ghost data, including locks that keep it in memory while other tasks need it.

Ghost system:

* Added a define that I use in development to enable unfinished features (that may not function properly yet). The define is temporary and will be removed once the ghost system is in a more complete state

Removed experimental heating and pressure

Labels added to FOV and Min/Max Speeds sliders on Camera page

Build 220 (24/5/12, Senior Manager)

Implemented game session browser:

- Create GameBrowser class which maintains and refreshes list of running game sessions

- Added game browser query functions to Online Interface

- Fixed the order in which in which online components are terminated. This fixes issue where the game could get stuck in infinite loop on exit

- Fixed bug where the CSProtocol class would not handle messages incoming after the initial HELO response correctly.

- Regenerated header+source with DS server definitions.

Added support functions for game browser testing

Fixed console compilation issue

The DSProtocol class will now remember state changes internally and notify all interested components from the main update tick

Hooked up the remaining speed sensitive FOV sliders in the camera options, so the min/max FOV (75%-115%) and min/max speeds (0-100 mph and 100-300mph) can now be tweaked (if Speed Sensitive is On). Added a workaround for the appfunc checks to avoid block nesting issues

Online: Added ghost present flags and ghost magic data to leaderboard query responses

Added logging of various networking/data issues to game manager

Updated adjustment of contact constraint orientation (preventing vehicle scooping) to correctly handle the case where constraint primary axis is perpendicular to vehicle's XZ plane

Fixed helmet cam audio so it doesn't remain on during replays or when switching to an AI car. Bug reported on WMD forum

Added on-demand reload of FFB tweaker file to F1 menu (Input/Load/Reload FFB Tweaks). Rename F1 menu option "FFB Grip Multi" to "FFB Grip Multi (Legacy)"

Ghost system:

- Added explicit initialization and cleanup calls for the object encapsulating the ghost background thread

- Implemented task queues (pending and finished) for the ghost background thread

- Ghost background thread is started on demand and stopped when it's idle for some time

- Compressor and decompressor have now a better interface for returning and/or releasing ownership of the output buffers

- Moved Entry class out of the Cache class, so that forward declaration can be used

- Moved the Cache and CacheEntry routines to more appropriate source files

- Implemented a skeleton of ghost background thread that will perform lengthy tasks like compression or decompression in the background

- Cache entries now have a list of tasks they're queued for and information about task that is in progress

- Added job queue for the ghost cache

- Deleting cache entries locked in memory will only queue them for deletion, instead of deleting them immediately.

- Ghost cache will now process certain tasks on ghost entries: load/save is implemented, upload/download and compress/decompress will be implemented later. The cache will either perform the tasks on its own, or will offload them to the background thread, as appropriate

- Added API to initiate ghost download. The cache will decide from where the ghost should be retrieved

- Cache search functions will ignore ghosts queued for deletion
