v1.10
Installation notes
If you are running from source, the targeted version of Python is now 3.10.4, so you should update that, and all the project dependencies.
If you are running the desktop app, the settings file is now stored in different location. While the program will automatically move your current file, it would be prudent to take a backup of it first:
- Windows:
C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\vasl-templates.ini - Linux/Mac:
~/.vasl-templates.conf
If you are installing on top of an existing installation, you should delete the directory
$/data/default-template-pack/extras/kgs/.If you have configured cached images for Chapter H notes (using
VO_NOTES_IMAGE_CACHE_DIR), you should delete the folder and remove the config setting (since it now always happens, and the cached images are stored in the standard location). If you want to pre-build the cache, you can do that by openinghttp://localhost:5010/load-vo-notes-image-cachein a browser.New features

v1.6
Installation notes

PLAYER_#value from "anzac" to "british~anzac". - If you have set up Chapter H notes for the ANZAC's in Blood & Jungle, you will need to move the containing directory from
anzac/vehicles/adf-bj/tobritish/vehicles/adf-bj/. Check the placeholders ZIP file for more details.
