GSF Parser v5.2.0

Release Highlight: Discord Rich Presence

Released in v5.1.1: Discord Rich Presence offers you the option to not only share that you are playing GSF, but also indicates whether you are in a match or not, what ship you are flying (only name indicated), what map you are flying in (if Match and map type screen parsing feature is enabled) and how long you have been in a match for.

Release Highlight: Power pool delay parsing

Power pools are a core mechanic in GSF. Screen parsing now includes an option to parse power pool delays, showing information about the regeneration in the overlay. An overlay with images and true cooldown indicators was considered but turned out to be too resource expensive.

Release Highlight: Pointer Parsing

Still not out of bèta, but now stable enough to actually be considered bèta. Is capable of displaying Missed and Evaded shots in the TimeView in the RealTimeFrame as well as in the EventOverlay. Results are not recorded yet.

Release Highlight: Performance profiling

Screen parsing features may cause a hit in performance. Now the GSF Parser can detect features that are consistently causing slowdowns and can automatically disable them.

• Highlight: Screen parsing feature: Power Pool Delay Parsing
• Highlight: Screen parsing feature: Pointer Parsing
• Highlight: Screen parsing feature performance profiling
• Feature: Screen parsing events in TimeView
• Feature (Linux): Implement better GtkOverlay (available as experimental overlay)
• Enhancement: Better error reporting (now handles errors before startup too)
• Enhancement: Saving indicator in SettingsFrame
• Enhancement: Shorter timeout for help Balloons in SettingsFrame (to help them getting noticed in the first place)
• Enhancement: Clear UI indication of RealTimeParser starting or stopping
• Enhancement: Finished EventOverlay implementation (now out of bèta)
• Enhancement: Created overlay positioner in settings
• Enhancement: Map and match type parsing now shows detected map in Overlay
• Optimization: Significantly reduce RealTimeParser memory usage with RealTimeDB implementation
• Optimization: Fix release of memory of RealTimeParser when not starting a new instance
• Optimization: Save event category in line dictionary
• Bugfix: #185 : Crew does not change faction in build calculator
• Bugfix: ComponentListFrames are now properly ordered
• Bugfix: Fix Unknown upgrade target: Drone with new ShipStats implementation from gsf-discord-bot

GSF Parser v5.0.0

The next major release of the GSF Parser, skipping a few steps for v4.x.x. This release introduces various new features. A non-exhaustive list can be seen below the release highlight.

Release Highlight: Discord Sharing

Discord Sharing provides the possibility to share your GSF Parser data with a Discord Bot. This includes matches going on, results of matches past, tracking server activity and more. The GSF Parser Discord Bot is currently available in only a limited amount of servers. Check out the Discord Bot to learn more about how it works and its capabilities.

Release Highlight: Pattern Parsing

Pattern parsing allows the GSF Parser to combine data from screen parsing, the build calculator and file parsing to detect patterns in gameplay and mark them on the TimeLine, including the non-evasion of a missile lock while an engine ability was available. For a full list, please consult the tooltip of the Patterns category of the TimeLine.
