• Message Panel
  • Split input related options into new settings page
  • Add options to toggle filters to commands inside auto-complete
• Network

Additional Notes:

Some larger changes have been made, and it is possible that issues have crept in as a result:

• This release contains a large update to all the gamedata (xml) help and command files to support the new auto-complete system
• This release contains a refactor to the internal face (image) encoding, touching many different code modules

This release integrates the portable settings to be part of the build, and no longer requires running portable.bat or passing command line parameters to enable the portable directory for settings storage (The client saves client and player settings to %APPDATA%\Crossfire DockWindow Client unless in portable mode). If the previous portable builds were not started using portable.bat, the client was not actually using the portable directory for settings storage. Copy (or move) the files %APPDATA%\Crossfire DockWindow Client to <PortableDir>\Data. See README.md for more information regarding Settings Location and Portable Mode.
