v1.3.0 - Note Improvements

[vigoren]

Notes

This update is mainly around notes and improving the experience around adding, editing and viewing them. The notable improvements/changes to notes are:

Functional Changes

• Notes can now span more than 1 day.
• Notes can now have a start and end time associated with them.
• Added a built-in Date/Time selector. This is a new input type that will show a calendar where you can choose a day, or range of days for the note a well as add a start/end time for the note.
• Notes can now be ordered on a day. By default, notes are ordered by starting time but can be adjusted for a custom order.

New Configuration Options

• Added a new setting to allow players to order notes on a day or not.
• Added the ability to specify note categories with unique labels and colors. These can be applied to a note to help distinguish different types of notes.

Visual Changes

• Refreshed the look of the note list.
  • Added an indicator to the note list for GMs if the note is visible to the players or not.
  • Added a label to the note list for the time the note takes place at.
  • Added a label to the note list for who wrote the note.
  • Any custom note categories associated with the note will also be shown.
• Changed the dialog's behaviour so that it will attempt to size itself to fit the content of the note appropriately.

Quality of Life Changes

• Added a button to the module settings list that will open Simple Calendars configuration window.
• Changed the default "Show Clock" option so that new installs will show the clock right away. The clock can still be disabled by unchecking that option.
• Changed the default for the "Game World Integration" from None to Mixed. This only affects new installs of the module.

API Changes

• Fixed a bug with the API getCurrentSeason function where the last season would always be returned.
• Additional information about the Season is returned for the api functions getCurrentSeason, getAllSeasons and timestampToDate:
  • startingMonth: The month index the season starts on.
  • startingDay: The day index of the starting month the season starts on.
• Fixed a bug with the API function timestampPlusInterval where in PF2E systems the returned value would be ahead by 1 day.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the Moerills Expandable Markdown Editor would not load properly when adding/editing notes.
• Fixed a bug where on new installs the default month and weekday names would not load correctly.
• Added a temporary "fix" to help with the weirdness that happens when running the latest version of Calendar/Weather. This "fix" will go away once Calendar/Weather has finished their integration with Simple Calendar. Some things to note about the changes:
  • Any updates to the calendar structure (changing or months, season or moons) done within the Calendar/Weather interface will now require you to go into Simple Calendars configuration and re-import the calendar to have the changes reflected there.
  • I have run tests with PF2E worlds and everything should stay in sync with that systems world clock.
  • Calendar/Weather, about-time and Simple Calendar play better together but they will be their best when Calendar/Weather has finished its rewrite to properly utilize Simple Calendars API.
• Fixed an issued with importing events from Calendar/Weather.
  • In some instances Calendar/Weather Events don't have their month saved properly, in these instances the month is set to the first month of the year.

Translations

• German Translation updates from BlueSkyBlackBird and MasterZelgadis, thanks!
