Transcendence Changelog

[digdug]

I made a Transcendence Changelog.
It's not complete, but it contains every changelog I could get my hands on and every announcement of new version made by George.
(to achieve that I used the forums announcements posts, archive.org, old text files I had from the old bugtracker, lists of bugs from the Ministry, other text copy/paste from Kronosaur website and documentation from the wiki)

It's 4000 lines of text, from version 0.7 to 1.6.1

Besides the fact that is a changelog for the game, it contains informations of features for modders and in which version they have been implemented. I made it primarly for me. Sometimes I need to check when a newish feature was added and how to use it for my mods. Now I just have to CTRL+F and search it instead of going through a plethora or informations scattered in various places.

I hope it might be useful to you too.

PS: It's a TXT file but I keep it in XML extension so that my syntax highlighter can pick up the game functions

the problem comes from him calling it an xml file when it isn't a xml file.

On my computer, it opens up fine in Notepad++ because I've set that application to open XML files. On other machines, it might try to open up in Internet Explorer, with unhappy results.

just do right click and "Save As..." instead of clicking on it.
As it's not a XML file, browsers get confused.

A big thanks for this! it is hugely helpful!

Glad to be helpful

just do right click and "Save As..." instead of clicking on it.

This is impossible in Windows 10/Microsoft Edge browser.

I would like to download the file, but I cannot.

[digdug]

sorry about that.
What about a zipped version ?

That works. Oddly enough, my Notepad was set to open XMLs. Must be something with my browser.

I might have forgot to say that I'm keeping this file updated at each release.

If you read this document, you might have found some functions that are not in the functionlist that we maintain:
These functions were deprecated long time ago. In addition to that, there are a few functions that I believe are typos in the original changelogs.
I don't really know where to put this kind of information, so I paste it here since it's changelog relevant only:

Code: Select all
