EDK 4.2.24.0 (YC-118-6 1.0)

Post by Salvoxia »

\o guys,

EDK 4.2.24.0 (2016-06-28)

This release updates your database to YC-118-6 1.0.

With this release the feature for displaying daily stats summaries on the front page has been completed. You can now enable it in ACP -> Front Page -> Show daily stats summary. It will then display summarize the number of kills, losses and efficiency for each day
displayed on the front page. Works best if you have the option "Combine kills and losses" enabled, otherwise it will only show kills or losses.
Please note that your theme must support displaying these stats, as well as every mod overriding that template.
I will release an update to the Highlight Capitals mod with support for this feature, as well as update all of Vecati's Themes for which I have taken over maintenance.

In other news, fetching performance for zKBFetch has been slightly improved if you have the option "skip non-verifiable kills" enabled (following the week with CREST throwing an error for kills including any party with a Fation).
Also, some ancient items that are no longer part of CCP's data export, but can still be found on real old killmails have been added to the database. Mainly these are the old Scanner Probes (Fathom, Spook, Ferret, etc) and their Blueprints. Thanks to Citricioni for bringing this up!

zkbfetch now does not verify that killmail is NPC only killmail.

Hi,

cURL error code 7 indicates a connect timeout, meaning your server could not establish a connection to where you are fetching from.
Usually that's a temporary problem if either the other side is down or there's a routing problem.

Best Regards,
