-
Version 132
- QoL: Added the 'Fast-Track' button to the colony research tab, to the right of the 'Queue Top' button. 'Fast-Track' is like 'Queue Top' except the scientist begins work on the selected technology immediately, and it is instead the project they were working on that is moved to the top of the queue. This is useful if you want an active scientist to immediately research a component you just designed without having to delete and recreate their queue.
- QoL: When a fleet is in Task Force Training and all ships have just reached 100% TF Points, training mode is stopped and an interrupting event is logged
- After releasing tractored ships, a tug fleet's current speed will be set to its original (higher) max speed

- QoL: Clicking the class, fleet, taskforce, commander, or current mothership on the Ships window will open the appropriate window with that item selected
- QoL: Hide CMC no longer hides CMC populations if they have player mines, ruins, shipyards, task forces, teams, or colonists
- QoL: Hide CMC now also hides empty colonies that are completely unused in any way other than to serve as placeholders or token governorship seats.
- QoL: F2 window: The species name will no longer be shown in the population list if it is the player's default species
- 7.2 feature added: In the Population window, the section for Automated Mining Colonies will now take into account any asteroid mining modules in orbit. (Additionally, the number of Orbital Mines, if any, will be shown)
- 7.2 feature added: added a check box to the Geological Survey Report window that allows you to filter out alien-controlled systems (based on the controlling race you specify on the Galactic Map).
-
Version 133
- Quasar4x Settings window: Added borderless window option. Added option to specify an exact position and size for the Quasar4x window that will be restored upon restarting the game. (These two options allow me to set up a "better" fullscreen mode that can span multiple monitors and leave room for my OS's task bar, using precise values that will be persistent through frequent restarts of the game)
- QoL: The following checkboxes will now preserve their state in your save file: Hide Obsolete in the Class Design window, Disable Jump to Event in the Events window, Center Map in the Fleet Orders window, and all of the location types including Show All Pops in the Fleet Orders primary tab.

- QoL: Galactic Map can be zoomed in or out with scroll wheel
- Quasar4x Settings window: Added button that will copy the current empire's settings to all other empires in the current game (requires SM password)
- Galactic Map: increased spacing of automatically positioned systems to give more room for text such as system name, distance, etc
- QoL: Galactic Map: Line Up Systems button will match spacing of auto-positioned systems when the default grid size of 4 is used
- Fixed: Galactic Map window wasn't resizable
- Fixed: Releasing a tractored ship at a population wasn't assigning the released ship to that population
- Fixed: Fleet Orders window, Manage Shipyards tab: The shipyard's assigned task group was sometimes incorrect
- Fixed: bugs that occurred when a ship was constructed but the assigned task group didn't exist or was in different location
- Fixed: Ships window: The pop displayed on the Assigned Population dropdown was sometimes incorrect
-
Version 134
- QoL: When right-clicking a jump point in the F3 window, there will be a new option to Enter/Explore JP
- Jump Tenders now allow jumps on both sides of a warp point, as in A4X
- Quasar4x Settings: the option for recording the current size and position of the program window to be later restored now functions for all in-game windows as well
- Added UI Element: Main Menu > Misc > Reload Window Positions. Updates the sizes and positions of the program window and all in-game windows to the values that were recorded for the current empire in the settings window. The shortcut for this menu item is F1. This can be useful for periodically cleaning up the the clutter of too many open windows in various locations and reverting to your original clean layout.
- Implemented UI Element: Main Menu > Misc > Reset Window Positions
- Modding: added 9 new api calls, changed 1 api call (get_jump_status). api version upped to 201107

-
Version 143
- NPR interrupts no longer turn off auto-turns

- SM Race can add colony and make updates to its atmosphere
- Fixed: F9 window: Generating a system when no system yet exists wasn't working right
- Fixed: the code that was supposed to make sure Player TN races start with at least one commercial shipyard was setting the shipyard capacity to commercial sizes but not setting its type to commercial
-
Version 144

- Fixed: I turned off galactic map graphics while troubleshooting another issue for someone and forgot to turn them back on
-
Version 151
- Rather than get stuck in a system forever, non military NPR ships will try to leave a system populated by another neutral or hostile race if they can find a safe exit
- NPR number of labs will be capped at 150% * Difficulty% * the number of the strongest player's starting labs. Normally has no effect unless you significantly decrease the # of labs the game suggests for you.
- If the player adjusts the starting tech points suggested on the Create New Game window, NPR starting tech points at the beginning of the game will be adjusted by the same amount. Raising the difficulty modifier reduces any deductions from NPR points. Lowering the difficulty modifier reduces any increase in NPR points.
- Fixed: Diplo teams weren't having any effect on their target races due to a typo.
-
Version 152
Fixed: an error when civs upgrade their designs

Version 154:
- 2 more hard to explain but important fixes
-
Version 155
- Fixed: Lagrange point orbital movement was calculating the wrong positions
- Fixed: SM Changing the position of jump points wasnt auto-refreshing the UI
-
Version 156
- Added Research Proto button to the View Technology window so Missile Engine Prototypes can be marked for research.
- Added missing feature: Payment for purchase of civilian fuel
- Added missing feature: Full civilian fuel harvesters continue to consume sorium, but also provide tax revenue

- Added a new event type 'Unrest Increasing (Total < 0.01%)' which occurs instead of the standard 'Unrest Increasing' if unrest has only increased to a total value of less than 0.01%
- Added a new event type 'Unrest Decreasing (Total < 0.01%)' which occurs instead of the standard 'Unrest Decreasing' if total unrest was < 0.01% before the decrease. If there was a standard 'Unrest Increase' event since the last time the population was at 0 unrest, then there will be at least one standard 'Unrest Decrease' when unrest returns to 0.
- Added a 'Show Sizes in Tons' checkbox to turret design window
- Added an "Any Amount" checkbox on the Fleet Orders window that appears for Refuel from Target Fleet and Resupply from Target Fleet. If this is checked the move will be considered complete (rather than failing) regardless of whether enough fuel/supplies were available to completely refill.
- The order assigned by the Default Order "Load fuel at harvester" will now be for Any Amount, rather than failing if a full refill isn't possible to do in one shot. This makes fully automated transport of fuel from harvesters to the capital or elsewhere possible by combining it with the 'Fuel tanks full --> Unload 90% Fuel at X' conditional order.
- Fixed: adding a refit/scrap/repair shipyard task would wrongly do nothing if the shipyard had no default task group selected for construction tasks
- Fixed: creating a turret prototype wasn't refreshing other UI windows
- Fixed: it was possible to research prototype turrets without researching the underlying prototype beam weapon
- Fixed: completed research would sometimes be logged twice
-
Version 158
- F3 Window: time buttons will once again stay pressed while end turn is processing
- When increments are shortened due to npr activity in systems with no player presence, time continues processing - the turn is no longer stopped prematurely. More info in the progress thread (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=10149.msg154644#msg154644)
- Settings window: added a checkbox to disable the above feature
- Added a Turn Progress window to monitor how much time has been processed so far. For now, this ONLY appears for the above feature.
- Turn Progress window includes an interrupt button to stop processing early.
- Fixed: It was possible to design a ship class with a preferred magazine loadout that exceeded the ship's magazine capacity
- Fixed: a recent update caused some prototypes to wrongly appear as future prototypes
-
Version 159
- Class Design window: Copying an obsolete class will no longer set the new class as obsolete
- Added new event types so they can be separately filtered: New Alien Ship (Friendly), New Alien Ship (Allied), New Alien Class (Friendly), New Alien Class (Allied)
- SM Mode is no longer required to remove orders with a time remaining, such as unloading cargo. Now it's just a confirmation popup, matching Aurora VB6's behavior.

- Fixed: Turn progress window was sometimes too wide
- Fixed: Fleet Orders, SM Set task group position: system menu wasn't alphabetized
- Fixed: extremely rare possibility of infinite loop in system gen

-
Version 160
- Using SM to set the Sector Command level to 0 will now delete the Sector, making it possible to found a new sector at a different population in the same system
- Fixed: Wrong formula for sector radius on the F2 window and the Sector window
- Fixed: It was possible to have duplicate sectors for a single Sector Command HQ with SM trickery. Uniqueness is now enforced in the DB.
- Fixed: Deleting a population with a Sector Command HQ wasn't deleting the sector founded at that population
- Fixed: Sector window: The displayed capital wasn't using the race-defined name for the location
- Fixed: Colony cost formula was taking the sum of the cost factors of all dangerous gasses present rather than the maximum
- Fixed: it was possible to add PDCs to fleets in flight using SM
- Fixed: Ground units in PDCs should have had 0 maintenance cost but didn't
Version 161:
- Fixed: ground units with 0 maintenance cost were wrongly losing readiness when empire is in debt
-
Version 162:
- F2 window: Added a new checkbox to the Policy tab: "Set selected population as the default destination for mass drivers in its system"
- When a population with a Sector Command HQ transfers to another race through conquest or other means, the sector commander is first unassigned and any systems belonging to that sector are removed from the sector.
- Fixed: Galaxy Map: colony cost was wrong for bodies with multiple dangerous gasses
- Fixed: Galaxy Map: changing the default race was not reloading system positions
- Fixed: system generation: moons were not being ordered by distance from parent body
-
Version 163
- Added missing feature: Combat Engineers get a 100% attack bonus versus PDCs and 100% defense bonus inside PDCs

-
Version 164
- In addition to the 10b km radius around the primary star, default geo survey orders will now also search within a 5b km radius around the fleet
- Updated dozens of floating point math operations to fix floating point issues with cargo shipping and other areas where absolute precision is required
- Fleet Orders window: PDC Components, which are 5000 tons, now only require cargo ships with 5000 tons capacity -- not 25000 -- in the fleet to appear on the list of available orders
- Fixed: F2 window Summary tab: Manned mines were showing as inactive in the wrong circumstances
-
Version 165
- Added new feature: Repair PDC
- Refitting a PDC now requires it to be repaired first
- Refitting a PDC will now make use of components in the population stockpile if available
- Refitting a PDC will now popup a confirmation box if the refit cost is expensive relative to building a new PDC
- Refit and repair progress on ships will halt while they are being combat boarded
- Refit and repair progress on PDCs will halt while they are being combat boarded or attacked by ground units
- To be consistent with commercial ships, the maintenance clock for PDCs will now always be 0 (they don't have maintenance breakdowns)
- The new crew grade in the 'ship repaired' log entry will now be rounded
- Fixed: F3 window: Civilian fleets were appearing on the right-click context menu
- Fixed: Intel window: Known systems list showed duplicates if more than one race had the intel
- Fixed: Refitting a non-PDC ship wasn't using existing components in the population stockpile
- Fixed: Creating a Refit PDC task from the UI wasn't doing anything

- A maximum amount to unload can now be specified when assigning orders to unload cargo at populations
- Fleet Orders window: The new 'No Repeat' and 'Any Amount' settings will now be preserved in Order Templates as well
- Ships (F6) window: The Range displayed in the Maintenance panel will now show how far the ship can go based on its current fuel level. It previously matched a bugged formula used by VB6.
- Galaxy map auto-positioning will now apply to games with known stars enabled
