Release 9.240

New Features

Architecture and Infrastructure

• A new warning message is now displayed if the Electron application is not a version which meets the current generational standard. (6361)
• Failed DocumentData instance construction resulting from use of a non-object (like a string or number) now logs an error and falls back to default values. This allows Document construction to continue if no other fatal validation errors occur. (6408)
• HTML <object> tags have been whitelisted for rich text HTML fields. (6378)

Interface and Applications

• The keybindings for Macro Hotbar slots are now able to be bound individually. (6397)
• Attempting to deal cards if no hands or piles are available to receive them now provides a clearer warning that suggests a path to resolve the issue. (6446)
• Attempting to click on a scene while the canvas is disabled now raises a notification reminding users to enable the canvas before trying to switch scenes. (6440)

API Improvements

Interface and Applications

• ChatMessage#_renderRollContent from ChatMessage#getData has been refactored and now allows for more targetted overrides of how Dice rolls are rendered and embedded within the context of ChatMessage documents. (6420)
• Keybindings can now contain . within the defined action data. (6402)

Documents and Data

• Scene#createThumbnail now provides new customization options for format and quality in addition to the default image/png encoding. (6376)

Documentation Improvements

• The return type of Cards#shuffle has been updated. (6367)
• UserData#password and UserData#passwordSalt have been suppressed and will no longer appear within the API Documentation. (6382)

Localization Improvements

• A new hook event i18nInit has been added. This hook occurs once localization is initialized and ready to use, but before other parts of the core UI are rendered. (6419)
• Hints for keybindings should now be properly localized. (6366)
• The Draw Cards window text has been updated with text specific to drawing cards rather than the previous text lifted from the Deal dialog. (6445)

Bug Fixes

Architecture and Infrastructure

• Packages which have their details updated through the administration interface should once again provide that information to package update and installation workflows. (6360)
• Updating player permissions from the context menu of an Actor folder should once again function as expected. (6409)
• Updating world.json manifest files should no longer lead to race conditions. (6413)

Documents and Data

• A number of issues related to actor data (such as folder, permissions, and token prototype data) being overwritten during import from compendium packs or JSON data have been resolved. (6395, 6424)

The Game Canvas

• Panning the canvas while placing walls no longer results in a thrown error. (6248)
• Token scrolling status text now appears based on the token grid dimensions rather than the Token bounding box. (6377)
• Rendering order of the losCache container has been adjusted and should no longer be one frame behind. (6398)
• Limited angle vision should now correctly factor cases of overlapping wall intersections. (6414)
• Grid configuration should no longer fail if a measured template has already been placed on the scene being configured. (6425)
• Wall creation should no longer incorrectly chain using a starting point from previously placed node rather than the most recently completed one. (6450)
• Scenes with background offset should no longer cause issues with canvas centering, thumbnail generation, or weather particle positions. (6441)
• Combats linked to different scenes should now function as expected when No Canvas Mode has been enabled. (6458)
• No Canvas Mode should now correctly display which scene is active. (6457)

Interface and Applications

• The position of setup menu buttons should no longer be pushed outside of the menu boundaries. (6358)
• Ambient Sounds should once again be Constrained by Walls only in cases where that option has been toggled on. (6363)
• Configuration sheets (such as User, Folder, and Drawing) should now correctly append their UUID to their html #id, and no longer prevent multiple sheets of the same type from being opened. (6379)
• downKeys has been expanded and should no longer cause complications with workflows when returning to the application after loss of application focus. (6392)
• Ctrl+A should once again select all walls and other expected canvas placeables. (6400)

• The state of dice roll tooltips (expanded or collapsed) within chat messages is now stored in a persistent manner, and will remain in the same visible state when chat messages are re-rendered. (6410)
• Rolling initiative for a combatant with no active scenes should now function as expected. (6432)
• Clicking the empty canvas now properly releases Controlled Walls when Left-Click to Release Objects is enabled. (6436)

Cards and Dice

• When reconstructing a serialized dice PoolTerm, the component Roll instances of that pool are now reconstructed from their original Roll subclass. (6388)
• The Roll.fromTerms factory method no longer constructs a roll of the default instance type, and instead uses the instance of whichever Roll subclass was called. (6418)
• rollMode now correctly defaults to CONST.DICE_ROLL_MODES.PUBLIC instead of the previously defined roll value. (6429)
• After moving a card from one deck to another, resetting the parent deck should now correctly recall the card to its origin. (6356)
• Card Decks should now correctly display their shuffled state following a refresh. (6437)
