I look forward to meeting anyone there!

So, if running the cutting edge builds of EveHQ which might have some (more) rough edges sound like your thing, the v2.12 beta build can be downloaded from http://evehq.net/beta/evehq-beta-setup.exe. There is also a “debug” build available from http://evehq.net/beta/evehq-beta-debug-setup.exe, which contains full symbols and tracing data. The debug build is handy for me if you run into a problem since the error message data will have more information in it, however the assemblies by nature will be less optimized than the release build and therefore potentially slower.

So take your pick, as running either and posting feedback on the forums or issue tracker will be super helpful.

Summary of Changes:

- The Market data system has undergone a massive overhaul. XML digest files are no longer downloaded from battleclinic, but instead utilize EVE-Central’s market data services for retrieving “near” up to date data as needed.
- The price data download/update screen has been replaced with a market order screen, allowing for the ad hoc querying of an item’s market orders (scoped to the system or regions specified in market settings).
- Price groups have been removed (as they don’t fit with the new way data is retrieved).
- Price & Market options have been moved to the primary Eve Settings screen.
- Market log export watcher and uploader have been retired, and replaced with an Eve cache parser. This processor will monitor your Eve cache  and parse new market data in real time, uploading it to EVE-Central and EMDR (Eve Market Data Relay). Note: The real time parser and uploader are disabled by default currently, but can be turned on in the Market Data Settings screen.
- New Installer software! Note: It should uninstall the old MSI just fine if you have 2.11.X installed, however the reverse is not true. So if you decide later to go back to 2.11.7, you need to make sure to manually uninstall 2.12
- Various bug fixes discovered since 2.11.7 

Update #1: An upgrade bug due to item data caches not being rebuilt has been fixed, as well as a bug in the installer that wasn’t detecting previous 2.11.7 installs correctly. If you have these issues, please just re-install using the links in this post.

Update #2: The market ticker start up bug has been fixed. Note: The market ticker will for now just be displaying mineral data, as the previous version queried random item prices and that wouldn’t be a good practice to continue against remote data providers like eve-central. The ability to customize what items are shown in the ticker will be added soon.

Update #3:

• A serious localization bug has been fixed that would cause some installations running on a non-English configured system to display very inflated pricing. If your natural number format used ‘.’ for thousand separators and ‘,’ for decimals, this would affect you.
• Market caching is know done in a Raven Document DB, instead of scattered files on disk.
• The market data system is now aware of the proxy server configuration, and prior to this might have been the cause of various lockups and unresponsive behaviour.
• Market Price data is loaded asynchronously for HQF and most of the Prism Plugin now… display UI for the ship fitter and asset list may display initially without price data and then it will show up once the data is retrieved. This should help prevent freezing on machines that have a higher latency to the market data provider.

EveHQ should have a patch release tomorrow with the Retribution 1.1 data update as well as some bug fixes. Testing and checks are being done now on the code base, so after I get home from work tomorrow evening I should be able to publish the update.

The market system overhaul and bigger items still need some more testing and optimizations, so they will not be in tomorrow’s patch release.

Update: I ran into a data related bug just as I was about to publish the update. I’ve got it fixed, but I am going to hold the update until tomorrow (Feb 20th), because it is getting late here and I want to double check a few more items beforehand.

The funds donated go to cover expenses I normally pay out of pocket, such as hosting costs and 3rd party software licenses. I’ve also started supplying the major contributor developers with a PLEX each month to do with as they please for their contributions and time.

This is an amazing surprise to close out 2012 for me. I wish you all the best for the new year!

THANK YOU!

The errors in question should look like these :

The cause is that some names and relationships have changed, as well as there being some irregularities in the CCP data (there are some market groups data errors in their published data).

If you get these errors when you load EveHQ after you’ve upgraded, the work around is simple.

1. On the Core tab of EveHQ there 3 buttons for cache management, click the Rebuild Cache button.
   
2. Once that rebuild is complete, exit EveHQ.
3. Restart EveHQ and the HQF and Prism plugins should re-initialize properly.

Hopefully that corrects your installation back to expected working order.

On top of all this, the CCP data that was exported for Retribution has some serious bugs relating to market groups of items (eve-o forums). This will manifest itself in the HQF plug in as market groups in the navigation tree that are missing sub-branches or items, or no results when you right click on a fitted module and select “Show Market Group” from the menu (there are reports of errors on this action too). I’ve tried to fix some of the data holes, but there are quite a few and I am hoping CCP issues another data export file soon instead. A data base update will be published as soon as CCP issues a new file.

Searching for modules by name still work, so you can get around the lack of market groups by using the text input.
