Release Notes Version 0.4.0
This is the first Beta Release of the Fantasy Football Client for public testing.
* You need Java 5 (1.5) or 6 (1.6) installed on your machine, with Java Web Start integrated in your browser (this is usually automatic upon installation of Java). For Windows and Linux users the latest version (currently 1.6.0_18) is best. For Mac users the Java 1.5 release is more stable.
* Fantasy Football will start with a single click on the Play Link, it downloads once and starts from the cache after that. It is automatically updated if there are any changes, there is no need to install anything.
* The Fantasy Football Server fully integrates with Fumbbl for User authentication (so have your Fumbbl password ready), downloading of Teams and Rosters, showing games on the Games page and uploading Results upon finishing the game (so your team may actually improve).
* Games are persisted into the FFB server database, so you may drop out and rejoin at will (even to the point of both players continuing the game some other day). In the case of a server crash (which of course may happen - this is a Beta after all) the last unfinished turn may be lost, however, but no more.
* No inducements yet, with the exception of Bribes earned via the "Get the Ref" Kickoff Result.
* All Kickoff Results and Weather effects built in.
All LRB6 teams are available for playing, but there are some limitations:
- Some teams don't have player icons for all players yet (especially the new types). Default player portraits are missing in general (see Christer's call for help), you can uplaod your own though.
- GOBLIN teams will have to do without most of their special players, as the necessary skills (Ball and Chain, Bombardier and Chainsaw) are not implemented yet (see implemented skills).
- VAMPIRE teams are missing what makes them special (no Blood Lust, no Hypnotic Gaze) as well.
- UNDERWORLD and CHAOS PACT are a bit more powerful, as the Animosity skill is not implemented yet.
- NURGLE Rotters don't decay and the team gains no free Rotters via Nurgle's Rot.
- UNDEAD and NECROMANTIC coaches can't Raise the Dead yet.

Release Notes Version 0.4.4
A server crash situation (too long player names), a game freeze (using bribes) and touchdowns counting twice made an immediate update necessary.
I'm sorry that in the course of that I had to purge the database. That means that replays prior to this release are lost (or will point to a wrong game). I really try to avoid that, but this is a beta still so I need that possibility at times.
Bugs fixed:
18035 Client freeze on foul / cant use bribe on foul
18130 Game crashes on High Kick
18208 Piling on
18209 Can Drag Reserve onto the field in own turn.
18211 One TD counts for two
18212 No Catch-roll after high-kick
18216 Didnt roll for catch after failed pass scatter.
18217 Disconnection after coin flip
18229 No Mighty Blow when RR:ing injury with Piling On |

Release Notes Version 0.4.6
Oops, I did it again. Several changes to the model data structure made some database changes necessary. So I had to create the tables anew and all replays and settings saved prior to this release are lost. Sorry for that.
Please take some time to verify those fixes below, especially if it was you who found the bug in the first place. I cannot close bug threads unless someone can verify that the bug is indeed fixed. Thank you!
Improvements:
* Pitch markings measuring the touchdown distance from the line of scrimmage to the endzone.
These can be shown or hidden via User Settings->Pitch Markings->Pitch Markings on/off
* Team logos shown on the pitch. If you have customized your team with a logo it is shown on your side of the pitch.
This can be configured via User Settings->Team Logos.
* Automoves and ball bounces are slowed down by 200ms to follow them more easily on the pitch and make the sounds more distinct (no "machine gun fire" anymore).
Bugs fixed:
18018 Big Guy acting twice in the same turn
18059 Failed Jump Up Block Leaves Blocker Standing
18101 Biltz, Timelimit, Under the Ball
18143 Crowdsurfed player doesn't show up in the reserve
18165 Mleft + Mright = bugged players
18171 Tackle Zones Not Affecting Fouls
18291 Thick skull not working
18298 No SPP for Casualties
18301 Crowdpush Not Placing Player in Reserves
18302 Can't End Player's Turn After a Blitz.
18303 Can't GFI on a Blitz to Block
18309 CAS not awarded to player on an apothed block.
18318 Freezing after using Apothecary
18319 Apo re-roll crashed client
18329 Prone player catches ball on kickoff
18331 Jump-up fail prevents rest of team from blocking
18332 couldn't end turn after blitz + some strangeness
18337 Riot puts the injury descriptions out by a turn
18340 TTM troll eats ball as well as player
18341 Crowdsurf gave SPP - or not.
18342 Armour rolls are made after a crowd push
18345 Frenzy over ball causes pick-up instead scatter
18353 Not able to foul on a blitz kick off result |

Release Notes Version 0.5.0
I'm sorry that several changes to the model data structure have made some database changes necessary again. So I had to create the tables anew and all replays and settings saved prior to this release are lost.
Please take some time to verify those fixes below, especially if it was you who found the bug in the first place. I cannot close bug threads unless someone can verify that the bug is indeed fixed. Thank you!
Improvements:
* Inducement phase: Bribes, Bloodweiser Babes, Extra Team Training, Halfling Master Chef and Wandering Apothecaries are available. Igor and Wizard are still missing. StarPlayers are next in the pipeline. No Petty Cash transfer yet, so inducements will be based solely on the difference in team value. A "buy inducements" dialog will appear after you've agreed to start the game if team values differ by 50k or more (the price of the cheapest inducement as per the rules).
* Sound synchronization: sounds are played in full according to their length. So automove delay is according to sound length (the length of the Step sound is 118ms).
* Some missing sounds added (click, throw).
* Player deselection works the same now for all player states (standing up, moving etc.). As long as the player has not changed his square or rolled any dice you can take back the action by clicking on him and/or select "Deselect Player".
Known limitations:
* Bribes don't work properly for Secret weapons yet.
Bugs fixed:
18035 Client freeze on foul / cant use bribe on foul
18043 Blitz and Dump Off freeze the game
18144 Tentacles, Ball Disappearance + Mystery Reappearance
18191 Can't select push back square after Dump Off
18236 Stunty Injury Issue
18246 Block and Dump Off frezes game
18303 Can't GFI on a Blitz to Block
18360 Tentacles bug
18361 Take Root Ignored
18362 Ball disappears after failed tents dodge
18371 Unable to move players in Quick Snap
18380 Latency and automove
18367 Apoth Result Not Kept for SI
18404 Cannot cancel Blitz action when player starts prone.
18410 Thick skull skill not recognising injury modifier
18417 Reroll take root
18418 Thick skull not triggered when rolling 7 + 1 from MB
18427 Heat exhaustion is rolled for all players
18437 No turnover when ball lost on own turn due to Wrestle. |

Release Notes Version 0.5.2
I'm sorry that once more changes to the database made it necessary to create the tables anew and all replays and settings saved prior to this release are lost.
Improvements:
* Star Players are available for Inducement.
* New Game Startup sequence includes choosing Journeymen and showing how that effects your Team Value. Buying inducements comes right after that dialog.
* Throw-Team-Mate sequence has changed to picking up the thrown player first and placing the range ruler second.
* New skills implemented are: STRIP BALL, LEADER (thanks to Hangar18) and CHAINSAW.
* Secret Weapons being banned may use Bribes now to try to remain in the game
Known Limitations:
* Star Players may take your team above 16 players.
* Apothecary may be used on Star Players.
* Both teams may hire the same Star Player.
* Star Player Brick Far'th does not bring Grotty along (they should come as a package).
* Christer still needs to add Journeymen to the post-game-phase, so you don't get to keep them yet.
Bugs fixed:
18033 Heat Exhausted players stay out after touchdown
18508 Super Mario TTM
18611 -3 stats decrese
18613 Wandering Apoth bought by a Nurgle Team |

Release Notes Version 0.5.6
Yet another bugfix release. This one without a database purge. I try to get rid of game (and fun) breaking bugs first, especially those that freeze the client in any way.
Improvements:
* Automove handled by server instead of client -> less latency -> faster automove.
* Kick skill can now be correctly used AFTER the kickoff scatter has been rolled.
* Blood Lust Result Reporting improved (who is bitten by whom and who gets sent off)
* There is a Hypnotic Gaze Recovery and Confusion Recovery option for players not wanting to move.
* Added 5 new in-game sounds.
Bugs fixed:
#19 Break tackle not applied to rerolled dodge.
#35 Game freeze on rerolled TTM Fumbbl
#57 Can't reroll take root or stand up rolls
#61 Bloodlust: after knocking out opponent, thrall isn't bitten
#67 Failed Always Hungry after Successful Re-Roll Freezes Game
#74 No Injury Roll when biting a trall due to Blood Lust
#75 No possible stand up and use Hypno gaze
#76 Use of Hypnotic gaze during blitz action
#79 Failed Blood Lust + Failed Dodge = Turn Over but vampire doesn't get out the pitch
#80 TTM: move stunty, throw stunty, move stunty
#81 No spp from healed players
#82 Pushing players in the endzone cause an inverted kickoff
#86 Hypnotic gazed player couldnt remove it by using move action zero steps |

Release Notes Version 0.5.7
Introducing the test mode made some changes to the model necessary, resulting in yet another database purge.
Test Mode:
* Enter test mode by using a game name that starts with the prefix "test:".
* In test mode there is no result uploading and the game does not appear on the games page.
* In test mode you can login twice (that is play against yourself), the only restriction being that you can't play a team against itself (so you need 2 different teams).
* In test mode team ownership is not checked. This way you can "borrow" a team from someone else and test your team against a specific opponent by playing both your team and his.
To do this replace XXX with the team id in the following URL: http://fumbbl.com/ffb.jnlp?id=XXX
* In test mode there are new chat commands (/roll and /skill). They are described in the help menu.
Other improvements:
* Player detail is showing the player number on the team now.
Bugs fixed:
#2 Disturbing presence not affecting TTM
#71 No Kick-Off possible
#90 Automove - Player is placed halfway and ends his turn |
