1.5.3

December 20, 2015

• Added a set of general/advanced options. Open the window with the Advanced Options button.
  • The option to allow ranked votes has been moved to the general options dialog, rather than being a per-quest setting. It's been around long enough that I figure it's stable, and doesn't need the extra care of only turning it on per-quest. It defaults to on, though you can turn it off if it messes with things somehow.
  • In some (hopefully rare) instances, the default string comparer can be too lenient, merging together votes which should be treated separately. In those cases, you can turn off the option to ignore symbols (which includes whitespace and most punctuation). It may add extra merging work for you, but at least you can certain that the votes are kept separate unless you explicitly merge them together.
  • For the purpose of simplifying some merge situations, where there's a simple vote that includes a long description that's superfluous for the purpose of voting, you can turn on an experimental string trimming option. If a colon (:) is found less than 1/4 of the way through the total string (not including Plan: separators, or http: links), it will drop the text after the colon.
• Newly added quests now have the Try Last Threadmark option enabled by default.
