Older release notes...

## Changes in 4.0 - **Added** the ability to make and share more custom seeds #18 #72 - Most progression items can now be updated to appear early. - You are now able to customize any location to force them to be progression, junk, or a specific item. - Upon clicking the button to generate the rom, any potentially unwinnable seeds should be detected. Depending on the options, you can try to click the button again as it may have just been bad luck, but if it persists you may have to change your settings. - After generating seeds, you can now now right click on in the rom list to "Copy Randomizer Settings String" which can be pasted at the bottom of the Generate custom game window. This will copy all seed generation setting. All customization settings like sprites are not copied. - **Added** multiple new tricks #76 - Mockball #58 - Navigating dark rooms outside of Hyrule Tower with only a sword #61 - Light World South Fake Flippers #75 - Misc. changes and bug fixes #71 #73 - Added more phrases for Tracker. - When asking what's at a location, tracker will now tell you whether it's good or not right away. - Tracker will respect the spoiler threshold setting when tracking all items in an area. - Fixed space jump timing when enabling Super Cas'Troid.

Changes in 3.2

This is mostly a maintenance release before I go on a brief hiatus.

• Fixed a crash on starting Tracker with a tracker.json from an older version;
  • It's still a good idea to re-apply any customizations manually after updating as you might miss out on new features otherwise.
• Changed bosses into a separate entity for consistency. Both Metroid and Zelda bosses can now be tracked/marked as defeated using the same commands;
  • Defeating a Zelda boss still tracks the item they drop; Metroid bosses do not.
• Removed "Love" as alternative for "Heart Container" because it was causing multiple mistracks;
• Minor other config changes.

Changes in 3.1

The main window now features a list of ROMs you've generated, with the ability to start playing or view the spoiler log from there. Contributed by @MattEqualsCoder.

  • "Hey tracker, what's at {location}?"

• Changed "Doesn't get you anywhere though" to trigger less often;
• Added Hyrule Castle and Ganon's Tower to Tracker;
• Added voice command for updating the number of items owned, e.g. "Hey tracker, I have 85 missiles";
  • Note: This might get removed in the future if it fucks with the voice recognition too much.

Changes in 3.0

For more details, see the in-game voice commands reference by starting Tracker, then going to View and selecting Help, or read the pre-release patch notes.
