December 20th 2024

  • Bazaar “Featured” sorting algorithm! This replaces the old default which was named “Relevance”. The algorithm aims to highlight both new packages as well as popular old ones, and will spread out Marketplace packages so that one creator/author doesn’t get multiple placements in a row. Currently, free packages are still sorted as they were with “Relevance”, where the most popular packages are sorted first. We will be tweaking and improving the algorithm over time to make it even better!
  • Added compatibility indicators to Bazaar package cards and full views! These show up as little icons over the cover image in package cards, and in the full view as an alert and new information below the install button. These should take a lot of guesswork and clicking out of figuring out whether a given package works with your Foundry version.
  • Bazaar package data delivery optimizations! We’ve made some significant improvements to how the Bazaar package data is delivered to you which make the Bazaar much faster to load.
  • Fix a bug causing the Bazaar to sometimes scroll back to the top after a full package view was opened.
  • Fix a bug causing Bazaar package card sale banners to be hidden by the cover image.
  • Fix a bug causing client-side caching of Bazaar packages to only cache data for one Foundry version.
  • Fix an error which could cause back-end package optimization to exit prematurely.
  • DDB update: add Scions of Elemental Evil, Lord of the Rings Roleplaying, and The Illrigger Revised.
  • DDB: fix errors when importing Lord of the Rings Roleplaying.
  • Fix a bug preventing the game launch page from showing progress for public games when no user is logged in.
  • Prevent showing the same alert banner multiple times. If an alert occurs multiple times, a number is added to the front to indicate how many times it occurred. We also added a little animation when dismissing alerts.
  • Add the Forge logo to About page.
  • Simplify taxes tooltip & link on Plans page.
  • Updates to internal processes and tools.
