3.0.0

New Features:

• Plugin auto-update. From this version on, when a new version of the plugin is released, it will automatically be downloaded and update itself the next time you launch EDMarketConnector. You will need to install this version 3.0.0 manually, but that should be the last time you ever have to do a manual update unless you want to test pre-release versions (i.e. alphas or betas).
• Fleet Carrier materials tracking. BGS-Tally will now track your fleet carrier materials for sale and for purchase, with the ability to post to Discord. For this to work, you need to be using EDMC v5.8.0 or greater, authenticate EDMC with your Frontier account, own a fleet carrier (!) and visit your fleet carrier management screen in-game.
• API. This allows BGS-Tally to send data to a server of your choice, to allow your squadron or another player group to collect and analyse your activity. If the server provides information about itself, this is shown to you and you are always explicitly asked to approve the connection.
• On-foot murders are now tracked and are independent from ship murders.
• Trade demand. Trade purchase and profit is now tracked and reported against the levels of demand: 🅻 / 🅷 for purchases and 🆉 / 🅻 / 🅷 for sales (🆉 is zero demand, i.e. when you sell cargo that the market doesn't list).
• In-game overlay: The tick warning has been enhanced, with various levels depending on when the last tick was.
• Legend. There is now a key / legend popup showing all the various Discord icons used in reports and what they mean. Access this by clicking the ❓ icon in any activity window.
• New Discord preview. The Discord preview has been completely re-worked to much more closely match the look and colouring of the final Discord post.

Changes:

• Limit the 'Previous Ticks' dropdown to just the last 20 activity logs. Previous logs are still available, find them in activitydata/archive/ in the BGS-Tally folder.
• Old Today data.txt and Yesterday Data.txt files from previous versions of BGS-Tally will now be deleted if found (after conversion to latest format).
• BGS-Tally is now more efficient in saving changes to activity files - it only saves to disk when something has changed or you have done some activity in a tick.
• Plugin name and plugin foldername are now properly separated, so if you change the plugin's folder name, Inara API calls and the plugin name in Discord posts will still correctly say 'BGS-Tally'.
• The plain text Discord post text now has the plugin name and version included in the footer.
• Re-worked the way BGS-Tally makes network requests, so they are now able to be queued and handled in a background thread. This means the plugin won't lock up EDMC if it's waiting for a slow response from a server. Migrating existing requests will be done in stages. So far, Inara requests when scanning CMDRs, all Discord posting, and all API requests are done in the background.
• Discord changed its colour scheme for code blocks to be largely light blue and white, so re-worked all Discord posts to use new colours (ansi blocks instead of css).
• Sizing and layout of activity window has been reworked so the window is always the optimum size.

Bug Fixes:

• In-game overlay: Fixed occasional flickering of the tick time.
• No longer allow multiple copies of the CMDRs list window to be opened at the same time.
• No longer carry forward the contents of the notes field from one tick to the next.
• Fixed rare problem where trying to save activity data when the tickID is invalid.
• Fixed very rare and unusual bug where ground settlement data was invalid, killing the tally window.
• No longer perform any journal processing if game is a public beta test version.
• Ensure buttons in activity window don't get overwritten by other content.

Note for users of pre-release versions: This version is the same as 3.0.0-a4, except the DCoH and Comguard quick-links have been temporarily removed from the API, until the developers of those services are ready
