v2.1.4
- FIX: ignore negative (future) timers when received from others (where
system bios/clocks reset between reboots, it can corrupt the time data)
- compensate for network lag when sending and receiving sync data


v2.1.3
- now using AceLocale properly for all localisations:
 - put remaining few hard-coded language strings into locale files
 - added complete German translations - many thanks to Alex6002!
stretched options window/buttons slightly to fit them
 - included bare-bones French localisation file - if anyone can provide
a full translation, please edit the local.frFR.lua and send it back to
me, it'd be much appreciated! (if anyone can provide translations for
other languages, go right ahead)
- cleaned up dropdown menu code, removing quite a few wasteful variables
etc. (think that was the last bit of untouched code since ZepMaster):
 - transport list in dropdowns is now consistent across main ui and
Titan/Fu bars - same ordering etc., clicking bar button now cycles in
correct order depending on what zone/faction filters you have
 - properly shows a tick beside the currently selected transport
- revamped main ui:
 - added tooltip info to widgets to make it clear what they do
 - layout changed to be in line with Titan/Fu bar tooltip display,
primarily to allow for longer strings in localisations that need them
 - dropdown button shrunk to save space, auto-hides when not needed
 - other funky fade thing going on when minimising main ui


v2.1.2
- removed MapLibrary from the package as optional dependency in favour
of embedded Astrolabe by Esamynn which does the same job but with more
up-to-date zone coordinates and better efficiency, it will also be used
in a later version to render icons on the world/mini maps. you should
remove the MapLibrary folder entirely if no other addons depend on it
- lots and lots of internal code cleanup:
 - more performance and memory improvements when accessing all-sorts of
internal table data
 - split the code into separate file modules (suggest to delete your
previous Nauticus directory before extracting this version)
 - moved all remaining global functions into single Nauticus (Ace)
object (yes the main addon is now Ace'd, using the better event driver
for now - AceComm to follow, see below...)
- previous versions used the local system clock to keep track of the
times, resulting in wildly innaccurate timings due to drifting clocks
(some overclocked systems and where the clock is sync'd over the 'net etc.)
- now refreshes the main UI window flip direction while dragging
- zero-padded timers to be a bit more human readable
- recalibrated all transport round-trip-times (again, but using the
right formula to work it out properly this time - d'oh). accuracy should
be *significantly* improved now! i.e. assuming Blizzard's server clocks
don't drift much (which they rarely seem to do), our timers shouldn't
drift by more than a second or three for every coupla days without new
sync or trigger data
- completely rewritten sync logic, replacing request-response with
delayed differential tell mechanism. what this means is significantly
reduced bandwidth needed to exchange timers, by ensuring only new data
is broadcast and by one person instead of everyone who thinks they know
it all (thus it scales extremely well when lots of people are in the
sync channel). AceComm will be used in the next revision when the Ace
team have fixed a small bug.


v2.1.0
- fixed main gui crawl when toggling window with /naut or changing zone
when zone contains transport and option to show GUI when zone change is
enabled
- fixed cmd typo in chatlog when closing main GUI
- fixed timer readouts - would occasionally show 60s instead of 1m etc.
- removed tigger age debug info from fubar tooltip panel (was for my
purposes but in future will provide this kinda data once properly formatted)
- active transport selection now remembered between logons (per
character setting)
- the alt-click audio alarm can be changed from the default of 20secs
with '/naut alarm X' where X is number of seconds prior to departure
when you want the first bell to sound
- recalibrated auberdine and theramore transports - blizzard shortened
them significantly, by round-trip-times of ~29 and ~46s respectively
- timers are no longer dumped when a server reboot/shutdown is observed
- CHANGE: timer data now persists across reboots!


v2.0.0
- IMPORTANT: in the name of biaslessness (is that a word?), the addon's
name has been changed to *Nauticus*! you should DELETE your old
ZeppelinMaster folders (ZepShipMaster, FuBar_ZepMasterFu and
TitanZeppelinMaster) before you extract this package!
- fixed some bizarrely wrong round-trip-times made in the last update
- re-calibrated each route to provide vastly more accurate
platform-to-platform and docking times (may need a few more tweaks but
it's very very close now)
- main ui visibility settings (shown/minimised) now saved per character
- cycle time algorithm improvement yet again - is about as efficient as
it can possibly ever be now (i.e. very)
- NEW: route added - Feathermoon Stronghold (Sardor Isle) to The
Forgotten Coast (Feralas)
- NEW: route added - Azuremyst Isle (The Exodar) to Auberdine


v1.94
- major code cleanup. note: settings will be reset to defaults (except
Titan and Fu). removed all globals. removed all remaining non-language
code from localisation files - if anyone can help with translations for
fr, es and any other locales, please contact me (german and korea
locales also incomplete)
- MapLibrary's IsInInstance check was broken, now using Blizz's new(ish)
api call. this also fixes performance issues in instances if using
AlphaMap (thanks to Telic the author for working with me on this). also
an extra check is made if AlphaMap's frame is visible, to stop forcing
map zoom when getting coords. please note: transit coords may not
trigger if you're browsing the world map (or AlphaMap or MetaMap etc.)
at the moment of trigger - especially when you're looking at another
continent
- now detects if player is (not) swimming, so as not to trigger transit
coords (rare but was possible)
- improvement to main ui window:
 - options dialog now anchored to centre of screen by default instead
of main window
 - uses proper widgets, bigger, better
 - minimises into much smaller bar with new icon
 - NEW: if window is moved to bottom half of screen, the main body is
'flipped' above the title bar, making better space for when minimised
- fix word wrap in Titan tooltip hint text (was too long)
- cycle times have been re-calibrated (only the full round-trip lengths
for now). over a long period without sync from other players, times
should drift apart significantly less so. next revision (for TBC) will
see a) precise platform-to-platform and accurate docking times, b)
better positioned trigger coords and c) internally, ZM will know the
precise transport coords at any moment in time (for later use, see below)
- yet more optimisations to the cycle time algorithm. in future, the
algorithm will be efficient enough to potentially show times for all
routes at the same time (though, the plan is to show an icon for each
vessel on the world map, plus on the minimap for the current zone a la
Gatherer with tooltips).


v1.93
- fixes some routes not triggering properly when using MapLibrary and
player position not visible on map i.e. far out to sea
- fix error after login when using detached FuBar tooltips
- corrected english non-alias name for wetlands (was menethil) <==> to
dustwallow route
- checks player position less frequently now
- sync protocol slightly different - most sync data is the same, but
triggered routes won't be sent between versions prior to 1.93. get your
friends to update! this was to remove hardcoded values, making it easier
to re-calibrate the times in a (very near) future update. data is also
much less spammy when players login (you won't notice it, but always
good on resources)
- NEW Titan/FuBar feature: Alt-click on button to set up a one-time-only
audio (trumpet) alarm 20 seconds (will make it configurable in next
version) from departure and a 'ding ding' at zero



v1.92a
- fixed stack overflow bug in MapLibrary when exiting bg if battlefield
map shown
- when not using the MapLibrary optional dependency, logging into WoW
directly inside an instance would give an error (however i highly
recommend you keep using MapLibrary with ZM!)


v1.92
- major performance improvement: finally fixed the long-standing memory
consumption issue, using new data structures. increasing rate reduced
from ~60Kb/s when active transport selected to less than 0.1Kb (normal
background radiation levels basically)


v1.91
- NEW FuBar plugin!
- compacted main ui options dialog
- merged duplicated transport coord data from several localisation
files, improving memory usage and startup times a bit
- stopped main ui text needlessly being updated every few frames and
some unnecessary calcs when no transport selected / no times avail..
(should now use practically zilch resources when no transport selected,
except for when sync'ing)
- many many optimisations to the cycle time calculation, removing some
unnecessary code
- Titan code revamp
 - moved artwork from Titan to main core folder for sharing with FuBar
plugin (please delete old folders before upgrading)
 - muchos performance increase: removed expensive (and duplicated)
cycle time calculations for both tooltip and button text, takes
pre-calc'd info from main core instead
 - fixed rare bug when sometimes showing tooltip for first time?
 - fixed city alias option not working for platform names in tooltip
 - added hint, much better formatted and coloured tooltip


v1.90 (new maintainer Drool)
- fixes for lua 5.1 code changes (patch 2.0)
- optional dependency MapLibrary (slightly modified with patch 2.0
fixes) included
- suppress chat spam when logging on / retrieving sync data
- fixes issue where player could only update own times for each
transport once per session(!)
- significant performance improvements:
 - only polls transport exit coords when player is moving and not in an
instance
 - faster and more accurate proximity check algorithm
 - player location polling: uses MapLibrary to get coords, without
needing to zoom the map and subsequently generating tonnes of
WORLD_MAP_UPDATE events, several every frame(!)
- Titan support: fixed UIDropDownMenu error, added version number,
rearranged menu


v1.86
- fix for some popup errors (maybe)
- fix for data being reset because bugged timestamp
- stopped gui from showing on zone by default (amazing how many people
couldn't find the options)


v1.83
- possible fix for Too many buttons in UIDropDownMenu
(not sure if fixed 100%)


v1.82
- bugfix: Loading error that occured if you didn't have titan panel
installed
- Titan: Icons replaced words Arrival(green arrow) +Departure (red arrow)
- Popup Error Fix


v1.8

- Support for titanbars (You need ZeppelinMaster base addon for titanbar
portion to work)


v1.74

- Fix for data being reset between sessions
- Timestamps fix


v1.7
- Timestamps fix


v1.5-v1.61
- GUI improvements
