------------------
Modifications:

• version 4.2.7
• Applied patch # 561114 "3 new maps" by mrsuspicious (mrsuspicious)
• Added a KDevelop 2.0 project (showeq.kdevprj) for those who wish to use that IDE.
• Added Deity and Body type fields to the Spawn List.
• Cleaned up some class names EQPlayer => Player, EQStatList => StatList, EQSkillList => SkillList.
• Renamed class CSpawnList to SpawnList. Split SpawnList related classes into current SpawnList specific classes and those that could be reused in the new lighter weight SpawnList.
• Created Spawn List 2, a lighter weight less memory/CPU intensive Spawn List. Defaults set to minimize CPU usage. Made it the spawn list used by default.
• Assorted cleanups in SpawnList.
• Changed SpawnShell from using an stl::map to a Qt QIntDict for maintaining the Spawn/Coin/Drop/Door information. This is mostly being done as a punt to fix the current primary crashing problem. We'll see if this works or the standing problem will continue to mock us...
• Modified SpawnShell::findID() method to return the Player object if the user requested type == tSpawn and the id happens to be the player id. Also, modified SpawnShell:findSpawnByRawName() to check and return the Player object if no other match was found and the player matches.
• Modified spawnshell to make the player appear more as a normal spawn. It now appears in the spawn list again and a tooltip will now appear for the player on the map again.
• Cleaned up the spawn monitor ipmlementation a little, SpawnPoint now inherits from EQPoint instead of Item (reduces memory footprint and unneeded functionality).
• Modified Spawn Point interaction with the map. The currently selected spawn point will now be surrounded by a flashing blue square. The spawn points now have tooltips and are selectable. They also follow the spawn depth filtering settings.
• Added the ability to delete individual spawn points through the right-click context menu of the Spawn Point List.
• Fixed the "smoothness" issue with the map following the player.
• Fixed renaming of Spawn Points. Also fixed the displayed Z coordinate of Spawn Points.
• Fixed map tooltip so that it now pays attention to spawn depth if spawn depth filtering is enabled.
• Normalized naming of x, y, and z coordinate members, methods, and variables.
• Further cleanup of the Spawn and Player classes.
• Improved performance of SpawnList under Qt 3.x.

Notes:

• Use of Qt 3.x is currently unsupported. But if you choose to use Qt 3.0.[1-4] you should apply the following patch to it and rebuild it: http://www.doomed.to/showeq/qt/qt-x1..._qsignal.patch. Theoretically this patch should not be necessary with Qt 3.0.5 when it is released.

And here are some assorted other CVS commits from recent history that weren't announced:

Can I say just one thing:

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The continued development of SEQ has been the only thing that has kept EQ bearable for me. I don't pay for my account, just maintain the characters for a friend now

[Wartrack]

Awesome!! The spawn point stuff is great... I hope to see this area advance

must keep in order

[Mr Guy]

Any chance of a secret fix to sort the x/y/z of spawn points numerically instead of alphabetically?
