With 0.8.2, a large part of the application's backend has been rewritten, mostly thanks to @Sauyon joining the project. Expect it to perform better and crash less.

There are two changes in this version that you may want to be aware of though:

• If you want the game translated, you must now manually enable it
• Settings are now stored in a new location, follow the instructions below to import your old ones

---

Importing settings from a previous version

OS X:
Navigate to "~/Library/Preferences/" (Open a Finder window, press Shift+Cmd+G, copypaste that and press Enter), rename com.macaronicode.KanColleTool.plist to com.kancolletool.KanColleTool.plist, and com.macaronicode.KCTViewer.plist to com.kancolletool.KCTViewer.plist.

Windows:
Open the Registry Editor (Press Win+R, type "regedit", press Enter), navigate down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MacaroniCode and rename the MacaroniCode node to KanColleTool.

Linux:
Navigate to ~/.config/ (your file manager should have a way to jump to a given path), and rename the MacaroniCode directory to KanColleTool. Alternatively, run mv ~/.config/MacaroniCode/ ~/.config/KanColleTool/ in a terminal.

New Features:

• The client now adjusts its apparent time to JST - no need to set your computer's clock anymore
• New in-band response interception; no more need for a proxy (this is faster and more stable)
• You can now enable or disable the translation
• Reset button in the Game menu

Fixed:

• Crashes due to the proxy
• Configuration is stored in a better location
• Data is now guaranteed to be updated after maintenance on OSX
• Certain strings being replaced by "[null]" on OSX after a recent Translation API update
