Astrobotany News

2021-05-22

Summary

This update includes a large revamp to the astrobotany UI/UX. Several pages and links have been adjusted to display a consistent style and theme.

Changes

A new location, the koi pond, has been added. Now you can finally exchange your useless flower petals for brand new (and still useless) karma!
An audio synthesizer has been added to the store. Once purchased, it will unlock the ability to create a custom MIDI song for your plant.
The leaderboards have been re-worked and moved to a separate page. In addition to the ASCII-formatted tables, leaderboards can now be downloaded as CSV files.
The landing page now displays the total user count and recent activity.
"🚶 Go back" links are now always displayed at the top of the page, below the first header.
The badge selection tool has been moved out of settings and into the main menu.
Unauthenticated users will no longer be redirected to "/app" before being prompted to present a client certificate.
Multi-line message board postings are now formatted correctly.
Plant generation & growth rate are now displayed alongside the plant's details.
You can now fertilize other player's plants for them.
ASCII art was added to the community garden page.
Prevent accidentally double-posting to the message board.
The astrobotany changelog has been converted to use the "gemfeed" format to allow users to subscribe to updates.
There are new public links to view your plant without needing a client certificate.
A JSON API endpoint has been added to get details for plants in the garden.
