Sutekh 0.9.2 (2016-02-04)

Sutekh 0.9.2 is the third alpha release as we progress towards Sutekh 1.0.0.

In addition to the features of Sutekh 0.9.1, Sutekh 0.9.2 fixes a number of bugs, adds support for "Anarch Unbound" expansion and adds a plugin for showing Merged vampires.

Sutekh 0.9 introduces a number of changes to the database schema. While the automatic database upgrade code has been extensively tested, and we believe it to be safe, it is still a good idea to make a backup of your card database before testing 0.9.1. The minium python version required has also increased to python 2.6. The PyProtocols dependancy has also been replaced with singledispatch.

Sutekh has seen significant work since the release of the 0.8 series. The code has been extensively restructured to separate the VtES specific parts from the more generic aspects, and a number of bugs have been fixed as a result. A number of new features and improvements have been added, including a plugin to download TWDA decks, support for associating filters with profiles, a "Find similar crypt cards" option and also adds a simple undo stack when editing card sets.
