Snapshot 164:
Fix stamp and local save thumbnails being stretched
Thumbnails (all types) now load much faster
Increase local browser ui size to make thumbnails larger

Thanks to @CatArmour for mentioning this issue. I've just been ignoring it for years ... but that encouraged me to actually go fix it. Makes the stamp and online browsers much better, and more in line with how they were in 2012 before tpt++ was released.

stamps / local saves get the same checkered rectangle they do in my mod's stamp browser (the one you also see when loading stamps). This shows the actual size the stamp was rendered to.

Snapshot 168:
Allow unicode in element names (useful for Lua scripts)
Replace http.cpp with libcurl, a proper http library
Use https for all requests - communications to the TPT server are now encrypted

TPT now uses libcurl for http requests. http.cpp is gone, that's the minimalistic library Skylark wrote 10 years ago to handle http requests. This update is long overdue, https has been the standard for years now and there's no reason for apps to continue using insecure http

I'll probably release an official update soon with this change, but for now I want testing to ensure it works and there are no issues launching. There's some new dependencies, libcurl is embedded inside but ssl libraries (on all platforms) are not.



I haven't posted about snapshots 165 - 167, but they also have some nice stuff. @LBPHacker has done some large refactoring, won't go into the technical details but it made the switch to libcurl far easier. It also makes thumbnails load immediately as they are ready instead of the 100ms (or 1s in 94.1) delay from before.

It sends an update request to starcatcher.us. Probably we aren't handling failures properly. I'll look into it tomorrow if LBPHacker doesn't.

Edit: We tried reproducing it on IRC but couldn't cause the bug to happen ... I think someone PMed you asking for more information.
