PokerTH 2.1.10

What's new in 2.1.10

• new: Ace's Help - the contextual assistant of the web client, ported to the QML client: a small A♠ button in the header explains each screen the first time it is shown, on the real screens; offered once on the start page and switchable in the side menu and in the interface settings (QML)
• new: BBC game dates - a second tab in the forum news lists the Best Brainies Cup games of the next days with the number of registered players, and a game with registrations expands to the list of its players (QML)
• new: the lobby footer shows the current community server time (QML)
• improvement: avatars and game names can only be reported by registered players - the report buttons are hidden for guests, and the server ignores reports from guests (QML & server)
• improvement: the zoomed table on mobile follows the seats when the seat ring is redistributed, instead of showing the old layout (QML)
• bugfix: the big blind could be posted by the same player twice in a row on the way to heads-up (client & server, issue #541)
• bugfix: the app crashed on the first sound after the audio output device had been switched (QML & widget)
• bugfix: crash when accepting a game invitation (widget)
• bugfix: spelling and grammar of the application text, the docs and the changelog, translation catalogs aligned (by acts-1631)
• server: a short-stack call has to commit the whole remaining stack and counts as all-in (by acts-1631)
• server: a game whose other players had disconnected was discarded unranked when the last connected player won and left right away - it ends as soon as only one connected player with chips is left
• server: shadow mute - the chat of a shadow-muted account is only echoed back to its sender
• server: the official server keeps its avatar cache, which serves as the permanent avatar store of the website
• server: script for blocking ProtonVPN exit nodes (tools/protonvpn-block.sh)
• android: arm64 build fine-tuning, and the build aborts when Qt's startup library list names a library that is not packaged
• windows: GitHub Actions workflow for code signing with SignPath, and a code signing policy
• build: link abseil explicitly with protobuf 22 and later on Linux
• widget: the classic widget client is discontinued - it stays on 2.1.9 towards the server and only gets bugfix builds, shipped here as 2.1.9.1; servers accept widget clients from 2.1.9 on for good, QML clients from 2.1.9 on
