• We now test against, and package with, Python 3.10.2.

  As a consequence of this we no longer support Windows 7.
  This is due to Python 3.10.x itself not supporting Windows 7.
  The application (both EDMarketConnector.exe and EDMC.exe) will crash on startup due to a missing DLL.

  This should have no other impact on users or plugin developers, other than the latter now being free to use features that were introduced since the Python 3.7 series.

  Developers can check the contents of the .python-version file in the source (it's not distributed with the Windows installer) for the
  currently used version in a given branch.

Pre-Release 5.3.0-beta11

• EDND: Implement forthcoming approachsettlement/1 schema.

• EDND: Implement forthcoming fssallbodiesfound/1 schema.

• Inara: Only send a setCommanderCredits message at game login. Yes, you will NEED to relog to send an updated balance. This is the only way in which to sanely keep the 'Total Assets' value on Inara from bouncing around. Refer to Inara:API:docs:setCommanderCredits.

  Closes #1401.

Plugin Developers

• It's unlikely to affect you, but our requirements-dev.txt now explicitly cites a specific version of setuptools. This was necessary to ensure we have a version that works with py2exe for the windows build process.

  If anything this will ensure you have a more up to date version of setuptools installed.
