      This topic is meant to introduce the new features and updates that are being added to the client for version v1.4.0. As the new PRs are merged they will be added here. Pre-release for testing can be found here https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v1.4.1

      • Automatically Update Maps when hosting https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2114
        Latest version of the map will be downloaded when clicking create game

      • Support zstandard compression in replay files https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2124
        Adds the ability to parse the new compression for replays when it is eventually used

      • Use FLowless for listview for chat user list https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2127
        Changes the list view to use a new type control for display which should cut down on the number of graphic updates and thus cpu usage.

      • Add discord invite as topic to matchmaker chat https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2131
        Discord button moved to the matchmaker chat with more text added

      • Use system path for java with map generator https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/commit/a89ac22c3a84c02aa7693180dcd1aa7eddbcc12f
        Uses the system java to run the map generator which should hopefully mitigate issues some users have of not being able to generate maps

      • Join saved Auto Channels https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/commit/dbe5a37993ed2aecbc3c0779fdf90bce5a08eba1
        User specified auto channels should be joined

      • Convert ChatService to KittehIRC https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2126
        This changes the underlying library used for the chat from Pircbotx to kitteh. Kitteh is non-blocking so will hopefully use less cpu. Additionally it is more straightforward to implement irc interactions enabling opportunity for more IRC integration if desired.

      • Display Rating History Correctly https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2142
        This fixes the display bug with the rating history so that all points will be shown again.

      • Fix Rating Range Table Sorting https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2150

      • Refactor Notifications UI https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2153
        Change the notifications UI to include a button to the tech help forums as well as crash detection for faf. The error is now hidden by default and user input errors now have the error stack trace hidden.

      • Allow Moderator reports through the client https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2139
        Players can now submit moderator reports through the client and report buttons added to online replays

      • Fix discord join button https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2155

      • Add management of installed Maps https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/pull/2079
