This simplifies processing nwidget parts as, unlike the remaining length, the pointer to the end of the list never changes. This is the same principle as we use(d) for tracking end instead of length for C-style strings.
And this removes 160~ instances of the lengthof() macro.
SDL needs to see the header files when compiling to enable those
drivers runtime. It doesn't actually link against them: it just
needs to see the headers.
On first start-up, the game will ask if you want to participate
in our automated survey. You have to opt-in, and can easily opt-out
(via the Options) at any time.
When opt-in, whenever you exit a game, a JSON blob will be send
to the survey server hosted by OpenTTD. This JSON blob contains
information that gives a global picture of the game just played:
- What settings were used
- How many humans vs AIs
- How long the game has been played
- Basic information about the OS / CPU
All this information is kept very generic, so there is no
chance we send private information to our survey server.
Nothing in the JSON blob could identify you as a person; it
mostly tells about the game played. At any time you can see
what the JSON blob includes, by pressing the "Preview Survey
Results" button in-game.
This means we have RTL support again with ICU 58+. It makes use of:
- ICU for bidi-itemization
- ICU for script-itemization
- OpenTTD for style-itemization
- harfbuzz for shaping
By default, GitHub adds all arguments of the matrix between ().
This is fine sometimes, but in other times it becomes a very
lengthy line.
With this commit, we decide what is between those (), making it
a lot more readable.
Lately we had a few times that people pushed to their PR branch
a few times to make small changes. Sadly, this triggers all CIs
every time, which takes ~20 minutes. As we are limited in the
amount of runners we get assigned to us, this means all other CI,
even for other repositories within OpenTTD, are delayed too.
We can avoid this by simply cancelling old runs when a new PR is
pushed. There is a downside: sometimes people already push a new
commit, but still want to know if the old one passed. That will
no longer be possible with this change.
This requires the use of WinHTTP (for Windows) or libcurl (for all
others except Emscripten). Emscripten does not support http(s)
calls currently.
On Linux it requires ca-certificates to be installed, so the HTTPS
certificate can be validated. It is really likely this is installed
on any modern machine, as most connections these days are HTTPS.
(On MacOS and Windows the certificate store is filled by default)
Reminder: in case the http(s):// connection cannot be established,
OpenTTD falls back to a custom TCP-based connection to fetch the
content from the content-service. Emscripten will always do this.
