Moving to github will also mean I can dump dreamhost as a host and move crudvision.com to my colocated machine to save money each month.

I’m sorry for the complete void in posting. I’ve been very busy with life, work and rock climbing. Yes, that’s right, rock climbing.

In early March I started a new job in Toronto for a gaming company (I’m not really allowed to talk about it much, unfortunately). I’m a sysadmin there and I love it. It’s much better than developing the same web applications over and over. I’m almost ready to resume programming for a hobby now that I don’t do it all day every day for pay.

And the rock climbing. My partner and I started climbing recently. We’ve noticed an unusual number of IT professionals that climb! It’s cool and odd at the same time.

I hope to post more, but the real goal of the post is to say that I’m ditching subversion, trac and intend to use github as the only source of documentation for Reve. (I just hope I can get traffic from github to this blog to pad my ego.)

The fixes are:
* Soverignty now casts constellation_sovereignty to an integer (Fixnum)
* Conquerable Stations method now reports fields correctly.
* RDOC updated for the above

This includes a major change – Reve is now licensed under a proper license: the MIT License. The terms of the license are now distributed with the package and are.

There is also a fix for the character_id that came back from a market order request.

Why a new license now? Simply because I think it’s important to realise that it’s unlikely that anyone will use Reve to create some billion dollar enterprise that I could have got in on. Yeah, not everyone can be Delicious, Flickr or Facebook. ha ha.

So go forth, ye multitudes and fix, hax, and use. Ruby and Rails both use the MIT license so now Reve should be at home.

This dump is odd: CCP is using integers where they mean to use booleans. So in those cases remember 1 is true, 0 is false. Good luck.

Edit: As a note the Eve Online Database Viewer is updated with this dump.

Edit 2 (July 31, 2008): I nearly forgot to give props to bunjiboys for providing the .sql files from which the above dump is derrived.

The cool new things are:

• Faction-wide war stats
• System Occupancy Data
• List of the top characters and corporations and factions.
• Personal and Corporate war stats

I know the documentation may not be the best, but I’ll do my best to improve it for the next release.

Grab the new gem (0.0.96) and give it a whirl!

• Typo fix in Reve::Classes::MapKill – shipJills -> shipKills
• Resolve trac ticket 3 (lowercase field names in postfields method)
• Update documentation to make ‘charid’ more consistantly ‘characterid’
• Resolve trac ticket 2 (Reve does not use @charid, but takes it as an argument in initialize)
• Be strict about currentTime’s casing.

The code changes can be seen At the Reve Trac.

Reve Release 83 with release notes at rubyforge. Short story is that I’ve fixed a bug with personal_wallet_tansactions method and fixed a bug with short XML tags causing problem with writing XML to disk for re-use.

Good luck!

I don’t think that I need the method anyways (I’m going to spend part of today to make sure with more tests!) so I’ve removed it and tagged Release 80 and uploaded the gem to RubyForge. It should be available to gem update or gem install shortly.

This release also has a larger test coverage and some other unnecessary methods were pruned. Check it out!

A brief list of what’s changed is:

• Corporations now nest under the Reve::API#alliances call and their ID can be passed to Reve::API#corporation_sheet to get more info from about the Corporation.
• Added an init.rb so people can install Reve as a plugin to a Rails application (Saves having to put it in lib and constantly update it. See RailsPlugin on the trac for details. Thanks to James Harrison for the idea.
• Reading of XML from an arbitrary source for all API calls. Including a file on disk or any other website. Useful for integrating with a caching proxy.
• Saving of XML to disk after a successfully completed API call. Useful to report bugs and to cache things locally. See the previous point!

The RDOC for Reve has been updated as well.
