#release

Usually in this channel we don't publish news about IITC Button update. But today I want to tell you about a rather useful plugin Ultimate Mission Maker, support for which has been implemented in new IITC Button v1.7.0.

Ultimate Mission Maker (UMM) is a plugin designed to simplify mission submission process in banners. The UMM allows you to set banner parameters (such as name, description, etc.) directly in IITC, draw a path for missions, and then export to Niantic's mission authoring tool.

Why didn't this plugin work with IITC Button before v1.7.0 update? Due to the fact that Intel map address was changing, some old unupdated plugins are restricted to work only with old Intel map address. So, before IITC Button v1.7.0 update, all plugins for Ingress were forced to run on new address, regardless of which address the plugins were meant for. However, this solution has disadvantages: UMM plugin can not run on https://missions.ingress.com/, and some .user.js files that are not plugins for IITC, on the contrary, are forced to run.
IITC Button now adds a value parser @match/@include, which determines whether plugin is intended for Ingress and also IITC or a mission authoring tool.

Let me remind you, IITC Button (get it on Firefox Add-ons and Chrome Web Store) is a simple extension for players, allowing you to get IITC in your browser without proper skills and easily enable the necessary plugins. But if you're an experienced developer, you'll probably like Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/Violentmonkey.
As for plugin support, IITC Button currently has almost all the features that third-party plugins could use, but if your plugin works in *monkey but doesn't work in IITC Button, feel free to open the issue.

IITC Store announcement and other development progress

# IITC Store

The official collection of third-party plugins - IITC Store - has been launched in test mode. At the moment, plugins in collection are automatically checking for updates and generating a list with plugins.

Thanks to @Suburbanno for his list of plugins, which I added to collection. Looking forward to your plugins as well. To add your plugin to the catalog you need to create a PR, more details in CONTRIBUTING.md file.

In the future, I also plan to create an IITC Store page on the website for convenience.

# New mobile app

As you may know, IITC Mobile does not meet the updated requirements of Google Play, so it is impossible to provide updates to users. Making major changes to IITC Mobile to meet the new requirements is difficult because it has a lot of old code, and the main IITC-CE developers are not Java developers.

So I started creating a new mobile app written in NativeScript+Vue.js, and using common code with the browser-based IITC Button add-on.

The common code with IITC Button was put in a separate library (lib-iitc-manager) and tests were added. This helped to fix some hidden bugs, in particular fixing some plugins that did not work with IITC Button before. The lib-iitc-manager is already used to build the IITC Store collection. I am sure that using the library on a large number of plugins will fix the remaining bugs and get the IITC Button and new mobile app to run all IITC plugins without problems.

# Need your help

I've been actively fighting Putin's regime since 2017. Unfortunately, before the full-scale war in Ukraine, many, both in Russia and in other governments, did not see him as a threat.

I think you've already read a lot about what Putin's army is doing in Ukraine, but I want to show what's going on from a different angle. International money transfers have been blocked for Russian citizens. In particular, freelance work has been made much more difficult. It is clear that this is how sanctions work, acting on everyone and not on the specific people to blame for what happened. But now freelancers have a choice: look for orders in the rather poor local market or work for organizations, thereby becoming more dependent on Putin's government.

It is now impossible to donate IITC through PayPal and LiberaPay (uses PayPal for withdrawals).

Fortunately, it is convenient to make a donation via Telegram. You can also donate in cryptocurrency.
Your donations allow me to pay for the project server and more time to develop IITC instead of doing other work.

Thank you for your help and use of IITC. Stay with Ukraine. And Russia will be free.

# What's new in IITC-CE v0.33.0

Note: This release was published on June 27th, but we wanted to publish the announcement together with the appearance of the IITC Mobile update on F-Droid.

- API of location filters has been implemented
- Filter Ornaments & Beacons, added a plugin that shows the name of the ornament and allows to change the icon
- debug.console moved to a dedicated plugin
- Showing the localStorage size warning in About-IITC
- Showing FieldTrip waypoints in Mission path
- Added scout/capture/visit filter to Portals list
- Update missions list automatically when moving the map
- Added an option to disable field filling in draw tools

See full changelog

Notice that all kinds of ornaments are now combined as one layer. Use the "Ornaments Opt" window to control the display of ornaments. You can also enable the "Ornament icons basic" and "Ornament icons extended" plugins to display the names of the ornaments and replace the ornament icons with those used in Ingress. Read more in the changelog.

#release

​​Adding support for PvE, aka "Unknown", "Red" or "Machina" faction is Work in progress.

PR #597
For PC: https://iitc.app/build/artifact/PR597/total-conversion-build.user.js
For Android: https://iitc.app/build/artifact/PR597/IITC_Mobile-test.apk

It is much more than just adding a color to portals and links.
And while we already see a first testbuild giving the right color to those entities, we have to see how and where plugins (standard, 3rd party and faction) need changes as well.

NIA decided to launch that new feature to intel-x first (Maybe to avoid a conflict during the anomaly).

Nevertheless standard intel is also influenced, displaying neutral links to neutral portals.

We also see that the portal data sent from the servers is not stable. We sometimes see a neutral "N" and sometimes an "M" (machina) on reload.

"Machina" is the code name for the new faction, while"U‌N‌K‌N‌Ȯ‌W‌Ṉ‌" is the visual name.

Running intel and intel-X concurrently does not make sense, so we expect to see the new features on intel soon too.

This means that we will test the core code against intel-X, but yet we do not recommend to adapt any plugins, esp. not change the headers until further information on NIAs plans with intel-X are public.

Keep in mind that we can not really do much with those portals, except destroy them.

Planing an OP might be difficult as the current mechanics allow a red link to cross regular links, but to build a field we need to remove that red link.

Hopefully we will be able to sort this out fast, but at least give the DEVs a couple of days to understand the depth of the required changes.

Thanks.

​IITC Button v2.0

Why is this a big deal? For a long time, the extension suffered from a lack of automated testing, which led to hard-to-reproduce bugs. This was solved in the lib-iitc-manager library, which is responsible for handling UserScripts. In general terms, IITC Button is now the GUI for the lib-iitc-manager.

# What's new

* Many bugs have been fixed, including bugs when installing IITC plugins without categories, overwriting built-in plugins, deleting the last plugin in a category.
* Improved compatibility with classic UserScripts managers. For example, all plugins from the Community plugins collection were tested and they all worked (however, three of them do not work in GreaseMonkey in some cases).
* Reworked the system for opening plugins via a link. First, the prompt to install a plugin appears only if it is an IITC plugin. Second, it does not break the current page (unlike TamperMonkey in Firefox in some cases).
* Added the ability to search for installed plugins. Inaccurate search is supported.
* Following changes in the IITC infrastructure, the "test" update channel has been removed. Instead, the use of addresses with PR artifacts has been simplified.
* Added support for the IITC Button build for Safari (not available in the AppStore).

IITC Button has an average of 7k weekly users in Chrome and 1k daily users in Firefox. But if you haven't used IITC Button before because of bugs with plugin management or plugin functionality, try IITC Button 2.0.

# Download IITC-CE

IITC Button 2.0 is already available in Firefox Add-ons and Chrome Web Store. If you haven't received the update yet, you can go to your plugins page and run an update check.

## IITC changes
- The sync plugin has migrated to Google Identity Services. On April 1, support for the old identity system ends.

- It is now possible to add a plugin by URL
