Release 1.2.4

Features:
  • API interface. We no longer need your username and password. Instead, we use your API key (see CCP's API Key page). You will be prompted to enter your numeric userid and Limited Use API key when you first start EVEMon (once per account). You can change them at any time by right clicking the throbber (spinning circle). The advantages of this are that we no longer need your password, and we can get character updates every hour if needed.

  • Main window now has menus instead of toolbars.

  • Skills on the "required skills" lists in the ship and item browser are clickable.
  • Skills on the skill browser's skill graph are clickable.
  • The Skill browser has a splitter bar between the skill description and the graph (making it easier to see long skill descriptions).
  • The skill tree in the skill browser can highlight any skills that are partially trained between levels. This is configured by the settings/look and feel menu.
  • A new skill filter "Not known but trainable".
  • Skills on the "required skills" lists in the ship and item browser are clickable.
