TinkerTime v2.0.0

v2.0

This Major Update converts TinkerTime to use the pure-java H2 Database engine. TinkerTime will now run much faster, as more data can be cached, rather than constantly analyzing the mod zip files.

LEGACY BREAKING CHANGES:

You will need to re-install all your mods. Fortunately, you can import your legacy TinkerTime-mods.json files, which are stored in Kerbal Space Program/TinkerTime. This will help make for a smoother transition. In the future, the database will be automatically migrated for changes.

• New Features
  • Faster due to the H2 database engine migration
    • you may notice that mod info in the right panel switches far faster than before
  • Improved KSP Installation Management
    • TinkerTime will now keep track of multiple KSP installations, and can switch them on the fly
  • You can now filter your mods with a text filter
  • New Splash screen on startup
  • New App Icons based on splash screen
  • You can now import mod URLs from a plain-text file
  • You can now export all of your mods, rather than just enabled ones
• Bug Fixes
  • Links to KerbalStuff mods will no longer go to the API page
• Other interesting points
