Release notes

1.13

See log.

For players:

  • SMAPI now recovers better from mod draw errors and detects when the error is irrecoverable.
  • SMAPI now remembers if your game crashed and offers help next time you launch it.
  • Fixed installer finding redundant game paths on Linux.
  • Fixed save events not being raised after the first day on Linux/Mac.
  • Fixed error on Linux/Mac when a mod loads a PNG immediately after the save is loaded.
  • Updated mod compatibility list for Stardew Valley 1.2.

For mod developers:

  • Added a Context.IsWorldReady flag for mods to use.
    This indicates whether a save is loaded and the world is finished initialising, which starts at the same point that SaveEvents.AfterLoad and TimeEvents.AfterDayStarted are raised. This is mainly useful for events which can be raised before the world is loaded (like update tick).
  • Added a debug console command which lets you run the game's debug commands (e.g. debug warp FarmHouse 1 1 warps you to the farmhouse).
  • Added basic context info to logs to simplify troubleshooting.
  • Added a Mod.Dispose method which can be overriden to clean up before exit. This method isn't guaranteed to be called on every exit.
  • Deprecated mods that don't have a Name, Version, or UniqueID in their manifest. These will be required in SMAPI 2.0.
  • Deprecated GameEvents.GameLoaded and GameEvents.FirstUpdateTick. You can move any affected code into your mod's Entry method.
  • Fixed maps not recognising custom tilesheets added through the SMAPI content API.

1.12

See log.

For players:

  • The installer now lets you choose the install path if you have multiple copies of the game, instead of using the first path found.
  • Fixed mod draw errors breaking the game.
  • Fixed mods on Linux/Mac no longer working after the game saves.
  • Fixed libgdiplus DLL-not-found errors on Linux/Mac when mods read PNG files.
  • Adopted pufferchick.

For mod developers:

  • Unknown mod manifest fields are now stored in IManifest::ExtraFields.
  • The content API now defaults to ContentSource.ModFolder.
  • Fixed content API error when loading a PNG during early game init (e.g. in mod's Entry).
  • Fixed content API error when loading an XNB from the mod folder on Mac.

1.11

See log.

For players:

  • SMAPI now detects issues in ObjectInformation.xnb files caused by outdated XNB mods.
  • Errors when loading a save are now shown in the SMAPI console.
  • Improved console logging performance.
  • Fixed errors during game update causing the game to hang.
  • Fixed errors due to mod events triggering during game save in Stardew Valley 1.2.

For mod developers:

  • Added a content API which loads custom textures/maps/data from the mod's folder (.xnb or .png format) or game content.
  • Console.Out messages are now written to the log file.
  • Monitor.ExitGameImmediately now aborts SMAPI initialisation and events more quickly.
  • Fixed value-changed events being raised when the player loads a save due to values being initialised.

1.10

See log.

For players:

  • Updated to Stardew Valley 1.2.
  • Added logic to rewrite many mods for compatibility with game updates, though some mods may still need an update.
  • Fixed SEHException errors affecting some players.
  • Fixed issue where SMAPI didn't unlock some files on exit.
  • Fixed rare issue where the installer would crash trying to delete a bundled mod from %appdata%.
  • Improved TrainerMod commands:
    • Added world_setyear to change the current year.
    • Replaced player_addmelee with player_addweapon with support for non-melee weapons.

For mod developers:

  • Mods are now initialised after the Initialize/LoadContent phase, which means the GameEvents.Initialize and GameEvents.LoadContent events are deprecated. You can move any logic in those methods to your mod's Entry method.
  • Added IsBetween and string overloads to the ISemanticVersion methods.
  • Fixed mouse-changed event never updating prior mouse position.
  • Fixed monitor.ExitGameImmediately not working correctly.
  • Fixed Constants.SaveFolderName not set for a new game until the save is created.

1.9

See log.

For players:

  • SMAPI now detects incompatible mods and disables them before they cause problems.
  • SMAPI now allows mods nested into an otherwise empty parent folder (like Mods\ModName-1.0\ModName\manifest.json), since that's a common default behaviour when unpacking mods.
  • The installer now detects if you need to update .NET Framework before installing SMAPI.
  • The installer now detects if you need to run the game at least once (to let it perform first-time setup) before installing SMAPI.
  • The installer on Linux now finds games installed to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley too.
  • The installer now removes old SMAPI logs to prevent confusion.
  • The console now has simpler error messages.
  • The console now has improved command handling & feedback.
  • The console no longer shows the game's debug output (unless you use a SMAPI for developers build).
  • Fixed the game-needs-an-update error not pausing before exit.
  • Fixed installer errors for some players when deleting files.
  • Fixed installer not ignoring potential game folders that don't contain a Stardew Valley exe.
  • Fixed installer not recognising Linux/Mac paths starting with ~/ or containing an escaped space.
  • Fixed TrainerMod letting you add invalid items which may crash the game.
  • Fixed TrainerMod's world_downminelevel command not working.
  • Fixed rare issue where mod dependencies would override SMAPI dependencies and cause unpredictable bugs.
  • Fixed errors in mods' console command handlers crashing the game.

For mod developers:

  • Added a simpler API for console commands (see helper.ConsoleCommands).
  • Added TimeEvents.AfterDayStarted event triggered when a day starts. This happens no matter how the day started (including new game, loaded save, or player went to bed).
  • Added ContentEvents.AfterLocaleChanged event triggered when the player changes the content language (for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.2).
  • Added SaveEvents.AfterReturnToTitle event triggered when the player returns to the title screen (for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.2).
  • Added helper.Reflection.GetPrivateProperty method.
  • Added a --log-path argument to specify the SMAPI log path during testing.
  • SMAPI now writes XNA input enums (Buttons and Keys) to JSON as strings automatically, so mods no longer need to add a StringEnumConverter themselves for those.
  • The SMAPI log now has a simpler filename.
  • The SMAPI log now shows the OS caption (like "Windows 10") instead of its internal version when available.
  • The SMAPI log now always uses \r\n line endings to simplify crossplatform viewing.
  • Fixed SaveEvents.AfterLoad being raised during the new-game intro before the player is initialised.
  • Fixed SMAPI not recognising Mod instances that don't subclass Mod directly.
  • Several obsolete APIs have been removed (see deprecation guide), and all notice-level deprecations have been increased to info.
  • Removed the experimental IConfigFile.

For SMAPI developers:

  • Added support for debugging SMAPI on Linux/Mac if supported by the editor.

1.8

See log.

For players:

  • Mods no longer generate .cache subfolders.
  • Fixed multiple issues where mods failed during assembly loading.
  • Tweaked install package to reduce confusion.

For mod developers:

  • The SemanticVersion constructor now accepts a string version.
  • Increased deprecation level for Extensions to pending removal.
  • Warning: Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location will no longer reliably return a valid path, because mod assemblies are loaded from memory when rewritten for compatibility. This approach has been discouraged since SMAPI 1.3; use helper.DirectoryPath instead.

For SMAPI developers:

  • Rewrote assembly loading from the ground up. The new implementation...
    • is much simpler;
    • eliminates the .cache folders by loading rewritten assemblies from memory;
    • ensures DLLs are loaded in leaf-to-root order (i.e. dependencies first);
    • improves dependent assembly resolution;
    • no longer loads DLLs if they're not referenced;
    • reduces log verbosity.

1.7

See log.

For players:

  • The console now shows the folder path where mods should be added.
  • The console now shows deprecation warnings after the list of loaded mods (instead of intermingled).

For mod developers:

  • Added a mod registry which provides metadata about loaded mods.
  • The Entry(…) method is now deferred until all mods are loaded.
  • Fixed SaveEvents.BeforeSave and .AfterSave not triggering on days when the player shipped something.
  • Fixed PlayerEvents.LoadedGame and SaveEvents.AfterLoad being fired before the world finishes initialising.
  • Fixed some LocationEvents, PlayerEvents, and TimeEvents being fired during game startup.
  • Increased deprecation levels for SObject, LogWriter (not Log), and Mod.Entry(ModHelper) (not Mod.Entry(IModHelper)) to pending removal. Increased deprecation levels for Mod.PerSaveConfigFolder, Mod.PerSaveConfigPath, and Version.VersionString to info.

1.6

See log.

For players:

  • Added console commands to open the game/data folders.
  • Updated list of incompatible mods.
  • Fixed config.json values being duplicated in some cases.
  • Fixed some Linux users not being able to launch SMAPI from Steam.
  • Fixed the installer not finding custom install paths on 32-bit Windows.
  • Fixed error when loading a mod which was released with a .cache folder for a different platform.
  • Fixed error when the console doesn't support colour.
  • Fixed error when a mod reads a custom JSON file from a directory that doesn't exist.

For mod developers:

  • Added three events: SaveEvents.BeforeSave, SaveEvents.AfterSave, and SaveEvents.AfterLoad.
  • Deprecated three events:
    • TimeEvents.OnNewDay is unreliable; use TimeEvents.DayOfMonthChanged or SaveEvents instead.
    • PlayerEvents.LoadedGame is replaced by SaveEvents.AfterLoad.
    • PlayerEvents.FarmerChanged serves no purpose.

For SMAPI developers:

  • Added support for specifying a lower bound in mod incompatibility data.
  • Added support for custom incompatible-mod error text.
  • Fixed issue where TrainerMod used older logic to detect the game path.

1.5

See log.

For players:

  • Added an option to disable update checks.
  • SMAPI will now show a friendly error with update links when you try to use a known incompatible mod version.
  • Fixed an error when a mod uses the new reflection API on a missing field or method.
  • Fixed an issue where mods weren't notified of a menu change if it changed while SMAPI was still notifying mods of the previous change.

For developers:

  • Deprecated Version in favour of SemanticVersion.
    This new implementation is semver 2.0-compliant, introduces NewerThan(version) and OlderThan(version) convenience methods, adds support for parsing a version string into a SemanticVersion, and fixes various bugs with the former implementation. This also replaces Manifest with IManifest.
  • Increased deprecation levels for SObject, Extensions, LogWriter (not Log), SPlayer, and Mod.Entry(ModHelper) (not Mod.Entry(IModHelper)).

1.4

See log.

For players:

  • SMAPI will now prevent mods from crashing your game with menu errors.
  • The installer will now automatically detect most custom install paths.
  • The installer will now automatically clean up old SMAPI files.
  • Each mod now has its own .cache folder, so removing the mod won't leave orphaned cache files behind.
  • Improved installer wording to reduce confusion.
  • Fixed the installer not removing TrainerMod from appdata if it's already in the game mods directory.
  • Fixed the installer not moving mods out of appdata if the game isn't installed on the same Windows partition.
  • Fixed the SMAPI console not being shown on Linux and Mac.

For developers:

  • Added a reflection API (via helper.Reflection) that simplifies robust access to the game's private fields and methods.
  • Added a searchable list_items console command to replace the out_items, out_melee, and out_rings commands.
  • Added TypeLoadException details when intercepted by SMAPI.
  • Fixed an issue where you couldn't debug into an assembly because it was copied into the .cache directory. That will now only happen if necessary.

1.3

See log.

For players:

  • You can now run most mods on any platform (e.g. run Windows mods on Linux/Mac).
  • Fixed the normal uninstaller not removing files added by the 'SMAPI for developers' installer.

  • Fixed critical errors being saved to a separate log file.
  • Fixed compatibility with some older mods.1.1.1
  • Fixed race condition where some mods would sometimes crash because the game wasn't ready yet.1.1.1

For developers:

  • Added new logging interface:
    • easier to use;
    • supports trace logs (written to the log file, but hidden in the console by default);
