Quality of Life Quest Qontinues

From the Release Notes:

Puzzle and Station Improvements
- Add a "Restart" button to duty puzzles, allowing you to reset the board without manually abandoning and re-taking the station.
- Abandoning a station now only announces if you do not retake it within a few seconds.
- Gunning sessions can now be rated after 7 seconds instead of 15.

Navigation and Map Features
- Enable scroll wheel zoom for the chart view, and allow click-and-drag to pan around.
- Enable scroll wheel zoom for the bnav board.
- Show island name and distance in SMH map tooltips. This will only work for maps created after the release. Any maps created before the release will show "unknown" as the map location.

Furniture and Items
- Pets and familiars now show whether they are named or not in the tooltip.
- Pet names now include color information the same way familiars do.
- Update furniture group handling. Furniture tabs are now grouped by more reliable checks. This may still require further refinement, but at least now it doesn't rely just on the item name.
- Show precise item age. Days when applicable, percent otherwise.

Blockade and Multiplayer
- Announce blockade round starts the same as blockade starts, making it easier for players to know when they can re-enter.
- Keep the blockade notice board time displays up to date, so you no longer need to close and re-open it to see accurate time remaining.
- Show player disconnects to the whole vessel, not just the same scene.
- Update fray messages to include enemy count even when there is just one challenger.

Bug Fixes

From the Release Notes:
Small bug fixes Fixed issues on Treasure Drop where the coin wouldn't actually drop. Fixed ability to edit trophy page.

Java update and QOL Changes

From the Release Notes:

Java update
- Installer and clients have been updated to ship a newer version of Java to help modernize the game as a whole.
- Server maintenance to support the newer clients and other back-end changes.
QOL Changes
- Add 2x UI Scaling. Updating java made changes to how large the screen and UI are, so we added an option for 2x UI scaling in the options. This should make it easier for players with a 4k monitor to see and play the game. Players with a smaller monitor will need to use their system scaling to make adjustments and then make sure YPP knows to use these settings.
  - To use Windows scaling go to your display settings and under scale and layout choose something like 125 percent
  - Tell YPP to use the Windows setting by right clicking on the short cut. Selecting properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings. Under High DPI scaling override, check the box and set it to System. Click OK and Apply
  - If you continue to have problems, please file a petition or send an email to support.
- Added item count and summary tooltip to the trade window.
- You can now shift click to transfer items to a trade window or storage container.
- You can now use 'k' (thousand) or 'm' (million) when entering currency values in the trade window, like: 10k or 5m.
- Increase the lifetime of player shop and vessel logs to 30 days

Bug Fixes
- Use a more helpful message when players cannot create an account. The new message will also suggest using the steam client.
- Fixed blockade and flotilla chat log formatting. This includes adding a space for the up arrow history and making them not show as tells in the chat log.
- Fixed issue with players getting locked out of seats at game tables.

Summer Stuff

From the Release Notes:

Updated the Furniture section of player inventories so that it is organized into subgroups, similar to other sections of the player inventory
Monster Boss Dolls will now sort correctly in the player inventory
Test Sword 49 was recently enabled in the Palace Shoppe; feedback can be shared on Discord
Fixed a bug with the defeat animation for the Skeletal Parrot familiar
The following changes will not go into effect until after the oceans reboot on the morning of July 2nd
- Adding a new Flotilla chat mode that works similarly to Blockade chat mode
- Increasing the size and quality of Portrait previews
- The sky will now change color when ghosts are haunting an island
- Vessel auto-targeting will now default to OFF
- All building managers will now be automatically cleared when a building deed changes hands
- Adding a large amount of new Crew titles to choose from
- Large brigand vessels that can hold 40+ swabbies will now have a minimum allowable skill level for the swabbies they hire
  - In other words, large enemy vessels like Grand Frigates were occasionally too easy to defeat if players intentionally manipulated the difficulty ramp downwards, and that should no longer be the case
- The small Dark Forest tables that were given out in Werewolf chests had a bug that caused their colors to be randomized. Any newly awarded Dark Forest tables will recolor correctly.

Patch It Up

From the Release Notes:
Adding upcoming standard content for March (Seals o' Piracy, Monthly Rewards, etc.) Changes to the scoring mechanics for the Patching puzzle so that Grommets contribute more points to overall score. This change will go into effect after the oceans reboot on the morning of the 26th
