2.3.0 hotfix 1
2.3.0 Release
v2.3.0 - SF3 rework and performance improvements (25 May 2023)
----------------------------------------------------------------
BREAKING CHANGES: These changes may require changes to your scripts.
* Major changes to the SF3 mechanic. See the related spoiler section below for more detailed info on the changes.
* The same script filename can now be ran multiple times with the same args. If running a script from another script (ns.run / ns.exec / etc), this limitation can be re-imposed with the preventDuplicates RunOption (see general section for info on RunOptions).
* The same .js script will now be the same js module whether the script was ran directly or used as an import. This means top-level variables (variables defined outside of any function) are shared across all instances of the script.
* The js module for a script will also be reused by any script that has the exact same compiled text, even if that script is on another server or has a different filename. This can lead to unexpected results when using top-level variables.
* Some properties removed from ns.getPlayer and added to a separate function ns.getResetInfo. These are still accessible from getPlayer but will produce a warning message the first time they are accessed per game session.
* hackAnalyzeThreads now returns -1, instead of 0, when no money can be hacked from the targeted server.
* ns.iKnowWhatImDoing has been removed, replaced by ns.tprintRaw for printing custom react content to the terminal (limited support).
PERFORMANCE:
* Minimize impact of unavoidable memory leak when modules are created, by reusing modules as much as possible (@d0sboots)
* Internal data structure changes (@d0sboots, @Snarling)
* Fix memory leak when initializing large number of netscript ports (@Snarling)
* Improve performance while on the Active Scripts page if many scripts are starting/ending. (@d0sboots)
NETSCRIPT GENERAL:
* Remove requirement for script args to be unique. This was also related to performance improvements. (@d0sboots)
* ns.hackAnalyzeThreads no longer indicates infinity any time a single thread would hack less than $1 (@Snarling)
* ns.renamePurchasedServer no longer crashes if player is connected to the server being renamed (@Snarling)
* ns.hackAnalyzeThreads now return -1 (instead of 0) if no money can be hacked from the targeted server. (@d0sboots)
* Fix a possible infinite atExit loop if a script killed itself. (@Snarling)
* Static timestamps of last resets can be obtained via ns.getResetInfo, replacing playtimeSinceLastX from ns.getPlayer (@G4mingJon4s)
* Improved support for printing react content directly to the terminal (ns.tprintRaw) or to a script log (ns.printRaw).
* Added RunOptions, which can optionally replace the "threads" argument for ns.run / ns.exec / ns.spawn. (@d0sboots)
* RunOptions.threads: Provide a thread count (since RunOptions can replace the threads argument)
* RunOptions.temporary: Prevents the script execution from being included in the save file.
* RunOptions.ramOverride: Provide a static ram cost for the script to override what is calculated by the game. Dynamic ram checking is still enforced.
* RunOptions.preventDuplicates: Fail to launch the script if the args are identical to a script already running.
GENERAL / MISC:
* Fixed a bug that could cause the overview skill bars to become desynced (@d0sboots)
* There is now an autoexec setting to specify a script on home to automatically run when loading the game. (@d0sboots)
* Monaco script editor updated to a newer version and has more config options available now. (@Snarling)
* Improve Electron's handling of external links (@Snarling)
* Improved support for ANSI color codes (@d0sboots)
* Improved consistency of file paths. Correct names for files no longer start with a / even if they are in a directory. (@Snarling)
* All Math Expressions contract no longer accepts wrong answers (@Snarling)
* Faction invites now trigger immediately when backdooring a server. (@Snarling)
* Fixed issue where duplicate programs could be created. (@Minzenkatze)
* UI improvements to create program page (@Minzenkatze)
* Fix inconsistency in skill xp to skill level conversion (@hydroflame)
* Updated blood donation counter to reflect number of confirmed blood donations. (@hydroflame)
* Minor improvements to ram calculation process (@Snarling)
* Improved terminal arguments detection (@Snarling)
* Improved display for ls terminal command. (@Snarling)
* Added more internal tests and improved test quality (@d0sboots)
* Various codebase improvements (@Snarling, @d0sboots)
* Documentation improvements (Many contributors)
* Nerf noodle bar

v2.2.1
Hotfix / bugfix:
* (@d0sboots) Implemented a new API wrapping solution that prevents the need for binding functions to ns when placing
them in a new variable, but maintains and perhaps improves upon the performance gains from the previous v2.2.0
changes.
* Fixed some issues with savegames failing to load, or causing the main engine loop to stall after load.
* Fixed an issue where .script files were not receiving the correct args when ran
* Fixed an issue with sleeve HP calculation
* Possible fix for MathJax "Typesetting Failed" errors
* There was an issue with Corporations decaying their employees to 0 stats, even though the minimum was supposed to
be 5. Moved the variable storing the min decay value to corporation constants, and raised it to 10.
* Regenerated documentation at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-src/blob/dev/markdown/bitburner.ns.md
due to corporation changes related to min decay stats.
* Faction XP was unintentionally providing 20x the experience gain as it did prior to v2.0. This caused faction work
to exceed gym/university as the optimal way to gain experience. Values have been reduced to only about 2x what
they were prior to v2.0, and they are no longer better than gym/university.
* Fixed an issue where the overview skill bars could be displayed inaccurately based on player multipliers.
