Squadron Kill-On-Sight (Ally and Enemy tags; hotfix)

hotifx: avoid having heartbeat and "pledged to" requests sent to the server for users without an EDR account + changed AppName in Inara API calls.

This release adds support for #ally and #enemy tags to mark commanders as ally or enemy of your squadron on Inara.

Squadron Dex (index)

If you are a member of a wing / squadron on Inara, you will have access to a Squadron Index with the following features:

• Profile info will show if a commander is considered as an ally or enemy by your squadron: SQN Ally by <member>
• If you have an Inara rank of co-pilot or above, you can tag other commanders as ally or enemy

Additional notes:

• Requires an EDR account. Apply for one here: https://lekeno.github.io
• Only members of the same or higher rank can modify / delete existing entries.
• Make sure that your commander name on Inara matches exactly your in-game name.

Supported commands

• #enemy or #s! to tag a contact as an enemy of your squadron.
• #enemy <cmdrname> or #s! <cmdrname> to tag <cmdrname> as an enemy of your squadron.

Other improvements

Cleaner layout with sections:

Added support for the "Hunter" legal status which seems to be a variant of the Powerplay related "Enemy" status.

Added limits to queries to further reduce server load.

Bug fixes

• Band aid fix for a failure at startup with users who have Windows account containing non-ASCII characters
• Fixed problem with Realtime Alerts (would fail to show up when only one event got sent at a time)
• Fixed problem where the function to get recent data from server would fail if there was none

Beta: Squadron KOS list (#ally and #enemy tags)

This release adds support for #ally and #enemy tags to mark commanders as ally or enemy of your squadron.
Other improvements:

• Cleaner layout with sections: EDR = ED Recon, INR = Inara, SQN= Squadron index, CMD =Commander (personal) index.
• Many bug fixes.

To use #ally or #enemy tags, you will need to:

• be a member of a squadron (wing) on Inara.
• have you in-game name match exactly your name on Inara

• New commands: !enemies to see the most recently sighted enemies, ?enemies [on|off|ly ###|cr ###] for realtime alerts of enemies. These commands will only be available to long term pledges (7 days at the moment but considering increasing to 30 days) to avoid shenanigans by shifting between powers.
• Inara info about allegiance is taken into account, which means that you might get a warning if a cmdr is allegedly pledged to an enemy power per their inara info.

• Added sticky comment about checking ED's focus after the overlay starts.

Realtime alerts for outlaws

New feature: get realtime alerts whenever an outlaw has been sighted!

• Send ?outlaws [on|off] to enable / disable realtime alerts for sighted outlaws.
• Send ?outlaws cr 10000 to set a minimal bounty of 10k cr for the realtime alerts
• Send ?outlaws ly 150 to set a minimal distance of 150 ly for the realtime alerts
• EDR will remember your last settings, however the feature doesn't auto-launch itself.
• The realtime alerts will be activated for a while and automatically stop after a while to limit congestion on the server side. You will receive a notification in-game when the connection drops. Re-enable with ?outlaws on if you still need it.

Note: don't expect a storm of alerts, outlaws seems to be pretty rare. That or we need a lot more recon EDR users (please enroll your friends or advertise EDR in-game).

Inara Allegiance and internationalization

New features:

• Internationalization of the code: French 100% done, German partially done. Chime on this issue if you want to help with any language.
• Show Power Allegiance from Inara in Intel
• Support for Wanted Cmdr pledged to an enemy power (LegalStatus = "WantedEnemy")
• Support for recon data involving SLF

Bug fixes:

• Fix crash with stale legal records
• Fix server rejecting query for cmdr with a hash in their name

Known issue:

• EDR's UI in EDMC 3.0.2 has a weird layout: this will be fix in the EDMC 3.0.3.

Unicode, grrrr

Hot fix for 0.7.4

• Fix for unicode issues for the EDR status line on the GUI. Tested on a Cmdr whose name starts with a Æ, it worked :) Crossing fingers!

New features:

• EDR will now report ships that are unmanned or flown by a crew member
• Added an EDR tip about scanning SRVs: these generate no events in the player's journal so EDR can't report them. Instead, use implicit/explicit commands such as direct messaging an o7 to an SRV to trigger a profile lookup.

Other changes:

• Fix crash on sitrep when some information was missing
• Fix for Inara trying too hard to send a profile which may end up being unrelated.
• Fix for cmdrs with uncommon characters
