Added diagrams to AAC Heavyweight M4 (Savage) - Part 2 (note: due to time constraints, not all mechanics were diagrammified, but links to external raidplans were added as a compromise)
Added icons for mechanic shapes! Instead of mechanic shapes (such as "halfroom AoE") just being printed in text, the timeline view now shows an icon in the "mechanic type" column for all AoEs with a clearly defined shape.
Added a new setting that removes most performance-intensive animations from diagrams for less powerful devices
Added the ability to mark timeline items as deemphasized ("minor mechanics") for timeline authors
Added new support for "blinking" diagram elements (this is mainly used for non-standard AoEs to distinguish between telegraphed and non-telegraphed AoEs)
Changed how targetability updates are displayed in the timeline view, adding the name of the enemy or enemies that have just become (un)targetable
Changed the styling of emphasized timeline items ("major mechanics")
Changed "mini diagrams" (i.e. the buttons that open a big diagram when you click on them) to be static, which primarily disables animations in order to improve performance when multiple animation-heavy diagrams appear on a page
Changed the default for the "One-line descriptions" setting to be "on"
Improved how hints (i.e. the explanation for each step) are displayed in diagrams
Improved performance when many animated elements appear in a diagram at the same time
Improved load times by forcing most images to be lazily loaded
Improved the file size of most arena images used in diagrams, significantly decreasing the time it takes for a diagram to fully load
Fixed various bugs related to diagrams
Fixed an issue that caused the "x" close button in dialogs to not work
Fixed an issue that caused expanded timeline items to be displayed incorrectly when "One-line descriptions" was turned on
Fixed an issue that caused certain timeline items to not appear
Fixed some spacing issues within and between timeline items
Fixed an issue that caused prisms (currently only used in Anabaseios: The Ninth Circle diagrams) to display incorrectly
Fixed an issue that caused the Z-order of SVG elements to be different when loading a diagram from a specific step (as opposed to starting from the first step)
Fixed diagram elements sometimes picking the "longer" path when animating between two rotation angles
Fixed an issue that caused an incorrect interaction with the browser history (i.e. the browser "forward"/"back" buttons) when tabbing between timeline view pages
Improved the visual fidelity of diagrams in general, including adding animated AoE indicators for most common mechanic types that closely match their in-game equivalents
Added the ability to mark certain actions in a fight timeline as "skippable"
Improved support for "children of children": when you expand an action with child actions in a fight timeline, children's children are now displayed with a corresponding indent (previously this multi-level hierarchy would simply be flattened)
Added a new feature that displays the damage type of each boss action in the timeline and descriptions. This feature can be turned off in the settings or reconfigured so that, instead of damage type icons, it instead or additionally changes the color of the action name based on its damage type.
MovedCloud of Darkness (Chaotic) to a new category "Other". The Final Verse (Quantum) has also been added to this category. If we end up adding criterion timelines, they will also be added to the "Other" category. (Note: the page for the Cloud of Darkness timeline already existed, but it was previously available under a "/chaotic" directory.)
Renamed Arcadion fights shorthand. Previously each fight used the "R" shorthand (e.g. R6S) on the website, in accordance with the general community agreement prior to the launch of Dawntrail. However, the consensus has gradually shifted towards using "M" (e.g. M6S) instead to refer to the Arcadion fights, so to avoid future confusion we've changed all mentions of "R?S" to "M?S" and updated all URLs on the website. (Note that the old R?S URLs are still valid and have been configured into redirects.)
Changed the way the event calendar works. Previously all the data would be hardcoded into the page to reduce load times. Now all the data is retrieved dynamically each time the page is loaded. This slightly inflates load times, but it means that we can update the calendar without deploying a new version of the entire website, so calendar updates should be a bit more frequent (and on time) in the future.
Fixed an issue in compact timelines where hovering over text that causes a tooltip to appear sometimes caused the tooltip dialog to be left in an inconsistent state
Added an (empty) timeline for Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic) and Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) We originally wanted to wait until fflogs fixes a bug that prevents actions from untargetable adds to be parsed from an ACT log. The result is that these actions do not show up in the fflogs events view, which requires a lot of manual labour from us to manually add them at the appropriate timestamps in our timelines. It's now been over a month since we made the initial report and sadly there's still no fix, so we're rolling out the timelines as-is and we'll do our best to rewrite them manually.
Removed explicit status effect durations in AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage) for status effects that don't have a fixed duration and expire only after being cleansed by a mechanic
Fixed duration field being displayed even for status effects that have no fixed duration
