Beta 0.4.3 Update Key
🕑 Added 2019-12-15 20:06:39 +0000 UTC
Greetings esteemed supporters. I'm very excited to share Foundry Virtual Tabletop - Beta 0.4.3 which is an incremental release which makes the 0.4.2 major release available to all Patreon supporters while adding a number of improved features and bug fixes to the software.
The major focus area for Beta 0.4.2 was Audio/Video chat integration, AWS S3 integration, the Token targeting system, and improvements to Journal entries. The Beta 0.4.3 update iterates and improves upon those changes by correcting several bugs and further polishing those features. If you have not yet familiarized yourself with them, I strongly encourage you to read the Beta 0.4.2 Release Notes.
The most exciting addition in 0.4.3 is the availability of a standalone MacOS application which is an exciting milestone that allows MacOS users to have the same native Electron experience that Foundry VTT game-masters on Windows and Linux can enjoy.

Things you need to know.
1. It is intentionally not possible to update from 0.3.x to this version. If you were previously on version 0.3.x you must download a new version and install it in a separate location.
2. It is possible to update from version 0.4.x to 0.4.2. If you were previously on version 0.4.0 or greater, use the update key provided below.
3. Due to the new structure, there are not any game systems or modules which come preinstalled. You must choose which systems and modules to install yourself. This is a temporary decision - I will be working to provide an easy approach for new users to get started without needing to install additional content.
4. Configuration data (launch options, SSH keys, etc...) and installed packages (Systems, Modules, Worlds) are now stored in a user data directory outside of the application installation location. See here for more details: http://foundryvtt.com/pages/hosting.html#where-do-i-put-my-data
5. There is an update to the D&D5E System to accompany this core update. After updating the core software, be sure to also update your system version!

Providing Feedback
The feedback cycle for these releases are very important. There are many large changes where I will be keenly paying attention to feedback to continue building upon this new framework. There are three ways to provide feedback which I have ordered according to my preference.
1. Discord Channel. My preferred method to collect feedback is through our Discord server where I have created a dedicated channel for Beta 0.4.2 feedback. If you are able to join our Discord community it's the best way to engage with me directly for feedback.
2. GitLab Tracker. You are welcome to create issue reports directly in the GitLab tracker here ( https://gitlab.com/foundrynet/foundryvtt/issues ). If you choose to create issues in GitLab please take extra caution to check that your problem has not already been reported by checking other recently reported issues before creating a new report.
3. Direct Email. If the prior methods do not work for you, please feel free to email me directly with your feedback (admin@foundryvtt.com).
Thank you all so much for your support!
Andrew
