The EveHQ team would like to announce the general availability for EveHQ v2.12. This release has some big improvements to core functionality of EveHQ, so it is hoped that you will find them as useful as we have.

Upgrading From Previous Versions
Because of the change in minimum system requirements to now include .NET 4.0 as well as changing the installation framework used, existing users will need to download the 2.12 installer manually and run it. This will perform needed checks on the system as well as update any beta version installations.
Note: If the last time you ran the EveHQ installer was a long time ago ( 2.10.x and earlier, or you can’t remember), it is best if you make a backup of your settings and manually uninstall the program first. The new installer may not find the registry entries for the really really old versions.
Summary of Key Changes
- EveHQ now runs on .NET Framework v4.
- New market price data system, which automatically updates market data based on the specific data provider.
- Eve Market Data Relay (EMDR) uploader for contributing market data back into the EMDR data pool.**Note: This is turned off by default. See below for how to activate it and start contributing.
- New installation system. Gone are the clunky and old style MSI executables, and now EveHQ will have a more modern installer based on NSIS.
- Automatic, time based saving of data that can be configured from settings.
- Simplified patch and update system.

Overview of New Market Screens
Market Settings
This is the screen where you will find the settings that will determine where the market data comes from that is used in EveHQ.
- Data Provider – This is the source of the market data, and with 2.12.0 there are two sources available: Eve-Central and EveHQ. The EveHQ data source operates in a similar way to the previous system in that it will download a package of data for the region or system, and use it as a local data source. This is great for people on slower connections on in disconnected situations.The Eve-Central provider will query Eve-Central’s systems on the fly when data is needed, and cache results for a specific time. Using this on a slow connection will result in performance of plugins like HQF and Prism to really degrade.
- Default Transaction Type – This setting determines what kind of transaction is used when requesting a market price for an item
- Default Price Metric – The aggregate metric used from the price transactions to determine the price value shown for an item.
- Data Sample Source – This is the region or system that the market data will be scoped to.
- Enable Market Data Uploader: This check box determines whether you have “opted in” to send market data from your local EVE cache files to EMDR.
Market Data Overrides
This settings screen allows you to specify items that should use a different transaction type and/or metric when requesting a price value for a given item. This is not the same as the custom price settings, but only modify how the market price for an item is determined.
Market Prices UI
This new screen replaces the old screen where you would download market data from a given source. It now acts as an ad-hoc price check screen for a single item. You will get some general aggregate statistics about the sell and buy orders, as well as the outstanding market orders.
