Elite Dangerous Market Connector ("EDMC") is a third-party application for use with Elite Dangerous. Its purpose is to facilitate supplying certain game data to, and in some cases retrieving it from, a number of websites and other tools.
To do this it utilizes the Journal Files written by the game when played on a PC. It also makes use of Frontier's Companion API ("Frontier's CAPI"), accessible once you've authorized this application.
It does not work with Console game accounts, and is no longer supported on Windows 7.
See the link above for more information about what it can do for you.
EDMC now has a new maintainer team! A huge thank you to @Athan for his service to the tool.
@Rixxan and @C1701D have taken over as maintainers. See Athan's old EDMC thread HERE
This release contains a number of bugfixes, minor performance enhancements, workflow and dependency updates, and a function deprecation.
This release contains several under-the-hood changes to EDMC designed to improve performance, code maintainability, and stability of the EDMC application while providing new features and quality-of-life fixes.
Thank you to all the Beta and RC testers who helped smooth out some last-minute issues, and a huge thanks to the internal EDMC Alpha Testing Group!
This is identical to 5.10.0-RC1 except for re-adding Unix shebangs, updated translation files, and a few corrected documentation notes.
This release fixes an uncommon problem with the uninstaller logic if upgrading from a version prior to 5.9.0 to improve consistency across versions.
Note to plugin developers: modules.p and ships.p will be deprecated in the next version, and slated for removal in the next major release! Please look for that change coming soon.
This release fixes a widely-reported bug that resulted in the cAPI Authentication flow being disrupted for a subset of users. Thank you to all the CMDRs who reported this to us and provided logs to us so that we could get the issue isolated.
This release is identical to 5.9.2, except reverts a bad change.
This release fixes a critical issue on clean installs which would not update the Windows registry to allow for protocol handling.
All users are strongly encouraged to update.
This release updates the build system in use for EDMC to a more feature-rich installer and updates the commodity information to be up-to-date for Update 16.
NOTE: This version hands over the installer to an EXE file for Windows instead of an MSI. This does not change any functionality or plugin capability of EDMC. You may need to manually close EDMC during the update process if updating from version 5.9.0 or earlier.
This release contains the removal of the EDDB module, as well as a few under-the-hood updates.
