Version 2.5.1.7 includes the following changes from the previous release:

Client:

• if configured database server isn't found, look for one and offer to use it if found — this primarily helps new installations
• use internal text file viewer for showing log
• streamlined database connecting and reconnecting

Console:

• if configured database server isn't found, look for one and offer to use it if found — this primarily helps new installations
• use last configured font at startup (instead of waiting for database to connect)
• use internal text file viewer for showing logs
• added commands (on Help menu) to show Database Server and Server log
• added commands (on Help menu) to show Database Server and Server log folder when running on the same computer when the log files are accessible from the current user (this is usually true on Windows but not on other platforms)
• streamlined database connecting and reconnecting

Database Server:

• allow automatic discovery (of the Database Server)
• fixed MessageStatusServer stopping after dirty disconnect from client (could prevent new Clients from connecting to Database Server that was up and running)
• made app shutdown more resilient

Server:

• made app shutdown more resilient
• streamlined database connecting and reconnecting

Installer:

• if no database server is found, default to installing everything (this only happens the first time the installer is run as subsequently it defaults to the options used last time)
• Added command-line options to support hands-free installation. On Windows, the syntax is:
  Syntax: ACIDMU_Setup.exe
  

  /help	show this message and exit
  /accept-eula	pre-agree to End-User License Agreement
  /both	pre-select both Client and Server packages
  /client	pre-select Client-only package
  /silent	automatically advance to next step
  /server	pre-select Server-only package

  
  Example: ACIDMU_Setup.exe /accept-eula /both /silent
  The syntax is slightly different on Linux and Mac although the option names are the same.
• added summary mode, which is the new default
• remember window size and position
