Changelog - Pre-Launch

Post by KingHarry »

Breeds
  • Various slight loosenings of colour/pattern standards
  • Added chinchi as separate breed
  • Rough and Smooth Collie adjusted to allow colour-headed white
  • Lykoi adjusted to allow any colour patterns, as per CFA, but preference given to black roans with yellow/amber eyes and low white markings to reflect differing standards across clubs
  • Seal added to Boston Terrier; brown changed to less preferred
  • Seal added to Italian Greyhound
  • Seal added to Shar Pei
  • Seal added to Border Collie
  • Seal added to AmStaff
  • Various breeds accepted
  • Fixes accepted for the PFM Oshie, Sheepie, RB, and Siamese
  • Dark blue added to Sphynx, Don Sphynx, and Peterbald
  • Blue and red merle added to Pomeranian as per AKC standard
  • White tail tips added to the following cat breeds as per CFA top cats gallery evidence: Siberian, American Shorthair, American Wirehair, Exotic
  • English Setter SB updated
  • Dark blue added to OES
  • Green eyes added and marked as preferred for the Chinese Li Hua, as per archived CFA standard
  • Ticked tabby added to Siberians as per CFA
  • White underbelly added to the Chessie, as per KC, AKC, UKC, and FCI
Docs
  • Merle doc rewritten to be like what it was pre-2019 at PKC; it is now looser with only the most extreme merle patterns being restricted to relaxed merle dogs
  • 'Brown tabby' is now called 'Black tabby' throughout the docs and standards, to reflect how it referred to genetically
  • Fur texture guidelines are now loosened so that any fur texture of the correct fur type can be used on a pet; previously, if you wanted to change a file's standard fur texture from, say, hair10 to hair6, you would then have to resubmit the file for acceptance. This is no longer the case; details on what internal fur textures represent which fur type(s) are provided in the docs, and additional fur textures are listed in the texture library
  • Tan points/Urajiro marking requirements loosened slightly; UKC apply a "benefit of the doubt" approach when white is predominant on the front of the chest of a tan-pointed/urajiro dog — we assume that the tan/urajiro chest markings are present but hidden by white, therefore a lack of these in such dogs is not faulted
  • Multiple docs edited to emphasise that noses and noseshines must be either untextured or specific nose leather textures
  • 10-19 (white) added to the list of indices that must be unchanged for a-reg petz that use custom palettes (and have white on them somewhere)
