I hope you like them:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contextmenu<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A new contextmenu for the IGB (ingame) actions will replace the old and unflexible overlay icons (for ShowOnMap, SetDestination, Addwaypoint, etc.) It&#8217;s ready to include more features and commands as soon as CCP updates the ingame browser. To access them, right click the <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dotlan.net\/images\/icons\/information.png\" alt=\"Info\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" align=\"absMiddle\" \/> Info Icon.<\/li>\n<li>The contextmenu will additionally include links to DOTLAN EveMaps Resources and is not limited to the Ingame Browser.<br \/>\nExample: Right click an AllianceInfo icon and you can directly jump to \u00a0the &#8220;Alliance &gt; Member Corporations&#8221; subpage. Less clicks to get you where you want to go!#<\/li>\n<li>This contextmenu will also be available on ALL maps! Yes! You can right click a system in the region map and directly jump to the Moon Mineral (example) page. You can open the system details in a new Tab if you feel the need for.<\/li>\n<li>On the map you&#8217;ve a submenu with all the system information. No need to change the overlay filter if you just want to get some more details about a hot system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3rd Party Authentication\u00a0<strong> (registered users only)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The autologin cookie will automatically be set after a successful login. Of course the autologin cookie will be on the ssl pages only, so nobody should be able to steal your cookies.<\/li>\n<li>The autologin cookie includes various security hashes to make sure it&#8217;s no longer valid when you change your password or revoke the application access. Additionally the information will only be valid for 31 days. After that you&#8217;ve to relogin.<\/li>\n<li>If you revoke the access of EveMaps (from Twitter or Facebook) you&#8217;ll not be logged in automatically since the access is no longer valid. Reauthorize EveMaps and you can get your login back.<\/li>\n<li>Reminder: All this security mechanics has nothing to do with &#8220;session stealing&#8221; which is hard to counter apart from switching to SSL only pages (maybe in the future if there&#8217;s need for)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Favorites Quick Access (registered users only)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the top navigation panel, you&#8217;ll notice the  <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dotlan.net\/images\/icons\/bookmark.png\" alt=\"Favorites\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" align=\"absMiddle\" \/> Favorites\/Bookmark Icon. This button will provide you a dropdown list with all your favorites. This way you can easily switch and jump to your bookmarked Systems, Alliances or Maps.<\/li>\n<li>You can now bookmark your own JumpBridge Network aswell to have it right under your finger tips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Navigation Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The universe map, shown after a\u00a0successful\u00a0route or distance calculation can now be hidden to speed up browsing or cleaning up the listing. Lots of (mostly IGB, Linux or slower PC) users were complaining that the SVG Universe Maps are quite CPU intensive. As I&#8217;m a part time linux user\u00a0as well\u00a0I can feel the need for it. The setting if the map will be shown or not will be stored via cookie like all the other navigation options.<\/li>\n<li>If you select a JumpBridge\u00a0network and [x] save your route options, the selected JumpBridge networks will stay selected!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Navigation &gt; Jump Bridges<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes, you&#8217;ll now have your automatic JumpBridge\u00a0maps additionally to the long lists. The access to the maps is similar like I display the Tracking Tokens.<br \/>\nExample: http:\/\/evemaps.dotlan.net\/map\/Tribute\/B:&lt;bridgeToken&gt; The same will work on the universe map as well. You&#8217;ll find your JumpBridge map links in the bridge listings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>User Registration<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hell &#8230; how many players can&#8217;t type their email address wrong. Really funny to see. (It&#8217;s not hotmal &#8230; it&#8217;s hotma<strong>_i_<\/strong>l). Anyway .. You&#8217;ve to confirm your email now and I&#8217;ll check if there&#8217;s an existing MX record (via DNS) to do business with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Server Upgrade<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Looks like the hardware upgrade went smooth, no bigger outages, crashes, etc. That makes me happy, so I can actually enjoy the upcoming summer without having to worry about EveMaps. As long as CCP doesn&#8217;t reinvent the wheel &#8230; you never know.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Misc<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Various bug and security bugs have been fixed to make DOTLAN EveMaps a better &#8230; a well &#8230; that would just copied from CCP.<\/li>\n<li>I hope I didn&#8217;t forget anything.<\/li>\n<li>Here are some nice pictures of the new contextmenu.
