Entropia Central Tracker is the Windows companion that reads your Entropia Universe chat log and turns it into live session data. See [getting started](https://www.entropiacentral.com/documentation/tracker/getting-started) to set it up, and [troubleshooting](https://www.entropiacentral.com/documentation/tracker/troubleshooting) when it is not recording what you expect.

## Current release

The tracker currently in distribution provides:

- Live tracking of globals, HOFs, ATHs, discoveries, tiering and PvP sprees from the chat log
- Hunting, fishing and mining session tracking, with return calculated from logged decay and ammo
- Loadout markup, so spend reflects what your gear actually cost rather than only its TT value
- Trade radar over the public trade channels
- Tracker overlay windows for use while playing
- Daily missions
- Automatic upload of tracked events to your Entropia Central profile
- Privacy Mode, which keeps everything local and sends nothing

## About this log

This page starts here. Earlier builds shipped without version numbers or recorded release notes, and reconstructing them after the fact would mean guessing at what changed and when, which is worse than saying nothing.

From the next release onward, each version will be listed here with its version number, release date and what changed.

## Updating

The tracker does not read anything while it is closed and does not backfill history from before it started, so anything that happened during an update is not recorded. Globals missed that way are not recoverable from your side, though a global seen and submitted by somebody else still appears on the site attributed to you.
