Patch Notes
You'll probably already know about the forthcoming tranny service patch. As a registered developer, I've been trying out an early beta of Tranny 1.5 for a few weeks now, and so far (apart from a few bugs) it seems quite promising.
Today I was sent the patch notes for the new version, and I'd thought I'd share some of the highlights with you, so you will know what to expect when it's rolled out to all trannies later in the year.
Regards,
Simonu (formerly "Becky" under 1.4)
Changes in Tranny 1.5 (Codename "Dowager Duchess")
This patch upgrades all previous version of Tranny, including 1.4 ("We ran out of good names"), 1.3 ("Baroness") and 1.2 ("Damsel"). Trannies running on 1.0 ("Princess") or below will be required to upgrade to an intermediate patch first.
2. Bug fixes
2.4 Tranny-based gatherings now scale properly. Previously they demonstrated a great deal of instability when loaded with more than about 5 trannies and/or 3 bottles of vodka.
2.5 Transformations "NevRSlip" Seamless Glue-On Breasts were incorrectly marked as "bind on pickup".
2.9 Suggesting "tranny songs" in forums no longer generates threat.
3. Naming Conventions
3.1 Femme Names To avoid conflicts and confusion, all "femme names" will be reset and re-generated procedurally using a new simplified naming system. Henceforth, all femme names will be generated by adding a vowel to the tranny's original male name. To avoid duplicates, all vowels will be used starting with a, then e, i, o, u and y.
So, for example, the first tranny called "Darren" will take the femme name "Darrena", the second "Darrene", and so on.
There is flexibility allowed in pronunciation, so for example "Darrena" could be pronounced "Dareeena", which sounds sufficiently feminine. Users are encouraged to experiment with the pronunciation of their new name.
3.4 Labelling The relaxed interpretation of tranny labels has been a bugbear since version 0.5, so with 1.4 a standardised system has been introduced that should hopefully satisfy all parties.
The new system will use only three labels: TV, TS and TG. Longer tags such as "Transvestite" were depreciated under Tranny 1.4.
"TV" (formerly "Transvestite") will be reserved for individuals who have been "out" for less than 2 years and "TS" (formerly "Transsexual") will be applied to individuals who have been out for 3 years or above.
"TG" (formerly "Undecided") is reserved for trannies between the 2 and 3 year boundaries.
7. Behaviour
7.2 Age restriction Trannies will no longer be able to dress in clothes that are outside a range of age appropriateness determined by their current age plus or minus ten years.
7.3 Cool-down times Under Tranny 1.3 the cool-down time after dressing (i.e. the time after dressing up until the desire to dress up returns) was increased. There has a great deal of complaint about this, so under the new patch the cool-down time has been reduced greatly, to a level similar to version 1.0.
Trannies will now find that the desire to dress up again will return within about 30 minutes, or after resting (whichever is soonest).
7.4 Colour Sensitivity Colour sensitivity, particularly in the middle of the spectrum, has been increased. The grass will appear greener for TSs compared to TVs. The reverse is also true.
Today I was sent the patch notes for the new version, and I'd thought I'd share some of the highlights with you, so you will know what to expect when it's rolled out to all trannies later in the year.

I would hope that in a future patch something could be done about the memory issues when moving between labels.
At that jumper looks a bit Simony....

And if they become brighter will the EU insist on a health warning such as "must not be worn when cycling or in situations where oncoming traffic may become blinded."
Perhaps future patches may include a dip and full beam setting for the brighter colours.
Any news on the compatibility issues when Wife 1.0 is still installed?
Still, I'm glad to see someone has provided a definitive answer to the difficult question of labels. Next time it kicks off Jo'll know where to refer people.

I'm surprised at 2.9 - shouldn't suggesting tranny songs always generate threats or denials of access at the very least.
In accordance with 3.1 I'm pleased to announce that my name is now Stepheena. I can't decide where to place the stress, though...
I have already put 7.2 in practice thanks to a custom mod and I am now looking at twinsets with interest.

P.S. perhaps not
I know it's flawed and that only eight colours makes wardrobe expansions somewhat limited but I actually think I look better in Prestel block graphics.
Compatibility issues usually occur when Wife 1.0 and Tranny x.x are trying to share resources. In particular Wife 1.0 has a cavalier attitude to the use of interrupts which can destabilise any system.
