Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.

Format follows Keep a Changelog, and this project uses semantic versioning.

[Unreleased]

Fixed

  • Market AO Data refresh now records live price rows with the application's fetch time before caching/storing them, so refreshed prices no longer stay red just because AO Data returned an old order timestamp.

[0.1.26] - 2026-05-18

Added

  • Release documentation now includes a module-by-module change summary since v0.1.25, covering Meter, Loot, Market, Scanner, protocol parsing, and QA/release gates.
  • Market regressions now lock enchanted refined material price lookup for recipes such as Master's Great Frost Staff T6.2, including AO Data variants like T6_METALBAR_LEVEL2@2 and T6_PLANKS_LEVEL2@2.

Changed

  • Market craft-plan updates now batch large additions and defer expensive preview rebuilds, making large recipe families such as multi-tier enchanted armor lists responsive instead of rebuilding after every row.
  • AO Data price refreshes now request only concrete recipe item ids, fetch price batches in the background with a GUI-polled worker queue, use cached/stale prices immediately when available, and fail fast on 429 rate limits without leaving the Market tab stuck in a queued loading state.
  • Market price refresh now expands recipe item ids to their required AO Data alias variants during fetch, so enchanted refined materials whose live rows are keyed as *_LEVELN@N can be priced even when the recipe component id is *_LEVELN.
  • Market rows with missing fresh component prices are no longer ranked as profitable craft candidates, making the craft table safer when AO Data has partial or stale coverage.
  • Market Inputs now separate full upfront shopping quantities from net/economic material cost after expected returns, keeping shopping conservative while profit math reflects returned materials.
  • Meter/Loot party detection now handles active-party joins, current-party GUID mappings, and Protocol18 dictionary/list key shapes more defensively.
  • Meter history comparison UI was compacted so selected-history comparisons no longer cover the session-gains panel.
  • Scanner sync now rebuilds the bundled Albion Data Client binary when repository updates change the scanner source.

Fixed

  • Market live price refresh no longer uses Qt worker-thread signals for AO Data calls, avoiding a crash path where the app could close during price fetching.
  • Meter no longer treats access-rights payloads as party rosters, preventing unrelated nearby/access-list names from entering party-scoped combat stats.
  • Meter session gains now reports personal silver (self/You) instead of summing silver picked up by the whole party.
  • Meter party filtering now keeps solo runs scoped to self and keeps party rows limited to confirmed party/local context instead of arbitrary nearby players.
  • Loot tracking no longer accepts arbitrary nearby loot/silver events before self or party context is known.
  • Loot inventory move filtering and trash icon handling were hardened so generated loot rows avoid known non-item noise.
  • Protocol18 operation-response decoding now tolerates list-like dictionary keys without terminating the live snapshot stream.
  • Linux Qt GUI smoke tests install the required Qt runtime libraries in CI.

[0.1.25] - 2026-04-15

Added

  • Native Loot tab for party-scoped item loot review, including live log status, import/export actions, compact feed rows, top looters/items/source summaries, category filters, and source-color badges for player corpses versus mob/container/system sources.
  • Loot tracker now understands the current party-member loot pickup variant and inventory move flows, so replay/live logs can include party looters instead of only the local player when the packet stream contains the required party context.
  • Loot text export now persists source_kind, allowing future imports to distinguish player corpses, mobs, loot chests, system/container events, and unknown sources.
  • Market catalog now exposes crystallized recipe variants and marks them in craft search/setup with a dedicated badge.

Changed

  • Loot logger focuses the UI on item pickups; silver pickup tracking is no longer presented as a primary live view.
  • Loot summaries now prefer human-readable item names and avoid duplicated technical IDs when the label and ID are identical.
  • Looted-from-player summaries were cleaned up to avoid repeating the same explanatory sublabel on every row.
  • Loot tab density and right-side summary cards were tightened to fit more rows at the supported desktop window size.
  • Crystallized market inputs are treated as non-returnable one-time components, keeping RRR logic limited to returnable crafting materials.
  • Qt loot state no longer imports PySide6.QtGui during test collection, fixing Ubuntu CI environments without libEGL.so.1.

Fixed

  • Loot source classification no longer puts imported Loot Chest rows under player-corpse summaries when newer logs contain source_kind=system.
  • Shoes and other armor item IDs are categorized before resource-token matching, preventing armor rows from appearing as resources.

[0.1.24] - 2026-04-02

Changed

  • Market shopping lists now compute minimal upfront material requirements per craft batch instead of raw totals, so returnable materials no longer overbuy large stacks while non-returnable components still stay one-to-one.
  • Market result rows now include journal economics directly in row-level revenue, cost, tax, and profit allocation, keeping item rows aligned with the top-level selected totals and breakdown values.

[0.1.23] - 2026-04-01

Changed

  • Windows installs now reconcile late Npcap Runtime setup after the app is already installed: Start/runtime status explains that live capture is ready, offers a one-click Switch shortcuts to live action, and exposes the exact ...exe live command without requiring reinstall.

[0.1.22] - 2026-04-01

Changed

  • Windows bootstrap shortcuts now prefer live automatically when Npcap Runtime is installed and the bundled Windows capture backend is available, so clean-machine installs no longer default to core after a successful live-capable setup.

[0.1.21] - 2026-04-01

Changed

  • Market selected-material cost now uses exact expected economic quantities instead of reusing shopping safety rounding, which keeps top KPIs aligned with per-result cost allocation while Inputs still shows full upfront purchase counts.
  • Market regressions now explicitly lock mixed-component weapon crafts so Inputs keeps full upfront shopping counts for returnable mats even when the recipe also contains non-returnable artifacts.
  • Market journals, non-returnables, mixed recipes, and top-level profit math are now covered by deterministic engine/state/profit regressions, which locks the current Inputs/Outputs/Results behavior before further planner changes.
  • CLI, Qt runner, and scanner diagnostics now resolve the app version from one shared helper, reducing mismatches between --version, in-app update checks, diagnostics bundles, and local-dev fallback reporting.
  • Market setup now stays in a fixed desktop two-pane layout (setup panel + crafts table) at supported window widths, reducing layout drift and keeping the crafts table from collapsing under the setup panel.
  • Market crafts/inputs/outputs/results toolbars now stay on a single desktop row at supported widths, which keeps search, filters, and CSV actions from wrapping into uneven stacks.
  • Start, Scanner, Settings, and Help now share the same desktop-only shell framing and two-column card density, which removes the previous one-column collapse and keeps utility-tab actions visible at supported sizes.
  • Meter now uses the same desktop shell contract: controls stay in one row group, the scoreboard header fills the panel width cleanly, and the history/session sidebars remain aligned instead of drifting at supported sizes.
  • Header update/support actions were compacted so the update CTA no longer looks truncated at supported desktop widths while PayPal/Coffee buttons stay readable without forcing stacked layouts.
  • Local release-readiness checks now validate the manifest artifact matrix for Windows/Linux/macOS from the checked-in contract file, so missing or misclassified release assets fail before tagging without relying on GitHub reachability.
  • Live meter sanity is now regression-locked across the current replay pack (pcap49-pcap53), covering bootstrap visibility, local-context party filtering, stable history labels, and fame/silver totals.
  • Windows release tooling now supports a bundled live-capture sidecar asset (AlbionCommandDesk-WindowsCapture-vX.Y.Z.zip) so installers can stage a prebuilt Windows capture backend instead of requiring local SDK/build-tool setup.
  • Release QA now validates the Windows capture-bundle path in bootstrap smoke and keeps the release manifest/update-flow contract aware of the new capture-backend asset kind.

[0.1.20] - 2026-03-28

Changed

  • Release maintenance now has a one-shot local gate runner (tools/qa/run_release_readiness.py) that executes the documented pytest/update/smoke checks before tagging a new version.
  • Release docs now call out the new one-shot readiness command, post-release diagnostics-bundle verification, and the fact that the Windows bootstrap installer still requires Python preinstalled even though Git is not required.
  • Battle sessions no longer finalize from a stale combat-state stop marker while fresh damage/heal events are still arriving, which reduces mid-fight resets during target swaps and noisy combat-state transitions.
  • Market journal mapping now falls back for royal plate items that are missing explicit journal metadata, and planner regressions now lock royal sigils/tokens as non-returnable inputs.
  • Market result-row profit/margin math now uses the same documented basis as top-level KPIs: net output value is compared against allocated input cost, with fee/tax remaining explicit columns.
  • AO Data market refreshes now default to smaller batches, split oversized 429-limited requests into predictable sub-batches, and expose clearer queued/loading/cooldown states while falling back to cache or bundled prices.
  • Market workspace now remembers the selected preset between runs, stores the last export directory in app settings, and exposes shopping/selling/results CSV copy/export actions directly in the UI.
  • Meter pipeline now applies recent-local party filtering upstream for both combat events and combat-state markers, which drops stale/off-map party IDs once local party members have been observed while keeping bootstrap permissive on first contact.
  • Battle summaries now pin per-session player labels as events arrive, so old rows do not get relabeled as later mob names when Albion reuses entity IDs.
  • App settings now merge safely across update, market, scanner, and logging preferences; a new Settings tab centralizes update checks, scanner repo paths, game-data setup, capture runtime, Git status, and default log-level controls.
  • A new Help tab now exposes app version, latest release/changelog links, troubleshooting entry points, and direct dependency guidance for Npcap, Git, scanner repo, and game-data setup.
  • Scanner and Help tabs can now export a diagnostics bundle containing summary metadata, scanner logs, market diagnostics, and current settings for support/debug handoff.
  • Meter history list now preserves scroll position across history model refreshes, keeps Copy visible per row, and clips/wraps long history summaries inside the panel.
  • Live meter display now prefers self IDs and recently local party entity IDs once party member IDs are resolved, reducing false-positive party rows from stale/non-local name matches.
  • Name registry now tracks recent local entity observations from live/replay packets for safer UI-side party filtering.
  • Meter controls and scoreboard now degrade more predictably at smaller window widths: stacked meter layout engages earlier, controls reflow into a compact grid, and scoreboard columns remain reachable via horizontal overflow instead of silent clipping.
  • Fame and silver totals are regression-locked against albion_combat_53_gold_fame.pcap, and the session-gains card now collapses to a single-column stat grid at narrow widths instead of overflowing.
  • Meter history can now be exported as TXT/CSV/JSON, and selected archived fights expose an in-app KPI comparison against a neighboring session for quick review outside the live scoreboard.
  • Meter sidebar now includes a passive session-activity trail for map transitions and recent fame/silver reward gains, giving users a safe post-analysis breadcrumb without adding any overlay/radar behavior.
  • Start tab was rebuilt into a tighter 2x2 health grid (capture, Git, game data, updates), while the header now exposes a shorter version-only update pill and falls back to a compact Update ... action in narrower widths.
  • Market setup/inputs/outputs/results tables now keep all columns reachable at the enforced minimum window size via horizontal scrolling, and their search/sort/export controls use a consistent wrapped toolbar layout instead of clipping at smaller widths.
  • Meter history exports were removed from the live UI; history stays copy-first and no longer attempts QWidget-based export actions from the Qt Quick surface.
  • Scanner repo actions now block cleanly while the Albion Data Client process is running, which removes start/stop/sync race conditions and noisy sync logs.
  • Start, Meter, Settings, and Help received another desktop-only layout pass to reduce duplicated content, stabilize card widths, and keep the main shell in multi-column mode.
  • Market input/output rows now keep clipboard copy on double-click while also toggling a green completion marker directly from the item cell.
  • Market shopping quantities now use full upfront material requirements for returnable crafting resources instead of subtracting expected RRR before purchase, which prevents underbuying on multi-craft batches such as Boltcasters.

[0.1.19] - 2026-02-26

Changed

  • Meter history now collapses duplicate rows for the same player label when Albion assigns multiple source IDs across map/cluster transitions.
  • History summaries keep raw totals_by_id data for diagnostics, while UI-facing entries aggregate by player name to avoid duplicate names in one fight.

[0.1.18] - 2026-02-25

Changed

  • First-run Qt startup no longer blocks with a game-folder picker when local game databases are missing.
  • Start tab now includes a dedicated Game data status card with manual setup and refresh actions.
  • Added explicit game database health reporting (indexed items/items/map index) and wiring into scanner/home UI state.
  • Startup checklist now includes game-data readiness as a separate step before scanner live-mode workflows.

[0.1.17] - 2026-02-25

Changed

  • Installer defaults were switched to capture on Windows/Linux/macOS bootstrap scripts, with automatic fallback to core when capture prerequisites are missing.
  • Windows bootstrap EXE now runs install.ps1 without forcing -Profile core, so release installs follow the same default capture-first path.
  • Bootstrap auto-run now starts core mode consistently after install and prints explicit live command guidance when capture extras/runtime are ready.
  • Bootstrap smoke CI now validates the default installer flow (no forced core profile) on required clean-machine jobs.
  • Install/release/troubleshooting docs were updated to reflect capture-first install behavior and fallback expectations.

[0.1.16] - 2026-02-20

Added

  • Scanner tab now shows Git prerequisite diagnostics with direct install guidance/action when git is missing.
  • Meter tab now surfaces capture-runtime readiness (missing/blocked) so live mode requirements are visible without switching tabs.

Changed

  • Clarified Windows runtime messaging: end users need Npcap Runtime for live; Npcap SDK is only for optional capture-profile builds.
  • Windows bootstrap EXE now calls installer with explicit -Profile core and passes release-version diagnostics.
