    v0.11.2 Stable

    roelfdiedericks released this 2026-07-21 11:35:34 +02:00 | 11 commits to master since this release

    [0.11.2] - 2026-07-21

    Fixed

    • The bar no longer claims the Windows taskbar role before its own taskbar is on screen (avoids a dead stock taskbar and no win711 bar if startup is slow or stuck).

    Changed

    • With debug logging on, bar.log gets detailed startup steps for tray and task services (timings and checkpoints) so field hangs are easier to diagnose.

    [0.11.1] - 2026-07-20

    Fixed

    • Setup includes settingsmanager built with static CRT so it loads on machines without the Visual C++ redistributable (bar no longer fails at startup with "settingsmanager.dll is required").

    [0.11.0] - 2026-07-20

    Added

    • Shared settingsmanager library owns the settings file for bar, config, and shell (load, save, backups, recovery).
    • Settings has a Config backup & recover tab (backups, quarantine, restore defaults).

    Changed

    • Config Start options write the same keys Advanced uses; place checkboxes control the real Start menu list.
    • Partial settings updates (Quick Launch order, update check timestamps, config Apply) use a single lock so two writers cannot overwrite each other.
    • Win key, Ctrl+Esc, and Shift+Win always open the win711 Start menu while the bar is running. The old Win-key mode dropdown is removed; exit the bar to use the normal Windows Start menu.

    Fixed

    • Setup includes settingsmanager built with static CRT so it loads on machines without the Visual C++ redistributable (bar no longer fails at startup with "settingsmanager.dll is required").

    [0.10.2] - 2026-07-20

    Fixed

    • Settings from the config form stick again: the bar no longer rewrites the whole settings file from a stale snapshot when updating Quick Launch order (that race wiped knobs right after Apply). Settings file I/O is locked, writes are atomic, and corrupt/empty settings are quarantined and recreated from defaults.

    [0.10.0] - 2026-07-19

    Added

    • Multi-monitor taskbars (optional): Settings Show a taskbar on every monitor puts a bar on each display with tasks only for windows on that monitor; tray, clock, notification bell, show-desktop, and the settings ellipsis stay on the primary bar. Show Start button on other monitors controls secondary Start orbs. Win key places the menu on the monitor under the cursor.

    [0.9.5] - 2026-07-19

    Added

    • Updates can download and install Setup from git.goclaw.org (progress UI, SHA256 when published in release notes, elevated Setup launch, peer stop). Open-in-browser remains a fallback only if no Setup asset is listed.

    Changed

    • Installer build stores the four large self-contained peer exes without re-compressing them (zlib still used for the rest of the payload) so makensis packs much faster; same files ship, Setup is larger.

    Added

    • Settings Advanced: Check for updates automatically (default on) via bar.autoCheckForUpdates. Old RetroBar checkForUpdates is removed on load and not used.

    Fixed

    • Start orb no longer flash-closes then reopens: shell does not treat focus on the product bar as "left Start" (bar still closes Start for tasks/tray; orb stays toggle-only).
