    v0.9.2 Stable

    roelfdiedericks released this 2026-07-19 16:00:43 +02:00 | 22 commits to master since this release

    [0.9.2] - 2026-07-19

    Fixed

    • Start menu dismisses when another window takes focus (shell-side activate/app deactivate + foreground watch), not only when the bar loses focus.

    v0.9.1 Stable

    [0.9.1] - 2026-07-19

    Changed

    • Start Menu shortcut is Win711 Crash Report (searchable under Win711); upgrade removes the old Crash report name so only one shortcut remains.
    • Crash report system_id uses Windows MachineGuid (hashed), not a random AppData seed; leftover machine-id is deleted on bar/crashreport start.
    • Bar logging is a single Log path gated by bar.debugLogging (no more always-on log writes); off means no bar.log activity.

    Fixed

    • Stop writing retired shell-settings.xml; bar deletes it on startup if still present.

    v0.9.0 Stable

    roelfdiedericks released this 2026-07-19 13:49:49 +02:00 | 24 commits to master since this release

    [0.9.0] - 2026-07-19

    Added

    • Optional crash report helper: after a crash, a checklist lists pending dumps (all selected by default); Upload or Cancel. Start Menu Crash report entry; bar can open it when pending dumps exist.
    • Multi-app crash collector (crashreceiver) for crash.goclaw.org (Go; build separately, not product make/dist). Stores by app, computer name, and component.
    • Shell diagnostic command crashTest forces a controlled crash to verify dump writing (expect exit code 10 and files under %LocalAppData%\win711\crashes\).
    • Crash text and upload metadata include product version so dumps match local symbols\<version>\ archives.
    • Ship binaries and DLLs carry the product version from repo VERSION (no more Open-Shell 4.4.x file versions on product peers).

    Fixed

    • Crash dumps now install on the classic Start host process, not only Explorer inject. Host AVs write dumps and breadcrumbs instead of dying with only exit 0xC0000005.
    • Blank Start menu program icons when icon size was left on auto (-1). Defaults and DPI/SPI resolution keep runtime sizes concrete; auto sizes still save as portable -1.

    [0.8.0] - 2026-07-19

    Added

    • Installer/stage ships PDBs next to peers (StartMenuDLL.pdb, win711-shell.pdb, managed portable PDBs, etc.) for field crash analysis.
    • Local gitignored symbols\<VERSION>\ archive (tools/archive-symbols.ps1, auto on make stage) keeps a host-side symbol history for remote dumps.
    • Shell crash breadcrumb .txt: dump ok/fail, AV details, VERSION/file version, best-effort symbolized stack with file:line when PDBs are beside the modules.

    [0.7.0] - 2026-07-19

    Added

    • Task button Classic / Classic mirrored menus: Pin to taskbar / Unpin from taskbar writes or removes a shortcut under quickLaunchPath (default OS User Pinned\TaskBar), including AppUserModelID for PWAs and multi-identity hosts.
    • Quick Launch drag-reorder; order saved as bar.quickLaunchOrder in settings.json (new pins append; missing pins pruned).

    Fixed

    • Quick Launch shell context menu verbs (including Unpin from taskbar) actually run; the callback had been returning "handled" and skipping InvokeCommand.
    • Re-selecting the product default skin (Windows Aero) restores product option defaults again (not empty skin-file defaults), so Large font / Reduce glass color are not wrongly bold.

    v0.6.0 Stable

    roelfdiedericks released this 2026-07-18 19:25:06 +02:00 | 28 commits to master since this release

    [0.6.0] - 2026-07-18

    Added

    • Full-document settings defaults: settings.defaults.json holds bar, product shell keys, and a complete shell.engine bag; export tool rebuilds it from code defaults plus archived shell-defaults.xml.
    • Settings resolver fills missing user keys and keeps product camelCase names in sync with engine names.
    • EditSettings Apply stays open when dirty; Close and win711-config use Yes/No/Cancel for unsaved changes.
    • Shell bounceStart rebuilds an open Start menu after settings Apply; reloadConfig only reloads settings.
    • Skin options list bolds non-default checkboxes (same idea as the main settings tree; respects Bold settings).
    • Docs: docs/SETTINGS-DEFAULTS.md for defaults SoT, load order, skins, and UpdateSettings traps.

    Changed

    • User settings.json is full (non-sparse); first-run and load normalize from the defaults file.
    • EditSettings defaultness uses product defaults (not only Open-Shell code defValues); icon size and other DPI/SPI-resolved knobs compare to live resolved defaults.
    • Any Start skin can be selected and kept; changing skin resets options to that skin's built-in defaults.
    • shell-defaults.xml is archive-only (export input); no longer packaged as a runtime dist requirement.

    Fixed

    • Settings load no longer replaces Windows Aero (or other skins) with Win10 Immersive templates after JSON load.
    • Skin option toggles no longer get wiped on Apply; glass color is not sticky when glass override is off.
    • Align-to-work-area and similar bools no longer stay bold after returning to the product default.
