v0.11.0 Stable
released this
2026-07-20 16:11:40 +02:00 | 37 commits to master since this release[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").

v0.10.2 Stable
released this
2026-07-20 00:29:08 +02:00 | 39 commits to master since this release[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.

released this
2026-07-19 23:23:19 +02:00 | 41 commits to master since this release[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.

Changed
- Update download dialog layout is wider and clearer (title, MB progress, percent, Cancel) so status text is not clipped.

v0.9.5 Stable
released this
2026-07-19 18:13:31 +02:00 | 43 commits to master since this release[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
- Update checks against git.goclaw.org releases: bar every 5 hours, Settings on open, and a Check for updates button next to Apply/Close. Offers to open the download page when a newer stable version exists.
- Settings Advanced: Check for updates automatically (default on) via

released this
2026-07-19 16:41:33 +02:00 | 45 commits to master since this release[0.9.3] - 2026-07-19
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).

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
released this
2026-07-19 14:34:52 +02:00 | 47 commits to master since this release[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.
