Seven badges covering build status, CodeQL scanning, license, latest
release, Dalamud API level, .NET version and FFXIV expansion. Quick
visual indicator that the plugin is healthy and which tooling
generation it targets, plus shortcut links to the workflow runs and
security findings.
LICENSE now starts with the EUPL-1.2 standard header so github-linguist
detects the licence correctly in the repo header. The dual-copyright
block (upstream ChatTwo authors plus Hellion Online Media) moves into a
new COPYRIGHT file referenced from the README. NOTICE.md and
UPSTREAM_SYNC.md stay as-is.
New files under .github:
- workflows/build.yml: validates every push to main and every PR
against the current Dalamud staging branch on a Windows runner
- workflows/release.yml: builds Release on every v* tag, locates the
DalamudPackager latest.zip and attaches it to the matching GitHub
Release via softprops/action-gh-release
- dependabot.yml: weekly NuGet sweeps and monthly GitHub Actions
sweeps with conventional-commit prefixes, grouped patch and minor
PRs to cut review noise
- ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml + feature_request.yml + config.yml:
structured intake that pushes security reports through the private
advisory flow and routes upstream-only issues to ChatTwo
- SECURITY.md: documents the vulnerability reporting channels, scope,
and target disclosure window
The release workflow replaces the previous manual upload step. Tag a
release and the ZIP shows up on the release page automatically.
Drop the test project from version control. Upstream Chat 2 also
keeps ChatTwo.Tests outside the public repo, and the test sources
need a Dalamud assembly bundle that only resolves on a configured
Windows dev box anyway. The files stay on disk for local runs but
no longer ship with the source.
The LICENSE file added in ad2feb5 carries the dual-copyright block
(upstream ChatTwo authors plus Hellion Online Media) and is the one
the README now points at. The original Upstream-only LICENCE was a
verbatim copy of the EUPL text without our Hellion attribution and
became redundant the moment LICENSE landed. GitHub also prefers the
LICENSE filename for its license-detection in the repo header.
Three new top-level files plus README update in preparation for
leaving the GitHub fork network:
- LICENSE: full EUPL-1.2 text plus dual copyright notice (upstream
ChatTwo authors and Hellion Online Media). README previously
pointed at a non-existent LICENCE file, fixing that compliance
gap was overdue regardless of the fork-network decision.
- NOTICE.md: acknowledgements addressed directly to Infi and Anna,
honest framing of why the fork exists alongside upstream rather
than trying to displace it, plus maintainer contact channels for
attribution or takedown questions.
- UPSTREAM_SYNC.md: documents the manual cherry-pick workflow with
-x authorship preservation, the conflict-handling policy, and
what we will and will not pull from upstream. Replaces the
GitHub-Fork sync UI we will lose after detaching.
- README.md: version bump to 0.5.1, fork-network detach note, link
to NOTICE.md and LICENSE, fixed the LICENCE / LICENSE typo.
Both PRAGMA call sites take values that SQLite does not accept as
bound parameters. ColumnExists takes a hardcoded table name, the
migration call takes a compile-time int from the version sequence.
Comments now state both facts so future readers don't try to wedge a
defensive whitelist into a path that cannot be reached from anywhere
user-controlled.
Per-channel WHERE tuples and the catch-all default-clause now bind
ChatType and cutoff via named parameters instead of being inlined as
literals. Combines BindIntList for the explicit-types exclusion with
explicit AddWithValue for each (type, cutoff) tuple. Behavioural diff
against v0.5.0: none — same retention windows, same cutoff math, just
parameterised.
Migrate CleanupRetainOnly, StreamForExport, CountDateRange, GetDateRange
and GetPagedDateRange from interpolated IN lists onto BindIntList.
Eliminates the string-interpolation pattern for SQL value lists in the
IN-clause sites. Behavioural diff against v0.5.0: none — same enum/byte
values, just bound under named parameters instead of inlined.
Centralised builder for dynamic IN-clauses that binds each value as a
named parameter and returns the comma-joined placeholder string. Used
by the upcoming MessageStore migrations away from string-interpolated
SQL.
The text-disabled colour alone made greeted tabs visually weak in the
sidebar. Push dimmed Header and HeaderHovered values alongside the
existing Text push so the selected and hovered states match the
greeted state too. Idle state stays untouched because ImGui Selectable
has no idle background slot.
The preview block caches the deletion estimate from the last refresh.
When the user toggles whitelist channels afterwards the cached number
no longer reflects the current selection. Snapshot the whitelist on
refresh and detect drift on every frame; on drift, grey out the counts
and surface a stale hint plus an emphasised refresh button. Sits
alongside the existing Cleanup_Help_SavedNote, which warns about a
different mismatch (mutable vs saved) and stays as-is.
Three FontChooser ContinueWith handlers wrote Mutable.* directly from
the threadpool. Wrap the result-write in Plugin.Framework.Run so the
mutation lands on the same thread that owns the rest of the UI state.
Matches the marshalling pattern already used by Database.cs and
Privacy.cs background work.
async void Task.Run() is a no-op for awaiting purposes since the void
returns immediately. Switch LoadData to async Task and have the two
callers fire-and-forget the task directly. Exceptions still go through
the existing try/catch inside LoadData.
Both tab classes were the last two settings tabs still pulling their
display name from the upstream Language resource bundle. Move them
into HellionStrings so all eight settings tabs share one i18n source.
The unused Language.Options_*_Tab keys stay around for backwards
compat with cherry-picked upstream tabs.
Drop the inline wall-of-text description in favour of the standard
HelpMarker tooltip used across the rest of the v0.5.0 settings UX.
Visual consistency for the General tab.
Mark Emote.Id, Top100.Id, Top100.Code and Top100.ImageType as required
so the JSON deserializer enforces the contract instead of relying on
default-null semantics. Removes the four CS8618 warnings the build has
been carrying since v0.4.0.
Twelve organic settings tabs collapsed into eight themed ones (General,
Appearance, Window, Chat, Tabs, Privacy, Database, Information). Wipe
migration v9→v10 with HellionChat.json.pre-v10-backup safety net.
Default tab layout now spawns six themed tabs out of the box (General,
System, Free Company, Party, Beginner when Novice Network is on,
Linkshell, Tell Exclusive). HelpMarker pattern across every section,
disabled tooltips remain visible. Pre-release polish from full
codebase review covered race-conditions, EmoteCache retry, Allman
bracing, and dead i18n keys.
Split the technical/notification streams (System, Error, Echo, Debug,
NPC announcements, login/logout, retainer sales, gathering system,
glamour notifications, sign messages, alarms, orchestrion, message
book, random number, progress) out of the General tab into their own
System tab. General now shows player conversation plus the active
gameplay events (loot rolls, crafting, gathering, NPC dialogue, party
finder pings) without burying chat under technical chatter.
Drop the channels that already live in dedicated themed tabs (Tells,
emotes, Novice Network, FC and PvP announcements, Sign and Glamour
notifications) so the General tab is the public-chat catch-all instead
of a duplicate of every themed tab. NpcDialogue moves in because the
maintainer reads it alongside system messages.
Spawn six themed tabs out of the box instead of one General catch-all:
General (everything), Free Company (FC chat plus FC announcements and
login/logout), Party (Party, CrossParty, Alliance, PvP team plus loot
rolls), Beginner (Novice Network only when ShowNoviceNetwork is on),
Linkshell (all eight regular and cross-world linkshells together) and
Tell Exclusive (TellIncoming/TellOutgoing as a safety-net catch-all in
case Auto-Tell-Tabs misses one).
Tab names live in HellionStrings (EN/DE). The Tabs settings tab gains a
help-text hint above the list recommending one tab per linkshell when
the user is in multiple, since a single combined Linkshell tab gets
noisy fast for active users.
- Configuration.cs: ShowTitleBar defaults to true so a fresh install
shows the window header instead of leaving the user without a drag
handle and hide button
- Configuration.cs: MaxLinesToRender default drops from 10000 to 5000
to match the slider's intended ceiling and the previous user-tuned
baseline
- ChatLogWindow.cs: 24h-clock checkbox now actually flips the format.
The Bestand path passed null culture which on a German system
locale always rendered 24h regardless of the toggle
- Appearance.cs + ChatLogWindow.cs + Popout.cs: when Hellion theme is
enabled the global theme opacity drives the chat-window BgAlpha and
the legacy WindowAlpha slider is disabled, so the two opacity
controls no longer fight each other
- Appearance.cs: ticking UseHellionFont now flips FontsEnabled off so
the two mutually-exclusive font stacks no longer appear active at
the same time
- Plugin.cs: mark RetentionSweepRunning volatile so the ImGui thread
reads the latest value without a stale register-cached copy
- EmoteCache.cs: reset State to Unloaded on exception so a later
trigger can retry instead of being blocked by the early-out
- Settings.cs: switch the SaveAndClose / Discard buttons to Allman
bracing for consistency with the rest of the file, and include the
ItemSpacing in the Ko-fi-button right-edge calculation
- Privacy.cs: add a saved-policy hint above the manual retention
Ctrl+Shift button so the existing Cleanup wording pattern is
matched here too
- HellionStrings: drop seven unreferenced keys (Theme_Heading,
Migration_Notification_*, Migration_Webinterface_Removed_*,
AutoTellTabs_Migration_*) and their EN/DE values, add the new
Retention_Help_SavedNote string
Settings UX polish release. Twelve organic settings tabs collapsed
into eight themed ones, theme/font controls moved to Appearance,
About and Changelog merged into Information. Configuration migrates
from v9 to v10 as a wipe with a backup file written next to the live
config; chat history and tabs survive.
The nine legacy tab implementations were superseded by the new eight
themed tabs. Removing them now that the consolidated structure is in
place keeps SettingsTabs/ aligned with what actually ships.
Three collapsible sections: version info (author, discord handle,
version, issue tracker), about HellionChat (maintainer, mission, build
lineage, license, SE notice, localisation, translator list), and the
changelog (auto-print toggle plus the manifest changelog renderer).
Drop the redundant inner Advanced TreeNode in the Maintenance section,
flatten the duplicated indent in the Overview section, and rename the
section headings so they reflect their content (Overview shows
metadata, Maintenance hosts the shift-gated tooling).
