Hellion Chat 1.4.0 — Critical Lifecycle Fixes
Seven P0 lifecycle and race bugs eliminated before any performance refactor.
Plus version bump, manifest sync, changelog, forge-post.
Match the new HellionChat comment-length convention: 1-3 lines for
standard pitfall notes, 5+ only for non-trivial workarounds. The
previous Dispose comment was 14 lines of textbook prose, which veered
into AI-slop territory and would rot on the next refactor.
Hab vergessen die repo.json wieder mit zu bumpen, deshalb hat
Dalamud den v1.2.2-Release nicht angenommen — komplette Manifest-
Bump-Checkliste diesmal durchgezogen: csproj, yaml-Description +
Changelog, repo.json (AssemblyVersion + TestingAssemblyVersion +
drei DownloadLink*-URLs + Description + Changelog), CHANGELOG.md,
ROADMAP.md, README.md, Forge-Post-Datei. Inhalt unverändert
gegenüber v1.2.2.
UI:
- SettingsOverview cards now wrap subtext to two lines (DrawList wrap-
width) and the card height grew from 96 to 110 px. Single-line
fitting clipped most of the bilingual subtitles.
- HellionStyle pushes ChildBg with alpha 0 when WindowOpacity < 1.0
to keep stacked BeginChild layers from compounding the deckgrade
past what the slider suggests.
- WindowOpacity slider helpmarker now points to Dalamud's per-window
hamburger menu for opacity / blur / pin / click-through overrides.
UX defaults (v15 → v16 migration adopts new values only when the user
is still on the previous default — bool flips are heuristic, the prior
defaults are from the v1.2.0 cycle and rarely toggled):
- UseCompactDensity false → true (single-line message style is cleaner)
- HideInNewGamePlusMenu false → true (consistent with other hide-flags)
- HideSameTimestamps false → true (cleaner log)
- MaxLinesToRender 5000 → 2500 (mid-range hardware friendlier)
- ChatColours empty → Hellion brand preset (the first-run wizard does
not offer a preset choice, so fresh installs get the brand colours
out of the box)
