    v1.5.6 — Settings Overhaul + Filter & Notification Polish (2026-05-23)

    • Settings window reorganised: ten tabs down to seven (General, Appearance, Chat, Window, Channels, Data & Privacy, About). Each tab now uses collapsible sections grouped by control type. Sections start collapsed every time you open a tab — less noise, easier to find what you need.
    • New sender-name display options under Chat → Messages: separate world-suffix and name-format modes (Full name / First name only / Initials × Never / Other worlds only / Always).
    • Plugin-only symbols now show a pre-send warning so other players do not get empty boxes (Chat → Messages → "Warn before sending plugin-only symbols").
    • Separate window opacity for focused vs. inactive chat window (Appearance → Window style → "Inactive window opacity"). The slider above sets the focused value.
    • Custom notification sound volume slider (General → Sound, and mirrored in Channels → per-tab → Notification). Affects only the three bundled custom sounds; the 16 game sounds are unaffected.
    • The per-tab regex filter that briefly shipped earlier in this cycle has been removed — FFXIV's built-in blackword filter covers the same need.
    • All 24 locale files updated for the new section labels and the v1.5.6 control labels (machine translation; native review continues via the Hellion Forge Discord).

    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

    v1.5.5 — Upstream-Sync Tab-Features (2026-05-21)

    A backlog-sync cycle: inherited tab-feature items plus a new fox
    banner image and custom notification sounds.

    User-visible:

    • Failed tells now raise a warning toast when a message you sent
      could not be delivered (recipient offline, in an instance, or
      blocking you). Toggle in Settings, Chat tab.
    • Per-tab notification sound: each tab can play a sound when a
      message arrives while you are looking at a different tab. Pick
      one of the 16 game chat sounds or one of three bundled Hellion
      sounds, with a preview button to hear it. Off by default,
      respects the global sound toggle.
    • The tab rename field in the right-click menu now focuses
      itself when the menu opens and accepts up to 512 characters,
      matching the settings-tab rename.
    • A jump-to-latest button appears in the chat log header while
      you are scrolled up from the live end.
    • Map flags and item links can be inserted into the chat input
      from its right-click menu.
    • The Hellion Forge fox banner in the first-run wizard and the
      Information tab is now a real image instead of ASCII art.

    Schema bumped to v18 (additive fields only, no data migration).

    v1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)

    A polish cycle: smoother theme switching, faster theme and tab
    access, and subtle hover motion. Three P3 items plus an
    accessibility toggle.

    User-visible:

    • Theme switches now crossfade smoothly over ~300 ms across every
      Hellion-rendered surface — sidebar, title, buttons, tabs,
      scrollbar, separators. The window background snaps deliberately
      so the per-window opacity override from Dalamud's pinning menu
      stays untouched.
    • New header quick-picker: a palette button left of the cog opens
      a compact popup with two sections — every built-in and custom
      theme, and every tab. The active entry carries a check glyph;
      clicking another switches without closing the popup.
    • Sidebar icons ease their opacity on hover, and card-mode message
      borders highlight per tab while the cursor is over their rows.
      Framerate-independent, so a stalled Wine frame cannot overshoot
      the animation.
    • New "Reduce motion" toggle in Theme & Layout disables the
      crossfade, the hover animations and the unread-tab pulse for
      users who prefer a static UI.

    Under the hood:

    • Two pure-helper lerp paths (ThemeAbgrCacheLerp, FrameLerp) with
      xUnit coverage in the Build Suite, plus a ColourUtil.ApplyAlpha
      alpha modulator. Two new /xlperf self-test steps pin the
      crossfade and quick-picker contracts.

    No schema bump, no migration. Migration v17 stays.

    v1.5.3 — Localisation Wave + Bundled-Font Overhaul (2026-05-19)

    Multi-language pass plus a long-standing first-frame HITCH lands
    as a side effect of a font-stack rewrite.

    User-visible:

    • 24 selectable UI languages (was 2). Catalan, Czech, Danish,
      Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian,
      Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese
      (BR + PT), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish,
      Ukrainian, Simplified + Traditional Chinese. Sorted by endonym,
      "None" pinned first. Non-native locales are AI-assisted and
      flagged for native-speaker review via the Forge Discord.
    • Bundled Inter Light replaces Exo 2 (SIL OFL 1.1, 343 KB). The
      Inter font ships Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic and
      Cyrillic Supplement coverage; NotoSansCjkRegular joins as a
      third merge layer for Hangul and Simplified-Han glyphs the
      FFXIV Japanese game font does not ship.
    • First-frame HITCH dropped from ~74 ms (v1.5.2 baseline that
      held since v1.4.x) to a median of ~20 ms (5-reload sample
      17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine). The bundled-font path silently
      fell back to the FFXIV Axis font for the entire v1.5.x series
      because of an early-return in the draw loop. The fix that
      routes RegularFont through draw also lands the defer-pattern
      win the v1.5.1 cycle was reaching for.
    • ExtraGlyphRanges auto-activates on language change. Korean,
      ChineseFull and the two new flags (LatinExtended, Greek) toggle
      on without a manual visit to Fonts and Colours.
    • New WarningText under the language dropdown notes FFXIV's
      chat input only fully supports EN/DE/FR/JA character sets.
      Other languages render in HellionChat but may garble when
      typed into in-game chat.

    Under the hood:

    • Three-layer font stack: Inter Light primary, FFXIV
      JapaneseFont merge 1 for kana/kanji style, NotoSansCjkRegular
      merge 2 for everything else CJK.
    • LanguageOverride enum gains ten locales plus three previously
      commented out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian as nb). New
      values append to the enum so existing config integers stay
      stable across update.
    • Crowdin gap closed: four post-sync ChatTwo keys backfilled
      into 13 legacy locales with per-key AI markers.
    • Plugin.LoadAsync runs a one-shot migration that ORs in the
      matching ExtraGlyphRanges flag for users already on a
      non-default language. Settings.Apply auto-activates on
      change going forward.
    • Em-dash sweep across the EN source and 18 translations to the
      house style. Russian and Ukrainian keep the typographic norm.

    Migration v17 stays. UseHellionFont users transition from Exo 2
    to Inter Light transparently on first reload.

    v1.5.2 — First-Run Wizard Rework (2026-05-18)

    UX patch. The first-run wizard becomes a four-step flow with a
    new Roleplay privacy profile and a power-settings step that
    surfaces previously-hidden defaults. Existing v1.5.1 users see
    the new wizard once on first v1.5.2 boot.

    What changes user-visible:

    • Wizard navigation: Welcome → Privacy profile → Power settings
      → Done. Forge-Bronze pagination dots, dedicated stage for the
      power settings so they are no longer buried in Settings.
    • Fourth privacy profile "Roleplay": Privacy-First plus Say and
      both emote types, with a 30-day window for Say and a 90-day
      window for emotes. Shout, Yell and Novice Network stay out.
    • Privacy picker becomes a 2x2 grid. Casual stays the
      recommended option with a ★ marker.
    • Power-settings step covers Load Previous Session, Filter
      Include Previous Sessions, Auto-Tell-Tabs History Preload,
      Compact Density, Prettier Timestamps and a built-in theme
      picker. All six map to existing Configuration fields — no new
      settings introduced.
    • Staged commit: the wizard only writes to Config on the Finish
      step. Decide-later or X-close at any point leaves the existing
      config untouched.
    • Inline test hint on the done step: "type /tell
      into chat" surfaces the auto-tell-tab spawn mechanism.
    • Window starts at 720x480 (was 900x560) and can shrink to
      600x400; Step 1 keeps the fox banner in a folded TreeNode so
      the onboarding copy stays primary.
    • Existing users get the new wizard surfaced once on first boot
      after the update via the new WizardLastShownVersion config
      field. Future cycles bump the constant only when the wizard
      itself changes shape.

    Under the hood:

    • WizardStateSmokeStep added to /xlperf alongside the FontManager
      and ThemeSwitch self-tests.
    • Twelve new pure-helper xUnit Facts in the Build Suite cover
      all four privacy profile sets and their retention overrides.

    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump). The Configuration grows
    one optional string field (WizardLastShownVersion) which
    defaults to empty for legacy users.

    v1.5.1 — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)

    Hybrid FontManager refactor plus an embedded provenance mark.

    What changes under the hood:

    • FontManager handle creation moves into the ctor inside a single
      atlas.SuppressAutoRebuild() block. The font atlas now builds once
      per plugin load instead of four to five times — less CPU and GPU
      pressure in the first seconds after a reload, less atlas texture
      memory churn.
    • Hybrid property model: Axis, AxisItalic and FontAwesome become
      init-only handles. RegularFont and ItalicFont stay mutable because
      the eight font settings still need to replace them at runtime —
      that path is funnelled through RebuildDelegateFonts() now and
      runs without a plugin reload.
    • FontAwesome reuses Dalamud's UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle
      instead of building its own atlas slot. One delegate-build step
      less in the ctor.
    • BuildFontsAsync and BuildFonts are removed; the live mutation
      path is RebuildDelegateFonts() now.
    • Two FontManager self-test steps registered with /xlperf: ctor
      smoke (every handle non-null after Phase-1 resolve, no atlas
      load-exception) and push smoke (Push() returns without throwing).

    Honorific full-gradient port (originally the v1.5.1 main item) was
    dropped: Honorific 3.2 exposes no IPC for the rendered gradient
    frame, and an in-plugin port of the colour palette was declined.
    The integration stays at the v1.4.7 glow-only shape.

    User-visible:

    • Hellion Forge signature: a small fox-head ASCII silhouette is
      emitted to /xllog on every plugin load, and a full fox banner
      with "Hellion Forge" set inside the body is available as a
      folded TreeNode in the First-Run Wizard and Settings ->
      Information tab. Drawn by Julia Moon, embedded in the plugin DLL.
    • No settings changes, no migration. v17 stays.

    Note on performance: the cross-plugin baseline target from v1.5.0
    (matching Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger at ~7 ms HITCH) did
    not land this cycle. HITCH stays around 80 ms because the cost is
    in the UiBuilder first-frame render path, not in the atlas build
    (which this cycle did reduce from 4-5 builds per load to 1). A
    first-frame render investigation is reserved for a later cycle.

    v1.5.0 — DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)

    Major architecture cycle. The plugin bootstrap moves to a
    generic-host DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +
    IServiceCollection) modelled on Lightless Sync. Service logging
    moves from a static Plugin.LogProxy locator to typed
    Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger via constructor injection,
    bridged over Dalamud's IPluginLog by a custom DalamudLogger trio.

    What changes under the hood:

    • 18 instance-class services migrate to ILogger via constructor
      injection across four slices: data layer (MessageStore,
      MessageManager, AutoTellTabsService), IPC and integrations
      (HonorificService, IpcManager, TypingIpc, ExtraChat, the three
      GameFunctions classes), UI window layer (ChatLogWindow,
      DbViewer, Popout, three settings tabs), and root (Commands,
      ThemeRegistry, PayloadHandler).
    • Plugin.LogProxy stays in place for the eight buckets ctor
      injection cannot reach: static helpers (EmoteCache,
      AutoTranslate, MemoryUtil, WrapperUtil), Dalamud-reflected
      types (Configuration), the Message data class, and instance
      classes that only log from static methods (FontManager, one
      GameFunctions site).
    • Plugin.cs finishes at 1012 lines — virtually identical to the
      pre-cycle 1013. The new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge
      wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations
      that previously lived in LoadAsync.
    • Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance penalty against
      Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2
      74 ms median. Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger sit around
      7 ms by deferring their font-atlas build past Finished
      loading — that pattern is the v1.5.1 follow-up.

    User-visible:

    • Slash-command insert fix: pasting a slash command into the
      chat input (Friend List "/tell" action, plugin-driven inserts
      from Artisan, AllaganTools etc.) now replaces the existing
      input instead of concatenating. Cherry-picked from ChatTwo
      upstream ee7768ac with namespace adaptation.

    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).

    v1.4.10 — Symbol-Picker and Tell-History Fix (2026-05-16)

    Eleventh and final sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series.
    Symbol picker for the chat input, a tell-history reload fix for
    users with many active partners, and a closing cleanup sweep
    before v1.5.0 picks up the DI-container adoption.

    • Symbol picker: a small smile-icon button left of the channel
      indicator opens a popup with two tabs. The first lists all 161
      FFXIV PUA glyphs (Dalamud's SeIconChar enum); the second
      carries 97 server-verified BMP symbols (latin marks, currency,
      the full Greek alphabet, geometric shapes, suits, notes) —
      every one of them round-tripped through /echo and /say in a
      four-round probe so the in-channel render matches what the
      picker shows. Click drops the glyph at the caret, multi-insert
      keeps the popup open, and a recent-used strip floats the last
      sixteen picks across both tabs. Toggle in Settings → Chat →
      Message behaviour, default on.
    • Pinned auto-tell tabs reload their full history again: a
      hidden 500-row scan cap in PreloadHistory used to override the
      user-configurable AutoTellTabsHistoryPreload setting, so
      less-frequent pinned partners (rare /tell sessions in an
      otherwise busy week) lost their backlog. The cap is removed;
      the (Receiver, Date) index keeps SQL fast, the client-side
      loop still respects your setting as the upper bound.
    • Slash-command teardown: /hellion, /hellionView,
      /hellionDebugger (and #if DEBUG /hellionSeString) wrappers are
      now cached as private fields. Plugin teardown detaches the
      live registration instead of re-Register'ing with identical
      args — closes a latent maintenance hazard from v1.4.9.
    • v1.4.x polish-sweep wraps up here. The ImGuiListClipper render
      refactor that was on the v1.4.10 reserve list got dropped
      after cross-platform smoke showed the scroll rubber-band is a
      Wine / Linux render-pipeline quirk, not universal — Windows
      users never saw it. It will get its own platform-targeted
      spike in a later patch. Next major cycle is v1.5.0 with the
      DI-container adoption (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +
      ILogger) modelled on Lightless.
    • Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).

    v1.4.9 — Plugin-Load Render Polish (2026-05-15)

    Tenth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. First-frame
    render cost drops from ~127 ms median to ~76 ms median,
    comfortably under Dalamud's 100 ms HITCH warning threshold.

    • First-frame defer: six non-essential rendering sections inside
      ChatLogWindow skip their first Draw and run one frame later
      (bottom status bar, channel-name SeString chunks, window bounds
      check, v0.6.1 hint banner, autocomplete, input-preview
      calculation). User-visible delay is ~17 ms at 60 fps, hidden
      inside the post-reload font-atlas build window.
    • Slash-command centralisation: /hellion, /hellionView,
      /hellionSeString and /hellionDebugger are registered in
      LoadAsync instead of inside the corresponding window
      constructors. The plugin-manager Open and configuration buttons
      hang on the same path.
    • Plugin-load profiling logs stay on at Information level
      (MessageStore connect/migrate, FilterAllTabs, auto-translate
      warmup) as a regression tripwire — a future load past 100 ms
      will show up in /xllog without a Debug filter.
    • ChatTwo IPC compatibility layer: HellionChat now mirrors
      ChatTwo's full IPC surface (GetChatInputState,
      ChatInputStateChanged, Register, Unregister, Available,
      Invoke) under the ChatTwo.* namespace in addition to our
      existing HellionChat.* provider gates. Third-party
      integrations that historically only subscribe to ChatTwo's
      IPC — for example Artisan's and AllaganTools' context-menu
      hooks — keep working without requiring a code change on their
      side. Conflict detection prevents ChatTwo from loading in
      parallel with HellionChat, so there is no slot-collision risk
      at runtime.
    • Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).

    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

    v1.4.8 — Hook-Layer and Polish Quick-Wins (2026-05-14)

    Ninth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Hook-layer
    cluster (DbViewer FTS5 full-text search, ad-block foundation
    investigation) plus three polish quick-wins.

    • DbViewer full-text search: optional FTS5 index across the full
      chat history. Built asynchronously on first load after the
      update with a progress toast. The local page-filter remains
      available as the default mode. Queries match as exact phrases
      -- multi-word terms must appear together in order; advanced
      users can opt into raw FTS5 MATCH syntax by wrapping their own
      double-quotes.
    • Custom theme files now auto-reload when edited while the theme
      is active -- no need to re-click the theme in the picker.
    • Retention sweep no longer blocks the framework thread, removing
      the ~194ms mini-hitch per sweep.
    • Status bar renders correctly at Windows display scaling > 100%.
    • Receive-suppressed-tells routing investigated this cycle and
      postponed to v1.5.x: when other plugins suppress tells via
      CheckMessageHandled, the FFXIV chat pipeline skips the
      RaptureLogModule.AddMsgSourceEntry path so HellionChat's
      ContentIdResolverHook does not fire and tell-partner
      identification breaks. The fix belongs next to the planned
      ad-block hook layer where the same patch surface comes up.
    • Internal: messages.Id is declared BLOB but stored as TEXT
      (Microsoft.Data.Sqlite Guid binding). FTS bulk insert and
      LoadByGuids match the TEXT storage form on both sides.
      Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).

    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
