## Hellion Chat 1.4.3 — Plugin-Load Async-Init + Repo-Cutover (2026-05-08)
|
||
|
||
Plugin lifecycle migrated to Dalamud's `IAsyncDalamudPlugin`
|
||
API. The constructor now does only the bootstrap-essentials
|
||
(config load, language init, conflict detection); migrations,
|
||
service allocations, window construction and hook subscription
|
||
move to `LoadAsync`. Dalamud can keep its UI responsive while
|
||
the heavy work runs.
|
||
|
||
- `IAsyncDalamudPlugin` two-phase load with per-line
|
||
`CaptureFailure` in `DisposeAsync` (mirrors LightlessSync's
|
||
pattern); idempotency guard protects against reload races
|
||
- Schema-gate replaces the v9 → v16 migration chain. Configs
|
||
on schema v16+ load directly; older configs trigger an
|
||
"install v1.4.2 first" error so the historic migration
|
||
path stays intact
|
||
- `AutoTranslate.PreloadCache` moved off the load path. First
|
||
use may have a sub-second hitch instead of every-load; the
|
||
upstream chose differently, we accept first-use latency
|
||
- `FontManager.BuildFonts` is called sync at the start of
|
||
`LoadAsync`; Dalamud rebuilds the font atlas on its own
|
||
pipeline so the custom Hellion-Exo2 font appears with a
|
||
brief font-pop after load (matches ChatTwo's behaviour)
|
||
- Custom-repo URL moved to
|
||
`gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat`.
|
||
GitHub repo stays as a frozen v1.4.2 snapshot; new
|
||
releases ship from Gitea. Existing testers need to
|
||
update the custom-repo URL once
|
||
- Plugin-load time in this release sits at ~3.7 s median
|
||
(5 reloads), comparable to v1.4.2. Async migration is
|
||
foundational for v1.4.4 Lazy-Init optimisations rather
|
||
than an immediate user-perceived win

|
||
## Hellion Chat 1.4.2 — ChatLog Frame-Hot-Path
|
||
|
||
Third sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Per-frame
|
||
allocations from the chat-log render path eliminated.
|
||
|
||
- `DrawMessages` card-mode hoists `theme`/`drawList`/`winLeft`/
|
||
`winRight`/`borderColorAbgr` out of the per-message loop. About
|
||
500 redundant calls per frame at 100 visible messages, multiplied
|
||
by every pop-out window
|
||
- Auto-tell tab tint and icon use a per-tab cache. Hash
|
||
computation and string allocation only happen when the tell
|
||
target name or world drifts. `AutoTellTabTint` stays a pure
|
||
hash helper; cache lives in a thin `TabTintCache` wrapper
|
||
- Status bar gates its tab aggregation behind the same
|
||
one-second cache it already used for the format strings.
|
||
LINQ `Sum` and `Count` replaced with a single `foreach` pass
|
||
that runs on roughly 1 % of frames
|
||
|
||
Realistic frame-time recovery: 2-5 % in typical scenes, more
|
||
on pop-out-heavy setups because the card-border hoist scales
|
||
per window.

||
|
||
## Hellion Chat 1.4.1 — Theme Engine Performance
|
||
|
||
Second sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Heap
|
||
pressure from the theme engine's per-frame render path
|
||
removed, plus a tenth built-in theme and hardening for
|
||
the custom-theme hot-reload.
|
||
|
||
- Theme records carry a pre-computed ABGR-packed cache
|
||
for every color slot; cache is filled when the theme
|
||
is registered and refreshed defensively on every
|
||
`Switch()`
|
||
- `HellionStyle.PushGlobal` reads ABGR values from the
|
||
cache instead of calling `ColourUtil.RgbaToAbgr` per
|
||
slot per frame; ~13 % render-time recovery measured
|
||
in typical scenes (plan estimate was 2–6 %, real
|
||
~10–15 %)
|
||
- `ThemeRegistry` custom-theme reload distinguishes a
|
||
recoverable file lock (editor mid-save) from a
|
||
permanent IO failure; locked themes keep their
|
||
last-known-good snapshot and retry on the next
|
||
lookup instead of dropping out of the picker
|
||
- New built-in: **Synthwave Sunset** — Hot Magenta + Cyan
|
||
on midnight violet, 80s neon-grid vibes; tenth theme
|
||
in the picker
|
||
- Author credits refreshed: brand themes are credited
|
||
as "Hellion Forge"; **Mint Grove** and **Forge
|
||
Merchantman** now credited to **Carla Beleandis** as
|
||
a community thanks
|
||
|
||
No schema bump, no user-visible behaviour change other
|
||
than smoother frames on GC-sensitive setups and one
|
||
additional colour option.

||
|
||
## Hellion Chat 1.4.0 — Critical Lifecycle Fixes
|
||
|
||
First sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Seven
|
||
known lifecycle and race bugs eliminated before any
|
||
performance refactor sits on top.
|
||
|
||
- MessageStore disposal no longer triggers GC.Collect
|
||
globally; Pooling=false on the SQLite connection means
|
||
there's nothing left to clean up by hand
|
||
- PendingMessage and RetentionSweep worker threads are
|
||
explicitly marked IsBackground=true so the plugin domain
|
||
can unload during XIVLauncher reload without waiting
|
||
for them
|
||
- EmoteCache image and gif loaders moved from async-void
|
||
to async Task with a shared task tracker, draining
|
||
on Dispose so an in-flight load can no longer write
|
||
to a disposed EmoteImages entry
|
||
- DisposeAsync 10s timeout now warns loudly instead of
|
||
silently leaving the worker behind
|
||
- Plugin.Dispose flushes any pending DeferredSaveFrames
|
||
before tearing services down, so settings changes
|
||
made in the last few frames before disable are no
|
||
longer lost
|
||
- The v13→v14 config migration now reads the pre-v13
|
||
backup and carries HellionThemeWindowOpacity into the
|
||
new WindowOpacity field instead of falling back to
|
||
the default 0.85

|
||
|
||
## Hellion Chat 1.3.0 - Plugin Integrations: Honorific
|
||
|
||
First step on the plugin-integration roadmap. HellionChat now
|
||
listens to Honorific and shows your custom title in the chat
|
||
header. The slot auto-hides when Honorific is not installed,
|
||
when no custom title is active, or when you are using the
|
||
original FFXIV title.
|
||
|
||
- New "Integrations" settings tab
|
||
- Honorific integration with auto-detection and live updates
|
||
- "Coming soon" preview of the next five planned integrations:
|
||
context menu actions, smart notifications, RP status block,
|
||
ExtraChat channels, and quick DM compose
|
||
- Maintainer attribution buttons for Honorific repo and Caraxi
|
||
- New service-class pattern under HellionChat/Integrations/

|
||
## v1.2.3 — Theme Expansion (2026-05-06)
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
- Four new built-in themes:
|
||
- **Night Blue** — Royal Blue on deep marine, cool tech-dashboard mood
|
||
- **Indigo Violet** — Royal Violet on deep indigo with a turquoise-mint counter (aurora glitter feel)
|
||
- **Forge Merchantman** — Patina bronze on workshop slate with warm amber counter (Hellion Forge identity)
|
||
- **Hellion Spectrum** — Deuteran/Protan-safe channel colours using Wong/Okabe-Ito palette tones; channel identity (Tell pink, Yell yellow, Shout orange, Party blue, FC green) preserved while keeping every channel separable under red-green colour vision deficiency
|
||
- Built-in theme catalogue grown from five to nine
|
||
|
||
### Notes
|
||
- No engine changes, no settings touched, no migration
|
||
- Default theme unchanged (Hellion Arctic). Existing custom themes keep working.
|
||
- Hellion Spectrum covers the ~99 % of CVD cases that are red-green; a Tritan-safe variant could follow in a later cycle if there is demand.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## v1.2.1 — Settings Cleanup (2026-05-06)
|
||
|
||
### Changed
|
||
- Settings cards re-sorted thematically: 9 cards remain, each card has one clear job and a one-line subtitle.
|
||
- **Theme & Layout** (new) collects the theme picker, window frame style (title bar, sidebar, hide button, pop-out title bar) and the timestamp style options.
|
||
- **Fonts & Colours** (new) houses font choice, font size and per-channel chat colours.
|
||
- **Data Management** (new) collects retention windows, cleanup, export, the database viewer and the shift-click advanced tools.
|
||
- **Privacy** is now focused on the privacy filter alone.
|
||
- **Chat** absorbs the Auto-Tell-Tabs history-preload slider that used to live under Privacy.
|
||
- **General** groups the keybind mode under Input.
|
||
|
||
### Removed
|
||
- Legacy "Style override" option and the unused style-name field — both obsolete since the v1.1.0 themes engine.
|
||
- Legacy `WindowAlpha` slider — if you had it set, the value is auto-migrated to Theme & Layout → Window Style → Window Transparency.
|
||
- Unused `ShowThemeQuickPicker` schema field.
|
||
|
||
### Migration
|
||
- v15 → v16 with backup at `pluginConfigs/HellionChat.json.pre-v16-backup`.
|
||
- All other settings preserved unchanged.
|
||
- One-time toast on first start if Style override was previously active.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## v1.2.0 — Layout Refresh (2026-05-05)
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
- Sidebar tab modernization: icon-only at fixed 44 px, tooltip on hover, vertical accent pill for active tab
|
||
- Top tabs: accent underline pill replaces background fill on active tab
|
||
- Per-tab custom icons in Settings → Tabs (15-glyph FontAwesome picker)
|
||
- Bottom status bar (22 px): channel indicator, privacy badge, counters, tells, version — updates 1×/sec
|
||
- Card rows as default message render: sender header in channel color, subtle border between cards
|
||
- Compact-Density toggle in Appearance: switches back to single-line `[HH:mm] Sender: Text` layout
|
||
- Auto-Tell tabs: per-partner hashed icon (7-glyph pool: envelope/star/heart/bell/bookmark/flag/fire) plus hashed color (12-color palette) — 84 distinct icon+color combinations
|
||
- Unread indicator: pulsing red dot in the top-right corner of any sidebar tab icon with unread messages, 2-second sine-wave pulse, respects `Configuration.ReduceMotion`
|
||
|
||
### Changed
|
||
- Migration v14 → v15: deprecated Configuration fields `HellionThemeEnabled` and `HellionThemeWindowOpacity` removed
|
||
- Appearance settings cleaned: legacy theme-engine bindings replaced by Themes tab (introduced in v1.1.0)
|
||
|
||
### Fixed
|
||
- Settings save no longer wipes chat history by default — the heavy `ClearAllTabs + FilterAllTabsAsync` cycle now only runs when a filter-relevant setting actually changed (Privacy filter, persisted channels, per-tab channel selection). Cosmetic changes keep the in-session chat intact
|
||
- Identifier-based `MessageList` restore in `Configuration.UpdateFrom` plus TempTab skip in `ClearAllTabs`/`FilterAllTabs` ensure persistent tabs and Auto-Tell tabs both survive the save
|
||
- Sidebar buttons now align vertically with the first message row (top padding mirrors the chat header toolbar height)
|
||
- Sidebar child window no longer paints the top padding area with its frame background
|
||
- Status bar version slot (`vX.Y.Z · Hellion`) no longer clips its rightmost character
|
||
|
||
### Notes
|
||
- Polish phase (animations, theme crossfade, header quick-picker) follows in v1.3.0
|
||
- Top-Tab icon prefixes were considered but dropped: Dalamud's default font atlas does not include FontAwesome codepoints, so mixed-font in a single TabItem label renders as tofu. Underline pill alone is the v1.2.0 visual treatment for top tabs. Resolution would require Font-Atlas merge at FontManager level — out of scope.
|
||
|
||
## [1.1.0] — 2026-05-05 — Theme Foundation
|
||
|
||
Erster großer UI-Cycle nach v1.0.0. Theme-Engine, fünf Built-In-Themes,
|
||
Custom-Themes via JSON, Settings-Card-Grid.
|
||
|
||
### Hinzugefügt
|
||
|
||
- **Theme-Engine** mit fünf Built-In-Themes: Hellion Arctic (Default),
|
||
Chat 2 Klassik, Event Horizon, Moonlit Bloom, Mint Grove.
|
||
- **Settings → Themes** mit Mini-Mockup-Preview pro Theme. Klick auf
|
||
eine Card switcht sofort das ganze Plugin (Chat, Settings, Pop-Out).
|
||
- **Custom-Themes via JSON** in `pluginConfigs/HellionChat/themes/`.
|
||
Beim ersten Start wird `example-theme.json` als Vorlage abgelegt.
|
||
- **Optional Theme-Chat-Channel-Colors**: Themes können eigene
|
||
Channel-Farben mitliefern. Beim Switch erscheint ein Banner mit
|
||
*Übernehmen / Behalten* — nie automatisch.
|
||
- **Settings-Card-Grid**: neue Übersicht beim Öffnen, Card-Klick führt
|
||
in die Detail-Ansicht der Section. Breadcrumb + ESC führen zurück.
|
||
- **`docs/THEME-AUTHORING.md`** als Anleitung zum Schreiben eigener
|
||
Themes, mit Hellion-Forge-Branding.
|
||
|
||
### Geändert
|
||
|
||
- **Plugin-Icon** auf Hellion Forge Hammer (vorher ChatTwo-Derivat).
|
||
- **Settings-Detail-View** verwendet die volle Breite — die zweite
|
||
Tab-Liste links ist weg, weil die Card-Übersicht den Wechsel
|
||
übernimmt.
|
||
- **`HellionStyle.PushGlobal`** ist jetzt theme-driven (`PushGlobal(theme,
|
||
opacity)`) statt const-palette-driven.
|
||
- **Configuration v13 → v14**: alle User landen auf `hellion-arctic`.
|
||
Wer den Upstream-Look will, wählt `chat2-classic` in Settings →
|
||
Themes.
|
||
|
||
### Veraltet
|
||
|
||
- `Configuration.HellionThemeEnabled` und `HellionThemeWindowOpacity`
|
||
bleiben für ein Release lesbar als Safety-Net, werden aber nicht
|
||
mehr ausgewertet. Entfernung geplant in v1.2.0.
|
||
|
||
### Sicherheit
|
||
|
||
- Custom-Theme-JSON-Loader prüft `schemaVersion`, Pflichtfelder und
|
||
Hex-Format. Ungültige Themes werden mit Warning übersprungen, das
|
||
Plugin lädt mit Built-Ins weiter.
|
||
|
||
### Intern
|
||
|
||
- 51 lokale Unit-Tests (Theme-Records, Registry, JSON-Round-Trip,
|
||
Sanity pro Built-In-Theme). Tests sind gitignored.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## [1.0.3] — 2026-05-04 — Polish patch
|
||
|
||
Vier kleine Polish-Items aus dem Backlog gebündelt:
|
||
|
||
- **Hide bei New Game+ Menü**: Optionaler globaler Toggle der Hellion
|
||
Chat (und alle weiteren Plugin-Fenster wie Settings, DB-Viewer,
|
||
Pop-Outs) ausblendet, solange das NG+-Menü offen ist. Settings →
|
||
Fenster → Rahmen, Default aus. Skipt analog zum bestehenden
|
||
LoadingScreens-Pattern den gesamten `WindowSystem.Draw()`-Pfad.
|
||
- **Channel-Selector-Färbung**: Optionales Tinting des
|
||
Channel-Auswahl-Knopfs (Comment-Icon) neben dem Eingabefeld in der
|
||
aktuellen Channel-Farbe. Settings → Aussehen → Chat-Farben, Default
|
||
an. Konsistent zur bestehenden Eingabetext-Färbung, ExtraChat-Override
|
||
wird übernommen.
|
||
- **(De)Buff-Icon Aspect-Ratio-Fix**: `PayloadHandler.InlineIcon` quetschte
|
||
alle Hover-Icons auf 32×32. Status-Icons mit nicht-quadratischen
|
||
Dimensionen (Debuffs mit Pfeil-Indikator) sind jetzt aspekt-erhaltend
|
||
geshrinkt. Eigenständige Float-Math-Implementierung mit Zero-Size-Guard
|
||
statt Cherry-Pick aus dem offenen ChatTwo PR #157 (der hatte eine
|
||
int-Division-Falle).
|
||
- **HideState-Logging-Sweep**: Alle HideState-Transitions
|
||
(Battle/Cutscene/User/Override plus die Pop-Out-Spiegelung) loggen sich
|
||
auf Verbose-Level. Aus by default, Aktivierung via
|
||
`/xllog set HellionChat verbose` für Bug-Report-Diagnose.
|
||
|
||
[Release-Notes 1.0.3](https://gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases/tag/v1.0.3)
|
||
|
||
## [1.0.1] — 2026-05-04 — Window Position Recovery
|
||
|
||
Fixes an off-screen-window scenario the user could end up in after a
|
||
monitor disconnect or display layout change between sessions. An
|
||
automatic one-shot bounds check on the first draw after plugin load
|
||
snaps the window back into the visible viewport, and a new
|
||
"Reset Window Position" button in Settings → Window → Frame serves as
|
||
the manual escape hatch for edge cases.
|
||
|
||
Bundled housekeeping since v1.0.0: documentation restructured into
|
||
`docs/`, stale ChatTwo/* paths in repo configs cleaned up, Pidgin
|
||
parser library bumped from 3.3.0 to 3.5.1, GitHub Actions bumps for
|
||
`actions/setup-dotnet` (4 → 5) and `github/codeql-action` (3 → 4).
|
||
|
||
[Release-Notes 1.0.1](https://gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases/tag/v1.0.1)
|
||
|
||
## [1.0.0] — 2026-05-03 — Standalone Major Release
|
||
|
||
Erste vollständig eigenständige Version. Code-Namespace, IPC-Kanäle und
|
||
Source-Tree-Struktur wurden auf `HellionChat.*` konsolidiert. Plugin
|
||
verweigert den Start bei aktivem Upstream Chat 2 (bilinguale
|
||
Konflikt-Meldung). SQLite-Native auf 3.50.3 gepinnt (CVE-2025-6965,
|
||
CVE-2025-7709). Tab-Layout-Default für neue Installationen und für
|
||
User auf Config-Version 12 oder älter neu strukturiert (5 thematische
|
||
Tabs statt 6+ kitchen-sink). Sweep aus Critical- und Major-Findings
|
||
aus dem Codebase-Audit eingearbeitet.
|
||
|
||
[Release-Notes 1.0.0](https://gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases/tag/v1.0.0)
|
||
|
||
## [0.6.1] — 2026-05-03 — Pop-Out Discoverability & /tell Auto-Pop-Out
|
||
|
||
Pop-Out-Button im Chat-Header sichtbar, einmaliger Hint-Banner für die
|
||
Pop-Out-Funktionalität. Neue Einstellung "Neue /tell-Tabs direkt als
|
||
Pop-Out öffnen". Pop-Out-Input ist jetzt standardmäßig aktiv.
|
||
Bugfixes: Ghost-Windows bei LRU-Drop / Logout, Dead-Zone unter dem
|
||
Input-Bar bei aktivem Hint-Banner.

|
||
|
||
## [0.6.0] — 2026-05-03 — UX Polish: Pop-Out Input + Colour Presets
|
||
|
||
Zwei opt-in UX-Features. Pop-Out-Fenster bekommen optional eine
|
||
kompakte Eingabe-Bar mit channel-farbigem Icon-Button und unabhängigem
|
||
Text-Buffer pro Pop-Out. Sieben Built-in-Color-Presets (Klassik,
|
||
High-Contrast, Pastell, Dark-Mode-Tuned, Hellion, Night Blue, Indigo
|
||
Violet) zum One-Click-Apply. Konfigurations-Migration v10 → v11.

|
||
## [0.5.4] — 2026-05-02 — WrapText Hardening
|
||
|
||
`ImGuiUtil.WrapText` von Pointer-Arithmetik auf Span- und
|
||
Index-basierten Control-Flow umgestellt. Schließt das wiederkehrende
|
||
CodeQL-Critical-Alert "unvalidated local pointer arithmetic"
|
||
dauerhaft. Keine nutzersichtbare Verhaltensänderung — Word-Wrap-Output
|
||
ist byte-identisch zu 0.5.3.

||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## [0.5.3] — 2026-05-02 — Pointer Arithmetic Hardening
|
||
|
||
Erster Anlauf zur Schließung des CodeQL-Critical-Alerts in
|
||
`ImGuiUtil.WrapText`. Encoded-Byte-Buffer-Length wird vor der
|
||
Pointer-Arithmetik via `GetByteCount` validiert.
