The public story of Beta 4, from the core release through the current Release Candidate.

Current

Version 1.0 Beta 4 RC1 1.0.4.25

11 August 2026
  • Promoted the validated A24 behaviour to Release Candidate 1.
  • Added conservative release-build protection to discourage casual decompilation and rebranding.
  • Retained the corrected ACTIVE state in Mod Details regardless of which list is used for selection.
  • Added product metadata, proprietary freeware licence and an official-distribution notice.

A18–A22 · Source links, Credits and presentation

  • FILE links reveal and select exact local packages in Windows Explorer.
  • Added project Credits for Allan Campbell and beta testers PugXXL, Marian, Jerry, OpenBusiness and JacobKazias.
  • Aligned top-right branding and credits presentation.

A16–A17 · Possible Local + Steam matches

  • Added a conservative advisory when local and Workshop items share a normalized title and author evidence.
  • Shows each source's version separately without choosing a winner or merging identity.
  • Added a dedicated Status filter for reviewing the candidates.
  • Fixed resolved local filenames not reaching Mod Details.

A13–A15 · Selection and loading polish

  • Each newly selected mod returns Mod Details to the top.
  • Profile flyout closes cleanly before the loading card appears.
  • Loading feedback is painted before slower profile decoding and catalogue scanning begins.

A11–A12 · Rich Mod Details

  • Added lazy, bounded, read-only manifest artwork loading.
  • Added manifest-declared descriptions with multiline text and supported encoding handling.
  • Supports local ZIP/SCS packages, native HashFS and unpacked or packaged Workshop content.
  • Invalid, unavailable or locked content collapses cleanly without disturbing selection.

A6–A10 · New workspace

  • Replaced the permanent Profiles column with an on-demand profile flyout.
  • Added the Mod Details panel and a fixed, persistent show/hide toggle.
  • Selection tracks correctly between Available Mods and Active Load Order.

Beta 4 foundation

  • Improved same-profile Workshop refresh and missing-reference recovery.
  • Added safer Clear entire load order handling and immediate profile counts after Apply.
  • Refined Duplicate Finder to target accidental local Windows file copies while remaining read-only.
