State what the software does, not what it used to do
Twelve lines across eight pages read as release notes rather than as a
manual: behaviour defined against the version it replaced (now, previously,
in place of, the historical behaviour), limitations pinned to a release (in
this version), implementation rationale aimed at a maintainer (which all
drive these actions through one shared API, twice), and announcement
register (flagship, first-class, every hook is wired).
The reader is on the current version and has no earlier one to compare
against, so each of these is now a plain statement of present behaviour.
Document Vapor Customize, the loading screen and the cover reshaping
- Themes: new section for arranging a Vapor page in place, covering the edit
bar, dragging, hiding, the big-card side and what Reset layout clears.
Corrects the claim that home sections are only arranged from Settings, and
the stale note that Vapor shows checkboxes without arrows: under Vapor the
Settings block is not rendered at all.
- ROMs: a screenshot of the artwork loading screen and the resume notice, the
7/6 jewel-case ratio, and the fact that replacing a cover by hand now
reshapes its tile instead of keeping the old frame.
- Plugin Development: the homeSections writes and managedSettings.
ROMs & Emulation: document the new artwork-based loading screen
Document the Dashboard, emulator saves, home play rails, and the media proxy
- New Dashboard page (admin Server overview + user Your activity, the live
admin-only feed, the __GD__.dashboard theme API) + sidebar entry.
- ROMs & Emulation: the Game Saves panel (nine-slot rail, battery tile, play
from a save, upload/download, ZIP export and restore, quota); saves now live
under data/saves, not data/resources.
- Themes: Continue playing / Recently played rails on the home page, toggled
and reordered under Settings > Libraries; Plugin Development + the home
sections API gain orderable and per-option defaults.
- Installation/Configuration: the required data/saves volume with an upgrade
note, GD_SAVES_PATH and GD_SKIP_SAVE_DEDUPE, and the moved save paths.
- Network & Security: ScreenScraper cover art is proxied credential-free.
docs: correct configurability claims to match real Settings UI (upload/quota limits, GOG auto-adopt, per-game access, session revoke, ROM path)
docs: theme-comparison galleries (Collections, ROMs, Themes, Library) + wizard language shot
docs: add screenshots (img/) across pages, theme galleries, fix wizard steps
docs: add all feature, plugin, security and reverse-proxy pages (wiki complete)
