πŸŽ‰ SNATCH v1.6.0 - Major Release

Release Date: January 8, 2026


πŸš€ Complete Rewrite with Dear ImGui

SNATCH v1.6.0 marks a revolutionary milestone in the project's history. This release represents a complete ground-up rewrite of the application, transitioning from traditional Win32 GDI+ to the modern Dear ImGui framework with DirectX 11 rendering.

🌟 Why This Release is Special

After 5 major versions using Win32 dialogs, we've completely reimagined SNATCH with a focus on:

  • Modern aesthetics with premium dark theme
  • GPU-accelerated rendering for buttery-smooth 60 FPS
  • Professional design inspired by modern applications
  • Enhanced user experience with improved workflow

This is not just an updateβ€”it's a complete transformation of SNATCH into a truly modern desktop application.
