What's new

  • In-app update check on launch. Tideline now asks the GitHub release feed (via Velopack) for a newer version exactly once per session. If one is found, the package downloads in the background and a banner appears at the top of the window: "Tideline X.Y.Z is ready to install. Restart to apply." Click Restart and install and Velopack swaps the app on relaunch.
    • Never blocks launch. Network failures land in crash.log and are otherwise silent.
    • Skipped in dev / source builds (no Velopack install metadata).
  • Dev brand. Debug builds now display as Tideline Development with a distinct orange wave logo (vs the blue wave for releases). Window title, tray tooltip, capture overlay title all switch. Combined with the Tideline-dev data folder, a dotnet run is visually and functionally isolated from your installed copy.
  • Capture overlay polish.
    • White system border removed via DWMWA_BORDER_COLOR = COLOR_NONE, applied on first activation so the Windows 11 default does not override it.
    • Hotkey-triggered captures now steal foreground and focus the text input immediately (AttachThreadInput + SetForegroundWindow + FocusState.Keyboard), so you can start typing right away even if another app had focus.
  • Stream Deck plugin install fix. The v0.1.2 bundle was missing bin/plugin.js because the bin/ folder matched the .NET build-output gitignore. The rule is now scoped so the plugin entry ships in the bundle.
  • Capture helper bundled in installs. tideline-capture.exe lives at %LocalAppData%\Tideline\current\tideline-capture.exe alongside Tideline.exe.
