Pomodoro Bar v1.1.6

[1.1.6] - 2026-10-11

Channel: Prod. Release · Changes since 1.1.5.

• Record the installed 1.1.5 CPU/RAM baseline and isolated refresh scenarios in RESOURCE-AUDIT.md before making optimizations; preserve the original measurements and their limitations.
• Replace continuous 10 Hz UI polling with state-aware countdown, milestone, and rounded end-preview scheduling; skip hidden/minimized UI and animate only visible alerts. Catch up on Windows resume and clock changes.
• Cache countdown layout/text, immutable drawing resources, session labels, and parsed drafts. Preserve immediate draft previews, completion acknowledgement, independent windows, and uniformly scaled controls.
• Replace WinForms tray/monitor dependencies with native shell and monitor interop, using the embedded channel icon, native menu actions, keyboard activation, and Explorer restart recovery.
• Add scheduling/tray regressions and a reproducible silent seven-state resource harness; measure old and optimized builds sequentially before publishing performance claims.
• Verify 191 native assertions, eight changelog assertions, clean Dev/Release builds, self-contained Release and Dev startup smoke, and normal/tiny/editor UI captures. Record 18–24% lower resident RAM and 78–98% lower allocation churn in the matched seven-state runs; preserve visible-running CPU variability and the rejected software-rendering tradeoff in the audit.

Pomodoro Bar v1.1.5

[1.1.5] - 2026-10-11

Channel: Prod. Release · Changes since 1.1.4.

Added

• Show the current section's estimated end time beneath the editor countdown, updating immediately as a valid duration is typed and as presets/countdown change. Round the resulting clock time to the nearest minute, with 30-second ties rounded forward and next-day dates labeled.
• Distinguish paused start-now estimates and unsaved running drafts from the actual running timer's end; keep existing draft protection and show a prompt for invalid/incomplete durations.
• Set up this versioned Dev/Prod changelog and preserve the full request checklist separately.
• Require changelog updates in main/PR checks and a matching dated entry before packaging a production release.
• Generate release notes from this log for GitHub releases, keeping the published notes and repository history consistent; backfill the notes for 1.0.0 through 1.1.4.

Verification

• Pass eight changelog regression assertions, all 168 native assertions, Dev/Release builds, and editor UI captures. Cover rounding boundaries, next-day rollover, immediate draft preview, invalid drafts, and stable running countdown estimates.

Pomodoro Bar v1.1.4

[1.1.4] - 2026-10-11

Channel: Prod. Release · Changes since 1.1.3.

Fixed

• Match Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts to the same native executable. The local install helper previously changed only Desktop to the root launcher, producing duplicate application search results.
• Retain confirmed duplicate launch shortcuts outside Desktop/Start Menu indexing; preserve custom command shortcuts and backups.

Added

• Block release upload unless a clean Windows installation passes physical-path, shortcut-target, icon, and duplicate-shortcut checks before any repair helper runs.

Verification

• 158 native regression assertions, Dev/Release builds, startup smoke, real duplicate detection/retirement and repeat-repair checks, clean installer CI, and local installed-version/shortcut verification.

Pomodoro Bar v1.1.3

[1.1.3] - 2026-10-11

Channel: Prod. Release · Changes since 1.1.2.

Fixed

• Explicitly suppress shell execution and console windows for update apply/restart helpers.
• Launch local installation and release verification through a hidden script host instead of showing PowerShell; preserve exit codes.

Verification

• 158 native assertions, including a real PowerShell console-window probe; Dev/Release builds, startup smoke, CI, installed update, and restart verification.

Pomodoro Bar v1.1.2

[1.1.2] - 2026-10-11

Channel: Prod. Release · Changes since 1.1.1.

Changed

• Replace the update dropdown with one action beside version, status, and update timestamps. It disables while checking/downloading and becomes Update and restart when a verified update is ready.
• Remove Quit app and Done from the editor; keep independent window close behavior and tray/bar Quit.

Verification

• 153 native assertions, Dev/Release builds, UI captures, startup smoke, CI, and installed production verification.

[1.1.1] - 2026-10-11

[1.1.0] - 2026-10-11

[1.0.4] - 2026-10-11
