Caster's Compendium v0.1.2

Caster's Compendium v0.1.2

This release adds a built-in user guide, data-driven keyword filtering, appearance settings, and faster first-time card-data setup.

What's new

• Added a Keyword card-search filter. Its choices are extracted from the current ability data instead of a hard-coded list. The bundled database currently produces Break, Double Corrupt, Enter, Hubris, Last Words, Quickcast, Rest, Slow Start, Unity, and Universal.
• Keyword searches now match declared ability labels only. A card that merely mentions another card gaining or losing Break is not treated as a Break card.
• Collapsed duplicate upstream printings that point to the exact same artwork in search results, preferring the lower canonical card number. This keeps Passion Wing and Pentachi on their DD printings while retaining old PR IDs for saved-deck compatibility. The distinct Passion Wing Saaya promo remains available.
• Added How to Use to the main menu, with explanations for creating/loading decks, adding and removing cards, drag-and-drop, sorting, saving, and exporting.
• Documented the non-obvious removal action: right-click a card in the Main Deck or Side Deck to remove one copy.
• Added persistent System, Light, and Dark appearance settings.
• Added a hash-verified GitHub card-data and image fast path for faster initial setup when the published snapshot matches the live card list.

The editor can load editable JSON decks or text decklists, export text decklists, and export both main-deck and sideboard Tabletop Simulator image sheets.

Installation

Windows 10/11 x64

1. Download CastersCompendium-windows-amd64.exe.
2. Move it to a permanent folder if desired, then double-click it.
3. Because this release is not yet code-signed, Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. Choose More info, verify that the file came from this release page, then choose Run anyway.

No installer is required. A current graphics driver with OpenGL support is required; virtual machines may need their guest graphics driver or Mesa software OpenGL.

macOS Apple Silicon

1. Download CastersCompendium-macos-apple-silicon.zip for M1, M2, M3, M4, or later Apple Silicon Macs.
2. Unzip it and move Caster's Compendium.app to Applications.
3. Because this release is not yet signed and notarized, Control-click the app, choose Open, then confirm Open on first launch.

macOS Intel

1. Download CastersCompendium-macos-intel.zip.
2. Unzip it and move Caster's Compendium.app to Applications.
3. Because this release is not yet signed and notarized, Control-click the app, choose Open, then confirm Open on first launch.

Debian and Ubuntu x64

Download casters-compendium_0.1.2_amd64.deb, then run:

sudo apt install ./casters-compendium_0.1.2_amd64.deb

Arch Linux x64

Download casters-compendium-0.1.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, then run:

sudo pacman -U ./casters-compendium-0.1.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Other x64 Linux distributions

Download CastersCompendium-linux-amd64.tar.xz, then run either a per-user installation:

tar -xJf CastersCompendium-linux-amd64.tar.xz
cd CastersCompendium
make user-install

or a system-wide installation:

tar -xJf CastersCompendium-linux-amd64.tar.xz

Notes

• The first launch downloads the current card database, images, and thumbnails. Later launches reuse the local cache and perform a lightweight card-list hash check.
• Existing user data remains under the stable application ID io.github.hybriduofa.casterdeckbuilder.
• macOS and Windows artifacts are currently unsigned. Signing and macOS notarization can be added after the required publisher accounts and certificates are provisioned.

v0.1.1

Caster's Compendium v0.1.1

Choose the single download that matches your computer. No Go installation or
source-code checkout is required. On first launch, Caster's Compendium needs an
internet connection while it downloads and prepares the card database.

Windows x64

File: CastersCompendium-windows-amd64.exe

1. Download the .exe and move it to a permanent location, such as a
   Caster's Compendium folder in Documents or Program Files.
2. Double-click the file to start the application. This is a portable
   executable; there is no separate installer.
3. Because this release is not code-signed, Windows SmartScreen may appear. If
   it does, select More info, verify that the app name is correct, and then
   select Run anyway.
4. Optionally right-click the file and create a desktop or Start-menu shortcut.

   Caster's Compendium.app.
2. Drag Caster's Compendium.app into the Applications folder.
