EasySpecy v0.1.5

[0.1.5] - 2026-06-05

Added

• Single-instance enforcement — Prevents multiple EasySpecy windows; re-launching restores and focuses the existing window.
• Tray menu state management — Menu items now enable/disable based on recording state (Start/Stop/Pause/Resume).
• Tray pause/resume controls — Added "Pause Recording" and "Resume Recording" options to system tray menu.
• Tray "Open" command — Renamed "Show Window" to "Open" for clarity; opens and focuses main app window.

Fixed

• "Reveal in Explorer" context menu — Now correctly opens file explorer with recording highlighted instead of playing the video.
• Toast notifications blocked on Settings page — Increased z-index from 50 to 10000 to prevent Settings header from blocking notifications.
• Tray menu static state — Menu items now dynamically update enabled/disabled state during recording lifecycle.

Changed

• Tray module architecture — Rewritten with state-aware menu item management using MenuItem::set_enabled().

EasySpecy v0.1.4

[0.1.4] - 2026-06-04

Added

• "Mobile Shareable" video encoder — New MobileShareable preset using libx264 + yuv420p for maximum mobile device compatibility.
• GPU encoder toggle — Settings now has an "Enable GPU Encoders" toggle; NVENC options are hidden when disabled, with automatic fallback to CPU encoders.
• Left/right modifier key tracking — Keyboard capture distinguishes LShift/RShift, LCtrl/RCtrl, LAlt/RAlt, LWin/RWin independently.
• Markdown release notes — Update dialog renders release notes with basic markdown (headers, bold, code, lists).
• Vite code-splitting — Manual chunks for motion, UI libs, and Tauri APIs to improve load performance.

Changed

• Keyboard overlay bake pipeline rewritten — Full parity with live JS overlay logic: shortcut combos, shift+key mapping, backspace deletion, arrow keys, punctuation merging. Now matches overlay.html behavior exactly.
• Recording filename format — Changed from recording_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.mp4 to EasySpecy_DD_Month_YYYY_HH_MM_SS.mp4.
• Stop recording order — Keyboard capture stopped before destroying overlay to preserve final key events.
• Keyboard overlay positioning — Config values now treated as physical pixels (removed DPI scale factor multiplication).
• Sync verifier tolerance — Frame count check relaxed from 5% to 20% with effective FPS diagnostics for VFR capture.
• Canvas context — Added { desynchronized: true } hint for lower-latency overlay rendering; removed backdrop-filter for GPU performance.
• Punctuation-append parity — After punctuation, Rust bake pipeline now extends existing bubble (matches JS overlay behavior instead of creating new bubble).
• Render loop cleanup — Added one extra clear frame after effects end to prevent stale pixel artifacts.

Removed

• Password field detection & masking — Entire feature removed due to high overhead (Win32 API + MSAA + cursor-point fallback + COM initialization). Will revisit in future with optimized approach.

Fixed

• Keyboard character case — Use e.key directly instead of manual lowercase conversion for proper CapsLock + Shift handling.
• VP9 FFmpeg args — Fixed argument ordering for -b:v 0 and -pix_fmt yuv420p.
• vite.config.ts — Removed unused @ts-expect-error directive.
• GPU encoder config IPC — Added gpu_encoders_enabled to update_config_field match arms (now works via updateField() IPC calls, not just full-save).
• Worker thread leak — Re-added WORKER_THREAD clear in stop_keyboard_capture to prevent stale thread handles.
• Mutex poisoning safety — Changed WORKER_THREAD.lock().unwrap() to defensive if let Ok(mut guard) pattern in 3 locations to prevent hook thread crash if mutex becomes poisoned.

EasySpecy v0.1.3

[0.1.3] - 2026-06-04

Added

• Auto-update system — Built-in updater using Tauri's @tauri-apps/plugin-updater with minisign signature verification.
• NSIS install path memory — Installer automatically detects and uses the previous install location via Windows registry.
• Portable update support — Portable mode detects .portable marker and downloads new ZIP, replaces the exe, and relaunches.
• Update UI — Settings page shows available updates with download progress, and handles both NSIS and portable update flows.
• CI/CD signing — Release workflow signs NSIS installer and portable ZIP with minisign, auto-generates latest.json update manifest.

EasySpecy v0.1.2

[0.1.2] - 2026-06-04

Added

• Pause/Resume support — Real-time segment-based recording. Finalizes segment on pause and starts a new segment on resume (stitched via FFmpeg copy on stop), avoiding Graphic Capture API reinitialization delay.
• Dual-Timer UI — Added real-time tracking of both active recording duration and pause duration on the dashboard.

Fixed

• Stop when paused — Moved stop detection to the front of the frame processing loop, allowing users to stop recording directly from a paused state without hanging or crashing.
• Recording thread leak — Fixed recording threads remaining active after stop when paused by correctly signaling exit and conditionally finalizing segments.
• Right-click secondary color — Added click-effect secondary color (e.g. red) support on right-clicks for Settings/Customizer previews, the live recording overlay, and the post-processing pipeline.

---

EasySpecy v0.1.1

[0.1.1] - 2026-06-04

Fixed

• GPU encoder toggle — GPU encoders (NVENC/AMF/QSV) now correctly fall back to CPU equivalents when the GPU encoders toggle is disabled. Previously the saved encoder selection could persist across restarts even after the toggle was turned off.
• .meta.json cleanup — The temporary cursor/click metadata file (.meta.json) is no longer left behind in the recordings folder after post-processing completes. It is written during recording for use by the effects and autozoom pipeline, then automatically deleted once all post-processing is done. Only the final .mp4 remains.
