🎉 WinTokenMon v1.0.0 — Production GA
First production-stable release! WinTokenMon turns your daily local AI coding token usage into a living Pokémon companion on Windows — 100% private, zero API keys, zero telemetry.
This release spans three feature milestones (v0.2.0, v0.3.0, v0.4.0) plus a full production-hardening pass.
✨ What's New Since v0.1.0-beta
🏆 Developer Achievements & Trophies (v0.2.0)
- 8 unlockable badges across Bronze → Platinum tiers: First Hatch, Night Owl Coder, Token Overclock, Multi-Tool Wizard, 100M Burn Club, Shiny Hunter, Senior Professor, Egg Hoarder
- Token & item rewards, toast notifications, and a new Trophy Cabinet dashboard tab
🍬 Interactive Feeding & Friendship (v0.3.0)
- Drop Rare Candies or Oran Berries onto your desktop — real gravity physics with damped bounces
- Your pet autonomously seeks, chases, and munches treats (with crunch SFX)
- New Friendship meter: petting & treats raise affection; ≥80% grants a +10% EXP boost
- Cinematic evolution ceremony modal
📟 Compact HUD Capsule + More Scanners (v0.4.0)
- New Ultra-Compact HUD mode: a 220×32px always-on-top pill showing live burn vs. limit (%), velocity (tokens/min), and hatch progress — switchable from the tray
- New token scanners: Aider, Windsurf (Cascade), Cline & Roo Code
- Per-provider toggles in Settings
- Start with Windows: registry-based autostart toggle
🚀 Production Hardening (v1.0.0)
- In-app auto-updater: once-a-day background check against GitHub Releases with a one-click Download & Install flow (SHA256-verified installer), Remind Me Later, and Skip This Version
- Performance: token scanning moved off the UI thread (background worker); non-blocking sprite downloads; lazy audio init; idle CPU usage significantly reduced
- Data safety: atomic savegame writes with automatic
.bakbackups, corrupt-state quarantine & recovery, loaded-value clamping - Visibility: application log at
%APPDATA%\WinTokenMon\logs\with rotation; all critical errors recorded instead of swallowed - Removed the developer debug console ahead of GA; dropped unused dependencies
