v3.5

Toxic Orb / Flame Orb now record both the item and the poison or burn. Fixed the first turn of a battle sometimes failing to save to the cloud. Kaizen now checks for updates every 15 minutes instead of hourly.

v3.2

Linux on Wayland: Kaizen now reads the game window itself, so it is no longer all black (keep the game open, not minimised). When a new version is out, the version label at the top turns amber - click it to update. Linux/Mac check again a few minutes after a release if the download was not ready yet. The + next to SPD now explains it works during a battle.

Solid background option (Settings > Window) for full screen / second screen.

v3

Kaizen v3. Second screen? Kaizen can now show Battle, Scouting and Team side by side, full screen: it offers when you make it big, or turn it on in Settings > Window > 'Show everything at once'. Pin and Full now sit at the top right when Kaizen is wide enough. Full screen covers the whole screen and you can drag Kaizen out of it again. Linux: the window no longer jumps while you drag it.

Replays and dark areas: the boxes now find the battle window, so the foe's HP reads right. A full HP bar now reads 100% (it read 97%). Manual import suggests abilities again. The Team tab scrolls sideways. Readable team-name boxes. Older PCs: the AI button explains when the processor can't run it.

v2.16

Sign-up and log-in errors now say what went wrong. Calibration results are colour-coded per line (green good, amber unsure, red wrong). Small battle windows no longer get their HP bars rejected as too small, and low foe HP bars read on small windows. Boxes follow the game window by default (now on Mac too) with an ON/OFF switch in Edit calibration. Stray letters after wild Pokemon names removed.
