1.2.0

What's new in 1.2.0

Feature: startup chat seed

• Start the tool mid-match and the feed is no longer empty — it now shows and translates the last ~25 chat messages from the current CS2 session right away, then continues live.
• Bounded by design: it reads only a 1 MiB tail window of console.log (never the whole history) and staggers the initial translations, so the keyless Google Translate endpoint isn't hit with a startup burst.
• Switching the configured console.log path mid-session re-seeds the feed from the newly selected log's recent messages.

Security fix

• Pinned Tmds.DBus.Protocol to 0.21.3, closing advisory GHSA-xrw6-gwf8-vvr9 (a high-severity D-Bus issue pulled in transitively via Avalonia). This only affected the Linux build at runtime. The 1.1.0 Linux binary still bundles the vulnerable 0.20.0 — Linux users should move to this build.

Downloads

Release binaries now carry the version and platform in the filename:

• Windows — CS2ChatTranslator-1.2.0-win-x64.exe, self-contained, no .NET install needed.
• Linux — CS2ChatTranslator-1.2.0-linux-x64, self-contained; run chmod +x CS2ChatTranslator-1.2.0-linux-x64 after download.

Unsigned single-file builds are routinely flagged by SmartScreen/Defender — that's expected for this kind of binary.
