Release History

v0.9.37 — Custom colour release hardening

• Consolidated fixed and Custom bottom-area choices through one command dispatcher.
• Protected the complete DarkOne Tools popup lifecycle with try/finally, ensuring every native menu object is disposed exactly once after success, cancellation or failure.
• Added strict finite integer and signed/unsigned 32-bit return validation.
• Treated cancellation and unchanged results as non-destructive, preserving the previous mode and colour.
• Added contextual native-picker diagnostics to shared JScript Panel and JSplitter colour helpers.
• Made current control-panel entries import the canonical shared colour helper directly while retaining a validated fallback for older saved entry text.
• Replaced isolated helper tests with an end-to-end runtime test of the real DarkOne Tools hierarchy, command routing, persistence and cleanup.

v0.9.36 — Signed native colour-picker correction

• Fixed bottom-area Custom colour commands reaching the native picker but failing with Overflow.
• Converted opaque ARGB values to signed 32-bit integers only at the native utils.ColourPicker() boundary.
• Preserved the established opaque ARGB representation for properties, runtime-state serialisation and rendering.
• Applied the boundary conversion to project helpers, the Enhanced Sample Library mirror and the legacy bottom-area fallback.
• Added validation that deliberately reproduces native overflow behaviour for out-of-range picker arguments.

v0.9.32–v0.9.35 — Custom colour picker investigation

Superseded test builds used while diagnosing native picker detection, signatures and popup-menu behaviour. The working correction is documented under v0.9.36.

v0.9.31 — Display startup hotfix and package refresh

• Fixed the Display panel failing during bottom-area appearance initialisation because shared configuration still called the removed DisplaySystem.resetRenderedImages() API.
• Removed the obsolete call; the direct-sprite Display now refreshes through InitColours() and setColours().
• Added static validation that compares shared display_system calls with methods actually exported by Object_DisplaySystem.js.
• Updated the repository screenshots from JPEG to WebP and corrected README asset references and repository layout.
• Refreshed the maintainer-exported DarkOneJSP3.fcl convenience snapshot.
• Revised the README and static validation checks for the final v0.9.31 package.

v0.9.30 — Rendering performance and allocation optimisation

• Cached JS Playlist selection and playback state outside the visible-row paint path.
• Reused visible playlist row objects during sequential scrolling and cached column geometry and group-header measurements.
• Reused control buttons and the volume knob during resizing, with font recreation only when effective settings change.
• Replaced mutable Dot Matrix composites with direct source-rectangle draws from cached Direct2D sprite sheets.
• Added cached InfoStack render state and shorter yielding Queue Viewer source scans.
• Removed Playlist Manager PlaylistCount reads from paint.
• Deferred Album Art blur generation until requested and added pending-resource cancellation and disposal.

v0.9.29 — Release hardening and runtime efficiency

• Applied persisted bottom-area colours before the first panel paint.
• Prevented resize callbacks from rereading shared state or querying peers repeatedly.
• Avoided rebuilding JScript buttons and Display caches for divider-only changes.
• Moved waveform blanking into the behaviour-reset scope.
• Kept visible colour synchronisation at 100 ms while checking reset commands every 500 ms.
• Acknowledged processed reset commands instead of rereading stale files indefinitely.
• Removed obsolete JScript polling code.
• Explicitly disposed active Album Art Direct2D bitmaps during unload.

v0.9.28 — Bottom-area fixed-mode regression correction

• Restored DarkOne grey (#202020) across the three bottom JScript panels.
• Added a complete six-mode validation matrix across the JScript panels, Bottom Controls host and Automatic Display/Waveform host.

v0.9.27 — Uniform bottom-area inherited background

• Resolved Transparent / inherit parent to the uniform DarkOne dark grey tone (#181818) across all bottom JScript and JSplitter surfaces.
• Updated cached Display rendering to remove mismatched #202020 rectangles.
• Kept transparent lower dividers revealing the same resolved backing.

v0.9.26 — Automatic Display/Waveform host background

• Added Automatic — Bottom area background and made it the default for new properties and appearance resets.
• Preserved every existing fixed Host background mode and numeric property value.
• Reused the sole Bottom Controls state poller and relayed changes within the JSplitter domain.

v0.9.25 — Faster bottom-area synchronisation

• Reduced the sole Bottom Controls runtime-state poll interval from 500 ms to 100 ms.
• Retained the single-poller architecture; the three JScript panels do not poll continuously.

v0.9.24 — Cross-host reset and runtime-state hardening

• Added a short-lived factory-reset command bridge so JScript Panel and JSplitter-owned settings reset together.
• Moved persistent bottom-area state into js_data with automatic migration from the older project-folder location.
• Reduced four state-file pollers to one Bottom Controls poller.
• Added write diagnostics and retry handling.
• Removed obsolete cross-component notification plumbing and aligned shared menu mappings.
• Updated the tested JSplitter version to 4.1.12.

v0.9.23 — Bottom-area state persistence correction

• Corrected the JScript Panel state writer to use the supported two-argument WriteTextFile form.
• Fixed bottom-background and divider selections updating the host-owned regions and surviving restart.

v0.9.22 — File-backed bottom-area synchronisation

• Replaced the unreliable cross-component notification bridge with shared file-backed state.
• Allowed the Bottom Controls host to repaint its full backing, layout gaps and divider strips independently of the JScript Panel notification domain.

v0.9.21 — Shared bottom-area appearance controls

• Added one shared Bottom area background setting for the left control, right control, Display panel and Bottom Controls backing.
• Added one shared Bottom area side divider colour setting for both lower divider strips.
• Preserved DarkOne grey and DarkOne dark grey as the respective defaults.

v0.9.20 — Album Art wheel performance

• Added an 80 ms trailing debounce so rapid wheel input loads only the final artwork selection.
• Preserved immediate keyboard and context-menu selection.
• Cancelled pending work on metadata change and script unload.
• Updated the sample identity to Album Art — Enhanced v0.1.0.

v0.9.19 — Enhanced Sample Library documentation

• Added a dedicated Enhanced Sample Library section to the repository README.
• Documented the standalone architecture, compatibility contract and benefits for other themes.
• Added direct README links to the distributed enhanced-samples guide.

v0.9.18 — Standalone compatibility hardening

• Fixed factory reset for saved pre-v0.9.17 sample entries through a generated self-contained legacy adapter.
• Rejected malformed reset scopes and unknown roles across standalone, JScript Panel and JSplitter receivers.
• Made current entries load canonical performance and UI-cadence helpers before helpers.txt.
• Expanded static and runtime validation for the compatibility refactor.

v0.9.17 — Standalone enhanced-sample compatibility

• Removed hard DarkOneJSP3 profile-path dependencies from enhanced sample entries.
• Added component-local colour, performance, UI-cadence and reset utilities.
• Preserved saved properties and older entry-script compatibility.
• Added the neutral JSP3Enhanced.Reset.Properties protocol while retaining legacy aliases.
