Achievement Watcher 3.8.6

Achievement Watcher 3.8.6

A feature and reliability release: keyless Steam schemas, a clearer Help and cache-management
experience, safer updates, fixes for custom notification placement and scaled displays, plus
hardened HTML fallback sanitization.

Highlights

• Keyless Steam schemas. Achievement metadata now uses the official public endpoint first, then
  SteamHunters, SteamCommunity and the existing browser fallback. No Steam Web API key is required.
• Clear caches. Settings → Advanced can remove disposable updater, schema, icon, cover and
  emulator-tool caches while preserving settings, saves, backups, themes and manually seeded files.
• Better Help and localization. Help reflects the actual hotkey, controller layout, notification
  mode, theme and enabled sources, with searchable localized guides.
• Safer updates. Differential downloads are disabled; a checksum mismatch clears the poisoned
  updater cache and retries a complete download once. If that also fails, the app explains the cache
  location and offers the official release page.
• Custom notification placement fixed. Saved positions now stay on their original display and
  use full display bounds, so a scaled popup can sit flush over the taskbar again (issue #25).
• HTML fallback hardened. Malformed nested markup is stripped with a stateful scanner, and
  Markdown anchor parsing has matching regression coverage.
• Reliability and privacy. The release includes the related cache-recovery fix (issue #24),
  safer process launches, redacted diagnostics, localized dialogs and more resilient schema and
  library fallbacks.
