Pitmasters Grill v1.0.0 — General Release

Pitmasters Grill v1.0.0 is the first General Release of PMG.

This release moves PMG out of technical-preview framing and turns it into a fuller daily-use EVE local-intel companion: faster board reads, stronger public killmail freshness, better cockpit layout behavior, improved diagnostics, and a complete app identity.

Highlights

  • Graduated PMG from Technical Preview to General Release.
  • Added the Grill / Analysis / Intel / Ignore List / Settings / Help workflow.
  • Added PMG branding, executable icon, header logo, and Windows tray icon.
  • Made Panel/Board-style behavior the default PMG experience.
  • Added Today’s Freshness for visible-pilot same-day/recent zKill repair.
  • Added Historical Freshness for visible-pilot recent completed-day repair.
  • Added Background Historical Repair after startup with cooldown/checkpoint protection.
  • Added optional R2Z2 live zKill feed support.
  • Added killmail DB write coordination to reduce overlapping SQLite writer risk.
  • Added pilot Watchlist support with watched-first sorting.
  • Added persistent window position/size and improved multi-monitor restore behavior.
  • Added saved board column layout, reset behavior, Character A-Z default sort, and stronger column resizing/autofit.
  • Added relative Last Seen values such as 3h ago or 4d ago.
  • Added Analysis summary surfaces for visible-pilot composition/context review.
  • Added EVE Session Context confidence display for copied-local context.
  • Expanded diagnostics for freshness, live feed state, checkpoints, and background repair settings.
  • Added a Help tab with PMG shortcuts and workflow reminders.

Freshness model

PMG now uses layered public-data freshness:

  1. Archive Backfill — historical baseline from completed public zKill archive days.
  2. R2Z2 Live Feed — optional ambient live zKill-known deltas.
  3. Today’s Freshness — manual visible-pilot same-day/recent repair.
  4. Historical Freshness — manual visible-pilot recent completed-day repair.
  5. Background Historical Repair — bounded startup enrichment over known/recent pilots.

These tools improve PMG’s local public-evidence cache. They do not make public data complete or private data visible.

Board and UI improvements

  • Board columns now persist, reset safely, manually resize, and autofit to the visible grid width.
  • The rightmost visible column fills to the inner right edge even after hiding other columns.
  • Default board sort is Character A-Z while preserving watched-first grouping.
  • Last Seen now displays relative recency.
  • Help tab added.
  • PMG Themes label replaces the old dark-mode label.
  • Panel/Board-style behavior is now the default experience.

Diagnostics and safety

Diagnostics now include broader freshness/background state, R2Z2 status, checkpoint counts, and live-killmail source counts.

PMG remains evidence-first and does not read client memory, inspect network traffic, automate gameplay, use private ESI character data, or claim live grid/location/cloak certainty.

Upgrade notes

Existing users can update normally.

On first launch, PMG may evaluate archive freshness and/or perform bounded background historical repair. This is expected.

R2Z2 live feed is optional and disabled by default.

If local killmail intel appears stale, use Intel → Today’s Freshness or Historical Freshness before reaching for heavier reset/rebuild tools.
