Vanilla+ 0.0.7 — Release Notes R104–R108

R104 — 2026-11-04 (self-ID `Vanilla+0.0.7-R104`)

Vanilla+0.0.7-R104 — build fixes, fork-surface sweep, full smoke pass GREEN

Build fixes (second post-R102 break): upstream's per-TU restructure
(962f88d5) made shared globals TU-private and left five fork anchors
dangling — SCmd.cpp's roster-state mark now includes Roster.data.h, and
the esc-menu tables, the font cache, the palette-transpose base and the
glide sprite buffer are read through new VP accessors instead of globals.
The options-table sizeof assert became a runtime count check.
New audit tool: fork_surface_syntax_sweep.sh — compiles 90 TUs
three-ways (fork vs upstream vs merge) and baseline-diffs the errors:
0 semantic errors, 6 noise-only flags (host-shim types present in the
upstream bodies too).
Field-verified: the R104 build carried the FULL smoke belt green —
owner: "R104 fully smoke tested. passed." ([issue #28]) — including the
standing §L asks (unit-lock re-checks, perspective-off, both-panels, the
D3D toggle re-check).
Housekeeping in the same window: the repository is renamed
D2LoD-libslang-vk → D2VP-QoL (old URLs redirect), and the
Glide3xVK wrapper spins out to its own repo,
VTSTech/Glide3xVK.
Gates 380/380.

Vanilla+0.0.7-R105 — the sixth upstream sync (Ghidra DB → 1894)

Merge of six upstream commits (cc23648d..e2e9ec61), 124 files,
+1,732/−2,059. Byte-match now 6,560 of 14,642 functions (44.8%) / 21.14%
of bytes.
Structural: the D2Multi launcher file folds into ChatDlg (deleted
D2Multi/Launcher.{cpp,h}); verified no fork surface referenced the
launcher before staging.
Four conflicts resolved per docs/merge-upstream.md:
- Pet recolor (issue #8): upstream's new per-call-local shape taken,
  fork's field-verified raw polarity kept (dated supersession notes at both
  sites; gate re-pinned).
- Party.cpp site-6: the resolution-mode offset term re-planted onto
  upstream's inlined call shape.
- GetGuildName: upstream's plain strcpy shape not taken — the
  rev35 bounded copy stays (a corrupt 32+-byte guild name would run off the
  packet area).
- README: fork Verification section kept, upstream evidence numbers
  absorbed.
Audit battery all green: gates 380/380, rev47 marker audit zero losses,
rev48 zero dead stores, d2boot ALL VISIBLE, merge-site sweep 29 TUs clean.
No owner-visible behavior change intended.

Vanilla+0.0.7-R106 — the seventh upstream sync (Ghidra DB → 1908) + build fix

Merge of fifteen upstream commits (e2e9ec61..7df6ad0e), 437 files, six
evidence rounds. Evidence now 6,733 functions (46.03%) / 21.87% of
bytes.
Notable upstream landings: nine more VC8 codegen shapes; Storm TSList
head terminator typed as one link and UnlinkAll copied as template
members; MCP one-byte requests build the byte in a byte buffer; packet-flag
and quest-execute types taken from the asm; PKWARE filed under its
IMPLODE.LIB names; the old Game.exe Main.cpp filed as Game/Main.cpp
and the Engine/Application scaffolding retired.
Build fix: the first post-sync owner build broke on Draw.cpp's stale
D2Client/D2GfxHelperStrc.h include (left behind by the upstream refile) —
dropped, build green.

Vanilla+0.0.7-R107 — the Mana Burn fix (mana_burn_fix)

The bug (retail 1.14d, verified in-tree): monsters with the Mana Burn
affix drain 256x the intended mana with melee hits — 512x in Hell —
emptying a mana pool in one blow. Root cause: the affix stores its drain
stats already in the mana 1/256 fixed point, and the melee drain roll
shifted them another 8 bits (a helper built for the plain-point
fire/cold/lightning stats); the missile path read the stats raw and was
always correct. Community record: Amazon Basin wiki — "it is multiplied by
256 when applied by a melee attack. Fixed in D2R."
The fix (opt-in): with [features] mana_burn_fix=1 in d2vp.ini, a
Mana Burn melee hit drains the designed amount instead — 66–100% of the
monster's level damage (33–50% for Nightmare/Hell minions). Default OFF =
retail byte-for-byte.
D2R 2.4 parity: Nightmare/Hell still drain x1.4/x2 — the difficulty
resist penalty is retail behavior and is left alone, exactly like D2R after
its own 2.4 fix.
Scope: server-side, so it applies in single player and in TCP-IP games
hosted from this exe. New fork-owned gate TU
(D2Game/UNIT/VanillaPlusCombat.{h,cpp}, 2 s ini hot-read) + a VP-marked
drain-roll shim and three marked call sites in SUnitDmg.cpp (the
life/stamina drain sites share the latent double-scale and are covered for
consistency). Key documented in the auto-created d2vp.ini template.
Exit check: a Hell Mana Burn unique with monlvl DM 40 drains 26–40 mana
per hit (not 13,517–20,480).

Vanilla+0.0.7-R108 — Mana Burn Fix joins the Vanilla+ Options panel

Esc → Options → Vanilla+ Options grows an eighth row, Mana Burn Fix —
the R107 toggle is no longer ini-only. Same key, same bridge as the other
seven rows; a fresh d2vp.ini already carries it.
Instant in the panel, ≤ 2 s in the game: the page re-reads the ini every
frame, so the On/Off flip shows same-frame; the server gate keeps its 2 s
hot-read, so the drain behavior follows on the next poll — the same latency
as an external ini edit.
Layout: the eighth row moved the Previous Menu row down one pitch
(0x144 → 0x164) and grew the panel box (0x171 → 0x191, same bottom margin);
verified to fit 640x480.
Housekeeping: the build self-ID gate re-pinned (the R107 round never
re-pinned it), row-count/back-row gates re-pinned, +1 row-present gate —
suite 387/387.
