v0.5.0

Added

  • System-tray icon with a context menu: Reset positions, Click-through
    toggle, Size submenu (XS/S/M/L/XL), Quit. Left-click and right-click
    both surface the menu; tray icon shares the same source PNG as the EXE icon.
  • Two new global hotkeys (Win32 RegisterHotKey, fire even with the game
    focused): Ctrl+Alt+R resets every widget to its default position;
    Ctrl+Alt+S cycles widget size. Each tray entry shows its shortcut.
  • Phase 1 — driver-aid chips on the engine widget: ESC, LC (launch
    control), DRS (bright when deployed, dim when only available), ERS
    (charging), WW (wrong way), INV (lap invalidated), LAST (final lap).
    Strip auto-compresses width when many fire at once.
  • Phase 2 — analog readouts row on the engine widget: water / oil temp,
    oil / fuel pressure, exhaust temp, battery V, fuel L, brake bias %F. Cells
    hide automatically when the source publishes nothing for the current car.
  • Phase 3 — new inputs widget (top-centred): pedal bars (THR/BRK/CLU/HBR),
    signed steering bar, FFB clipping indicator, G-meter circle with reference
    rings, five-zone damage chips, tyres-off-track count, performance-mode
    label. Hidden by default in 0.5.0 — Ctrl+Alt+R brings it on screen.
  • 18 MDI icons rendered into resources/img/ via a new fetch_icons.py
    helper (downloads SVGs from Iconify, rasterises to 256×256 PNGs through
    QSvgRenderer — no extra dependencies).
  • GitHub Action (.github/workflows/release.yml) that builds the Windows
    executable and publishes a release on every v* tag push.

Changed

  • Removed the floating reset and size buttons from the overlay itself —
    their job is now done by the tray menu plus the new hotkeys.
  • App icon replaced with the higher-resolution LT branding (256×256);
    tray and EXE share the same source file so they always match.
  • Engine widget logical height grew from 120 to 148 px to fit the new
    Phase 2 readouts row; the bar still anchors to the bottom of the screen.

Fixed

  • Tire temperature grid showed thin transparent seams between colours at
    fractional logical coordinates (anti-aliased edges of adjacent rects).
    AA is now disabled for that grid; aliased fills snap flush.
  • Tray context menu was being covered by the overlay every second when the
    topmost-reassertion timer fired. The reassertion now skips while any
    popup widget is active.
  • build.py now bundles resources/icon.png into the EXE so the tray
    icon resolves at runtime (previously only the embedded .ico was set,
    so the tray was iconless in the frozen build).
