v1.2.1

This release focuses on reliability, diagnostics, and a smoother uninstall experience.

🚀 New Features

• Added graceful shutdown and uninstall support so the extension can exit cleanly when Windows is removing or updating it.
• Added a rolling file logger to capture runtime events and troubleshooting details.
• Added a “Submit a Bug” command to help you save logs and open the GitHub issues page quickly.
• Improved cache handling with per-data-type expiration so forecast data stays fresh without unnecessary API calls.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed shutdown and disposal issues to make uninstall behavior more reliable.
• Fixed compatibility and cleanup problems in the graceful shutdown path.
• Added a test to catch missing localization keys in locale files, helping prevent incomplete translations from shipping.
• Fixed related shutdown-coordinator issues discovered during testing and validation.

🔧 Improvements

• Hardened the extension’s startup and shutdown lifecycle for better stability.
• Improved logging and diagnostic support for troubleshooting.
• Updated the bug report workflow instructions to make issue reporting clearer.

📝 Documentation

• Added documentation for graceful shutdown and uninstall behavior.
• Updated contributor acknowledgements in the project docs.

v1.2.0

What's New in v1.2.0

🌍 Internationalization

• 14 languages supported — Arabic, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Spanish, Turkish
• Geocoding improvements — better results for non-English locales with Accept-Language headers and postal code retry logic

⚙️ Custom Settings Page

• Stay-in-place settings — no more bouncing back to root after every save. Adjust multiple options in one session.
• Favorites-only dock model — simplified architecture replaces the dual PinnedLocationsManager
• 12/24-hour clock setting — choose your preferred time format

🛡️ Reliability & Performance

• Thread-safe weather cache — lock protects concurrent reads/writes in OpenMeteoService
• CancellationToken in dock bands — API calls cancel cleanly on dispose, no more orphaned requests
• Null weather error state — clear error message when weather data is unavailable instead of blank UI
• InvariantCulture for API URLs — fixes locale-dependent decimal separator bugs (e.g. commas in coordinates)

🧪 Testing

• Expanded test suite — new tests for WeatherFormatter, HourlyForecastPage, WeatherListPage, JsonFileStore, SearchHints, PinnedLocations, and more
• Test doubles infrastructure — StubWeatherService, StubGeocodingService, AsyncTestHelper for better unit isolation

📦 Incremental Favorites Loading

• Favorites weather data loads and displays incrementally — items appear one-by-one as data arrives rather than all-at-once after the slowest response

🔧 Infrastructure

• Fixed release action MSIX upload and Store submission commit
• WeatherFormatter centralized formatting (temperature, wind, compass direction, hours)

New Contributors

• @eneshenderson made their first contribution in #102
