v1.1.0-pre-release

Laptops, and desktops other than KDE.

Only the Plasma path has ever replayed an event. The other three were written
to their specifications and have never run on a real session.

Added

• Playback through the compositor on Plasma, sway, Hyprland, Wayfire, river and niri, with no udev rule and no root.
• Playback through XTEST on an X11 session, and through the desktop portal where you grant it once.
• --injector, which names the path a macro will take and why the others were skipped.
• --portal-consent and --portal-forget, for the permission the portal remembers.
• Recording of touchpads, drawing tablets and the absolute pointer a virtual machine gives you.
• Mouse speed read from GNOME, sway and Hyprland as well as KDE.
• A udev rule for /dev/uinput, which install.sh offers only where nothing better exists.
• --list-screens, and TINYTASK_SCREEN for stating the desktop size yourself.
• A warning when a monitor is added, removed or resized while TinyTask runs.
• An aarch64 archive in the release, alongside x86_64.

Fixes

• The command line assumed a 3840x1080 desktop, halving every horizontal coordinate on a 1920-wide screen.
• Touchpad movement was thrown away, so a laptop recording was clicks in the corner and nothing else.
• A macro could replay into the gap an uneven multi-monitor layout leaves, instead of the nearest monitor.
• Nothing appeared when /dev/uinput could not be opened, not even an error.
• The startup warning sent every desktop to KDE's System Settings.
• A touchpad was read as a mouse, which is the wrong acceleration setting.
• The settings dialog was too tall for a 1366x768 laptop, putting OK below the screen edge.
• Prefs offered the status overlay on desktops that cannot show it.

Improved

• --list-devices says how each device is read: keys, pointer, touchpad or absolute.
• The acceleration warning tells a setting that says nothing from one that could not be read.
• The README lists the libraries a build and a released binary actually need.

v1.0.0

First release.

Added

• Recording of mouse movement, all three buttons, the wheel and the keyboard, read straight from /dev/input.
• Playback through a virtual input device, so applications see a macro as real input.
• Reading and writing of .rec files in TinyTask's Windows format.
• Global hotkeys for record and play, with the play combination doubling as an emergency stop.
• A settings dialog that rebinds those hotkeys by pressing the combination you want.
• Repetition once, a set number of times, or continuously until you stop it.
• Recording of the pauses, so a macro replays at the speed it was made.
• Compensation for pointer acceleration, read from the KDE mouse settings, with a manual override.
• A warning at startup when a mouse is on the adaptive acceleration profile, which no fixed factor can undo.
• A system tray icon that turns red while recording and green while playing.
• A status overlay carrying the elapsed time, the click count, the repetitions left and the stop shortcut.
• Placement of that overlay at any edge or corner of the screen, or off entirely.
• A choice between closing the window to the tray and closing it to quit.
• The command line: --record, --play, --loops, --from-screen, --inspect and --list-devices.
• Clean handling of Ctrl+C, SIGTERM and SIGHUP, saving or stopping instead of dying with keys held.
• An application icon, a desktop entry and an install.sh that puts TinyTask in the application menu.

Fixes

• Held keys surviving a crash, a signal or a closed window; every exit path now releases them.
• The emergency stop going deaf while a dialog was open.
• The hotkey echo removal eating parts of the macro next to the combination.
• Keyboard-only macros throwing the pointer into the corner when they were replayed.
• A macro recorded on one resolution missing the far corner when replayed on another.
• Playback timing drifting when the event clock wrapped or an event arrived out of order.
• Idle time being dropped, so a macro that waits now waits on playback too.
• A keyboard or mouse that sleeps and comes back going unnoticed, which silently disabled the hotkeys.
• A mouse button being accepted as a hotkey key, which made the hotkey unpressable.
• The settings dialog running off the bottom of a 1080-tall screen.
• The overlay caption spilling past the edge of the strip.
• Every opened macro being rescaled as though it had been recorded on a 1920x1080 screen, which moved the coordinates of files this application had recorded itself.

Improved

• The toolbar carries drawn icons and text labels in place of the first plain buttons.
• Settings text says what each option does rather than how it is stored.
• The interface has a scheme and a palette of its own instead of the toolkit default.
• The status overlay is a compact block of labelled rows with the stop shortcut in bold.
• The file inspector reports which header length it detected and why.
• The README is down to what a user actually needs to get running.
• The licence is PolyForm Internal Use 1.0.0 with written additional permissions, in place of a bespoke text.
