[0.0.2] - 2026-08-08

Features

Notes system — display markdown notes (patch notes, news, announcements) in the patcher UI

Configured via notes_url in goro-config.json pointing to notes.json
Notes are markdown files rendered to HTML on the Go side (gomarkdown/markdown)
Custom CSS support via notes_css_url for styling notes
Notes sorted by ID descending — newest first
Supports file://, http://, https:// protocols

Fixes

External link handling — links in notes open in default browser, not inside patcher

Drag-and-drop prevention — dropping files onto patcher UI no longer opens them

This is initial GORO Patcher release.
It works, but this release is for testing purposes and feedback collection.

GRF 2.0 read/write/merge — full format implementation with 46-byte header (rAthena layout), zlib-compressed file table, EUC-KR filename decoding
GRF patching — merge .grf files directly or extract .zip contents into target GRF
Raw patching — extract zip files to game directory with backup support
HTTP downloader — resume support (Range headers), retry with backoff, xxhash64 verification
Self-update — patcher can update itself from manifest
Process detection — checks if game is running before patching
State machine — clean state transitions (idle → checking → downloading → patching → ready/error)
Polling-based progress — real-time progress via GetProgress() bound method
Crash recovery — atomic GRF save, .bak restoration, re-download on hash failure
Auto-check on start — patcher checks for updates automatically on launch
Cross-platform builds — scripts/build.sh (Linux/cross-compile) and scripts/build.bat (native Windows)
Hash tool — hashfile command for generating XXHash64 hashes for manifest
Patch validation — patcher validates applied patches against manifest on start
Repair — redownload and reapply from first mismatching patch when corruption detected
