Rift Ready 0.12.22 — Smoother navigation and scrolling

• Reduces window-drag and match-history scrolling work by retaining unchanged artwork, profile, summary and title-bar pixels. Scroll updates redraw the table instead of the entire dashboard.
• Adds keyboard navigation and accessible statistics/actions to match history: arrows, Page Up/Down, Home/End and Enter/Space. Ctrl+F focuses match search.
• Shows match search only on Overview and retains filters when returning.
• Keeps Back/Forward visible on Live game and fixes clipped champion-select content at smaller window sizes.
• Uses consistent Champions/Matchups labels, clearer champion-section selection, working catalog sorting and improved Preferences/lesson accessibility labels.
• Prevents nested controls from handling a mouse-wheel action more than once.

Controlled rendering tests improved from approximately 278 to 11 ms per move/repaint cycle and 277 to 14 ms per history-scroll update. These are offscreen UI measurements, not game FPS or a verified live mouse/compositor result.

Validation includes 769 core checks, 42 new UX interaction checks, existing dashboard, navigation, Preferences, update-integrity and helper regressions, plus installer upgrade/rollback checks. Layouts were inspected at 1920x1040 and 1280x950. Fresh live League integration and actual screen-reader use remain unverified.

The original logo, most-played champion background, saved preferences, reviews, rank history and recovery copies are preserved. Preferences and Updates remain popups. Retired overlays and unavailable build integrations remain disabled; no Riot or Overwolf approval is claimed.

Rift Ready 0.12.21 — Reliability and efficiency fixes

Updates now opens as a popup like Preferences; other sections remain pages.

• Protects unreadable preferences and saves atomically with a recovery copy.
• Reuses match-detail pages and bounds navigation history to reduce retained UI resources.
• Refreshes stale champion summaries, review context and matchup references.
• Prevents helper restart after shutdown and removes unnecessary idle/rendering work.
• Fixes a race between update downloads and background release checks.
• Preserves page navigation and review drafts; matches and unsaved reviews still block installation.

Validation passed: 769 core checks, targeted audit/navigation regressions, settings/UI/helper suites, signature checks, and installer upgrade/rollback from 0.12.20. Repeatedly opening one match retains 1 page instead of 20; no in-game FPS improvement is claimed. Fresh live-game integration remains unverified.

Original logo, most-played champion artwork, preferences, reviews and rank history are preserved. Retired overlays and unavailable recommendations remain disabled. Riot/Overwolf integration and permissions remain unresolved.

Rift Ready 0.12.20 — Pages and a cleaner feature set

Champions, champion reference, LP history, match details, Matchups, Review and Updates now live in the main window. Preferences remains a popup.

• Back/Forward navigation preserves filters and review drafts.
• LP history displays real locally recorded snapshots, with time filters.
• Match pages show known final personal stats and inventory.
• Removes demo sessions and fixes clipped Preferences buttons.
• Shortens the cooldown setting to ‘Minutes and seconds’.
• Temporarily removes overlays and unavailable build recommendations while integrations and permissions are unresolved.

The original logo and most-played-champion background remain. Missing data stays unavailable: no public-player lookup, event timelines or prediction features are added. Saved preferences, reviews, rank history and recovery copies are preserved.

Validation includes application, navigation, settings, mobile privacy, and installer upgrade/rollback checks. Live-game integration has not been revalidated for this release.

Rift Ready 0.12.18 — Player overview redesign

Rift Ready has a new blue-black and teal desktop layout, with the original logo unchanged.

• Horizontal navigation and a wide champion-art banner.
• Background artwork follows your most-played champion across up to 100 loaded matches.
• Redesigned profile, ranked progression, champion performance and match-summary panels.
• Clearer match rows with actual item icons when available.
• Local champion/role search, queue filters and 100/50/20-match ranges.
• A champion-history browser that filters Overview when you select a champion.
• Matching rounded dropdowns and teal settings switches.

The banner uses loaded all-queue history, not lifetime mastery. Artwork is cached from Riot's static CDN; no account or match data is uploaded. Missing history/artwork uses a neutral background. Search filters local matches, not other players' profiles.

Upgrades preserve preferences, reviews, overlay layouts, rank history and recovery copies. Download RiftReference-Setup.exe or use Updates in Rift Ready. The updater verifies publisher-signed metadata and installer integrity; the installer is not Windows Authenticode-signed.

Rift Ready 0.12.17 — UI refresh

Rift Ready 0.12.17 refreshes the desktop interface in the existing charcoal and teal palette.

• Settings now use compact pill switches with clear on/off states.
• Dropdowns have rounded triggers, detached dark menus, selected-row checkmarks, keyboard navigation, and type-to-select.
• Champion select uses compact roster cards, highlights your pick, and shows team champion-tag counts.
• Live match roster cards have clearer separation.
• Builds & runes has clearer tabs, selected build cards, and matching dropdowns.

Existing preferences, saved reviews, loadout selection, and update safeguards are preserved.

Download and run RiftReference-Setup.exe, or use Updates in Rift Ready. The installer does not require a .NET SDK or Electron runtime.

Rift Ready 0.12.16

Rift Ready 0.12.16 refines the desktop window chrome and Preferences experience.

• Adds a slim Rift Ready title strip with compact Windows-ordered window controls.
• Opens Preferences as a fixed, close-only modal over a dimmed app background.
• Makes the optional one-second timing click slightly louder at the same master volume.

The one-second click remains off by default. Existing preferences, overlay layout, rank history, review notes and recovery copies are preserved during upgrades.

Rift Ready 0.12.15

Rift Ready 0.12.15 brings the app's controls into one clearer, themed experience.

• General, game overlay, audio/reminder, and phone/tablet options now live together in Preferences.
• Update checks, release notes, and installation now have a separate Updates window.
• Preferences use Rift Ready's charcoal and teal theme, grouped cards, clearer active states, and consistent controls.
• Match history scrolling, minimal window controls, secondary-monitor restoration, Practice Tool detection, and overlay marker alignment include the local fixes developed since 0.12.0.
• Existing preferences, review notes, overlay layouts, rank history, and recovery copies are preserved during upgrades.

The public installer supports the standard borderless/windowed overlay. The separately installed local Game Bar component used for fullscreen testing is not bundled with this installer. Riot API profiles and the live Diamond+ recommendation feed remain unconnected. Live League behavior can still vary after game updates.

Rift Ready 0.12.0 — Player overview and ranked progression

New player overview with recent match results, champion performance and a compact charcoal layout.

• Actual rank badges, LP progress bar and recorded ranked ladder graph.
• Runes / builds opens the visual recommendation dashboard directly; the original editor is removed from navigation.
• Upgrades preserve preferences and recorded rank history.

Rank and match data currently use the local League client. The graph builds from observed snapshots; it does not reconstruct earlier LP history. Riot API-backed profiles and live Diamond+ recommendations remain pending and are not activated by this update.

Validation: application checks, 13 home parsing checks, 14 rank-history checks, 33 recommendation checks, 17 collector tests, 5 transport tests, installer upgrade/rollback from 0.11.0 and publisher signature verification passed. Live-client integration remains unverified.

Rift Ready 0.11.0 — Build paths and desktop polish

New visual builds and runes dashboard with connected item paths, spells and observed skill order.

• Paths / Options browsing, first-item filters, and popularity / win-rate sorting.
• Choose a build directly from overlay settings.
• Dark native title bars and explicit shortcut icons.

Live Diamond+ recommendations are not connected yet. These screens require a configured qualifying Riot aggregate feed; manual plans remain available. No API key or private collector database is included.

Includes existing overlay controls, fixed Baron/Elder buff cards and stats panel. Upgrades preserve preferences and recovery copies.

Validation: application checks, 29 recommendation checks, 17 collector tests, 98 overlay checks, installer upgrade/rollback and publisher signature verification passed.

Rift Ready 0.10.0 — Game overlays

Optional native overlays for borderless/windowed League games.

• Hold the scoreboard key for role-aligned inventory-value differences and complete team inventory totals, excluding unspent gold.
• Item and component purchase progress from a manual target or saved build plan.
• Fixed Baron (3:00) and Elder (2:30) cards appear after kills and expire independently. These estimate objective windows, not individual holders.
• Optional CS/min, kill participation, total CS, K/D/A and vision stats.
• Compact build and stats panels support dragging, resizing, independent locks, closing and opacity in the layout editor. Per-panel gears replace the shared toolbar.
• Upgrade preserves preferences, review notes, overlay settings and recovery copies.

Enable in Game overlay settings. Edit before playing; live overlays are click-through. Ctrl+Enter accepts, Esc cancels, F6 changes preview screen. Save overlay settings afterward.

Limitations: manual scoreboard alignment; exclusive fullscreen unsupported; automatic Probuilds/Onetricks feeds not connected. Live League overlay validation remains pending. No enemy cast tracking, spell countdowns or Riot endorsement. Installer metadata is publisher-signed for the updater; installer is not Windows Authenticode-signed.
