Veltrix v0.2.3 Release Notes

Release date: 2026-03-19

Overview

v0.2.3 introduces a new project-first workflow built around a dedicated home screen. This update improves project management, recovery safety, and day-to-day usability when building plugins.

Major Additions

Home Screen

The application now starts on a home screen where all projects are listed.

You can now:

  • Create new projects directly from the home screen
  • Open existing projects with one click
  • Manage projects from each project card

Project Creation Flow

A full New Project dialog is now available from the home screen.

The dialog includes:

  • Project name
  • Project location/folder
  • Java package name
  • Live path preview

Autosave

Projects now autosave every 10 seconds while editing.

Autosave behavior:

  • Runs in the background while a project is open in the editor
  • Saves graph/project state periodically
  • Helps prevent data loss from accidental closes or interruptions

Home Screen Project Actions

Each project card includes an action menu with:

  • Rename Project
  • Reveal Project Folder
  • Duplicate Project
  • Delete Project

Delete behavior:

  • Removes the project from Veltrix metadata and saved snapshot data
  • Does not delete your project folder files from disk

Version Display

The app version is now always visible on the home page header as v<version>.

The displayed value is sourced from Maven build metadata (pom version).

UX / UI Improvements

  • Home page layout moved to compact card/grid style for faster scanning
  • New Project and compile-related dialogs now use dark-theme styling
  • Improved project management flow from startup through compile

Notes for Existing Users

  • Existing projects remain compatible
  • Projects are still accessible through Veltrix project storage
  • Autosave updates timestamps and saved data as you work

Recommended Upgrade Validation

After upgrading to v0.2.3, validate the following:

  1. Open app and confirm the home screen appears first
  2. Create a new project and verify it appears in the home list
  3. Open a project and wait at least 10 seconds, then reopen to confirm autosave
  4. Test project actions (rename, duplicate, reveal folder, delete)
  5. Confirm the home header shows the current version label
