v1.0.18 — Chrome Web Store zh_CN / zh_HK / zh_TW _locales

v1.0.18 — 2026-07-07

Fixed

• 三处版本号同步：src/lib/version.ts 的 VERSION 常量从 1.0.16 同步到 1.0.18，与 manifest.json / package.json 对齐（v1.0.18 release 时漏改，与 v1.0.14 → v1.0.15 的漂移模式相同）。注意：Chrome Web Store 上传的是源码 3d3ec93 那一刻的版本（VERSION 仍是 1.0.16），用户从 store 看到的「关于」tab 会显示 1.0.16；这个 commit 跟 tag v1.0.18 一起，让本地源码与 git tag 保持一致，store 端不重传（无功能差异）。

Added

• _locales Chinese variant support。v1.0.14 只发了 zh/ 目录，Chrome Web Store listing 的下拉里只有「中文」。但很多用户用的浏览器语言是 zh-CN、zh-TW、zh-HK（三位 locale code），所以 dashboard 不匹配「zh」目录导致「中文」选项不可选。加 3 个新目录：
  • _locales/zh_CN/ — 与 zh/ 内容一致（简体中文，45 chars ≤ 132）
  • _locales/zh_HK/ — 香港繁体（45 chars ≤ 132）
  • _locales/zh_TW/ — 台湾繁体（45 chars ≤ 132）
  • 原 _locales/zh/ 保留（向后兼容仅 zh 的浏览器）
  • 新 locale 不影响运行时 src/lib/i18n/ 的 LocaleCode = 'zh'（Chrome store listing 和 runtime 走两套 i18n，设计决策见 v0.2.117 + v1.0.14）

v1.0.17

Added

• 新选项「链接背景颜色」（linkBgColor）。独立于 backgroundColor（新标签页背景色），用户可以给书签链接单独设置背景色。
• 「背景颜色」label 改成「新标签页背景色」。10 个 locale 同步更新。

Fixed

• 「文字颜色」设置现在真正作用于书签链接文字和目录标题。引入 --newtab-link-color CSS 变量插在 cascade 最前面。
• 纯白/纯黑 favicon 在对应背景下不可见问题。使用 filter: drop-shadow() 外发光柔光，color-mix(in oklch, var(--foreground) 50%, transparent) 自适应明暗。

v1.0.15 — Undo button: 'session-only' hint

v1.0.15 — Undo button: "session-only" hint

「回退」按钮下方加一行 hint 浮动文字

What's new

The undo button now ships with a small explanatory hint below it:

仅本次会话可回退，刷新后清空
Only undoable in this session; clears on refresh

The hint tells the user that the undo stack is in-memory only — refreshing the page (which commits the current layout to disk) clears the history, after which the undo button can no longer help. This was a frequent source of confusion ("why doesn't undo work after refresh?") that the user feedback wanted addressed.

Design

• Button itself is unchanged — same original size (≈33px tall, padding 7px 14px + font-size 1.2rem + line-height 1.4). We tried growing it to match the search input height, but the larger button felt visually heavy next to the search box.
• The hint floats below the button via position: absolute (top: calc(100% + 4px)) anchored to the .undo-wrap div. Because the hint is out-of-flow, it does not affect the topbar's flex layout — the search input and undo button stay cleanly aligned.
• 10 locale translations ship with the new string: en / zh / es / ar / hi / fr / pt / de / ja / ru. tsc --noEmit enforces that every catalog has the new undo.sessionHint key at compile time.
• hi / ar / ru translations are AI-generated — they're usable but may benefit from manual polish. The translation source lives in src/lib/i18n/catalog/<code>.ts.

DOM / CSS

<div class="undo-wrap">                    <!-- position: relative (anchor) -->
  <button id="undo_button">
    <span class="undo-label">回退</span>
    <span class="undo-count">1</span>
  </button>
  <span class="undo-hint">                 <!-- position: absolute -->
    仅本次会话可回退，刷新后清空
  </span>
</div>

.undo-wrap { position: relative; flex: 0 0 auto; margin-left: 8px; }
.undo-hint {
  position: absolute;
  top: calc(100% + 4px);
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
  font-size: 1.1rem;
  color: var(--muted-foreground);
  white-space: nowrap;
}

Fixed

• manifest.json / package.json / src/lib/version.ts version drift. The v1.0.14 release only bumped manifest.json and package.json — src/lib/version.ts stayed at 1.0.13. All three are now synced at 1.0.15. (This was the underlying reason the About tab showed a different version number than chrome://extensions.)

Files changed

File	Δ
src/lib/i18n/types.ts	+1 line (new MessageKey)
src/lib/i18n/catalog/*.ts (×10)	+1 line each (translations)
src/newtab/undo-button.ts	refactored DOM + visibility logic
styles/newtab.css	+.undo-wrap / .undo-hint styles
manifest.json / package.json / src/lib/version.ts	version sync
CHANGELOG.md	v1.0.15 entry

Bundle: newtab.js 29.19 KB gzipped (under the 80 KB budget).

Installation

• Chrome Web Store: upload build/newtab01-1.0.15.zip
• Edge Add-ons: upload the same zip (manifest already Edge-compatible per v1.0.13 store-submission cleanup)
• From source (developer): pnpm install && pnpm build && load dist/ as unpacked extension

Acknowledgements

The _locales/ Chrome Web Store listing translation support was added in v1.0.14 (the release immediately before this one). That work makes the per-store-locale dashboard translation flow possible for the new undo.sessionHint string going forward.

The undo button itself was originally added in v0.2.61 (see feat/drag-undo branch).

v1.0.13 — Chrome Web Store submission snapshot

v1.0.13 — 2026-06-24

Chrome Web Store submission snapshot. No functional changes — bundle size and behavior identical to v1.0.9. The intervening v1.0.10 → v1.0.13 patch bumps were all store-listing metadata only (image paths in docs/README.zh.md, GitHub topics, manifest description text).

Changed

• manifest.json description — rewrote in English (115 chars, 17-char safety margin under the 132-char Web Store limit). New copy: "Bookmark-driven new tab. Open folders as tab groups or in split view. 12 built-in themes + unlimited custom themes." v1.0.11's 42-char Chinese copy ("是基于书签的新标签页...") was an emergency stop-gap after the previous 138-char English copy tripped validation; v1.0.12 fixed that in English but still named "Chrome tab groups" specifically; v1.0.13 drops the Chrome brand so the same copy reads correctly on the Edge Add-ons store as well.
• docs/permissions.md — rewritten for the Chrome Web Store review team. Per-permission reason (function + why, no API-level details), host_permissions preamble explaining why <all_urls> is required, 5-bullet privacy summary. 781 words / 1000 cap.

Notes

• This is the build that was submitted to the Chrome Web Store (package: newtab01-1.0.13.zip).
• The same zip / manifest description will be used for the Edge Add-ons submission.
• No gh release create was issued for v1.0.10, v1.0.11, or v1.0.12 — they were docs/metadata-only patch bumps (CLAUDE.md §11.1) and did not warrant a release on their own. v1.0.9 → v1.0.13 covers the full pre-submission store-listing prep cycle.
• Manifest version sync: manifest.json / package.json / src/lib/version.ts all at 1.0.13.
• Store listing copy: docs/store-description.md (English) + docs/store-description.zh.md (中文).

v1.0.9 — Store submission prep (extension preview screenshots)

v1.0.9 — 2026-06-24

Notes

• docs/README.zh.md — Chinese README with cross-language link at the top
• docs/github-description.md — copy-paste ready text for the repo's About box (description + topics + this release draft)
• Repository description & topics refreshed

Notes
