v1.4.3

Fixed

• Linux bundle — font selection: _load_bundled_fonts() now explicitly sets
  Ubuntu as the application font after registering the bundled .ttf files.
  The libfontconfig.so bundled by PyInstaller has its default config path
  hardcoded to the build machine's conda prefix; on any other machine that path
  is absent and fontconfig fails silently, leaving Qt with no valid system font
  and an unpredictable default. Forcing Ubuntu bypasses fontconfig for font
  selection while the runtime hook (pyi_rth_fonts.py) still provides a
  portable fonts.conf so rendering settings (anti-aliasing, hinting…) are
  inherited from the system /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.

v1.4.2

Fixed

• Linux bundle: fonts and font size are now identical between local and CI
  builds. The fonts.conf embedded by PyInstaller contained absolute paths to
  the build machine's conda environment; on any other machine those paths are
  missing and Qt fell back to system fonts only, at a different size. Fix: conda
  fonts (fonts-conda-ecosystem: Ubuntu, DejaVu, Inconsolata, SourceCodePro)
  are included in the bundle via pbrenamer.spec for glyph coverage; a runtime
  hook (hooks/pyi_rth_fonts.py) generates a portable fonts.conf at startup
  that includes the system /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and calls
  FcFini()/FcInit() to force fontconfig re-initialisation with the correct
  config — the system font is then resolved normally by Qt, with the same size
  as in the local run.
  (Closes #2)
• ReadTheDocs build: removed the pre_build step that attempted to run
  pyside6-uic on *.ui files — no such files exist (*_ui.py are committed
  hand-written sources); the stale step caused the RTD build to fail on every
  tag since 1.4.1

v1.4.1

Fixed

• audio_meta.read_field now returns None for video container files (MP4,
  MKV, MOV, …); previously read_field called mutagen directly without going
  through can_read, so mutagen — which can read MP4 tags — returned audio
  field values (title, duration, …) for video files; {au:…} tokens in a
  replacement template could therefore resolve on video files as if they were
  pure-audio files

v1.4.0 [YANKED]

Added

• settings.configure(config_dir) — new public function that overrides the
  configuration directory used by all settings and i18n functions; a single call
  redirects settings, i18n, and PatternPresets config I/O simultaneously;
  pass None to restore the platform default; intended for testing
• --config-dir DIR CLI option (both GUI and headless modes): overrides the
  configuration directory at startup before any settings access; intended for
  testing (noted in --help)
• Window geometry persistence for all windows and dialogs (except About):
  MainWindow, FileInfoWindow, HistoryDialog, SettingsDialog,
  ShortcutsDialog, and PatternHelpDialog save/restore size and position
  across sessions via WindowState.save_geometry / load_geometry
• LRU management for search, replace, and named-saves dropdowns: the most
  recently used entry is promoted to position 0 on each use; history is
  capped at 20 entries
• Mixed file-type replacement templates: when {im:…}, {vi:…}, or
  {au:…} tokens from more than one namespace appear in the same template,
  substitute() probes each namespace with can_read() at runtime — the
  applicable namespace follows strict behaviour (absent field without default
  → FieldResolutionError), non-applicable namespaces silently contribute
  "" without requiring a default
• {vi:…} field resolution now rejects files that have no video track even
  when MediaInfo returns a General track (e.g. JPEG files parsed by
  pymediainfo)
• UI layouts converted from Qt Designer .ui files to hand-written Python
  source (*_ui.py): main_window_ui.py, history_dialog_ui.py,
  settings_dialog_ui.py, about_dialog_ui.py — eliminates the Qt Designer
  file-parsing step at build time

Changed

• Test configuration isolation: conftest.py provides a config_dir autouse
  fixture that redirects all settings I/O to a per-test temporary directory via
  settings.configure(); the real ~/.config/pbrenamer is never touched
  during test runs; tests that need direct file access can request the
  config_dir fixture to obtain the path
• Named saves storage format migrated from a flat JSON dict (no ordering
  guarantee) to an ordered JSON list [{"name": …, …config…}, …]; legacy
  dict files are read transparently and upgraded on next write
• patternHelp.PatternHelpDialog: geometry now restored in showEvent
  (first paint) rather than in the constructor, matching the behaviour of all
  other secondary windows

Fixed

• audio_meta.can_read now returns False for video container files (MP4,
  MKV, MOV, …) that carry no audio-only track; previously a General track
  from pymediainfo could satisfy the read check, causing {au:…} fields to
  attempt — and silently fail — audio tag extraction on video files
• Main window geometry was not restored at startup: restoreGeometry() was
  called in __init__ before show(), so the window manager ignored it;
  moved to showEvent (fires once via _geometry_restored flag)
• Named saves combo list order reverted to sorted order on a subsequent save:
  Qt's QCompleter (auto-attached to the editable QComboBox) received
  textChanged events from the embedded QLineEdit even while
  combo.blockSignals(True) was active, and could queue a deferred
  activated callback that called use_save with a wrong index; fixed by
  blocking the QLineEdit signals separately and using setCurrentIndex
  instead of setCurrentText during _populate_named_saves
• Preview pane appeared and immediately disappeared on the first click in the
  directory tree: _on_directory_selected was called twice for the initial
  path, the second call with the same path clearing the just-populated
  preview; fixed with an early-return guard when the path has not changed

Removed

• Qt Designer .ui files (about_dialog.ui, history_dialog.ui,
  main_window.ui, settings_dialog.ui) — replaced by *_ui.py Python
  sources
• tools/extract_ui_strings.py — no longer needed; translatable strings are
  extracted directly from Python source via pybabel

v1.3.0

Added

• Undo button displays the number of available undo levels — text changes to
  "Undo (N)" and the tooltip explains how many rename batches can be reverted
• Case-transform modifier in replacement field tokens: = (unchanged), -
  (lower), + (upper), ! (capitalise first char), * (Title Case)
• Centre-align (^) in replacement field tokens
• Toolbar-state and preview-delay persistence in Settings
• tools/po_check.py: PO file inspection tool using the babel library
  (statistics, untranslated entries, regex search, language diff) — replaces
  ad-hoc grep/msgfmt usage that breaks on multi-line entries
• src/pbrenamer/argparse_qt.py: add_qt_arguments() declares Qt CLI flags
  (--style, --platform, …) as a proper argparse argument group; collected in
  args.qt_args as single-dash tokens ready for QApplication; Qt options are
  hidden from the usage: line to reduce noise while remaining fully visible in
  the --help output
• tools/fix_po_files.py: utility to normalise PO file formatting in bulk
• Comprehensive test suite covering all source modules at 100%; includes the
  full main window (_on_preview, _refresh_conflicts, context menus, undo,
  conflict detection, drag-and-drop, keyboard shortcuts, settings dialog,
  file-info window, pattern-help dialog, presets, bookmarks, i18n bootstrap,
  and all core modules)
• Headless Qt test execution via QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen in conftest.py;
  QMenu.exec patched at module level so no blocking dialog appears during CI
  or local make test runs

Changed

• main() now uses parse_args() instead of parse_known_args(); unknown
  flags are rejected natively by argparse — _validate_qt_argv removed

Fixed

• {L} search-pattern token now matches Unicode letters; accented Latin
  (é, ê, ü, …), Cyrillic, Greek and all other Unicode letter categories
  are captured correctly — was limited to ASCII [a-zA-Z], now uses
  [^\W\d_] which covers all \w characters that are neither digits nor
  underscores
• Qt built-in translations are now loaded alongside the application catalogue
  so dialog buttons (OK, Cancel, Yes, No, …) are correctly translated
  when a non-English language is selected
• Pattern help dialog: HTML-escaped {1:<12} so the browser no longer
  interprets <12> as an HTML tag
• Fifteen # pragma: no cover guards on reachable logic replaced by targeted
  tests: case-insensitive no-match in rename_using_plain_text, zero-width
  regex guard, {newnum} CLI branch (start value, invalid start, no-match,
  field error, collision k+=1), rename failure exit path, main() headless
  dispatch, _parse_exif_datetime on malformed input, _read_iptc unknown
  key, _apply_case unknown modifier

v1.2.0

Added

• Shortcuts menu (Go → Shortcuts): navigate instantly to system directories
  (Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, Videos on all platforms;
  GTK bookmarks on Linux) and user-defined shortcuts
• Right-click on any directory in the tree to Add as shortcut; shortcuts are
  persisted to shortcuts.json in the user config directory
• Edit Shortcuts dialog (Go → Edit Shortcuts): reorder (Move up / Move down)
  and remove user-defined shortcuts
• File information window (View → File information): non-modal window that
  shows the actual values of all replacement fields ({date}, {mdatetime},
  {dir}, {im:…}, {au:…}, {vi:…}, …) for the currently selected file;
  updates live as the selection changes
• Restore last opened directory setting in the new Behaviour group of the
  Settings dialog; when enabled, the app reopens the last accessed directory at
  startup (CLI-provided directory always takes priority; default: disabled)
• make run now accepts an ARGS variable to forward arguments and options to
  the program (e.g. make run ARGS="--debug /some/dir")

Fixed

• email.utils was incorrectly listed in PyInstaller excludes, causing
  importlib.metadata calls in the About dialog to fail in packaged builds
• CI test job now compiles .mo catalogues before running the test suite,
  fixing four test_i18n.py failures (available_languages() globs .mo files
  which are gitignored and were absent on the runner)

Changed

• Executable names are now lowercase in the PyInstaller spec and CI artifact globs
  (e.g. pbrenamer-1.2.0-linux-x86_64 instead of PBRenamer-…)
• pybabel extract now uses --no-location to omit source-file/line-number
  comments from .po files; make translate is idempotent on an unchanged
  source tree, fixing make dist always producing a dev build instead of
  using the git tag version

v1.1.0

Added

• srcdist Makefile target: produces a source archive
  dist/pbrenamer-<ver>-src.tar.gz via git archive
• tools/git_version.sh: derives the version string from the exact Git tag
  when HEAD is tagged and the working tree is clean, falls back to dev;
  used by both dist and srcdist targets

Changed

• i18n toolchain replaced: xgettext/msgmerge/msgfmt/msginit removed in
  favour of pybabel extract/update/compile/init; babel.cfg mapping
  file added; gettext dependency replaced by babel in environment.yml

Removed

• .mo compiled catalogues removed from the repository (now gitignored); the
  CI regenerates them via pybabel compile before each PyInstaller build

v1.0.0

Added

• Translations for six new languages: German (de), Spanish (es), Italian
  (it), Russian (ru), Vietnamese (vi), and Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)
• All 272 translatable strings covered in each new locale; .mo files compiled
  and committed alongside the .po sources

v0.3.2

Release v0.3.2.

v0.3.1

Fixed

• README: remove insert/delete at position and manual rename from feature
  list (functions exist in filetools.py but are not wired to the GUI)
