Kernova tooling 0.1.8-beta

Summary

• Split publish packaging and changelog handling by platform so Modrinth and CurseForge can use platform-specific release notes and artifacts.
• Added platform selection for packaging and PackPing sync paths.
• Improved upload/release flow so a successful platform can continue when the other platform fails during a combined release.
• Updated publish tests for the new partial-success release behavior.

Validation

• updater/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s updater/tests
• updater/.venv/bin/kernova-update validate --artifacts
• python3 publish/publish.py upload --latest --loader both --mc 26.1.2 --platform both --dry-run

Publishing

• Modrinth and CurseForge modpack uploads were not performed.
• PackPing feed sync/push was not performed.
• No remaining manual work is known.

Kernova tooling 0.1.7-beta

Kernova tooling 0.1.7-beta

Changes:

• Fixed Modrinth version numbers so releases for different Minecraft versions no longer collide when pack versions match.
• Reworked PackPing feed generation to preserve the latest build version for each Minecraft/loader line without downgrading entries during packaging.
• Made PackPing changelogs short and generic for in-game display.
• Changed PackPing download URLs to project homepages for Modrinth and CurseForge upgrade notices.
• Added regression tests for Modrinth version numbering, PackPing Minecraft-upgrade notices, homepage links, and same-Minecraft downgrade prevention.

Validation:

• updater/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s updater/tests
• updater/.venv/bin/kernova-update validate --artifacts
• python3 publish/publish.py upload --latest --loader both --mc 26.1.1 --platform both --dry-run
• python3 -m json.tool publish/config.json

Not performed:

• No Modrinth or CurseForge modpack uploads were performed.
• No PackPing feed sync or push was performed as part of this tooling release.

Remaining manual work:

• PackPing itself still needs a code update if toast-only notices should display when the local pack version is already equal to the feed entry version.

Kernova tooling 0.1.6-beta

Kernova tooling 0.1.6-beta

Tooling changes:

• Added changelog generation that compares rebuilds with the previous matching manifest and avoids duplicating generated sections from manual notes.
• Hardened CurseForge upload metadata by rejecting invalid environment IDs.
• Made Modrinth uploads idempotent when the target version already exists.
• Improved VartaPack Doctor launching with Java override support, runtime diagnostics, and a vendored Gson dependency.

Validation:

• updater/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s updater/tests
• updater/.venv/bin/kernova-update validate --artifacts
• Publish upload dry-run skipped because no Modrinth .mrpack or CurseForge .zip artifacts are present under publish/.

Modpack publishing was intentionally not performed, and the PackPing public feed was not pushed.

Remaining manual work:

• None for the tooling release.

Kernova tooling 0.1.5-beta

Kernova tooling 0.1.5-beta

Tooling-only beta release for the Kernova publish/update automation.

Changes

• Split PackPing feed handling into platform-specific Modrinth and CurseForge update files, remote filenames, update URLs, and download URL templates.
• Inject the correct platform-specific PackPing updateUrl into packaged configs for Modrinth, CurseForge, full, and Prism artifacts.
• Generate concise PackPing feed changelog entries and support blank or empty PackPing feed JSON files during validation.
• Add Modrinth project side metadata sync for client_side and server_side, including dry-run reporting.
• Expand publish channel handling to include alpha and reject invalid configured release types.
• Update CurseForge game version metadata with the configured environment id and add tests for packaging, upload, sync, and validation paths.

Validation

• updater/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s updater/tests
• updater/.venv/bin/kernova-update validate --artifacts
• python3 publish/publish.py upload --latest --loader both --mc 26.1 --platform both --dry-run

Publishing Scope

No Modrinth or CurseForge modpack artifacts were uploaded.
The PackPing public feed was not synced or pushed.

Remaining Manual Work

None.

Kernova tooling 0.1.4-beta

Kernova tooling 0.1.4-beta

• Changed Modrinth version_type and CurseForge release_type config to auto.
• Added publisher logic that derives release, beta, or alpha from the pack pack_version suffix, falling back to release for unknown or unsuffixed versions.
• Covered automatic release-channel metadata for CurseForge and Modrinth upload paths with unit tests.

Validation:

• updater/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s updater/tests
• updater/.venv/bin/kernova-update validate --artifacts
• Modpack upload dry-run skipped because no .mrpack or .zip artifacts exist in the working tree.

Modpack publishing was intentionally not performed. PackPing feed was not pushed.

Remaining manual work: none.

Kernova tooling 0.1.3-beta

Kernova tooling 0.1.3-beta

Tooling-only beta release for the Kernova publish and validation pipeline.

Changes

• Added CurseForge file fingerprint resolution so generated CurseForge modpack manifests reference project/file IDs instead of embedding resolved mod jars under overrides.
• Added support for configured CurseForge file overrides when a mod jar should be mapped without calling the fingerprint API.
• Added CurseForge modlist.html generation and safer publish error handling for manifest packaging failures.
• Tightened artifact validation to reject CurseForge zips with missing file references or embedded mod jars.
• Expanded updater tests for CurseForge packaging, unmatched jar failures, configured file overrides, and artifact validation.

Validation

• updater/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s updater/tests passed: 35 tests.
• updater/.venv/bin/kernova-update validate --artifacts passed with 0 errors and 3 expected warnings because no publish artifacts/feed output are present.
• Upload dry-run was skipped because there are no generated Modrinth/CurseForge artifacts to dry-run.

Publishing

• No Modrinth or CurseForge modpack artifacts were uploaded.
• PackPing feed was not pushed.
• No remaining manual work for this tooling release.

Kernova tooling 0.1.2-beta

Kernova tooling 0.1.2-beta

Changes

• Added CurseForge-specific modpack zip generation with a manifest.json and overrides/ layout, replacing the previous full-overrides zip upload artifact path.
• Updated CurseForge artifact selection and package output naming to use publish/curseforge/**/*-curseforge.zip.
• Added validation for CurseForge modpack zips, including manifest type/version, Minecraft version, mod loader metadata, and overrides folder presence.
• Split real release uploads for --platform both so Modrinth and CurseForge uploads are handled explicitly after the dry-run gate.
• Removed the now-unused allow_full_overrides_zip publishing config flag.

Validation

• updater/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s updater/tests passed: 32 tests.
• updater/.venv/bin/kernova-update validate --artifacts passed with 0 errors and 4 expected missing-artifact warnings.
• Platform upload dry-run was skipped because no build/modpack artifacts exist in this checkout.

Publishing

• Modrinth and CurseForge modpack artifacts were intentionally not uploaded for this tooling-only release.
• The PackPing public feed was intentionally not synced or pushed.

Remaining Manual Work

• None.

Kernova tooling 0.1.1-beta

Kernova tooling 0.1.1-beta

This tooling beta fixes NeoForge .mrpack dependency resolution so modern Minecraft versions resolve against the exact NeoForge patch branch instead of drifting to a newer incompatible branch.

Changes:

• Added exact NeoForge Maven prefix handling for both legacy 1.x and modern 26.x Minecraft versions.
• Pinned known NeoForge loader versions for 26.1, 26.1.1, and 26.1.2.
• Added artifact validation that rejects NeoForge .mrpack files whose dependency does not match the Minecraft patch branch.
• Added unit coverage for NeoForge dependency selection and artifact validation.
• Bumped the updater package metadata to 0.1.1b0.

Validation:

• updater/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s updater/tests passed.
• updater/.venv/bin/kernova-update validate --artifacts passed with 0 errors and 3 expected warnings because no generated builds, Modrinth artifacts, or PackPing update JSON are present in this checkout.
• python3 publish/publish.py upload --latest --loader both --mc 26.1 --platform both --dry-run was not completed because no matching build_manifest.json exists in builds/.

Modpack publishing was intentionally not performed for this tooling-only release.
PackPing feed publishing was intentionally not performed.
