TypeMaster v1.11.13 — Exit confirmation and startup updates

TypeMaster v1.11.13 — Exit confirmation and startup update checks

• Ask before exiting TypeMaster through Esc at the welcome screen, the window Close button or tray-menu Exit. No is the default; declining keeps the application open.
• Confirmed exit uses normal cleanup and saves an unfinished typing exercise for recovery. The already-confirmed update installation avoids a duplicate exit prompt.
• Check for a newer stable release on every launch when automatic checks are enabled, including reopening on the same day.
• Stay silent at startup when up to date or offline. Declining an available update skips the notification for that launch; reopening checks again.
• Preserve existing automatic-update preferences and keep download and installation under user control.

Validation: 855 native checks passed before packaging. Release packaging reruns native checks and PDF text-selection and pagination verification. Full manual installation/upgrade is not exercised by these automated checks.

Download the Windows installer, or extract the complete portable ZIP and open native-win-x64-1.11.13/TypeMaster.exe. Close the running application before updating. Existing candidate data stays in the per-user application-data directory.

TypeMaster v1.11.12 — Reliable typing tests

TypeMaster v1.11.12 — Reliable typing tests and completed-word locking

• Recover text alignment after inserted or omitted characters, avoiding cascading error penalties. The existing five-stroke penalty arithmetic remains; new attempts identify the aligned comparison policy. Historical candidate records are preserved.
• Audit native input, session metrics and disk reload for all 128 bundled samples (up to 120 characters per sample).
• Keep passage wrapping anchored and advance by visual lines rather than shifting at each word.
• Lock completed test words after Space or Enter. The unfinished word stays editable; previous words cannot be changed through Backspace, Delete, cut or selection replacement. Recovery restores the lock.
• Move the typing instruction below the input area with a clear gap.
• Esc follows the current screen's close/cancel action, preserving test cancellation confirmation, and closes secondary windows.
• Preserve extra typed characters and prevent premature completion after insertions. Zero-net results cannot pass with unspecified minimums.

Validation: 849 native checks passed before release packaging. The release build reruns native and PDF extraction, selection and pagination checks. Installer compilation is checked; a complete manual installation/upgrade is not exercised by automated checks.

Download Setup.exe to install, or extract the complete win-x64.zip and open native-win-x64-1.11.12/TypeMaster.exe. Close TypeMaster and the Typing Meter tray icon before updating. Profiles remain in the existing per-user data folder.

TypeMaster v1.11.11 — Faster typing input

TypeMaster v1.11.11 — Faster typing input

This release shortens the synchronous typing-input path while preserving the approved UI layout and final scoring rules.

• Queued input takes priority over passage painting. Repeated text/caret events share one latest-state display update.
• Passage scrolling follows normal WPF layout; typing no longer forces passage layout.
• Empty error-feedback overlays skip line-geometry calculations and redundant idle redraws.
• The isolated benchmark now separates synchronous input work from subsequent dispatcher/redraw work.

Local measurements: average synchronous input handling fell from about 8–12 ms to 0.6–1.1 ms. These are not physical key-to-screen timings: subsequent screen redraw work still averages approximately 21–27 ms in this run and varies with machine load. Every measured character was preserved. Performance details.

Validation: 578 native checks passed, including a 600-character input burst coalesced into one latest-state passage paint, exact response/scoring preservation, number scrolling, corrections and recovery. Existing PDF extraction, selection and pagination checks passed. Installer compilation passed; a complete manual installation/upgrade was not exercised in this run.

Downloads

• Setup.exe: install/update for the current Windows account.
• win-x64.zip: extract completely and run native-win-x64-1.11.11/TypeMaster.exe without installing.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: verify both downloads.

Windows 10/11 x64; .NET runtime included. Back up profiles and close TypeMaster and the Typing Meter before manually updating. The installer is unsigned.

TypeMaster v1.11.10 — Typing responsiveness fix

TypeMaster v1.11.10 — Typing responsiveness fix

This release fixes severe input delays during typing tests while preserving the approved UI and PDF design.

• Removed synchronous recovery disk writes from individual keystrokes. Recovery now uses a coalescing background worker with atomic file replacement.
• Reduced passage rendering from hundreds of individual character objects to grouped text runs, and removed duplicate caret redraws.
• Moved live metrics and bounded word feedback to the exercise timer. Final scoring and report comparison rules remain unchanged.
• Reused the error sound instead of reopening it on each mistake.
• Added rapid-input, slow-storage, recovery ordering and cancellation regressions and an isolated typing benchmark.

Local benchmark averages improved from 446–485 ms to 13–31 ms per character across two local runs, with all measured characters preserved. These are local measurements, not guarantees for every computer. Validation details.

Validation: 576 native checks, selectable-text PDF checks and short/long report pagination checks passed. Installer compilation passed; a full manual installation/upgrade was not exercised in this run.

Downloads

• Setup.exe: install or update the Windows application.
• win-x64.zip: extract completely and run native-win-x64-1.11.10/TypeMaster.exe without installation.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: verify both downloads.

Windows 10/11 x64; .NET runtime included. Close TypeMaster and Typing Meter before manually replacing portable files. Back up profiles before updating. The installer is unsigned.

If a candidate completed a test while the application was visibly stalling, review that result and retest them using this version.
