Changelog

0.1.5 - 15-May-2026 - Companion 0.2.3 lifecycle hardening

This paired addon + companion release tightens the QR screenshot pipeline, update install flow, and live-panel suppression behavior.

Improved

• The in-game addon now recomputes QR suppression immediately after hooking a newly loaded Blizzard info panel that is already visible. First-opening panels such as Encounter Journal, Achievements, Collections, or Settings should no longer leave the QR visible until a later event.
• The companion now surfaces marker-bearing screenshot decode failures directly in the overlay footer as shot failed, with the file path and parse/CRC reason in the tooltip.
• Companion Settings and tray update actions now share an update-in-progress state, so repeated clicks cannot start duplicate installer/download workers.

Fixed

• Fixed corrupt ApplicantScout QR screenshots being deleted after a parse failure without any visible companion feedback.
• Fixed stale screenshot watcher signals after changing the Screenshots folder; old-path snapshots and clears are ignored after a replacement watcher becomes active.
• Fixed no-system-tray sessions so the companion does not disable last-window-close quitting when no tray control surface exists.
• Fixed pending overlay geometry saves being lost on tray/control quit paths immediately after moving or resizing the window.

Notes

• No wire-format changes since 0.1.4; the companion still supports ApplicantScout payloads through v4.
• ApplicantScout remains the in-game data-source half of the setup; the desktop companion renders Warcraft Logs / RaiderIO context.
• Recommended companion version: 0.2.3 or newer.

0.1.4 - 15-May-2026 - Companion 0.2.2 scoring and update flow

This paired addon + companion release focuses on making Mythic+ fit scoring more trustworthy and making companion updates easier to notice and install.

Changed

• Reworked the companion's Mythic+ fit formula so relevant Warcraft Logs bracket performance is the primary signal.
• Key level, same-dungeon evidence, profile consistency, and RaiderIO still matter, but they no longer turn weak logs into a good-looking score.
• Sparse coverage is now treated as weaker evidence instead of a free score bonus.
• Low-key farm parses no longer inflate scores for much higher hosted keys.
• Very high-key evidence still helps, but low parses at very high keys are bounded so they do not look better than they should.
• Fit labels now line up with the visible WCL-style color bands:
  • 0-49: RISK
  • 50-69: OK
  • 70-84: FIT
  • 85+: TOP

Improved

• The companion update install action now uses a clearer title-bar download icon.
• When the companion starts with WoW and finds an installable update, Settings can open with a direct update prompt instead of staying quietly hidden.
• Self-updates now return the user to the visible companion Settings flow after installing.

Fixed

• Fixed cases where applicants with all-grey or mostly-grey Mythic+ logs could show as blue or overly positive.
• Fixed high current or main RaiderIO from rescuing weak WCL evidence into an inflated Mythic+ fit.
• Fixed poor extra dungeon logs accidentally reducing sparse-evidence penalties.
• Fixed mixed-bracket cases where old low-key farm logs could distort the fit for the hosted key.
• Fixed a visual contradiction where a blue-range numeric score could still be labelled RISK.

Previous paired update included

• Added the compact Ko-fi support heart in companion Settings.
• Added the in-app update install icon that appears only when a valid companion update is available.
• Added companion version text to Settings and first-run window titles.
• Refreshed the CurseForge overlay screenshot for the addon page.
• Defaulted first-run Warcraft Logs data scope to Mythic+ only.
• Simplified companion Settings: close hides to tray, full quit lives in the tray menu, and secondary actions moved into a cleaner footer/menu layout.
• Matched Mythic+ parse colors to Warcraft Logs buckets.
• Split group applicant rows into package fit and individual member fit so group score and player score are no longer visually mixed.
• Hardened the updater repository target, installer metadata checks, installer error visibility, and duplicate install boundaries.
• Fixed Test WCL status being overwritten by Saved.
• Hardened Warcraft Logs cache, quota handling, stale worker lifecycle, and group scoring edge cases.

Notes

• No Lua runtime or wire-format changes since 0.1.3.
• ApplicantScout remains the in-game data-source half of the setup; the desktop companion renders Warcraft Logs / RaiderIO context.
• Recommended companion version: 0.2.2 or newer.

0.1.3 - 15-May-2026 - Companion 0.2.0 release train

Changed

• Refreshed the public addon release for the paired Applicant Scout Companion 0.2.0 release.
• Updated public install copy to point users at the latest companion release without pinning a companion version in the addon README.

Notes

• No Lua runtime or wire-format changes since 0.1.2.
• ApplicantScout remains the in-game data-source half of the setup; the desktop companion renders Warcraft Logs / RaiderIO context.

0.1.2 - 14-May-2026 - Wago publishing

Added

• Added Wago Addons release metadata and automated Wago upload support.

0.1.1 - 13-May-2026 - CurseForge publishing polish

Changed

• Added CurseForge project metadata so automated uploads target the public ApplicantScout project.
• Updated public copy to use stable companion release links and the current public addon/companion repository names.
• Refreshed the marketplace logo to match the in-game applicant parse overlay.

Fixed

• Fixed the Windows release workflow Lua compiler lookup used by tag preflight.

0.1.0 - 12-May-2026 - First public release

Added

• Added the in-game ApplicantScout addon for Mythic+ applicant capture.
• Added QR screenshot transport for Applicant Scout Companion.
• Added support for grouped applicants, playstyle selection, QR movement, manual sync commands, and diagnostic status output.
• Added optional RaiderIO main-score transport when RaiderIO exposes the data.

Notes

• ApplicantScout requires Applicant Scout Companion for the external WCL/RaiderIO overlay.
• The addon uses normal WoW screenshots for transport. It does not read memory, inject code, automate gameplay, or use chat messages as a data channel.
