Changelog

0.7.1

• Chore: Update interface version

0.7.0 - 2026-04-16

• Add: Automated release pipeline — GitHub Actions with BigWigs packager for CurseForge uploads, localization substitution, and GitHub Releases
• Change: Cursor Ring Preview is now a button ("Start Preview" / "Stop Preview") instead of a toggle, so it reads as a tool rather than a setting
• Change: Cursor Ring renamed to Cursor Ring & Trail
• Change: Cursor Ring trail max points increased from 80 to 400
• Change: Cursor Ring trail performance improved — dot positions set once on placement instead of every frame, dormant mode when cursor is idle, and hitch recovery after loading screens
