1.8.1-classic

• Added the Network button to the main menu.
• Added real-time discovery of online guild members currently running Max Adventure Journal Classic / SoD.
• Added a normal movable Guild Network window showing character, class, level, addon version and current zone.
• Added manual Refresh, automatic refresh while the window is open, and /maj network.
• Discovery uses the private WoW addon-message channel for the guild; no public chat message is produced.
• Added compatibility with both C_ChatInfo and the legacy Classic addon-message API.
• Added randomized replies, scan throttling and stale-result cleanup to reduce guild addon traffic.
• The main-menu button displays the number of MAJ users detected during the current scan.

1.8.0-classic

• Added Writing Engine 3.0, replacing the generic long-form generator for complete parchment chronicles.
• Added location-aware environmental interpretation using the detected zone, dungeon, instance and chapter segments.
• Integrated the matched local lore topic directly into the narrative without introducing scenery unsupported by the location.
• Added environmental vocabularies for fungal marshes, fel battlefields, tomb complexes, haunted towers, volcanic fortresses, plague zones, deserts, forests, frozen regions, arcane complexes, titan halls, cities, caves, coasts and void-altered areas.
• Added editorial anti-repetition control for paragraph similarity, repeated structures and template residue such as quest(s) or hostile contact(s).
• Added automatic scene inference when the client records only one chapter segment.
• Improved climax detection using combat, deaths, PvP, recovery, healing, loot, quests, notes and segment duration.
• Added concrete class-role narration for every supported class instead of referring to the protagonist as “the character”.
• Added validated companion deduplication, retaining the most reliable positive level and removing duplicate or unknown identities from the prose.
• Added narrative profile pronouns through /maj profile pronoun auto|he|she|they.
• Added three output modes: Narrative, Compact, and Full, selectable from Settings or /maj exportmode narrative|compact|full.
• Set Compact as the new editorial default, preserving a concise expedition record beneath the literary chronicle.
• Removed false travel phrasing when the start and end zones are identical.
• Replaced generic moral conclusions with endings grounded in the actual location, combat count, companions, loot, reputation and progression recorded during the run.
• Preserved the previous guild/party RP compact output and all existing archive, reader, copy, GDR and privacy functions.

1.7.7-classic

• Rebuilt external text selection for Microsoft Word compatibility.

• Removed WoW color, texture, atlas and hyperlink control codes before export.

• Added UTF-8 validation and removal of hidden control bytes that could make Word reject pasted text.

• Replaced byte-count selection with full EditBox selection and deferred focus restoration.

• Renamed the parchment action to Select All to clarify that Ctrl+C is still required by the WoW client.

• Preserved the selected text when changing application focus.

• Reordered the main menu for faster use: history browsing is now grouped more clearly and the old Latest / Older / Newer labels were replaced with Recent / Prev / Next.

• The menu now shows the number of saved stories and the currently selected story, so Read is easier to understand before opening the parchment.

1.7.5-classic

• Fixed GDR ON chat output so automatic RP lines are sent as real SAY or EMOTE messages.
• Removed the visible internal local RP [EMOTE] diagnostic prefix.
• Preserved chat-draft fallback for unsupported clients.

1.7.4-classic

• Corrected the parchment Read command so it opens the history entry currently selected with Latest, Older, or Newer.
• The reader no longer forces the newest chronicle when an older archived story is selected.
• Copy continues to use the complete parchment text of the selected story.

New in v1.7.3-classic:

• Reworked the parchment reader typography with built-in fantasy fonts: Morpheus for headings and Friz Quadrata for body text.
• Copy now uses a Word-ready plain-text formatter that removes empty spacer paragraphs and trailing whitespace.
• The full parchment chronicle remains the copied source; the shorter main-menu summary is not used.
• Reduced parchment line-height estimation for a denser, more book-like reading layout.
• Note: World of Warcraft exposes copied EditBox content as plain text, so Word controls the final external font; the exported hierarchy and spacing are now optimized for high-quality paste results.
