ThreadPilot v1.3.0

ThreadPilot v1.3.0 adds the first localization foundation for the app, including English and Simplified Chinese resources, a language selector in Settings, localized notification support, and safe fallback behavior for invalid or missing translation keys.

English remains the default language, while Simplified Chinese is available as an optional display language. This release does not change elevation, system tweaks, affinity, power plan, or privileged process behavior.

What's Changed

• Add safe localization support by @PrimeBuild-pc in #24
• Prepare v1.3.0 release by @PrimeBuild-pc in #25

v1.1.6

This release focuses on a Windows 11 native visual refresh and UI polish across the app.

What’s Changed

• Refreshed the app’s visual style with more neutral Windows 11 / Fluent-inspired surfaces.
• Updated light and dark theme tokens for cleaner contrast and more consistent cards, panels, borders, and controls.
• Polished the main shell, sidebar, navigation states, dialogs, overlays, and status bar.
• Refined the visual layout of Settings, Tweaks, Process Management, CPU Masks, Power Plans, Rules, Activity Logs, and Performance.
• Reduced heavy shadows, saturated panels, and custom-looking dashboard elements for a calmer native feel.
• Improved sidebar styling by removing overly visible separator lines.
• Clarified Start minimized behavior: manual launches open normally by default, while explicit user settings and startup arguments are still respected.
• Updated release notes, changelog, and project version metadata to v1.1.6.
• Cleaned up many analyzer/style warnings while keeping behavior unchanged.

Validation

• Build passed.
• Test suite passed: 149/149 tests.
• Manual checks covered theme switching, navigation, startup behavior, Settings, Rules, Logs, Performance, and tray restore behavior.

v1.1.5

ThreadPilot v1.1.5 improves stability, responsiveness, background efficiency, and release packaging.

Highlights:

• Fixed dashboard restore/off-screen behavior after monitor, DPI, resolution, or VM display changes.
• Improved tray restore actions for Open Dashboard and Open Performance.
• Added default low-impact background mode: ThreadPilot lowers its own priority while minimized or hidden to tray, then restores it in foreground.
• Reduced unnecessary refreshes, tray updates, and theme reapplications.
• Fixed repeated dark/light theme switching so the UI no longer gets stuck in a mixed theme state.
• Added a themed unsaved-settings dialog and improved settings dirty tracking.
• Added a visible Low impact mode in background setting.
• Expanded bundled power plan support and recursive .pow discovery.
• Cleaned GitHub Release assets so only user-facing downloads are published.
• Moved Chocolatey publishing to manual/optional due moderation delays.

Build passed and the test suite passed with 139 tests.
