What's New

Complete UI Redesign

• New wizard-style layout with sidebar navigation and step-by-step flow
• Flash mode: Console → Image → Panel → Customize → SD Card → Flash
• Overlay mode: Detect SD → Panel → Customize → Apply
• Mode tabs for quick switching between Flash and Overlay
• Window resized to 680x480 for better usability
• App version displayed in sidebar

R36S Soysauce Variant Support

• Full support for R36S Soysauce (Y3506 boards) with 7 panel options
• Soysauce panel overlays correctly loaded from overlays/soysauce/ subdirectory
• Automatic extlinux.conf switching when flashing soysauce variant
• Soysauce uses the original image with variant-specific device tree

Custom DTB Overlay Generation

• Generate panel overlays from stock firmware DTB files
• Uses bundled archr-dtbo.py script (requires Python 3 + fdt package)
• Available in both Flash and Overlay modes
• Custom overlays can be applied directly or used during flash

Windows 7 Compatibility

• Added delay-load shim for bcryptprimitives.dll (ProcessPrng)
• Falls back to RtlGenRandom on systems where ProcessPrng is unavailable
• Allows the flasher to run on Windows 7/8 without crashes

Linux AppImage Fix

• Fixed "Could not create default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER" on Wayland
• Automatic LD_PRELOAD of system libwayland-client.so when running as AppImage
• Resolves blank window on newer AMD (RDNA 4), Intel, and other GPUs

Bug Fixes

• HP invert detection: No longer reads __fixups__ as headphone detect, only checks the actual simple-audio-card,hp-det-gpio property
• Stick inversion: Fixed joypad detection using multiple properties (button-adc-scale, io-channel-names, compatible) instead of relying solely on joypad-name
• Overlay double-apply: Fixed overlay being applied twice when navigating through wizard steps
• Console name in summary: Flash summary now shows translated console names instead of raw IDs
• Latest version check: Automatically checks and displays latest available image version when selecting a console
• Overlay custom DTB flow: Custom DTB overlays now follow the wizard flow (customize → apply) instead of applying immediately
• DTBO subdirectory traversal: FAT32 reader now supports reading DTBOs from subdirectories (e.g. overlays/soysauce/)
• Variant passthrough: Flash now correctly passes the selected console variant for extlinux switching

Internationalization

• All 5 locales updated (en, pt-BR, es, zh, ru) with ~97 translation keys
• No hardcoded strings remaining in the UI
• Added keys for custom DTB, soysauce variant, and wizard navigation
