k1tbyte/Wand-Enhancer 2.0.0.0-rc.1

on GitHub

Important

• The bundled version.dll proxy is gone. The launcher starts Wand as a child process, apply patches in every process Electron spawns, and detaches once startup settles. This is what fixes Wand refusing to launch after enhancing on related issues: #207 #210 #211 #213 #214 #217
• The native helper and its CMake build step were removed. Building from source no longer needs CMake or the Visual Studio C++ workload.
• WandEnhancer now installs itself as the Wand launcher entry point, so starting Wand goes through the patcher. Restoring a backup puts the original launcher back.

Features

• Auto-patch after Wand updates. Enable Auto-apply after updates in the patch dialog and your selection is saved next to the launcher. When Wand updates and drops the patches, the next launch re-applies them. On failure the UI opens and shows which patch broke instead of silently starting an unpatched client.
• Rewritten patch engine with legacy version support. Patches are located structurally instead of by regex signature: each anchors on something Wand does not rename between builds. A client rebuild that only re-minifies no longer breaks patching, and older clients keep working. #178 #186
• A patch whose feature is missing from your client is now reported as skipped instead of failing the whole run, and failures name the patch that broke.

Fixes

• Fixed the "Buy Pro" banner still showing after a successful patch, and Pro not activating on newer clients.
• Fixed the Enhancer closing itself when any button was pressed. #184
• Fixed a half-written backup reporting the installation as patched, which blocked patching and restore at the same time.
• Fixed invalid ASAR integrity metadata produced from short reads, which could yield an archive the client rejects. #170
• Fixed the packer silently dropping files it could not read, for example while Wand was still running.
• Fixed archive tree lookups resolving the wrong parent and creating phantom directories in the header.
• Fixed hangs on symlink cycles and directory junctions while reading or packing an archive.
• Fixed the language switcher leaking a resource dictionary on every switch. #164
• Fixed Restore freezing the window while it ran.
• Fixed Squirrel install and update arguments breaking when the Windows user profile path contains spaces.
• Fixed a latent crash path from a patch type that had no configuration entry. #172
• Remote panel: fixed a blank page when the interface translations failed to load.
• Remote panel: fixed number inputs eating the decimal point while typing, and steppers drifting on fractional steps.
• Remote panel: fixed the increment control refusing to step from a value outside its option list.
• Remote panel: fixed endless two-second reconnect attempts, and reconnecting again after you disconnected on purpose.
• Remote panel: fixed installed-game updates not arriving when only the install location changed.
• Remote panel: fixed value writes silently doing nothing when the client bound to the bridge before it was ready.

Improvements

• Log messages in the desktop app are now translated into all 12 supported languages.
• The remote panel is now usable with a keyboard and a screen reader: dialogs trap focus and close on Escape, and controls have accessible names. Pinning a mod previously required a swipe and had no keyboard path at all, so mod rows now have a pin button.

Security and Privacy

• The panel's static file server now resolves every request inside the panel directory.
• The local bridge enforces the WebSocket framing rules required of a server (RFC 6455).
• Late trainer events naming a different trainer no longer overwrite the active trainer's values.

Maintenance

• The Electron bridge is now fully type-checked; roughly 200 latent typing gaps were fixed.
• build.ps1 and CI now run lint, type-check, and a dist verification step that syntax-checks the bundles and fails when dev-only payloads leak into a production build. CI runs on pull requests and pushes to master.
• Removed dead code: the version.dll project, an unused control and converter, and unused Pickle helpers.
