🎯 What's New

This release focuses on fixing critical issues with the Whittling Helper feature and improving overall UI quality.

---

✨ Features & Fixes

🪓 Whittling Helper – Hybrid Modifier Support

• Fixed: Hybrid modifiers (ES+Mana, ES+Life) now correctly display their item level requirements.
• Improved: Enhanced text canonicalization to properly match clipboard mod text with database entries.
• Added: Fallback matching by tier number and tier name when canonical lookup fails.
• Merged: Consecutive mod lines sharing the same header now appear as a single entry (prevents duplicate display).

🧹 Whittling Helper – Cleaner Results

• Filtered: Implicit modifiers, enchants, and crafted mods are now properly excluded.
• Filtered: Base property lines (Energy Shield:, Armour:, etc.) no longer appear in whittling results.
• Result: Only explicit modifiers are shown, making the whittling analysis much clearer.

🖱️ Number Input Enhancement

• Added: Scroll wheel support for all number inputs across the overlay.
• Smart: Uses MutationObserver to automatically attach scroll handlers to dynamically added inputs.
• Works: In crafting panels, filter controls, and all future number inputs.
• Respects: Min/max bounds and step precision for accurate value adjustments.

✨ UI Polish

• Fixed: Malformed settings button icon that was displaying incorrectly.
• Replaced: With a clean, properly rendered 8-spoke gear icon.
• Improved: Icon sizing and SVG stroke attributes for crisp rendering.

📦 Category Loading

• Fixed: Added missing Precursor_Tablet category pattern.
• Result: Precursor Tablet items now load correctly in the modifier view.

📄 Full Changelog: v0.1.7 → v0.1.8

v0.1.7 – Whittling helper & synced merchant history

✨ New

• Whittling Helper: Copy an item as usual, then hover over the “WHITTLING” label in the header.
• Feature Selector: Significantly improved — some JSON files were still loading in the background, but now it’s fully optimized so only the features you activate will load and display.
• Bases Button to insta Modifiers view: Every Base has now a small button that brings you directly to the Modifiers view with the correct category opened.

🎛 Settings & UX Polish

• Added a settings button in the bottom-right corner of the overlay, plus an update notifier directly inside the overlay (only visible when a new version is available).
• Improved settings and hotkey handling.
• Fixed tray menu double-click issue.
• Added Jewels to the category dropdown (modifiers were already accessible via copying).
• The “Restart Overlay” popup now only appears when settings are changed and always stays on top of the overlay.
• The clipboard is no longer automatically cleared.
• Removed refresh tooltip lag.
• If only Bases are selected as a feature (no uniques), pressing “Items” will instantly open Bases. This applies to all menus with a single available entry.

📊 Merchant History

• Filters now apply universally — header totals, trade counts, and earnings charts all rebuild from the same filtered data. When it says “18 trades,” both the numbers and visuals reflect exactly that.
• recomputeHistoryChart now pulls from historyState.items, eliminating stale data points and visual drops when switching between timeframes or currencies.

🔧 Under the Hood

• Modifier parsing now preserves item header lines, allowing tier extraction from the clipboard while retaining metadata such as “Implicit” and “Explicit.”
• Feature loading is now scoped strictly to enabled modules, reducing startup load and unnecessary JSON parsing.
• Renderer typings cleaned up around new settings and feature metadata.

v0.1.6 - Enhanced Search and Merchant History

Version 0.1.6 brings significant improvements to search functionality, merchant history filtering, and debugging tools.

Key Features:
• Enhanced search system with tokenized queries and strict mode (exact phrase matching)
• Improved merchant history filters with colored currency and rarity chips
• Added clipboard timing debug slider (120-3000ms) in settings for troubleshooting
• Fixed tooltip flicker on refresh button during rate limit countdown
• Fixed currency filter "All" option to properly show all currencies

Search Improvements:

• Tokenized search splits multi-word queries into individual terms
• Strict mode (button next to search) for exact phrase matching
• Merchant history uses AND logic (all tokens must match)
• Modifier search uses OR logic (any token can match)

Filter Enhancements:

• Currency chips now display in appropriate colors (normal/magic/rare/unique/foil)
• Rarity chips color-coded for quick identification
• Currency "All" option now works correctly without sticky previous selections

Debug Tools:

• Clipboard delay slider in Debug Settings section
• Adjustable from 120ms to 3000ms in 50ms increments
• Default set to 300ms for optimal clipboard capture timing

Bug Fixes:

• Refresh button tooltip no longer flickers during countdown
• Currency filter properly resets when selecting "All"

v0.1.5 – Merchant history polish

Description:

• History list scales gracefully, shows numbered rows, highlights the active selection, and supports up/down arrow navigation.
• Header drag area stays active even when packed with badges and stats.
• Search digs through mod text, defenses, prices, and notes for quicker finds (e.g., “evasion” hits all matching details).
• Added “Other” type filter plus refined keyword mapping for gloves, boots, and weapons.
• Filter chips now clear instantly; numeric inputs respond to scroll wheel; enchant text resolves bracketed variants like specific charge type

XileHUD Overlay v0.1.4 – Smoother overlay, richer history

Highlights

• Added an ESC hotkey and refined the focus/blur flow so the overlay politely closes when you return to the game—no more constant on-top polling.
• Sped up item capture and adjusted the passive show path so clipboard grabs finish faster while keeping the overlay responsive.
• Introduced a chart expand toggle plus devicePixelRatio-aware canvas sizing for razor-sharp visuals in both compact and expanded layouts.
• Enriched history detail cards with defence stats, enchant and corrupted sections, and tighter spacing when items have short descriptions.

Fixes & polish

• Removed the 3s “stay on top” watchdog that caused flicker during screenshots.
• Ensured the history chart and detail pane resize cleanly without losing clarity.

Full Changelog: v0.1.1...v0.1.2

v0.1.1 - Item Parser Fix + Hotkey Configurator + Chaos/Regal support

🐛 Critical Fixes

Item Parser "Spirit" Bug Fixed

Fixed a critical bug where items with "Spirit" in their rare name (e.g., "Spirit Eye Breach Ring", "Spirit Grip Sorcerer Gloves") would incorrectly open a blank modifiers page or route to the gems page instead of displaying proper modifiers.

Root Cause: The renderer was using text-based gem detection that matched the word "spirit" anywhere in the item name, conflicting with actual Spirit Gems.

Solution: Changed gem detection to use the Item Class field instead of text matching, ensuring only actual gems (Skill Gems, Spirit Gems, Support Gems, Uncut Spirit Gems) route to the Character > Gems page.

Other Fixes

• Removed Ascendancy Passives and Currency from the modifiers category dropdown (they don't belong in modifiers)
• Fixed gems not instantly opening the Character > Gems page (previously flashed through modifiers first)
