[v0.3.0] — 2026-06-02

Added

• SECURITY.md with vulnerability disclosure policy
• Release checklist in GOVERNANCE.md
• 32-test integration suite (guard, config, ops, gvas, ini backup/restore)
• Fuzz target for GVAS parser (parse_gvas)
• Second fuzz target (full_metadata) — exercises IntProperty, DoubleProperty, and additional StrProperty/BoolProperty code paths
• fuzz/Cargo.toml manifest with both fuzz targets registered
• Set save folder menu option — manual path entry with clipboard paste support (bracketed paste mode), replaces auto-discovery as the primary way to set the save location
• cargo clippy, cargo audit, and cargo-deny in CI
• deny(unsafe_code) in library crate
• Build script validates CHANGELOG has current version entry

Fixed

• Index-out-of-bounds panic in all four GVAS property extractors (extract_str_property, extract_bool_property, extract_int_property, extract_double_property) when a property name appeared too close to the end of the buffer — discovered by fuzzing the existing parse_gvas target

Deprecated

• Auto-scan for save folders (Locate save files menu item / discovery.rs module). Scans user profiles and system directories, which is a privacy concern. Shows a deprecation notice once per session. Scheduled for removal in v0.4.0 — use Set save folder instead.

Changed

• Zero compiler warnings
• Example dump_samples compiles and runs
• fuzz/target/ added to .gitignore
• Fuzz targets rewritten from #[fuzz] attribute to libfuzzer_sys::fuzz_target! macro for nightly-toolchain compatibility
• No auto-scan on startup — the application no longer scans user profiles and system drives for save folders at launch. Only the cached path from config.ini is loaded.
• Menu is always 9 items — Set save folder is always visible. Locate save files is always visible (with deprecation label). No conditional hiding or index remapping.
• ensure_save_folder() and get_ini_path() no longer fall back to discover_save_folders(). They use the cached path or error with a message.
• is_cloud_path() removed — was only used by the discovery-era cloud detection path.
• Zero clippy warnings on CI — fixed collapsible_match (6 instances), empty_line_after_doc_comments, and manual_is_multiple_of lints from rustc 1.95 nightly.
• KNOWN_ISSUES.md moved from docs/ to project root — reflects v0.3.0 privacy improvements (manual path entry live, discovery deprecated).

Notes

• Working copy diverged from remote after signing the previous commit on a different clone. Resolved via git reset --soft origin/master (no content lost, identical tree).

[v0.2.3] — 2026-06-01

• Zero compiler warnings (deny(unsafe_code), allow(dead_code) where intentional)
• Example dump_samples compiles and runs
• 100% function doc coverage with automated check script
• last_path → save_path, last_scan → save_scan, config_path → ini_path
• Windows executable renamed to NotAlterra.exe
• Diligence skill added for verification

Security

• Logged paths truncated at Subnautica2/ — personal paths removed

[v0.2.0] — 2026-06-01

• Zero compiler warnings (deny(unsafe_code), allow(dead_code) where intentional)
• Example dump_samples compiles and runs
• last_path → save_path, last_scan → save_scan, config_path → ini_path
• Windows executable renamed to NotAlterra.exe
• Removed unused dependencies (sysinfo, log, simplelog)
• Playtime zero-padded to 2 digits (03h 05m)
• Header and blank rows non-navigable in pickers

Fixed

• Playtime extraction on production saves (fallback byte-scan for DoubleProperty)
• File picker column alignment and spacing tightened

[v0.1.3] — 2026-06-01

• Zero compiler warnings (deny(unsafe_code), allow(dead_code) where intentional)
• Example dump_samples compiles and runs
• "Multiplayer" / "Single Player" used consistently throughout picker and inspector
• Release archives moved to builds/ directory
• Playtime zero-padded to 2 digits (03h 05m)
• Header and blank rows non-navigable in pickers

Fixed

• Playtime extraction on production saves (fallback byte-scan for DoubleProperty)
• File picker column alignment and spacing tightened

[v0.1.2] — 2026-06-01

• Zero compiler warnings (deny(unsafe_code), allow(dead_code) where intentional)
• Example dump_samples compiles and runs
• Replaced process detection (tasklist/pgrep) with startup warning modal to avoid Windows Defender false-positive (Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml)
• "Online" / "Local" renamed to "Multiplayer" / "Single Player" throughout
• Date format changed to YYYY-Mon-DD HH:MM
• Status bar text removed — whale-only row
• "Back" option added to .ini submenu
• All save/ini operations now show file counts

Fixed

• .ini backup now shows OK confirmation dialog
• .ini restore returns file count
• Fullbackup restore returns file count
• Dashboard stats filter by savegame_* prefix
• OK dialog width padding prevents text clipping
• File picker column alignment tightened

[v0.1.1] — 2026-05-31

Changed

• Zero compiler warnings (deny(unsafe_code), allow(dead_code) where intentional)

• Example dump_samples compiles and runs

• "Recover .sav file from .bak" renamed to "Recover save file" (less technical)

• Dashboard stats now filter by savegame_* prefix, matching the file picker

• Save/Backup labels pluralize based on count

• Zero compiler warnings (deny(unsafe_code), allow(dead_code) where intentional)

• Example dump_samples compiles and runs

• Improved game-running exit message — explains why save files are at risk

Fixed

• Background scan thread panic no longer hangs the application
• Arrow-key navigation no longer overshoots — KeyEventKind::Release events filtered
• GVAS metadata popup renders all 11 fields (was clipped to 2 because of Paragraph::new(Span))
• Header path now shows tail of path (e.g. …\Subnautica2\Saved\SaveGames) instead of truncated prefix
• Confirmation popup always appears — hard require_backup block replaced with soft warning

Security

• Game-running detection at launch and before each destructive operation
• .ini delete guarded by requiring at least one ini_backup_* directory
