Latest release

v0.0.39 - 2026-08-27: Config-backed device inventory

current

• Changed device ingestion to fetch the complete ROCKNIX config.xml alongside the public device page; named config entries now merge automatically, while unnamed device trees use a narrow explicit metadata overlay.
• Added seven config-backed devices omitted from the public list: Anbernic RG34XX SP, Anbernic RG DS, Anbernic RG Vita Pro, BatleXP G350, Powkiddy RGB20S, Retro Lite CM5, and RetrOLED CM5.
• Corrected RGB10 Max 3 Pro from RK3566 to its config.xml S922X platform, bringing the catalog to 67 devices with 22 marked Steam-supported.
• Audited live runtime sources with no version changes required: ROCKNIX remains at nightly-20260827, Steam Proton at 11.0-2, GE-Proton at 11-5, and ROCKNIX still pins CachyOS Proton 11.0-20260702-slr plus bundled GE-Proton 11-1.

v0.0.38 - 2026-08-27

Pocket FIT Elite catalog correction

• Added KONKR Pocket FIT Elite from ROCKNIX config.xml as a distinct SM8750 Steam-supported device; it was missing because the public ROCKNIX device page still omits this config-backed model.
• Kept the original KONKR Pocket FIT as its separate SM8650 entry, bringing the catalog to 60 devices with 22 marked Steam-supported.

v0.0.37 - 2026-08-27

August 27 upstream catalog refresh

• Refreshed the ROCKNIX nightly catalog through nightly-20260827, adding the five releases published from August 19 through August 27.
• Updated Steam Proton from 11.0-1b to 11.0-2, preserving inherited ARM support for the Proton 11 line; Steam Proton 10.0-4b and GE-Proton 11-5 remain current.
• Added AYANEO Pocket S Mini from ROCKNIX config.xml as an SM8550 Steam-supported device, bringing the catalog to 59 devices with 21 marked Steam-supported.
• Verified ROCKNIX's documented Steam-supported platform set is unchanged and its installer remains pinned to CachyOS Proton 11.0-20260702-slr and bundled GE-Proton 11-1; upstream CachyOS 11.0-20260703-slr remains intentionally unexposed.

v0.0.36 - 2026-08-15

August 15 upstream catalog refresh

• Refreshed the ROCKNIX nightly catalog through nightly-20260815, adding the five releases published from August 8 through August 15.
• Added GE-Proton 11-4 and 11-5; Steam Proton remains current at 11.0-1b and 10.0-4b.
• Added Anbernic RG-SP from ROCKNIX config.xml as an H700 device; H700 remains outside the documented Steam-supported platform set, so the catalog now contains 58 devices with 20 marked Steam-supported.
• Verified the ROCKNIX installer remains pinned to CachyOS Proton 11.0-20260702-slr and bundled GE-Proton 11-1, so the newer upstream CachyOS 11.0-20260703-slr release is still not exposed for ROCKNIX reports.

v0.0.35 - 2026-08-01

August upstream catalog refresh

• Refreshed the ROCKNIX nightly catalog through nightly-20260731, adding the five releases published from July 27 through July 31.

• Added Retroid Pocket Nova as an SM8550 Steam-supported device; the catalog now contains 57 devices with 20 marked Steam-supported.
• Verified the ROCKNIX installer remains pinned to CachyOS Proton 11.0-20260702-slr and bundled GE-Proton 11-1, so the newer upstream CachyOS 11.0-20260703-slr release is not exposed for ROCKNIX reports yet.

v0.0.34 - 2026-07-19

July 19 upstream catalog refresh

• Refreshed the ROCKNIX nightly catalog through nightly-20260718, adding nightly-20260716 and nightly-20260718.
• Added GameKiddy GKD Pixel2 as an RK3326 device from ROCKNIX config.xml; RK3326 remains outside the documented Steam-supported platform set.

• Added AYANEO Pocket S 1K as an SM8550 Steam-supported device from ROCKNIX config.xml; the documented Steam-supported platform set remains unchanged.

v0.0.31 - 2026-07-05

July upstream catalog refresh

• Refreshed the ROCKNIX nightly catalog through nightly-20260705, including the newer RK3576 platform metadata from upstream release assets.
• Added GE-Proton 11-1 to the runtime catalog while Steam Proton remains current at 11.0-beta5.
• Updated device metadata from upstream: Ayn Odin 3 now resolves to its ROCKNIX device page, while MANGMI Air X aliases remain searchable but SM6115 is no longer marked Steam-supported.
• Verified ROCKNIX still pins CachyOS Proton to 11.0-20260601-slr, so the newer upstream CachyOS 11.0-20260602-slr release is not exposed for ROCKNIX reports yet.

• Verified Steam Proton, GE-Proton, and the ROCKNIX-curated CachyOS Proton runtime are already current for ROCKNIX reports.

v0.0.29 - 2026-06-12

CachyOS runtime bump

• Verified ROCKNIX upstream bumped its Steam installer to 11.0-20260601-slr and the nightly-20260612 notes include that CachyOS Proton update.
• Updated the curated CachyOS Proton runtime option from 11.0-20260521-slr to 11.0-20260601-slr, preserving the ARM-only native ARM64 Steam path on ROCKNIX.
• Refreshed the generated Proton catalog so runtime autocomplete and filters expose only the currently supported CachyOS build.

v0.0.28 - 2026-06-07

CachyOS runtime refresh

• Updated the curated CachyOS Proton runtime options after ROCKNIX upstream bumped its Steam installer to 11.0-20260521-slr.
• Removed the stale 11.0-20260506-slr CachyOS option from generated runtime choices because the ROCKNIX installer cleans old proton-cachyos-*-arm64 directories.
• Marked the CachyOS Proton option as ARM-only: ROCKNIX downloads the arm64 tarball for the native ARM64 Steam path, while FEX remains a separate Steam x86 launch path.

v0.0.27 - 2026-05-30

Refactor prep + production validation

• Simplified shared report filter parsing so the Worker, local live server, and frontend use the same multi-select filter contract before v2 work.
• Reduced duplicated autocomplete render and search helper paths across Steam game, ROCKNIX device, ROCKNIX version, and runtime controls.
• Kept report validation setup in one Worker route helper while preserving the public API, D1 schema, and report submission behavior.
• Validated the production-backed Cloudflare preview with browser smoke tests, API parity checks, Lighthouse/curl benchmarks, and the full local verification suite before deployment.

v0.0.26 - 2026-05-28

Steam device catalog refresh

• Added AYN Odin 3, AYN Thor Lite, and AYANEO Pocket S 2K as Steam-capable device choices from the ROCKNIX upstream device config and platform documentation.
• Kept Retroid Pocket Mini V2 and Retroid Pocket 6 TOP-DPAD folded into the existing Retroid Pocket Mini and Retroid Pocket 6 choices, while alias search still maps those names to the canonical devices.
• Added SM8750 Steam support metadata and regression coverage for the refreshed Steam-capable device catalog.

v0.0.25 - 2026-05-23

CachyOS runtime catalog

• Added a curated CachyOS Proton runtime group so ROCKNIX's 11.0-20260506-slr runtime is selectable in new reports and runtime filters.
• Updated npm run update:proton so future runtime catalog refreshes preserve the ROCKNIX-supported CachyOS Proton entry instead of requiring a hand edit.
• Refreshed the runtime catalog from GitHub, including the latest compacted Steam Proton 11.0 beta while keeping grouped runtime filtering intact.

v0.0.24 - 2026-05-12

Accessibility hardening + table fit

• Raised muted text contrast across table metadata, footer stats, and the sidebar disclaimer while keeping the dense dark ROCKNIX look.
• Reduced report-table keyboard fatigue by making Tab move row-by-row and using arrow keys to move through row actions.
• Expanded compact mobile hit areas for filters, modal close controls, and rating actions without loosening the desktop table density.
• Restored submitter column sizing so production-length author names fit beside the Edit action without clipping or wrapping.
• Wrapped mobile footer stats and added a real Changelog release-history heading for cleaner small-screen and assistive-tech navigation.
• Fixed owner edit accessibility so collapsed Edit controls no longer reference missing action rows, and marked Explore as the current left-rail page.
• Made the report-table keyboard hint visible, moved the anti-abuse honeypot to a dedicated hidden field style, and documented the current design system rules.
• Reduced static payload by compacting built CSS and limiting Google Fonts to the weights used by the interface.
• Fixed built CSS compaction so autocomplete dropdowns stay anchored below their input fields instead of jumping to the top of the form control.

v0.0.23 - 2026-05-11

Device metadata + mobile dropdown hardening

• Added Steam support metadata to the device catalog and ROCKNIX device ingest mapping so /data/devices.json can identify supported Steam targets more explicitly.
• Hardened autocomplete touch handling so dragging inside mobile dropdown lists scrolls instead of selecting the touched option, while normal taps still select.
• Applied vertical touch panning to Steam, device, ROCKNIX, runtime, and rating dropdowns across the report modal and report filters.
• Polished Notes tip-card layout spacing for the larger troubleshooting card set and documented the device Steam metadata source.

v0.0.22 - 2026-05-09

Notes recovery + share links

• Added a soft-freeze recovery tip for SSH-responsive Steam/gamescope display stalls, with separate TERM, KILL, and display-seat reset steps.
• Clarified the RP6 frontend recovery path so emustation.service is treated as cleanup, while essway.service returns users to the normal Sway-based EmulationStation UI.
• Made Notes tip anchors easier to share with visible hash links, copied-link feedback, focus highlighting, and cleared selection states.
• Kept public notes beginner-facing by excluding internal scripts, disabled-by-default EmulationStation API assumptions, and duplicated command stacks.

v0.0.21 - 2026-05-08

Multi-select report filters

• Converted report filters for game, device, ROCKNIX version, runtime version, rating, and author into compact chip controls with OR matching within a field and AND matching across fields.
• Added a clear-all filter action and table-value filter shortcuts so clicking safe report values, such as game, device, runtime, rating, or submitter, adds the matching filter chip.
• Polished dropdown selection so choosing an option clears the typed query, keeps focus available for additional choices, removes already-selected options from suggestions, and shows field-specific all-matches-added states.
• Extended the API client, Worker routes, D1 report store, local live server, and shared filter utilities to preserve repeated query parameters for multi-select filters.

v0.0.20 - 2026-05-07

ROCKNIX testing notes page

• Added a dedicated Notes page with compact ROCKNIX Steam testing cards for direct EmulationStation and Steam config paths, host-library toggles, runtime arch, runtime versions, launch options, and useful logs.
• Added the Notes left-rail link above the external ROCKNIX Wiki link across the main, changelog, and notes pages.
• Curated plain-language HELLDIVERS 2 examples for system.cfg host-library values, Steam launch options, Proton logging, Proton Experimental selection, and TU_DEBUG=nolrz artifact troubleshooting.
• Mirrored the Notes release in CHANGELOG.md and pinned static-policy coverage for the new page, nav order, and representative settings copy.

v0.0.19 - 2026-05-02

Runtime catalog compaction + grouped filters

• Compacted Steam Proton catalog updates so each base release keeps only its latest build, including Proton 11.0-beta2 without retaining Proton 11.0-beta1.
• Kept Steam Proton Hotfix and Steam Proton Experimental pinned at the top of the Steam runtime list.
• Changed the report table runtime filter autocomplete to show base runtime families like Steam Proton 11.0 and GE-Proton 10 while the report modal still offers exact runtime builds.
• Made runtime filter matching tolerant of compact naming differences, so base-family filters match stored values such as GE-Proton9-27.
• Polished filter empty-state copy to distinguish grouped runtime families from exact report runtime versions.

v0.0.18 - 2026-04-30

Mobile notes density + visual fixtures

• Hid empty notes rows in the compact mobile report-card layout while preserving the desktop Notes column for table consistency.
• Removed the leading notes disclosure triangle so note text aligns directly with the table content while remaining the expand and collapse target.
• Added local demo reports with empty, blank, max-length, multiline, symbol-heavy, escaped HTML, Unicode, emoji, and RTL notes for visual validation.

v0.0.17 - 2026-04-30

Runtime copy + accessible rating polish

• Renamed the lowest compatibility tier from Rock to Stone in user-facing labels, demo reports, filters, and tests while preserving the internal rock key for existing report compatibility.
• Restyled Stone as a rusty cracked low-tier badge and gave Platinum a brighter premium mark so the rating ladder reads clearly at table density.
• Replaced mobile table CSS-generated labels with real DOM text and scoped table headers so compact report cards remain accessible to assistive technology.
• Clarified runtime terminology across the page description, report intro, runtime autocomplete empty states, public report body, and README copy.
• Expanded footer rating stats from p/g/s/b/st to plat/gold/silver/bronze/stone for clearer scan value.
• Raised compact mobile nav, filter, and report actions to more reliable touch target heights without loosening desktop density.

v0.0.16 - 2026-04-29

Automatic ROCKNIX nightly catalog updates

• Added a KV-backed scheduled ROCKNIX nightly catalog updater so /data/rocknix.json can refresh without redeploying Pages.
• Production deploys now publish the scheduled rocknix-steamdb-catalog-updater Worker after the Pages site.
• The updater polls ROCKNIX nightly releases every four hours and falls back to the public GitHub releases page if the GitHub API is blocked.
• Preserved richer platform and asset metadata when fallback refreshes rediscover an existing nightly release.
• Tracked the production Wrangler configs so a clean checkout can run npm run cf:deploy reproducibly while secrets remain in Cloudflare.
• Added a left-rail ROCKNIX Wiki external link to the official ROCKNIX Steam guide.

v0.0.15 - 2026-04-29

Report table scan polish + faster filters

• Changed reported timestamps to display in each viewer's local time, with UTC preserved as the fallback and tooltip reference.
• Polished report table cells so ROCKNIX shows the nightly version first, Steam arch stays compact, and runtime shows arch over version.
• Made rating badges bolder and more delightful with compact semantic color, rating-specific glyph motion, and reduced paint cost.
• Optimized report page rendering by skipping unchanged table, pagination, and footer DOM work during loading and filter updates.
• Reduced redundant filter reloads and hydrated the Steam search session cache once per page session.

v0.0.14 - 2026-04-28

UI hardening + faster paint

• Tightened the mobile report modal helper, hint, and validation text so compact fields align consistently.
• Improved runtime version and arch validation styling so errors land on the combined control without shifting the combobox.
• Locked page scrolling while the report modal is open and made report table boot safer when containers are not mounted yet.
• Added loading semantics to the reports table with aria-busy while data refreshes.
• Removed the CSS font import waterfall, added direct font preconnect links, and deferred offscreen changelog and mobile report card rendering.
• Added KONKR Pocket FIT to the AYANEO device catalog so contributors can submit reports for the new handheld.

v0.0.13 - 2026-04-28

Mobile report cards + dense typography

• Converted narrow report rows into compact mobile cards with inline field labels, and carried the stronger ROCKNIX-red label treatment into desktop table headers.
• Moved submitter details into one line beneath notes on mobile so the right side stays reserved for rating badges.
• Renamed the desktop report column from Proton to Runtime, flattened the table frame into the main workspace, and tightened filters so the data grid matches the app shell.
• Added shared type tokens across the app, report modal, changelog, filters, and table for steadier dense text.
• Created a mirrored CHANGELOG.md and recorded the project inception timestamp in the initial release notes.

v0.0.12 - 2026-04-28

Report modal clarity + validation polish

• Clarified the report modal copy, placeholders, edit-mode text, validation summary, and success messages.
• Removed default Steam arch and runtime arch selections so contributors must pick the tested architecture explicitly.
• Shortened architecture validation messages and kept runtime arch errors from shifting the runtime version combobox.
• Aligned the ROCKNIX device combobox height with the Steam game and App ID controls.

v0.0.11 - 2026-04-28

Runtime filter polish + latest ROCKNIX nightly

• Connected runtime version and runtime architecture controls in the report modal so the two inputs read as one tested runtime.
• Matched the report table filter to the same connected runtime version plus arch pattern, with compact Arch labeling.
• Expanded the runtime filter autocomplete dropdown to the full connected control width instead of only the text input column.
• Refreshed data/rocknix.json with the nightly-20260428 ROCKNIX release.

v0.0.10 - 2026-04-28

Steam Native runtime catalog

• Added a Steam Native variant to data/proton.json for Steam Linux Runtime 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0.
• Marked Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 and 4.0 as both x86 and ARM, while 1.0 and 2.0 remain x86 only.
• Stored Steam app IDs and per-architecture Steam names for native runtime entries, with updater support for refreshing names from Steam when an API key is available.

v0.0.9 - 2026-04-28

Proton architecture catalog tuning

• Updated Proton catalog architecture metadata so GE-Proton 10-30 and newer are marked for both x86 and ARM reports.
• Kept GE-Proton 10-29 and older as x86 only, avoiding false ARM matches from older release-note wording.
• Changed Steam Proton catalog compaction so the latest major line keeps every beta release for testers.
• Refreshed data/proton.json from GitHub, including Steam Proton 11.0-beta2 while keeping 11.0-beta1 selectable.

v0.0.8 - 2026-04-28

Paginated report browsing

• Added report-table pagination with 25 rows per page, compact previous and next controls, and visible result ranges.
• Updated the reports API to request only the active page and return pagination metadata instead of shipping every report on each load.
• Made filters reload page one from the API, so large production report sets stay responsive while searching and narrowing results.
• Expanded local demo fixtures to 64 compatibility reports and wired the live dev server to serve paginated fixture data for testing.

v0.0.7 - 2026-04-28

Runtime catalogs, report timing + faster search

• Added a reported time column after the submitter column in the compatibility table.
• Edits now refresh the reported time, so updated reports sort like newly reported compatibility data.
• Added the D1 reported_at column and migration for existing rows.
• Added data/rocknix.json and npm run update:rocknix to pull ROCKNIX nightly release versions from GitHub.
• Added a ROCKNIX version field to reports, D1 storage, the report modal runtime section, and the compatibility table.
• Added a ROCKNIX nightly filter after the device filter so reports can be narrowed by tested OS build.
• Remembered safe repeat report fields in local browser storage after submission: device, ROCKNIX version, runtime arches, Proton version, and author.
• Faster first render: reports and devices now paint before large runtime catalogs load, production catalog JSON is compacted during build, and unused Proton release asset metadata was dropped from the frontend payload.
• Expanded data/proton.json and npm run update:proton to pull every Steam Proton and GE-Proton GitHub release by default.
• Updater refreshes are incremental: new releases are merged in without dropping older catalog entries needed by games that work best on legacy Proton builds.
• Fixed Proton autocomplete so numeric version searches like proton 8 rank Proton 8 builds instead of matching every x86 entry.
• Compacted Steam Proton choices to the newest patch for each base version, with Steam Proton Hotfix and Steam Proton Experimental pinned at the top.
• Added clearer Proton combobox hints so contributors know both Steam Proton and GE-Proton builds are searchable.
• Changed device picking in filters and the report modal to grouped comboboxes for consistency with Proton autocomplete.
• Optimized Steam title lookup with debounced typing, tab-session result reuse, Worker memory dedupe, Cloudflare edge cache hints, and cached upstream Steam suggestion fetches.
