Unreleased

0.11.0 — 2026-05-02

The biggest release since 0.10.0. Headline threads: a runtime card-theme system, an HUD restructure that reclaims the play surface, and a round of UX feel polish surfaced by smoke testing.

Added

• Runtime card-theme system (CARD_PLAN phases 1–7).
  • Bundled default theme ships in the binary via embedded:// — 52 hayeah/playing-cards-assets SVGs (MIT) plus a midnight-purple back.svg as original work.
  • User themes live under themes:// rooted at user_theme_dir(). Drop a directory containing theme.ron + 53 SVGs and the registry picks it up on next launch.
  • Importer at solitaire_engine::theme::import_theme(zip) validates archives (20 MB cap, zip-slip rejection, manifest validation, every SVG round-tripped through the rasteriser) and atomically unpacks.
  • Picker UI in Settings → Cosmetic; selection persists as selected_theme_id and propagates to live sprites.
• Reserved HUD top band (64 px) so cards no longer crowd the score readout or action buttons; layout's top_y shifts down accordingly.
• Action-bar auto-fade — buttons fade out when the cursor leaves the band, fade back in when it returns. Lerp at ~167 ms.
• Visible drop-target overlay during drag — a soft fill plus 3 px outline drawn ABOVE stacked cards for every legal target (full fanned column for tableaux, card-sized for foundations and empty tableaux). Replaces the previously invisible pile-marker tint.
• Card drop shadows — every card casts a neutral 25 % black shadow with a 4 px halo; cards in the active drag set switch to a lifted shadow (40 % alpha, larger offset, bigger halo).
• Stock remaining-count badge — small ·N chip at the top-right of the stock pile so the player can see how close they are to a recycle. Hides when the stock empties.

Changed

• Foundations are unlocked. PileType::Foundation(Suit) → Foundation(u8) (slot 0..3). The claimed suit is derived from the bottom card via Pile::claimed_suit() — no separate field, no claim-stuck-after-undo bugs. Any Ace lands in any empty slot, and the slot then claims that suit. next_auto_complete_move prefers a claim-matched slot before falling back to the first empty slot for Aces. Empty foundation markers render as plain placeholders (no "C/D/H/S").
• HUD selection label and hint toast read claimed_suit() and fall through to "Foundation N" / "move to foundation" only when the slot is empty.

Fixed

• shared_fontdb now bundles FiraMono. The hayeah SVGs reference Bitstream Vera Sans and Arial by name. On minimal Linux installs / fresh Wayland sessions / chroots where neither is installed AND the CSS-generic aliases don't resolve, card rank/suit text vanished. The bundled font is loaded into fontdb and pinned as every CSS generic's target so the resolver always lands on something real. Surfaced when a second-machine pull rendered cards without glyphs.
• Theme asset path resolution — AssetPath::resolve (concatenates) → resolve_embed (RFC 1808 sibling resolution). Was producing paths like …/theme.ron/hearts_4.svg and failing to load every face SVG.
• Sync exit log spam — push_on_exit silently no-ops on LocalOnlyProvider's UnsupportedPlatform instead of warn-spamming every shutdown.
• usvg font-substitution warn spam — custom FontResolver.select_font appends Family::SansSerif and Family::Serif to every query so unmatched named families silently fall through.

Migration

• In-progress saves invalidated. GameState.schema_version bumped 1 → 2; pre-v2 game_state.json files silently fall through to "fresh game on launch." Stats, progress, achievements, and settings live in separate files and are unaffected.

Stats

• 982 passing tests (was 819 at v0.10.0).
• Zero clippy warnings under --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings.

0.10.0 — 2026-04-29

PNG art pipeline plus a major dependency pass. The first release where the binary shipped with bundled artwork.

Added

• 52 individual card face PNGs generated via solitaire_assetgen.
• Custom font (FiraMono-Medium) loaded via AssetServer at startup through the new FontPlugin.
• Card backs and backgrounds upgraded to 120×168 with richer patterns.
• Ambient audio loop wired through the kira mixer.
• Arch Linux PKGBUILDs for the game client and sync server (under the separate solitaire-quest-pkgbuild directory).
• Workspace README, CI workflow, migration guide.

Changed

• Bevy 0.15 → 0.18 workspace migration.
• kira 0.9 → 0.12 audio backend migration.
• Edition 2024, MSRV pinned to Rust 1.95.
• rand 0.9 upgrade.
• Card rendering moved from Text2d overlay to PNG-backed Sprite with face/back atlases; Text2d retained as a headless fallback when CardImageSet is absent (tests under MinimalPlugins).
• Asset pipeline switched from include_bytes!() for PNGs/TTFs to runtime AssetServer::load() so artwork can be swapped without a recompile. Audio remains embedded.
• Removed Google Play Games Services sync backend — redundant with the self-hosted server.

Fixed

• Server JWT secret loaded at startup (was lazy, surfaced as intermittent 500s).
• Daily-challenge race in the server's seed-generation path.
• Rate limiter switched to SmartIpKeyExtractor so the limit applies per real client IP rather than per upstream proxy.
• Touch input uses MessageReader<TouchInput> (Bevy 0.18 rename).
• Sync push/pull races in async task scheduling.
• Hot-path allocations reduced in card-rendering systems.
• Conflict report coverage added for sync merge edge cases.

Stats

• 819 passing tests at tag time.

0.9.0 — 2026-04-28

Initial public-tagged release. Established the workspace structure (solitaire_core / _sync / _data / _engine / _server / _app / _assetgen), the modal scaffold via ui_modal, the design-token system in ui_theme, and the four-tier HUD layout. Foundations were suit-locked at this point; cards rendered as Text2d rank/suit overlays with no PNG artwork yet.

Added

• Klondike core (Draw One / Draw Three modes).
• Progression system (XP, levels, 18 achievements, daily challenge, weekly goals, special modes at level 5).
• Self-hosted sync server (Axum + SQLite + JWT auth).
• All 12 overlay screens migrated to the ui_modal scaffold with real Primary/Secondary/Tertiary buttons.
• Animation upgrades: SmoothSnap slide curves, scoped settle bounce, deal jitter, win-cascade rotation.
• Splash screen, focus rings (Phases 1–3), tooltips infrastructure + HUD/Settings/popover applications, achievement integration tests, destructive-confirm verb unification, leaderboard error/idle states, first-launch empty-state polish, hit-target accessibility fix, CREDITS.md, persistent window geometry, mode-launcher Home repurpose, client-side sync round-trip integration tests.
