PocketMC v1.4.0

Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.4.0

v1.4.0 - Bedrock & PocketMine Protocol Expansion

This milestone transforms PocketMC into a multi-protocol powerhouse, adding first-class support for native Bedrock Edition (BDS) and PocketMine-MP engines alongside Java!

🟢 Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS) Support

• Full Version Discovery: Integrated the kittizz community manifest, enabling one-click installation for 45+ versions of Bedrock (including stable and preview releases).
• Bedrock Add-on Management: Native support for .mcpack and .mcaddon files. Importing an addon automatically handles file extraction and updates world_behavior_packs.json / world_resource_packs.json for you.
• Fixed Provisioning Failures: Rebuilt the BDS download pipeline to use system temp directories, resolving "Access Denied" errors during instance creation.
• UWP Loopback Automation: Added a hardware-level "Fix Bedrock LAN" tool in settings that automates CheckNetIsolation.exe loopback exemptions, allowing you to connect to local servers from Minecraft for Windows.

🔵 PocketMine-MP Support

• PHP Runtime Orchestrator: PocketMC now automatically provisions and manages sandboxed PHP 8.x runtimes for PocketMine instances.
• Poggit Marketplace: Integrated Poggit browsing for PocketMine plugins. The "Plugin Marketplace" button now intelligently switches sources based on your server engine.
• Auto-Generator Patching: Implemented a world-generator sanity check that automatically patches server.properties (e.g., minecraft:normal → DEFAULT) to prevent common "Unknown generator" startup crashes.

✨ Dashboard & UI Polish

• Engine-Aware Settings: The Addons tab now dynamically filters content. Java-only sections (like Modrinth/Forge) are hidden when managing Bedrock or PocketMine instances.
• IP Duplicate Suppression: The dashboard card now intelligently hides the secondary "Bedrock IP" row for native Bedrock servers to reduce clutter.
• Config Core Keys: Expanded the core property list to include Bedrock-specific networking keys (server-portv6, allow-cheats, etc.) for easier configuration.

PocketMC v1.3.0

Full Changelog: v1.2.5...v1.3.0

v1.3.0 - Architectural Hardening & Observability

This release focuses entirely on massive under-the-hood structural improvements designed to make PocketMC safer, significantly more resilient to failures, and vastly easier to debug.

🛡️ Security & Integrity Engine

• Artifact Verification: Implemented deep SHA1/SHA256 signature verification directly into the DownloaderService. Any Playit daemon or Paper/Vanilla jar you pull from external networks is now heavily hashed to detect silent corruption or man-in-the-middle tammpering.
• Graceful Lifecycle System: Hardened the exit behaviors! Instead of blindly closing and triggering unrecorded player kicks, exiting the app now yields a custom 15-second IApplicationLifecycleService.GracefulShutdownAsync() loop that saves worlds and closes network tunnels correctly before quitting.
• PII Scrubbing: Heavily extended the LogSanitizer. PocketMC will now procedurally scrub personal metadata (like IPv4 strings and emails) from console captures using advanced RegEx pipelines before your crash logs ever touch an AI summary model.
• RCON Client Engine: StandardInput has been officially deprecated for interacting with Java child processes. PocketMC has fully migrated to a robust managed RconClient handling try/catch and direct socket control to eliminate standard I/O synchronization deadlocks on high server loads.

🔭 Diagnostic & Recovery Engine

• External Dependency Orchestrator: Added a dynamic background thread loop (DependencyHealthMonitor) that constantly polls external microservices. Your settings page now features a live dashboard monitoring native latency status against Adoptium, Playit.gg, and Modrinth. You'll instantly know if a server failure is on your end or theirs.
• Disaster Recovery (Off-site Replications): Significantly expanded the local automated snapshot tool. You can now configure an external sync directory (e.g., Google Drive/Dropbox sync folder) inside your Settings menu. Upon completing a local ZIP backup, PocketMC will autonomously replicate that payload identically to your secondary disk.
• "One-Click" Support Bundles: Implemented an asynchronous DiagnosticReportingService. With a single click inside Settings, PocketMC packages your system specs, Java variables, global app logs, masked properties, and native crash-reports into one dense support ZIP on your desktop—completely wiping all clear-text passwords (like rcon.password) out of the bundle before it drops!
• UI Modernization Refactors: Abstracted away huge layers of tech-debt by decoupling the ResourceMonitorService and abstracting logic into IAssetProvider, eliminating major background memory leaks.

🔧 Internal Refactors

• Rebuilt architecture directory hierarchies shifting away from clustered Providers into a clean modular format (Features/Instances).
• Added graceful fallbacks to the new Update Engine banner checking systems.
• Handled UI context cleanup for settings panels and fixed missing null validation reference warnings.

PocketMC v1.2.5

feat: Velopack update service integration, graceful shutdown flow, and UI polish.

PocketMC v1.2.4

• Migrated installation and update packaging from Inno Setup to Velopack.
• Added Velopack startup bootstrapping before WPF application startup.
• Added automatic update checks in the shell layer.
• Updated GitHub Actions to publish win-x64 output, pack Velopack releases, and upload release assets.
• Removed installer.iss and updated the build/install documentation.
• Added Discord/community support in the app and README.
• Added release and packaging guidance for Velopack.
• Updated the release workflow notes to use a repository secret named RELEASE_PAT.
