Changelog

Full, always-current release notes live on GitHub Releases — that's the canonical changelog. Highlights per release:

v0.3.1 (2026-07-03)​

  • Windows in-app self-update now installs silently and relaunches correctly
  • File types are resolved from a single registry when reading from the database, fixing newer asset types being mapped to Unknown
  • CI hardening: installer smoke tests, GPU-render E2E moved to a real-GPU lane, resilient docs-video generation

v0.3.0 (2026-07-02)​

  • STL and 3MF model support
  • Tags for every asset type with per-asset-type vocabularies, plus tag filtering for texture sets
  • three.js r185 with a local-first preview environment (no CDN dependency) and an opt-in performance overlay
  • One shared render pipeline across the viewer, thumbnail worker, and demo, so all three render consistently

v0.2.1 (2026-06-20)​

  • Updates are now opt-in — Modelibr tells you when a new version is available; you choose when to download and install it

v0.2.0 (2026-06-20)​

  • Global Search (Ctrl/⌘ + K) across every asset type with result highlighting
  • Scripts as a new asset type — code editor, starter templates, live in-page shader/scene preview
  • Richer asset metadata: geometry, animation, and bone data extracted from models and wired into list filters

v0.1.0 (2026-06-12)​

  • First release with native installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux — a tray host app bundling the full stack, plus an optional thin desktop client
  • Automatic update checks, LAN access opt-in, data that survives upgrades and uninstalls

Pre-release development notes​

History of features completed before the first installable release.

2026-04-10​

Environment Maps Parity​

  • Promoted environment maps to a first-class asset type across the app
  • Added model-style environment map list controls with search, filters, card sizing, upload, and refresh
  • Added cube upload support with explicit px, nx, py, ny, pz, and nz face mapping
  • Added generated-thumbnail parity, custom thumbnail support, and preview-variant selection
  • Added a dedicated Three.js environment map viewer page
  • Added pack/project membership, recycled-files coverage, WebDAV exposure, and demo-mode support for environment maps

2026-04-08​

README and Getting Started Refresh​

  • Reworked the README to focus on product capabilities and navigation instead of stack summaries
  • Added the live demo link, more direct documentation links, and clearer feedback and bug-reporting guidance
  • Changed the default frontend port from 3000 to 3010 in local config and startup docs
  • Fixed getting-started docs to use the correct HTTPS localhost URL and the asset-processor service name

2026-02-03​

WebDAV Hierarchical Restructuring​

  • Models: organized by version subdirectories (/Models/{ModelName}/v{N}/)
  • TextureSets: separated into TextureTypes/ and Files/ subdirectories
  • Added read-only DbContext query pattern for optimized WebDAV data loading

2026-02-02​

Texture Channel Mapping Fixes​

  • Fixed frontend bug where changing channel mapping created duplicate textures instead of updating
  • Updated database constraint to enforce strict uniqueness for per-channel texture mapping (one type per channel per file)
  • Added migration to clean up existing duplicate texture mappings
  • Fixed Albedo persistence when switching to Split Channels in frontend
  • Resolves bug where files disappeared from UI when unmapped (implemented TextureType.SplitChannel placeholder)
  • Fixed bug where channel mapping was incorrectly inferred from other channels
  • Hidden internal "SplitChannel" type from UI lists and WebDAV folders
  • Deduplicated file listings in WebDAV
  • Implemented on-the-fly channel extraction for WebDAV (opening single channel file now serves extracted channel properly)

2026-01-07​

Blender Addon: Selective Upload & Channel Packing​

  • Implemented selective texture upload - only uploads modified textures, references unchanged by file ID
  • Added classify_textures_for_export() for modification detection with per-file hash comparison
  • Added _create_texture_set_selective() for mixed source texture sets
  • Added channel packing dialog with "Pack into ORM" option in upload UI
  • Created pack_textures_to_orm() to combine AO/Roughness/Metallic

Blender Addon: Test Infrastructure​

  • Created test_texture_flow.py with 6 integration tests for shader analysis
  • Updated CI to install Blender via snap + Xvfb for headless testing

Texture Type Improvements (Phase 3)​

  • Blender Addon: Import with channel mapping support for ORM packed textures
  • Added extract_channel_from_image() function to extract R/G/B/A channels
  • Integrated sourceChannel data from API into texture import workflow

2026-01-05​

Texture Type Improvements (Phases 0-2 Complete)​

  • Removed deprecated Diffuse and Specular texture types
  • Added Height/Displacement/Bump mutual exclusivity validation
  • Implemented channel mapping UI (Files tab with per-channel dropdowns)
  • Added Texture Types tab with source selection per type
  • Created merge dialog enhancement for per-file channel mapping
  • All E2E tests passing for new texture workflow

Promotional Website​

  • Created landing page with hero, audience cards, features, and how-it-works sections
  • Added Discord and GitHub links to navbar/footer

2026-01-03​

E2E Test Expansion​

  • Phase 1: Packs & Projects CRUD and filtering
  • Phase 2: Sprites CRUD (upload, update, search, categories)
  • Phase 3: Sprite Associations (add/remove sprites to packs and projects)
  • Phase 4: Model Management (version deletion, thumbnail regeneration/upload)

Model List Filter Redesign​

  • Replaced single dropdown with multiselect filters for Packs and Projects
  • Filters moved to dedicated filter section in ModelGrid.tsx

2026-01-02​

Frontend Unit Tests​

  • Created comprehensive unit tests for uploadProgressStore (100% coverage of store actions)
  • Created unit tests for textureTypeUtils
  • Fixed all failing frontend tests (22 suites, 224 tests passing)

Texture Reuse​

  • Blender addon texture reuse by Modelibr ID prefix

User Documentation​

  • Created Docusaurus docs site with UI, models, texture sets, packs, and projects documentation
