Changelog · Arknights Client

All notable changes to this project are documented here.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and the project uses Semantic Versioning.

0.7.0 - 2026-10-14#

Added#

Added a Branding option in Settings and in setup. Turn it off to hide the server logo and its backdrop.
Added a Rendering setting: Retina (default), MetalFX, or Standard.
Added window sizes (Fill screen, Compact) and a fullscreen Resolution list; exact sizes stay available.
Added an AI assistance note to the About page and the documentation.
Added the missing third-party licenses and a script that generates the notices, checks them, and merges the runtime's license index.

Changed#

Global, Japan, and Korea downloads now accept only yo-star.com hosts, including redirects.
Updates from the three previous releases download only what changed.
Repair and first-time file checks verify several files at once and finish faster.
Downloads resume partial files first and start large files early, so the end of a download no longer waits on one large file.
Installing a second server reuses identical files from an installed one instead of downloading them again.
Wine environments share Wine's libraries with the launcher instead of copying them, saving about 560 MB per publisher on APFS drives.
The bundled runtime is 64-bit only and no longer includes GStreamer or FFmpeg, roughly halving the app's size. Existing Wine environments drop their unused 32-bit libraries.
Updated the pinned Wine and DXMT runtime to Arknights macOS Runtime 0.7.0-rc2, which carries its own license texts and notices.
Settings adapts to small windows and shows the running operation, such as a download, at the bottom of the sidebar.
Game Mode is greyed out with an explanation when Xcode is not installed.
China and China (Bilibili) no longer need Canary Features; Taiwan remains a Canary server.
Renamed China — Bilibili to China (Bilibili).
Windowed games use a Window size measured like macOS display resolutions; fullscreen uses a separate Resolution.
The launcher now sizes the game by default.
Everyone updating to 0.7.0 runs setup once more; returning players keep their window mode and rendering.
Fullscreen is now the recommended window mode in setup.
Rebuilt setup around six plain steps whose answers apply right away.
The macOS cursor (formerly Canary Hardware Cursor) is now a regular Cursor setting.
Regrouped Settings into Game and Appearance, with Game Mode, Wine synchronization, and the Metal HUD under Game → Advanced.
Rewrote Settings and setup wording around the real option names: Server, Display mode, Rendering, Cursor, and Resolution. Technical details moved to tooltips.
The app bundles one compact, compressed license file instead of many loose files, and the website publishes the full texts.
Gallery tiles, search pills, sidebar items, and document links now animate when pressed.
New wallpapers become searchable by operator or event without a launcher update.
A failed storage migration at startup no longer locks the launcher. The launcher keeps the folders that moved, shows a Retry action, and continues startup after a successful retry.
The installer and full updates are about a third smaller.
Rewrote the help pages and guides in Simplified Technical English: shorter and easier to follow.
Launcher animations pause behind Settings and dialogs, while the game runs, and in Low Power Mode.
Play shows a still glow with one pulse when it becomes ready, instead of a continuous breathing glow.

Removed#

Removed the Canary frame latency option; the game always uses the standard setting.
Removed the test-server fallback wallpapers.

Fixed#

Game helper windows, such as the China (Bilibili) sign-in, no longer leave a stray "wine" Dock entry.
Fixed wrong game window sizes and fullscreen resolutions on Retina displays.
Fixed the Dock icon shrinking into a grey frame shortly after launch on multi-display Macs.
An announcement arriving during setup no longer hides setup (#94).
Locally built launchers no longer treat the same published version as a blocking update.
Setup steps slide in as intended, and each new step starts scrolled to the top.

0.6.1 - 2026-10-02#

Added#

Added an off-by-default Canary Hardware Cursor option that hides the game's PRTS cursor so the macOS hardware cursor can appear.

Changed#

Repair verification progress appears in the HUD, Settings, setup, and developer preview; Pause stops file verification immediately.
Updated the pinned Wine and DXMT runtime to Arknights macOS Runtime 0.6.1.
Clarified that macOS 28 remains blocked by current launcher policy and that Legacy Game Test Mode guidance applies only to macOS betas.
Canary runtime overrides now follow the packaged runtime's declared capabilities, with conservative defaults and saved preferences retained for legacy or unsupported runtimes.
The Game Mode label no longer says Experimental.
Extended the Canary Frame Latency range to 0–3 and kept the default at 3. Value 0 waits for the current GPU frame and may significantly reduce FPS or smoothness.
One Canary permission check now governs region selection, installation, storage listings, playtime statistics, and setup; playtime region lists show only installed regions.
Refined launcher and HUD motion with softer accents and outline pulses during launch, shutdown, updates, and file operations, while respecting Reduce Motion and Dynamic Type.
Imported launcher and game icons keep their aspect ratio instead of being stretched to a square.
Sped up documentation search and moved preset thumbnail decoding off the main actor so large artwork no longer blocks the interface.
Launcher errors now show recovery steps, with technical details kept in logs; the developer preview uses the same dialogs, actions, and launch availability, replacing inline Rosetta controls.
Launcher log entries are written in call order without suspending launcher work, and installation task ownership follows the active installation state.
Clarified first-launch steps for ad-hoc signed, non-notarized releases, including Apple's app-specific Gatekeeper confirmation.
Release packaging now rejects Sparkle appcasts and update archives that fail cryptographic verification against the tracked update key.
The developer preview reuses one cleared preference store and data folder instead of leaving new ones behind on every run.
Streamlined GitHub workflows, gave automated issues a shared label and layout, and let Sparkle signature checks accept OpenSSL 3 or newer.

Fixed#

Large manifests now use bounded file handles; concurrent installs are serialized, resumed ranges and staged files are validated before promotion, and game files are replaced atomically.
Paused and partial installations can be moved to Trash from Uninstall Game while idle.
Download size labels stay aligned when the displayed percentage changes.
Hardened networking: Yostar notices no longer load remote images, scripts, or stylesheets, and manifest and game-file requests require credential-free HTTPS. Taiwan requests remain restricted to verified CDN hosts.
Fixed Bilibili payment pages getting stuck while loading by correcting Wine's handling of nested CEF windows, and added DirectWrite CJK font fallbacks for macOS systems using another language.
Fixed Stop during Wine preparation and startup; it stays retryable and keeps prefix ownership until processes retire and wineserver -w confirms shutdown.
Fixed Wine setup helpers and the game starting after app termination had taken ownership of shutdown.
Fixed all launch options resetting when a single saved value is no longer supported; the remaining options are kept.
Fixed China — Bilibili startup with Hardware Cursor enabled and hid the CN-specific PRTS cursor asset.
Fixed China and China — Bilibili reset countdowns to follow China Standard Time (UTC+8), and refreshed countdowns for every installed client each minute while the region list is open.
Fixed quitting: it now closes open notices, failure details, and Settings, and no longer blocks macOS logout, restart, or shutdown.
Kept preset launcher, game, and source icons together when a later icon file commit fails.
Fixed music controls staying disabled after the game interrupts playback, and kept custom music URLs and playlist IDs out of logs.
Fixed Now Playing artwork not following launcher icon changes after the window was resized.
Fixed older announcements reappearing once more than 100 announcements had been dismissed.
Fixed announcements counting as seen before they were shown and still appearing after announcements were turned off in Settings.
Fixed playtime statistics being overwritten when the saved file cannot be read, for example after a downgrade; the unreadable file is now kept as playtime.json.unreadable.
Restored focus when dismissing mobile navigation with Escape and made enlarged Mermaid diagrams accessible modal dialogs.
Fixed live contract summaries and monitor alerts rejecting Taiwan metadata checks.

0.6.0 - 2026-09-24#

Added#

Taiwan (Traditional Chinese) PC client support through Gryphline as a Canary region.
Added runtime-loaded CN and China — Bilibili wordmarks with cached startup restoration and high-contrast rendering on dark surfaces.
Separate Canary permissions for exposing the Taiwan and China clients, plus a per-client ACE Anti-Cheat warning before their first launch through Wine.

Changed#

Hardened filesystem cleanup, recovery ownership, and cancellable background work against stale or invalid state.
Improved checksum verification performance during repair.
Reduced repeated work when preparing Wine prefixes, searching the Artwork gallery, and calculating storage sizes.
Moved Rosetta 2 preflight failures from the home status area into the standard failure modal with Install Rosetta, Retry, troubleshooting, and report actions.
Split runtime compatibility controls into independent ACE Compact, shared CEF, and Bilibili CN flags.
Updated the pinned Wine and DXMT runtime to Arknights macOS Runtime 0.6.0.
Removed the regressing experimental Wine/DXMT runtime performance toggle; the independent DXMT frame-latency control remains available behind Canary Features.
Improved handling of nested China — Bilibili browser dialogs; payment-flow verification remains pending.
Refined launcher controls, Settings, documents, and dialogs with consistent spacing, shared surfaces, dynamic theming, and progress-aware HUD treatment.
Improved launcher state feedback and update presentation while pausing decorative motion when the window is inactive.
Named runtime logs after Arknights and their publisher.
Rewrote the installation, troubleshooting, storage, and macOS compatibility guides.
Redesigned the website to match the launcher.
Improved developer preview controls and centralized builds against the active macOS SDK.

Removed#

The launcher now ships in English only; removed German localization and language preferences.

Fixed#

A download on a fast connection can no longer outpace a slow disk and grow in memory without limit.
Fixed the China — Bilibili notice helper lingering as a separate Dock entry after its game window closes (#80).
Removed a leak and a per-frame window-server query from the helpers injected into the game and its notice window.
Preserved China and China — Bilibili access and region selection when upgrading with Canary Features enabled, while respecting explicitly disabled China access.
Prevented the floating Settings footer from covering content.
Increased Liquid Glass surface contrast on macOS 27 while preserving accent-colored text on buttons, selects, and inputs (#78).
Keep native Settings and onboarding toggles on the current macOS geometry by linking app builds against the active SDK while retaining the macOS 15 deployment target.
Allowed Sparkle to finish installing launcher updates by honoring its quit request once active game and file operations have ended, even while the update dialog is open.
Selected the Xcode macOS SDK explicitly when compiling the x86_64 PlatformProcess window bridge, avoiding macOS 27 Command Line Tools linker errors.
Fixed macOS 27 SwiftPM resource packaging and test execution so bundled assets remain available and Swift tests run normally.

0.5.2 - 2026-09-14#

Added#

An opt-in Canary toggle for experimental Wine/DXMT runtime performance changes at the next game launch.
Wallpaper counts to the Artwork gallery's category filter, plus an Operators submenu listing every operator featured in official wallpapers, sorted by how many they appear in (Thanks to @darkwebdev, #73).
The artist and curated tags to a wallpaper's hover tooltip in the Artwork gallery (Thanks to @darkwebdev, #73).

Changed#

Updated runtime build inputs to newer WineCX and DXMT revisions and the dappermint 4.6.8 base archive.
Made the Notices companion modal while open, centering it once over the game and restoring the game's prior input state when it closes.
Reorganized onboarding around a concise System Check, moved Canary controls into their relevant settings, added loading skeletons, and added confirmation before skipping setup.
Replaced the Storage overview's "Calculating…" text and the gallery's loading spinner with a stable-sized neutral skeleton.
Matched the Artwork gallery search field to the type filter's capsule surface and focus treatment.
Limited Artwork gallery search suggestions to tag/word completions, no longer suggesting whole wallpaper titles as chips.
Made running games follow macOS audio-output changes by default and removed the Canary toggle.
Reused recent Storage Settings measurements, skipped redundant Dynamic Theme accent/icon work, and debounced background-music URL reloads while editing.

Fixed#

Fixed a DXMT device-initialization bug in the local runtime candidate that could crash game startup or leave internal compute pipelines missing.
Prevented the Notices helper from briefly showing a separate Dock icon when opening.
Fixed China — Bilibili sign-in so its login and captcha windows render, accept input, and stay accessible above the game.
Fixed Canary client install sizes displaying as raw megabyte values and segmented controls expanding to the full settings-row height or using uneven pills when a label wraps.
Made closing the launcher with the red traffic-light button terminate the app instead of leaving it suspended.
Fixed the launcher taking close to a second to show its cached wallpaper and logo on every launch, caused by an unnecessary app icon re-persist and a slow first-time font lookup blocking the main thread.
Fixed the Dynamic Theme launcher icon rendering the wrong hue (e.g. blue instead of green) from incorrect color-space math in the icon tinting.
Fixed embedded troubleshooting links to publisher support so they no longer point to the stale /help/README/ route (#75).

0.5.1 - 2026-09-06#

Added#

Added Hypergryph support actions for China and China — Bilibili account, payment, and game-service issues.
Added fuzzy full-text search across project documentation with direct links to matching pages and sections.

Changed#

Clarified publisher-region ownership, publisher-neutral payment routing, and client-specific embedded login-window guidance.

Made the expanded daily reset pill fit its regional content and removed its inconsistent row-hover backgrounds.
Reduced wallpaper thumbnail memory and download usage with bounded decoding and the live Fankit CDN resize request (Thanks to @darkwebdev, #67).
Prevented Artwork gallery crashes in packaged builds by loading wallpaper tags from app resources (Thanks to @darkwebdev, #70).
Restored removable tag filters in Artwork gallery search (Thanks to @darkwebdev, #71).
Made Escape dismiss the launcher update prompt consistently with its Later action (Thanks to @darkwebdev, #69).

0.5.0 - 2026-09-03#

Added#

Smoothed game-download speed and remaining-time estimates that account for resumed files, retries, stalls, and checksum recovery (#48).
The China and China — Bilibili clients behind Canary Features, with separate installations and the same native install, update, repair, storage, playtime, and launch flow as other regions.
Region-specific official Global, Japan, and Korea wordmarks with isolated runtime caches, startup restoration, localized text fallbacks, and simplified presentation (#37).
An opt-in Canary Features gate in Settings for containing unfinished functionality without changing the default launcher experience.

Storage overview in Settings with independent installed-region rows, right-aligned usage values, shared runtime data, recreatable caches, diagnostic logs, and targeted cleanup actions (#43).
Sparkle launcher updates with signed appcast and ZIP release artifacts, while retaining ad-hoc macOS signing (#53).
A static project website built from the repository documentation, with safe Markdown rendering, base-path-aware navigation, canonical and social metadata, and GitHub Pages release deployment (#56).
Network-isolated Swift unit and integration levels, a fixture-backed onboarding-to-install workflow, uv-locked pytest coverage for repository scripts (#42).
Weekly live-contract monitoring for every supported Yostar region (#39).
A SwiftPM-compatible String Catalog workflow that validates shipping translations and generated localization resources without requiring an Xcode project (#38).

Changed#

Made runtime archive downloads size-bounded and safely resumable only while their strong ETag still matches.
Allowed larger official manifests within the bounded installation state, and kept shared game-service and fallback errors provider-neutral and in the selected app language.

Split release statistics into manual DMG and Sparkle update downloads, with combined per-release totals and rates.
Refactored the root launcher model into feature controllers with explicit, narrow dependencies and shared game-domain and configuration contracts (#52).
Indented subprocess output under its owning repository-script status line.
Hardened GitHub Actions with per-job timeouts and permissions, stale-run cancellation, dependency caching, workflow linting, and provenance attestations for release artifacts.
Centralized product, package, localization, and release metadata in Info.plist and the evaluated SwiftPM manifest, and promoted runtime.json to schema v2.
Consolidated repository scripts into one locked uv project, isolated packaging-only tools in their own dependency group, and removed single-use helpers and low-value wrapper tests.

Fixed#

Kept the shared Wine prefix owned until prefix-wide shutdown, preserved the originating region and failure across retries, and made stop, cancellation, and early process-exit cleanup deterministic.

0.3.0 - 2026-08-17#

Added#

Support for the Japan and Korea Arknights PC clients alongside Global, each installed, updated, and launched independently. Switch regions from Settings → Installation, or from the region switcher in the main window once more than one region is installed.
A "Report a Problem" button in Settings and on launch failures that opens a pre-filled GitHub bug report with your launcher version, macOS and chip details, and a recent log excerpt.
Separate unity.log and chromium.log files for the game and its embedded browser, kept apart from wine.log and reachable from the same Logs button in Settings.
New troubleshooting instructions for development to locate logs faster.

Changed#

Centralized scattered timeouts, buffer sizes, and retry counts into a single constants file.

Fixed#

Slowed touchpad scrolling in-game to match Windows mouse-wheel speed (Thanks to u/herr-tibalt).
Integrated the separate Notices helper with macOS windowing so it remains interactive, stays out of the Dock, and follows the game across window moves and Spaces (Thanks to u/No_Entrepreneur_6542).
Mapped Command to Control in Wine so standard macOS copy and paste shortcuts work in the in-game browser, and fixed a separate copy-paste sync timeout under Wine.
Fixed a Chromium sandbox crash in the embedded browser by stubbing the full set of Windows AppContainer APIs it requires, instead of only the one used for OAuth popups (Thanks to @darkwebdev).
Fixed launcher background artwork and branding decoding failing when regional APIs (such as Japan or Korea) return empty URLs for privacy policies or user agreements.
