Version 1.0.0 - 2025-07-03

Official Stable Release

We are pleased to announce the official release of Hariku 1.0.0, marking the transition from Release Candidate to a fully stable build.

This version contains no new features beyond those introduced in RC.1, and instead focuses on:

• Final production-level validations
• Internal startup and environment consistency refinements
• Confirmation of stability across varied setups

Other Notes

• License and disclaimer terms have been updated to reflect production use. Please review them in the About section or on the Hariku website.
• All previously introduced RC.1 enhancements—such as SmartLookup, Send Notification to Phone, and the Startup Instance Check—remain fully intact and stable.
• Hariku now officially enters its stable lifecycle, ready for daily use.

No breaking changes were introduced. If you were using RC.1, this upgrade is seamless.

Version 1.0.0-RC.1 - 2025-06-30

We are proud to release Hariku 1.0.0-RC.1, our first Release Candidate after a long series of Beta iterations.
This version focuses on stability, reliability, and final polishing, bringing Hariku closer to its official 1.0.0 milestone.

About This RC

While Release Candidates are generally feature-frozen, we’ve made three small, safe, and self-contained additions to improve the experience based on user feedback and internal testing.
These actions are stable and designed to be plug-and-play, requiring no additional setup or breaking changes.

Added

• New Action: SmartLookup
  Instantly performs smart, context-aware lookups using your clipboard or a custom variable.
  Useful for looking up terms, definitions, or IP addresses from within a routine. (Contributed by Saidinas)

• New Action: Send Notification to Phone
  Allows you to push a message directly to your phone using the free and self-hosted ntfy service.
  Great for remote alerts, reminders, or “if something happens on my PC, let me know” routines.

• New Startup Check Module
  Prevents multiple instances of Hariku from running at the same time.
  If another instance is already running, a warning dialog will appear and the app will exit automatically.

• More moods to the mood list
  Small addition for Your Note mood selector, based on feedback. (Contributed by Claudya F)

UI & Performance

• Final pass of UI polish and accessibility tweaks in the Routine Editor.
• Improved startup performance for systems with more than 10 routines.

Fixed

• Routines no longer re-trigger too quickly when using clipboard monitor (rare bug).
• Old and outdated data cache system updated.
  Now Hariku should run properly with or without an internet connection, except for online features like quotes and push notifications.
• Volume control action now works properly on apps with special characters in their names.
• Delay-based routines no longer cause stuttering due to background thread congestion.

Other Notes

• Hariku now includes a lightweight update reminder system.

Feature Freeze Notice

From this point onward, no new features will be added until 1.0.0 Final.
The focus will be entirely on polish, optimization, and final bug-fixing.

If no critical issues are reported, this RC will be promoted directly to 1.0.0 stable release.
