    Spectre Pixelator v0.2.1

    This is a broad stability, compatibility, and interface release.

    Highlights

    • Added a WebAssembly browser build with native browser upload/download flows for images, models, palettes, masks, recipes, textures, atlases, GIFs, normal maps, and packed GLB exports.
    • Fixed the Pixel Grid toggle and made grid visibility clearer at useful zoom levels.
    • Verified textured OBJ and GLB imports from Blender 5.1.2 and added actionable import errors for unsupported mesh compression and incomplete external files.
    • Moved recipes, batch rules, user palettes, recent files, and recovery data to the platform user-data folder, with legacy migration.
    • Added in-app user-palette deletion and persistent imported palettes.
    • Corrected posterization, partial-edge pixelation, color-replace tolerance, alpha preservation, finishing-stage masks, and preview invalidation.
    • Hardened background processing, GIF effects, projects, recent files, theme loading, model framing, palette limits, atlases, and model/texture exports.
    • Refined the responsive workspace, empty states, status messages, tooltips, previews, tile view, histograms, and embedded font rendering.

    Compatibility notes

    • Existing .spectre projects remain supported.
    • For Blender, packed GLB with mesh compression disabled is the simplest option. External GLTF requires its .bin and texture files; OBJ requires its .mtl and textures.
    • The macOS build is universal for Apple Silicon and Intel and requires macOS 11 or later. It is not notarized; first launch may require Control-click → Open.
    • Linux requires x86-64, X11, OpenGL 3.3, and the usual system X11/OpenGL libraries.
    • The browser build supports image and model workflows directly. Desktop path-based project files, recent files, and live reimport are intentionally unavailable in the browser sandbox.

    Release validation

    • 83 named regression scenarios pass on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
    • AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer pass locally.
    • GCC path analysis and strict compiler warnings pass for application targets, with serialization-heavy units covered by sanitizer/export tests where analyzer memory was exhausted.
    • Fresh Blender 5.1.2 textured OBJ and GLB fixtures pass optimized importer smoke tests.
    • Windows PE x86-64, macOS universal x86_64/arm64, and Linux ELF x86-64 archives were integrity-checked and inspected after download from CI.
    • The browser build passes strict-CSP and production HTTPS Chromium tests for PNG and GLB import, processing, texture download, and packed GLB download.
