v1.1.3

[1.1.3] — 2026-05-19

Changed

• Stable Playground links now install the WordPress.org ODD 1.1.3 package with
  WP Desktop Mode 0.8.6 and fresh cache-busting keys.
• The Sticky Note widget now uses Desktop Mode's native widget frame more
  cleanly, with larger default sizing and tighter resize behavior.
• ODD's docs and release notes now distinguish the 0.8.5 runtime floor from
  the 0.8.6 Playground-pinned host.

Fixed

• Hide-admin-bar now works against Desktop Mode 0.8.6's stronger admin-bar
  shell CSS and removes the leftover top shell offset.
• The dev Playground seeds the hidden admin-bar preference on first boot, so
  testing starts in the intended full desktop shell.
• Shop install progress no longer emits an unregistered wpd-progress-bar
  custom element warning in Desktop Mode diagnostics.
• ODD's service-worker guard stays out of Desktop Mode's way while preserving
  Playground's root worker, reducing repeated worker-registration console
  warnings during scoped Playground sessions.

v1.1.2

[1.1.2] — 2026-05-18

Fixed

• First installs now apply the ODD starter Desktop Mode experience without
  requiring a browser refresh. ODD registers its wallpaper and Shop through a
  small live bootstrap handle that can load the full ODD runtime during
  Desktop Mode's mid-session refresh.
• The live bootstrap applies the starter wallpaper, large dock, and ODD
  launcher visibility through Desktop Mode's native settings API when the
  current desktop is still on the default wallpaper.
• The ODD Shop native window now advertises its stylesheet to Desktop Mode's
  lazy loader, so mid-session activation gets styled Shop chrome immediately.

v1.1.1

[1.1.1] — 2026-05-17

Changed

• Refreshed the bundled catalog snapshot and first-party catalog metadata so
  fallback/offline installs match the current Shop content more closely.
• Updated the stable Playground/readme links for the next pinned WordPress.org
  release package.

Fixed

• Catalog refreshes now invalidate the runtime catalog cache immediately, so
  the Shop stops showing old rows after a successful remote refresh or repair.
• The Shop highlight timer is guarded during teardown, fixing the lingering
  async handle that was making CI report Vitest cleanup failures.
• First-party app/widget catalog polish from the post-1.1.0 catalog updates is
  included in the release baseline, including Tiny Aquarium sizing and refreshed
  game app card/icon presentation.

v1.1.0

[1.1.0] — 2026-05-16

Added

• ODD feels much more like part of the desktop now. Apps, widgets, taskbar
  entries, desktop shortcuts, wallpaper controls, and decoration reset actions
  are wired through Desktop Mode's native window, file, and surface APIs. The
  practical win: installing or changing something in the Shop shows up where
  people expect it, without a reload scavenger hunt.
• A real tiny game joins the catalog. Don't Read the Comments is a
  Minesweeper-style desktop app with first-click-safe boards, flags, chording,
  timers, local scores, responsive difficulties, and silly fictional
  comment-bomb reveals. It is a proper puzzle game first and the joke rides on
  top.
• Living cursor effect packs. Cursor themes can now be lightweight effect
  recipes instead of a pile of cursor image files, which makes pointer themes
  smaller, safer, and livelier.
• A companion-plugin SDK facade. window.__odd.sdk gives extension authors
  a cleaner way to read storage, save preferences, inspect capabilities, show
  toasts, collect diagnostics, and register teardown handlers. The lower-level
  window.__odd.api remains available and now reports API version 2.4.0.

Changed

• The Shop is easier to scan. Catalog cards now share a consistent footprint
  across departments, with cleaner install/open/apply states, tighter controls,
  and new generated card art sized for the new grid.
• Default desktop icons got a glow-up. ODD now ships a focused raster icon
  set for desktop shortcuts, including the custom recycle-bin treatment, while
  leaving Desktop Mode's native rails and taskbar behavior intact.
• App catalog presentation is sharper. First-party apps have matching card
  art, app icons, native-window metadata, and catalog bundles so they look and
  open like real desktop software instead of loose web toys.
• The catalog health view is more useful. The Shop now explains signed
  catalog status, cached snapshots, fallback behavior, and recovery actions in
  one place so site owners can see why the store is safe instead of guessing.

Fixed

• Desktop app shortcuts appear immediately after install. ODD now refreshes
  Desktop Mode's root file placements after app installs or surface changes, so
  newly installed app icons can appear on the desktop right away.
• Taskbar and desktop placement settings are more reliable. App surface
  toggles, the ODD taskbar setting, and the wallpaper shortcut setting now save
  through the native Desktop Mode contracts and refresh the visible desktop
  state cleanly.
• The Shop opens in a saner place. Saved native-window geometry is nudged
  back near the top of the desktop when needed, avoiding the awkward "where did
  the store go?" moment after resizing or moving windows.
• Playground and catalog installs are sturdier. App loading, widget CSS
  delivery, stale-catalog fallback, and catalog repair flows all got another
  round of hardening for scoped Playground URLs and temporary catalog outages.
• Desktop Mode integration got quieter. Several old hook aliases and noisy
  shell issue toasts were removed or softened now that ODD relies on the current
  Desktop Mode surface.

Security

• Signed catalog checks are now part of the product experience. Catalog
  rows are verified with trusted signing keys, SHA256 hashes, expected sizes,
  version compatibility, and same-base HTTPS URL checks before install.
• Bundle validation is stricter. ODD rejects path traversal, symlinks,
  executable files, suspicious compression ratios, malformed manifests,
  mismatched slugs/types/versions, and incompatible runtime requirements before
  content reaches the uploads directory.
• Icon and cursor assets are safer. Icon sets now use bounded raster assets,
  cursor effect packs avoid raw cursor images, and SVG previews are scrubbed for
  scripts, event handlers, external references, and control bytes.
• Diagnostics remain local-only. The expanded health and diagnostics
  surfaces still copy data only when the administrator asks; ODD does not add
  telemetry, analytics, license checks, or remote error reporting.

Compatibility

• Requires WordPress 6.8+, PHP 8.1+, and WP Desktop Mode 0.8.5+.
• window.__odd.api.version is 2.4.0. The 2.3 line added native helpers
  for cursor sets, widgets, apps, shuffle/audio preferences, and decoration
  reset; the 2.4 line adds the preferred window.__odd.sdk facade.
• Public Playground installs continue to follow the approved WordPress.org ODD
  release, while dev Playground links are isolated and cache-busted for testing
  the current main branch.

ODD 1.0.0

[1.0.0] — 2026-05-15

Added

• A complete desktop shop for WordPress. ODD gives WP Desktop Mode a
  catalog-driven shop for wallpapers, icon sets, cursor sets, widgets, and
  small apps. New content ships through the remote catalog, so the store can
  be refreshed without a plugin release.
• Unified store cards. Catalog cards behave like durable product cards:
  install, preview, apply, add, open, reload, repair, and diagnostics all flow
  from the same surface instead of separate one-off screens.
• Starter content out of the box. Fresh installs start with matching
  Oddling wallpaper, icons, and cursors so the desktop feels intentional
  immediately.

Fixed

• WordPress.org review readiness. The plugin uses the WordPress.org slug
  text domain, documents its external catalog service and generated React
  runtime source, stores installed content under uploads, avoids global PHP
  limit/user switching, and keeps development-only files out of the release
  zip.
• Playground app loading. Scoped app iframe, runtime import-map, rewritten
  React runtime, REST root, icon, and diagnostic URLs keep the active
  /scope:<id>/ prefix so app requests stay inside the running Playground
  instance.
• Custom cursors. Installed cursor-set CSS uses a public ODD REST asset
  endpoint, wins against Desktop Mode's global cursor reset, and preserves
  themed pointer cursors when hovering desktop icons, icon children, dock
  items, and window controls.
• Desktop rails and Shop layout. Left/right Desktop Mode rails no longer
  pan sideways, vertical icon access remains available, and the ODD Shop clamps
  horizontal overflow.
• Wallpaper lifecycle teardown. Wallpaper swaps, Desktop Mode wallpaper
  unmounts, page teardown, Shop hero previews, audio hooks, and Iris observers
  now release Pixi apps, tickers, timers, canvases, and listeners cleanly.

Changed

• Magic 8-Ball widget. The live widget skin has a polished abstract oracle
  texture, bundled widget assets, and updated widget packaging.
• Stable Playground. The public blueprint installs ODD 1.0.0 with WP
  Desktop Mode pinned to the official 0.8.5 release zip.
• Catalog baseline. First-party store downloads are normalized to version
  1.0.0 so WordPress.org, GitHub, and the in-app Shop share one clean public
  baseline.
• ODD Shop native window sizing. The Shop preserves Desktop Mode's
  remembered native-window size while still enforcing minimum dimensions.

Security

• Hardened bundle installs. Remote and uploaded .wp bundles are validated
  before extraction, checked against catalog identity and SHA256 data, and kept
  behind capability checks.
• Safer SVG and cursor assets. Icon and cursor bundles are limited to
  passive SVG assets with validation in both author tooling and install-time
  paths.
• Local-only diagnostics. Copy Diagnostics assembles support information
  locally and only copies it when the user asks. ODD does not send telemetry,
  analytics, or error reports.
• Remote catalog hardening. Catalog fetches reject non-HTTPS registries,
  oversized bodies, malformed rows, duplicate slugs, bad hashes, and
  bundle/icon/card URLs outside the configured catalog base by default.

Compatibility

• Requires WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+, and WP Desktop Mode 0.8.0+.
• Playground blueprints, redirects, smoke workflows, and docs pin WP Desktop
  Mode to the official 0.8.5 release zip.
• Desktop Mode 0.8.5 diagnostics/cursor coverage includes host widgets,
  desktop files, shared folders, presence, heartbeat, and arrange-menu
  surfaces.
