# Changelog

All notable changes to HotPressor are documented here.

## 1.0.0

Initial release.

- Two plugins from one engine: **HotPressor FOH** and **HotPressor Monitor**,
  one license for both.
- No-threshold design: Input Trim drives the engine; Peak Control and Level
  Control set the squash; Max Squash caps the long-term reduction budget.
- Feedback Guard: adaptive notch bank with time-domain ring detection,
  click-free ramped notches, and a not-feedback falsification rule (a tone
  that survives a full-depth notch is released and banned until it goes away).
  Monitor deploys faster and deeper than FOH.
- Bleed Guard: model-keyed downward expander — opens fast, closes slow.
- Window Start / Window End (60–250 Hz, 5–20 kHz): all detection and all
  positive gain confined to the vocal window; makeup can never lift
  out-of-window noise floors.
- FOH-only: Grit (feedback-safe mid-band saturation), Collapse (bounded
  dip-and-bloom), stage Order toggle.
- Live-safety Lock (on by default) guarding Bypass, Null, Input Trim, Output.
- Per-band spectrum display with stage-attribution coloring, GR meter,
  hover read-out, adjustable Resolution (8–128 bands).
- Optional RTA reference mic input (analysis only — never required).
- Formats: VST3, CLAP, AU (macOS), AAX, Standalone (Windows/macOS);
  Linux ships VST3 + CLAP.
