# Changelog

All notable changes to Planar are documented here.

## 1.1.0
- Mid band frequency range extended from 100–2000 Hz to 50–5000 Hz (user request), so
  the target bell can reach the presence region (e.g. 2.5–3 kHz) and deeper lows.
  Saved sessions and presets recall the identical frequency; if you had *automation*
  drawn on Mid Freq, that lane will need re-drawing (the knob's travel now covers a
  wider range).
- Spectrum display: the level bars and hover read-out now combine left/right in the
  energy domain — the same measure the threshold test uses: so a bar crossing the
  threshold/knee lines now lines up with correction actually engaging on stereo
  material.
- Fixed the Knee having no steadystate effect: bands inside the knee got a partial
  gate on a unity (do nothing) correction, so correction only ever engaged at the
  full threshold. Bands in the knee now receive the quadratic partial correction
  the knee always described (and the manual documented). Sessions with Knee at 0
  are unaffected; sessions using a knee will now hear it working.

## 1.0.3
- Added a frequency axis to the per-band spectrum display, with frequency/dB
  gridlines and a hover read-out showing the frequency, input/output level, and the
  in-to-out delta (color-coded boost/cut/unchanged) under the cursor.
- Added hover readout: hovering any knob, toggle, or dropdown now shows its name and
  current value in the LCD, without needing to move it.
- The perband spectrum display now colors a band's output bar amber while transient bypass
  is actively ducking its correction, so you can see it happening in real time.
- Fixed garbled text ("Licen...") in the settings menu's license item and the license
  activation status, caused by a UTF-8 encoding bug: affected Windows and Mac alike.
- Fixed the macOS installer's plugin-format checkboxes (VST3/AU/CLAP/AAX) using invalid
  attributes that could leave them unselected by default.

## 1.0.2
- Added mono support (mono in / mono out); previously Planar would only load on stereo tracks.
- Added a Brighten toggle beside Tilt: flips the tilt target from darkening to brightening.
- Fixed a crash that could occur with certain material.

## 1.0.1
- Added update available badge
- made UI choices persistent
- increased font on UI

## 1.0.0
- Initial release.
- Intelligent per-band spectral balancing toward a pink-noise target, with
  adjustable tilt and target-shape EQ (HPF/LPF window, low/high shelf, mid bell).
- Linear-phase and minimum-phase modes (Phase toggle).
- Transient bypass with frequency-aware detection, lookahead, and a wideband
  detector that preserves low-mid transients (e.g. dark snares) in both modes.
- Threshold / knee / clamp dynamics, coefficient behaviour (attack / release /
  recover), stereo link, target trim, and mix.
- VST3, CLAP (Windows + macOS) and AU (macOS).
