Added localization support across nearly all of the UI, added the Tsimpo NPCs, improved update notifications, and enhanced the Augments and Uniques trackers.

Added an Augments Tracker showing learned and missing augments, including their current charges, stats, and crafting materials.

Added a Uniques Tracker showing learned and unlearned schematics, including current charges, stats, and crafting materials per grade where applicable.

Fixed an issue where the web workspace failed to initialize.

Replaced the workspace and map with web-based versions, resolved Access Denied errors caused by an expired EV certificate, and introduced a more meaningful advertising setup.

Added a Vehicle Inventory widget that shows your vehicle's inventory state (slots and volume), fixed a crash when resizing the map window, and potentially fixed NPC damage text disappearing.

Added a Deep Desert sector grid to the map, and Ultrawide support (Settings toggle) to place overlay widgets in the side margins of an ultrawide game window.

Changed the default Show App keybind from Alt+A to Alt+P to avoid conflicts during construction mode. If you were still on the old Alt+A default, it is moved to Alt+P automatically.

Adds an opt-in OBS window capture mode so the overlay can be captured under OBS Window Capture, a Toggle Overlay quick action with an Alt+O hotkey, and reworks where ads appear: the in-game overlay ad is gone, with ads now shown in the launcher and on the Dune map window.

The installer now installs the Bridge Host separately rather than managing its service itself, avoiding the service lifecycle issues that could leave the bridge host in a broken state during install, update, or uninstall.

Fixes installer issues where the bridge host service could rarely get stuck in a broken state, lets you move the ad window in overlay edit mode, and adds a one-time startup notice about running the game in Windowed Fullscreen or Windowed mode for overlay features.

A round of fixes and friendlier defaults: the Dune game locale now persists correctly, new app defaults (no auto-start, regular minimize, close-on-close, and Show App bound to Alt+A), a fix for a bridge host startup issue that affected some updates and sleep/hibernate recovery, and quieter logs.

Select your game locale in the Settings window to see item names and other game entities in your language (full app localization is still in progress), plus a reworked ad window that follows the game's mouse capture, and fixes for active debuff time remaining and the Landsraad board not updating.

A smoother experience with activating a membership and a new Manage Account link in the user menu.

Reworked status effects into a single stacking Debuffs group with new debuffs tracked, plus a Quick Actions widget, an Alt+M map hotkey, base favorites, a launcher sign-in gate, overlay stability fixes, performance improvements with ~50% less memory usage, and more freeze fixes.

Adds base power, water, and storage tracking, view your Landsraad and Base status on the web, plus more freeze and crash fixes and a smarter ad widget.

Fixes an issue where ad removal did not always apply correctly, plus other small bug fixes.

Fixes unintended crashes during overlay edit mode, plus other small bug fixes.
