Changelog

All notable changes to this site are documented here.

[Unreleased]

Add an initial project-specific URS for a planned Bioreactor DO Simulator under site/bioreactor-do-simulator/docs/, and wire it into the shared docs render pipeline for a matching HTML mirror.
Clarify the Gravity Toy page copy by adding a short on-page note that Osmos on iOS was the direct inspiration for the visual.
Add a missing bilingual site-development blog entry for the Battery Simulation Tool, linking the public tool, docs, and changelog from site/roosloot-site-development.html.
Add a public Gravity Toy Docs hub and render the visual's URS, FS, and DS markdown files into site/visuals-gravity/docs/ so the documentation is discoverable from the docs section.
Add a project-specific TEST_PLAN.md for Gravity Toy, include it in the visual docs hub, and render a public HTML mirror at site/visuals-gravity/docs/test-plan.html.
Complete the Gravity Toy verification/risk set with project-local RISK_ASSESSMENT.md, IQ.md, and OQ.md, add them to the visual docs hub, and render public HTML mirrors under site/visuals-gravity/docs/.
Execute the Gravity Toy IQ and OQ checks, replace placeholder Planned statuses with completed qualification records, and document the local browser/file verification basis.
Complete the public Swapbound doc set with game-specific Risk Assessment, Test Plan, IQ, and OQ source markdown files plus rendered HTML mirrors, and expand site/docs/swapbound.html to link the full verification/risk set.

[0.5.4] - 2026-04-12

Add Gravity Toy at site/visuals-gravity.html: a bilingual gravity visual with drag-to-launch interaction, hold-for-mass spawning, four presets (Solar System, Chaos, Binary, Sandbox), force-line overlays, merge flashes, launch bursts, and reduced-motion handling.
Add Gravity Toy to site/visuals.html and site/sitemap.xml so the new visual is discoverable through the site and indexable as a public URL.
Refine the Gravity Toy implementation by stabilizing pause behavior, improving touch drag handling, clarifying internal simulation structure, and adding barycenter markers on close-pair force lines.
Replace the generic Gravity Toy visuals-hub card placeholder with a gravity-specific preview treatment so the card better reflects the simulation before opening the page.
Add a new bilingual site-development blog entry on site/roosloot-site-development.html about Gravity Toy, citing Osmos as inspiration and linking to the new visual plus the original game site.
Bump the site version from 0.5.3 to 0.5.4 in package.json/package-lock.json and update visible footer version labels across the site.

[0.5.3] - 2026-03-08

Start a new project-local documentation set under site/battery-simulation-tool/docs/ for a planned static-site battery simulation tool, including project brief, URS, FS, DS, file structure, page spec, simulation spec, risk assessment, and test plan with rendered HTML mirrors.
Build the first browser-based Battery Simulation Tool prototype under site/battery-simulation-tool/, with local CSV parsing, manual column mapping, one-scenario battery simulation, KPI cards, Plotly charts, and summary export actions.
Extend the battery tool parser for HomeWizard-style cumulative meter exports by automatically combining tariff-split import/export columns into one total connection-level interval series before simulation.
Add a bundled HomeWizard sample CSV under site/battery-simulation-tool/data/ and preload it for the prototype, while moving the run action higher in the settings card for faster testing.
Change the default prototype battery profile to 2.7 kWh storage with 0.8 kW charge and discharge power.
Add a new battery flow time-series chart, make the SOC chart full width, and synchronize zoom/pan ranges across the time-based charts.
Fix the synchronized time-range propagation between the battery tool time-series charts by rebinding Plotly sync after render completion and forwarding explicit x-axis range keys.
Add inline ? tooltips for battery settings and a synchronized cumulative battery charge/discharge chart.
Add acquisition cost input, indicative payback calculation, and a 0 to 30 kWh capacity-versus-savings chart to the battery tool prototype.
Auto-run the bundled sample analysis on page load and rerun the battery tool automatically when relevant inputs or mappings change.
Keep the battery tool run button available for explicit reruns, while switching the default prototype experience to live analysis updates after valid field changes.
Add a 15-minute battery-SOC bar chart with a fixed 0 to 100% y-axis and include it in the synchronized time-series chart range behavior.
Make graph units more explicit in the battery tool by adding unit-bearing chart headings and hover values for kWh, %, and EUR.
Clarify the battery tool setting help so users with multiple separate batteries can approximate them by summing capacity, charge power, and discharge power in the current single-battery model.
Change the battery tool default minimum SOC and start SOC to 8%.
Rewrite the battery tool introduction in Dutch and English around the 2027 home-battery motivation, HomeWizard P1-based analysis workflow, disable automatic sample-file loading, and move the capacity-versus-savings chart directly below the KPI summary.
Publish the Battery Simulation Tool as a public project: add it to site/projects.html with a dedicated preview image, add a docs-hub entry plus sitemap references, and remove the temporary noindex protection from the tool and its project docs.

[0.5.2] - 2026-03-08

Fix Swapbound checkpoint respawn reliability: if a checkpoint is placed slightly inside solid geometry, the game now adjusts spawn to the nearest safe non-overlapping position to prevent inside-hitbox respawns and fall-through behavior.
Add a concept-phase documentation set for a new Voxel Cutaway World Generator project under site/voxel-cutaway-world/docs/, covering the project brief, URS, FS, DS, risk assessment, and test plan for a future standalone 3D procedural world page.
Extend the Voxel Cutaway World Generator concept docs with implementation-planning artifacts for future work: proposed file structure, page/UI specification, and procedural generation rules.
Add the first public prototype for site/voxel-cutaway-world/: standalone page shell, bilingual copy, project-local CSS/JS modules, deterministic seed-based voxel generation, a live WebGL 3D cutaway world view, day/night theme toggle, and touch-friendly orbit/zoom controls.
Restyle site/voxel-cutaway-world/ so it aligns more closely with the shared site visuals and Swapbound: add a back-to-Visuals CTA, expand breadcrumbs, simplify the hero viewer shell, and regroup the right-column controls/notes into the same card language used elsewhere on the site.
Add Voxel Cutaway World to the site/visuals.html hub and rewrite the page introduction to explain the Minecraft-inspired seed concept plus how one seed can be further steered with parameters such as water and lava.
Capture a dedicated preview screenshot for Voxel Cutaway World and use it as the project image on site/visuals.html instead of the temporary placeholder treatment.
Update the public docs navigation so Swapbound is listed as normal game documentation instead of draft documentation, and remove the separate archive card/reference from the docs hub and sitemap.
Simplify site/voxel-cutaway-world/ by removing the prototype note below the viewer and dropping the separate notes/documentation side card, leaving the page focused on the intro, viewer, and world-parameter controls.
Add a dedicated public Visual docs entry to the docs hub and sitemap, and publish a small docs index page at site/voxel-cutaway-world/docs/index.html as the first visual-specific documentation entry for Voxel Cutaway World.
Normalize breadcrumbs on the ASCII visual detail pages so they sit under Home / Visuals / ..., matching the voxel visual page instead of incorrectly pointing to Projects.
Restructure the public docs hub to use one entry page per project: Swapbound Docs now lives on site/docs/swapbound.html, and the docs hub links only to project-level documentation pages instead of repeating individual spec links directly under the game/visual cards.
Bring the documentation baseline back in sync: remove stale Draft labels from the Swapbound specs, promote the Voxel Cutaway World docs from concept draft to active prototype status, and update the core site V-model docs for the current visuals/docs information architecture before re-rendering the public HTML mirrors.
Rework the homepage curation split: keep Swapbound in the featured projects row as a project, remove the generic Visuals card from that row, and add a separate featured visuals section highlighting Voxel Cutaway, ASCII Cloud, ASCII Tide, and ASCII Sky Glider.
Capture and publish a dedicated Swapbound preview image from the live game page, replacing placeholder artwork on the homepage and projects hub cards.
Normalize breadcrumb routing across the site: Swapbound now sits under the projects hub instead of jumping straight from Home, the editor gets a full project breadcrumb trail, and project/blog detail pages no longer hardcode the wrong hub labels.
Remove the public placeholder site/template.html from the deployable boundary by moving the reusable page starter to templates/site-template.html, and update the current site specs to reference the non-public template path instead.
Fix remaining legacy internal navigation links by pointing the HTML sitemap and project/visual pager links directly at canonical top-level detail pages instead of site/projects/* redirect stubs.
Finish the review cleanup on detail pages by localizing the remaining breadcrumb and pager labels so the default Dutch experience no longer shows stray English Projects/Prev/Next fragments.
Publish a new March 8, 2026 site-development blog entry covering the Voxel Cutaway World launch plus the accompanying visual polish, docs cleanup, preview-image updates, homepage curation changes, and breadcrumb fixes.

[0.5.1] - 2026-03-01

Bump site version from 0.5.0 to 0.5.1 in package.json/package-lock.json and update site-wide footer version labels to v0.5.1.
Publish a Swapbound progress blog update (NL/EN) on site/roosloot-site-development.html, with direct links to the live game/editor and the dedicated Swapbound changelog at site/docs/game-changelog.html.
Keep changelog scope separation explicit: site-level release notes in CHANGELOG.md; game/editor release notes in GAME_CHANGELOG.md.

[0.5.0] - 2026-02-25

Rework and rename the ASCII Star Runner concept into ASCII Sky Glider on site/visuals-ascii-star-runner.html: a demoscene-inspired side-view parallax mountain scene with stationary blue sky/clouds, layered mountains (including snowy far peaks), ASCII foreground hills, and a UFO craft that stays horizontally fixed while following terrain height vertically; further refine it with optional ASCII mountain textures (default on), stabilized ravines/grooves with independent length/width controls, improved foreground ASCII terrain motion/texture shaping, and an animated ASCII ring on the UFO.
Fix generated project-card placeholders by switching to the shared site/assets/images/projects/visuals-placeholder-base.svg render path so featured cards match the Visuals Shop wave style consistently on desktop and mobile, with only subtle seed-based position variance.

[0.4.0] - 2026-02-10

Add experimental featured-card placeholders on site/index.html: two initial-based thumbnails (AWT, PH) and two seed-based thumbnails (visuals, all-projects) to evaluate scalable card variation.
Refine index featured-card placeholder experiment by combining both approaches: reduce initial size, keep seed-driven background variation on all four thumbnails, and remove visible seed: labels from the UI.
Fine-tune index featured placeholder artwork by feathering and dimming flare circles plus reducing initial letter size/opacity for a less distracting card header balance.
Normalize featured placeholder initials to a 2-letter convention by changing Audacity from AWT to AW.
Extend the 2-letter initials placeholder convention to the Visuals Shop placeholder (SH) for consistency across all placeholder card images.
Roll out a reusable CSS-based 2-letter seeded placeholder header (.project-image-placeholder) to project cards without images across site/index.html, site/projects.html, site/work.html, site/puzzle-tools.html, and site/template.html.
Replace straight-line CSS placeholders with curved SVG wave lines (plus seed-based offsets/tilt) so generated placeholder cards visually align with the existing featured wave style.
Unify placeholder rendering to one shared Visuals-style base asset (site/assets/images/projects/visuals-placeholder-base.svg) used by all generated card placeholders, with only seeded transforms and 2-letter initials varying per card.
Migrate site/index.html featured cards from bespoke placeholder SVG files to the same shared .project-image-placeholder template so all placeholder cards use one rendering path.
Make site/index.html project cards fully clickable (mouse + keyboard) via card-level navigation behavior while preserving existing bottom link actions.
Roll out shared site/card-click.js to all pages with project-card entries (index, projects, work, visuals, lego, audacity-whisper-transcriber, puzzle-tools, template) so card-wide click behavior is consistent site-wide.
Tweak visual spacing on site/styles.css: reduce sticky header height by roughly one-third (header + language toggle padding) and tighten the index-page gap between #about and #projects.
Further tighten sticky header container height in site/styles.css by reducing header/toggle paddings again so the bar itself (not text size) reads visibly slimmer.
Add explicit sticky header height caps in site/styles.css (56px desktop, 52px mobile) to make the top bar consistently slimmer without shrinking nav typography.
Add preview images to the ASCII Cloud and ASCII Tide cards on site/visuals.html using standardized 480x360 assets from site/assets/images/projects/.
Standardize project-card status taxonomy in site/projects.html by consolidating mixed R&D/Exploratie labels into one canonical Exploration/Exploratie status key.
Add a lightweight SVG placeholder thumbnail to the Visuals Shop card on site/visuals.html so all cards share a consistent image layout without runtime animation cost.
Add docs:pdf export pipeline and regenerate documentation PDFs under site/docs/pdf/.
Add site/robots.txt and site/sitemap.xml for search engine crawling and indexing.
Add canonical tags across public pages, add canonical placeholder to site/template.html, and require canonical/meta SEO defaults in AGENTS.md.
Add NL/EN hreflang tags (nl, en, x-default) to public pages and support URL language overrides via ?lang=.
Add Open Graph locale alternates (og:locale:alternate = en_US) on public pages for better multilingual social sharing.
Improve docs:render so markdown is rendered as HTML (including GFM tables) instead of plain <pre> output.
Fix docs rendering semantics by avoiding duplicate top-level page headings (<h1>), preventing heading conflicts in smoke tests and improving document structure.
Point internal project links on site/index.html, site/projects.html, and site/visuals.html directly to canonical root detail pages (instead of /projects/* redirect stubs) to remove unnecessary redirect hops.
Improve mobile reliability of project card header placeholders by replacing external SVG-dependent header backgrounds with CSS-native layered gradients in site/styles.css.
Harden mobile placeholder visibility by rendering the placeholder wave background on .project-image-placeholder itself (not only pseudo-elements), improving reliability on browsers that under-render pseudo layers.

[0.3.0] - 2026-02-06

Add site/favicon.ico to eliminate default favicon 404 requests in performance scans.
Roll out a 7-link static global navigation (Home, Projects, Work, Visuals, Blog, Docs, Contact) across site and docs pages.
Add static breadcrumbs for project/blog/docs detail pages.
Add static previous/next navigation blocks for project/blog detail pages.

Publish CHANGELOG.md to site/docs/changelog.html and link it from Docs hub and Sitemap.
Update docs rendering so generated pages show a dynamic "Last synced" date at render time.

[0.2.1] - 2026-02-04

Fix mojibake in patent/introduction wording on site/work.html (single-use, variable-volume, spier-precursorcellen).
Fix legacy photo-page back navigation and labels on site/moon-photography.html and site/macro-photography.html by routing to projects.html and renaming CTA copy to Terug naar projecten / Back to projects.

[0.2.0] - 2026-02-04

Consolidate today’s UI/content/layout refinements and ASCII tooling updates into release baseline v0.2.0.
Bump project version to 0.2.0 in package.json/package-lock.json and update footer version text across site/ and site/docs/.
Restyle the sticky top bar in site/styles.css with translucent gradient layers and a subtle accent edge so it matches the page atmosphere better than a flat dark bar.
Further tone down homepage hero typography in site/styles.css (smaller eyebrow, H1, and lead text) to reduce visual shouting and improve readability.
Reduce the homepage hero H1 size and tighten line-height in site/styles.css for a more professional visual balance.
Make the top-left Rens Roosloot brand clickable on site/index.html so it always routes to index.html.

Improve Eleventy rootPrefix filter so root-level .html pages resolve asset/link paths correctly.
Revert to using site/ as the primary website; keep site01/ as experimental only.
Add Eleventy templating setup (site01-src -> site01) with shared layout/data so nav/header/footer updates happen in one place.
Add templated route pages for home, projects, work, blog, and a sample projects/fermentation page.
Migrate Visuals hub page to site01-src template (/projects/visuals/) and keep interactive ASCII child pages working in site01.
Fix template output links/styles to use relative paths so pages render correctly when opened via local file:// paths.
Standardize site01 headers by removing top-right primary/back buttons from all pages; keep only language toggle in header actions.
Standardize site01 navigation across all pages to the same 4-link order: About, Projects, Work, Contact.
