1.5.4 (2026-05-21)

Changed

• Reverted to official Grafana release workflow pattern to ensure full compatibility with modern provenance attestation requirements.

1.5.3 (2026-05-21)

Changed

• Updated development dependencies (Webpack, ESLint, Sass) to latest versions.
• Cleaned up repository by merging pending Dependabot PRs.

1.5.2 (2026-05-21)

Fixed

• Final fix for provenance attestation — explicitly using actions/attest-build-provenance@v4 to match successful splitflap-panel pattern.

1.5.1 (2026-05-21)

Fixed

• Fixed provenance attestation in GitHub Actions to comply with new Grafana signing requirements.

1.5.0 (2026-05-20)

Added

• Frozen example suggestions directly in the visualization picker: Grand Central Terminal, Classic Swiss, Vintage Gold, Minimal Baton, and Square Sharp
• Canonical default option snapshots for both the legacy clock baseline and the new Grand Central baseline
• Regression tests covering defaults, migration behavior, and example suggestion materialization
• Subdial analog scale controls for scale start angle and scale sweep angle

Changed

• New empty Alpine Clock panels now start with the Grand Central Terminal visual style
• Panel option registration now reads runtime defaults from a centralized defaults module instead of scattering the active baseline across editor literals

Fixed

• Existing sparse panels now migrate to the legacy default set before the new baseline is applied, preventing visual drift after changing defaults
• Example clocks are now fully materialized and no longer depend on whatever the current plugin defaults happen to be
• Plugin examples no longer risk changing appearance when future default values are adjusted

1.4.0 (2026-05-09)

Added

• Chapter ring option — decorative inner ring between dial and bezel for station clocks
• Grand Central Terminal dashboard (New York, cream dial, brass bezel, spade hands)
• Big Ben dashboard (London, Victorian Gothic, iron bezel, opal glass, sword hands)
• World Exchanges dashboard — 14 trading floor clocks across global timezones
• 108-clock categorized showcase across 9 themes (Retro, Modern, Cyberpunk, Fantasy, Rich, Metrics, Sport, Rails, Airplane)
• 5 thematic dashboards: Racing Chronograph, Diver's Bezel, Flieger Type A, Bauhaus, Grand Complication
• gmShowHand toggle for independent control of global metric hand visibility
• gmSmoothDuration slider (0.1–60s) controlling GM hand animation speed
• Smooth animation for subdial analog hands (exponential decay, 0.3s time constant)
• Descriptions for all 274 panel options in the Grafana config UI

Changed

• Global Metric category split into 4 subcategories: main, Indicator, Readout, Gauge
• Mechanical Movement moved after Virtual Sun (advanced visuals group)
• Category names: "Hour/Minute/Second indices" → "Hour/Minute/Second marks"
• Second hand counterweight position default changed from 65 to -23
• SVG radial gradient r increased from 70% to 85% (Chrome rendering fix)
• All dashboard JSONs cleaned of forced counterweight/bounce overrides (534 removed)

Fixed

• smoothSecondHand dead control removed (second hand is always smooth)
• Element collisions resolved on Full-Featured Metrics Clock and all themed dashboards
• GM hand animation — was ignoring gmSmooth, now uses exponential decay
• Subdial hands — were jumping, now animate smoothly
• Sun indicator disabled on Large Clock with Shadow dashboard

Removed

• Unused HandOptions interface from types

1.3.0 (2026-05-07)

Added
