0.8.0.2
- Downloads and future updates now use one original Crucible location. Existing 0.8.0.1 botbase installations can update normally to adopt it. Plugin installations still require manual installation into BotBases.

0.8.0.1
- Panda Crucible is now a standalone botbase. Select it in RebornBuddy or start from its settings; boards, travel, training, maintenance and farming run natively, with OrderBot used only for catalog quests.
- Install manually: close RebornBuddy, remove the old Crucible plugin, and extract this release into BotBases/PandaCrucible (or your configured botbase folder). Keep the Settings folder to preserve activation, preferences and score history. Automatic plugin conversion is no longer included.
- Added a Settings option to show or hide the Crucible sidebar button.
- Progression, High Score and Farming now have separate pages, with clearer progression checkpoints and running goals.
- Improved progression training, saved routes when changing boards, and farming on the highest cleared board. Unnecessary or unaffordable maintenance visits are skipped.
- Fixed settings-window startup rejection and improved recovery while board-selection data is still loading after quests.
- The debug logging checkbox now works on Chinese clients and no longer floods normal logs when disabled.
- This remains a beta. Encounter reliability and regional compatibility are still being refined.

0.7.0.5
- Added experimental Chinese-client support. Regional gameplay remains under customer testing.
- Fixed startup when changing to Beastmaster replaces the Crucible combat routine.
- Progression now trains owned Cu Sith, Chimera and Behemoth to the next board's synced level before advancing.
- Unsupported native layouts now stop preparation with an explanation instead of repeatedly failing.

0.7.0.1
- Fixed starting and resuming progression when RebornBuddy uses translated bot-mode names, including Chinese.
- Required Bonds Unbroken quest progression now completes before returning to the selected board or pet-leveling mode. Quest offers no longer cause repeated Lauda interactions.
- Improved recovery when permanent pet levels are unavailable; preparation stops cleanly if refreshing cannot recover them.
- Optional gear upgrades and gearset saves no longer stop farming when current equipment remains usable. Missing replacement gear skips that upgrade, and uncertain purchases are not repeated.
- Improved automatic departure from the results screen when Dalamud is enabled.
- Duty Mechanic is disabled when Crucible starts; retained encounter state now gives clear restart guidance.
- Feed, consumable, board-gear and Temporal Sand changes now apply during a run after any current purchase or item use finishes.
- This remains a beta. Regional-client gameplay and encounter reliability still need further validation.

0.7.0
- Runs now use the Panda Crucible bot mode to coordinate combat, mechanics and movement. Start from the usual settings window; existing preferences are preserved.
- Added five board tabs with selectable route maps and a Recommended route button. Alternate paths are available across all five boards with initial encounter support.
- Moved shared feed, consumable, board-gear and Temporal Sand options beside Start/Stop, with tooltips explaining the affected score bonuses.
- Improved dodging, return-to-combat movement, pet burst timing and target handling across supported encounters.
- Potions and other temporary items can affect you or your pet without changing the selected enemy.
- Improved shop, treasure, reward and active-board recovery handling, including random panels that become shops.
- This remains a beta. Voidmancer can still apply Wit's End; Third and Master boards and alternate routes need more tuning. Consistently clean or Legendary runs are not guaranteed.

0.6.0.1

0.6.0
- Added a Scoreboard with the last 50 results for each board, including score, rank, goal, difficulty, completion time and date.
- Added Standard and First Degree difficulty selection for Completion and High Score. First Degree requires Blazing Trails; Second Master's Board now also allows High Score attempts.
- Added optional inventory food use, preferring HQ meals and preserving an existing Well Fed buff.
- Added separate options to purchase missing permanent merchant unlocks after best gear and the core pets, and to spend eligible surplus remnants on tradeable Loosened Locks books.
- Added an optional Cu Sith / Ice Golem / Behemoth team for the Unbroken boards, with Soul Crush interrupts for Rallying Cheer and Dreadwash.
- Improved pet burst timing, Meteor reservations, Wisp-wave handling, movement recovery after dodges, and travel arrival checks at Lauda. Update DutyMechanic for the accompanying encounter changes.
- Detailed combat logging is now optional in Settings and defaults off.
- This remains a beta. Third Board avoidance and pet survival still need tuning; consistent Legendary clears are not established on every board.

0.5.0
- First public beta. Activate with a Panda Crucible product key from the Key page below Settings.
- Added a Home page with release notes, clearer board names and status, and a refreshed Panda Crucible icon. Starting a run now closes the settings window.
- Added Japanese, German, French and Simplified Chinese UI translations, using localized game names for boards, pets and encounters. The running status now shows the zone name instead of its number.
- Added the Second Master's Board route for Completion and optional pet leveling through level 25. Requires Cu Sith, Chimera, Behemoth and an up-to-date DutyMechanic; High Score is not available on this board.
- Improved pet survival, Meteor timing, target selection and recovery during Second Master's Board encounters.
- Shops now prioritize urgent healing, useful gear and consumables before compatible pet feed. Improved reward collection when inventory space is limited.
- Improved travel to Lauda to avoid unnecessary short takeoffs near the entrance.
- This is a beta: encounter reliability is still being refined. Chinese UI translations do not yet establish Chinese-client gameplay compatibility.

0.4.2
- Added automatic equipped-gear repairs before board entry, with a configurable condition threshold.
- Resume an active supported board with its current team across all run goals; restarting through RebornBuddy also restores Crucible combat.
- Improved temporary-item use, treasure selection and reward handling, including restoring supply use after a Temporal Sand retry.
- Improved pet replacement, burst timing and combat recovery after dodging; First Master's Completion and Pet leveling now use the fourth-move campsite.
- Pet leveling refreshes permanent levels through Lauda and leaves two team slots free.

0.4.1
- Added a dedicated Pet leveling tab showing current levels and letting you choose which pets and boards to use.
- Enabled pets advance through board EXP caps at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20. Keep farming is on by default; turn it off to stop at the last enabled board's cap.
- Team changes no longer open a context menu or page through the Bestiary for each pet, across all supported boards and run modes.
- Failed boards now collect any rewards and retry by default. Enable Stop after failure in Settings to stop instead.

0.4.0
- Panda Crucible can update automatically when RebornBuddy starts.
- Progression retrieves its quests using your Crucible activation; Panda Farmer is no longer required.
- Fixed board selection and reward collection on standard LlamaLibrary installations.
- Settings now display the installed plugin version correctly.
