Changelog

// every version, what changed, when

Bitaxe Baller follows semver-ish versioning — bug fixes and small UX changes get a patch bump (1.6.0 → 1.6.1), feature additions a minor bump (1.6 → 1.7), breaking changes a major bump (which we don't expect for a while). Every release ships as a signed + notarized .dmg.

v1.6.1 — brand refresh

Released 2026-05-08 · GitHub release

• Real Bitaxe Baller brand assets: pickaxe app icon, JetBrains Mono Bold "BITAXE.BALLER" wordmark, BB-monogram favicon.
• App icon updated everywhere — Dock, Applications, dashboard header. The previous pulse-dot was a placeholder.
• No functional changes; everything from v1.6 still works the same way.

v1.6 — first public release

Released 2026-05-08 · GitHub release

Initial public Mac build. Signed + Apple-notarized.

What's in the box

• Native Mac app. Click the icon, a window opens — no browser tab on the host machine.
• Live polling every 5 seconds: hashrate, ASIC + VR temps, power, J/TH efficiency, hardware error rate, rolling averages over 1m / 5m / 15m / 1h.
• Health-at-a-glance card borders flag attention-needing devices: red for crit (overheat / errors), yellow for warn (climbing errors / unstable hash), accent-green for "good with headroom" tunable opportunities.
• Tuning recommendation engine. Rule-based, transparent — surfaces concrete suggestions like "drop 10mV", "try +25 MHz", "reset benchmark" with one-click apply.
• Tuning presets for the BM1370 (Gamma) chip: Stock, Mild OC, Balanced, Aggressive, Max.
• Manual tuning: frequency 400–700 MHz, core voltage 1000–1300 mV, server-side safety bounds.
• Auto-fan toggle + manual fan slider per device.
• Network scanner: parallel /24 probe finds every Bitaxe on your LAN in under 6 seconds. Already-added devices skipped automatically.
• Pool / stratum config: edit primary + fallback URL, port, worker, password, TLS, suggested difficulty from the app. "Restart device after apply" on by default so changes take effect immediately.
• mDNS publishing as bitaxe-baller.local — other devices on your LAN can hit the dashboard from a browser without typing IPs.
• CSV logging: one file per device per day in ~/Library/Application Support/Bitaxe Baller/logs/. Drop into Excel or pandas for tuning analysis.
• Light / dark theme toggle; preference persists per browser via localStorage.
• Inline tooltips on every metric, threshold, preset, and pool field.

What's coming next

• Windows installer — packaging is wired (GitHub Actions on tag push), waiting on a release window.
• Pro tier — bulk tuning across selected devices, auto-tune sweeps with HW-error guardrails, Discord/email alerts on offline or HW-error spikes, long-term history beyond 1h. Sign up on the home page to be notified.
• Multi-model support — presets + expected-hashrate coefficients for Supra (BM1368) and Ultra (BM1366), not just Gamma.
