+# Changelog
+
+## 2.1.0
+
+Fixes for the problems people reported in Microsoft Store reviews ("didn't
+work at all", "only volume works", "still doesn't work on the living room TV"),
+plus keyboard control and power-on.
+
+### Fixed
+- The app opened pointed at the developer's own TVs (hard-coded IP addresses),
+  so for everyone else no button did anything until they found and changed the
+  device menu. Those entries are gone; the app now searches your network on
+  launch and picks what it finds.
+- Buttons failed silently. Every command now checks the Roku's answer and says
+  what went wrong and how to fix it.
+- Roku OS 14.1+ "Limited" mode (the reason only volume worked) is detected, and
+  the app shows the exact setting to change.
+- The fallback network scan tried 762 addresses one at a time with a 3-second
+  timeout — up to ~38 minutes of spinner. It now probes your actual subnet in
+  parallel in a couple of seconds.
+- Discovery now asks on every network adapter, so VPNs and Hyper-V/WSL virtual
+  adapters no longer swallow the search.
+- A system or corporate proxy could intercept requests meant for the Roku; the
+  app now always connects directly.
+- The green "connected" dot was always green. Status is now a real check every
+  few seconds.
+- When the router gives a Roku a new IP, the app finds it again by serial number.
+- The close button and window dragging were blocked by missing permissions.
+- Rapid presses could arrive out of order; commands are now sent in sequence.
+- Typed text now encodes spaces, symbols and accented letters correctly.
+- Channel names with `&` showed as `&`.
+
+### Added
+- **Turn on from off**: `PowerOn`, then Wake-on-LAN with retries.
+- **Keyboard shortcuts** for every remote button, press-and-hold repeat.
+- **Live typing** straight into the TV's search box.
+- Real channel icons, a channel filter, "on now", and TV inputs by name.
+- Add a Roku by IP, scan the whole network, forget old devices.
+- Mini remote that stays on top.
+- Help: troubleshooting steps, shortcut list, copy diagnostics.
+- Report a problem / Suggest an idea — opens a pre-filled GitHub issue.
+- MoveWeight.com and source code links in the footer.
+- A one-time invitation to rate the app after ten minutes of use.
+- CI (Linux + Windows) and a workflow that builds installers for all three OSes,
+  packs the Microsoft Store MSIX, publishes GitHub releases and can submit to
+  the Store.
+
+### Removed
+- The volume slider. Rokus can't report their volume, so the slider only ever
+  guessed; press-and-hold − / + is accurate.
