Every update to Thermal Canary Pro, in plain language. Most recent first.
v0.6.7 2026-07-21
- Fixed the Pro settings panel occasionally rendering too narrow on smaller window sizes, causing text to overflow the panel's edge.
v0.6.6 2026-07-13
- Fixed the license key on the Pro License panel overflowing past the card edge - it now shows a shortened key (first/last few characters) instead of the full 64-character string.
v0.6.5 2026-07-06
- The Smart Alert Overlay now always shows a critical alert even if a warning for the same sensor already showed one recently, so a fast ramp from warm to critical is never silently missed.
- Added a one-time safety notice on first launch, clarifying that Thermal Canary is monitoring software, not a substitute for proper cooling.
v0.6.4 2026-07-04
- Added an update check: the app now tells you in Settings when a new version is available, with a manual "Check now" button, entirely opt-out, no usage data sent.
v0.6.3 2026-07-04
- Fixed the app sometimes starting on the wrong theme (e.g. Carbon instead of your chosen Arctic) after previewing themes in Settings - it now always launches on your saved default theme.
v0.6.1 2026-07-03
- Added the Hotspot Delta Analyzer: tracks GPU edge-vs-junction temperature over weeks and flags a widening gap as a sign of drying thermal paste (AMD GPUs).
- Crash Black Box no longer flags every unclean exit as a crash - it now requires a genuinely hot GPU/CPU or a GPU driver hang in the kernel log, so a force-quit or suspend/resume no longer gets logged as a false crash.
- Fixed unreadable Burn-in and Help tab buttons on some setups.
v0.5.0 2026-07-01
- Added GPU burn-in protection shaders for every theme (Canary, Arctic, Carbon, Abyss), with automatic theme matching and a CPU-rendered fallback for machines without GPU shader support.
- Reorganized Settings into clearer sections, with a proper "Reset to defaults" for themes.
- Per-DIMM RAM temperature bars now match your theme's color gradient, and DIMM detection now checks every memory bus on multi-bus motherboards.
v0.4.2 2026-06-30
- Fixed DDR5 RAM temperatures reading about 4x colder than actual.
- Rebuilt the Pro dashboard on a fully responsive 6-column grid - no more broken layouts at odd window widths or on ultrawide monitors.
v0.4.0 2026-06-29
- Added live per-DIMM RAM temperatures for DDR5 systems.
- Added a clickable PRO badge and a VRAM usage gauge to the dashboard.
- Fixed gauge spacing and RAM label alignment issues, plus a multi-monitor layout race condition.
v0.3.0 2026-06-27
- Machine swap now force-rebinds your license automatically - no more manual deactivate/reactivate or support ticket when you reinstall or change hardware.
- Added a "Launch on system startup" toggle so Thermal Canary can start automatically with your desktop.
- The FPS strip moved into an always-on status bar showing the clock, GPU/CPU power draw, and live FPS.
v0.2.0 2026-06-26
- Switched FPS capture to a more reliable method, fixing occasional stalls during long sessions.
- Added a GPU-rendered burn-in overlay (meteor shower, matrix, wave animations) to protect OLED panels during idle time.
