Soup Macro — Changelog

v1.8 May 24, 2026 Latest

New Features

✦Mouse movement recording enabled by default — The "Record mouse movements" checkbox is now checked on launch; movements are captured and replayed accurately

✦Configurable capture precision — New spinbox to set the movement throttle (4–200 ms); lower = smoother path, higher = smaller file size

✦Mouse move events visible in recording list — Consecutive move events are grouped and shown as "🖱 Move ×N" so you can verify capture is working

✦Move count in status — The event counter now shows total events + number of captured movement points separately

Bug Fixes

⚡Auto-update installer conflict — Replaced root.destroy() with _quit() → os._exit(0) so the process fully exits before the installer tries to overwrite the .exe; added /FORCECLOSEAPPLICATIONS flag as fallback

v1.7 May 23, 2026

New Features

✦Burst Mode (Spam) — Press a key N times rapidly, then pause; perfect for burst-fire actions

✦Type Text step (Macro) — New macro step that types a full string character by character

✦Scroll step (Macro) — Scroll up or down by a configurable number of notches

✦Macro Startup Delay — Countdown before macro execution begins (like Spam & Tame)

✦Window Position Memory — The app remembers its last position between sessions

✦Autostart with Windows — Optional registry entry to launch Soup Macro on login

✦Settings Export / Import — Back up and restore all settings (config + macro steps + recording) as one JSON file

✦Recent Profiles — Quick-access list of the last 5 used profiles in Settings

✦Profiles now include recordings — Save/load macro recording events as part of a profile

Bug Fixes

⚡Overlay labels hardcoded in German — Labels now use the i18n system and update when switching language

⚡Language switch left pynput listeners running — All listeners are now properly stopped before the UI restarts

⚡Macro loop read wrong delay variable — _macro_loop was reading tame_delay instead of its own delay; macro now has its own configurable startup delay

v1.6 May 22, 2026

New Features

✦Resizable Window — The main window can now be freely resized; minimum size 420 × 560 px

✦Minimize to Tray — New button in Settings → Overlay; hides the window while keeping Soup Macro running

Bug Fixes

⚡Fixed interval field invisible — The "Interval (ms)" spinbox in Spam fixed mode was created but never packed/displayed

⚡X button leaves processes running — Clicking × now calls os._exit(0) after stopping all threads, listeners and the tray icon — no orphaned processes remain

⚡_tray_icon not initialized — Fixed potential AttributeError on first close; attribute is now set to None in __init__

⚡Config location — Moved from Program Files\ (not writable) to %APPDATA%\SoupMacro\

⚡Build cache — Added --clean to PyInstaller and pre-build artifact cleanup to prevent stale builds
