 # Changelog
 
+## 3.4.0 — 2026-10-18 — The sailor always wins, and the pilot gets unstuck
+
+Rolls up Rev506 → Rev508 on top of 3.3.0, from the strong-wind sea
+trial of 2026-10-18 (26 kn TWS, 48° heel). Minor bump: new opt-in
+recovery and alarms. No breaking changes; everything new is off until
+enabled.
+
+### Added
+- **Stuck pilot recovery** (Smart Pilot card, opt-in). With no rudder
+  sensor, pypilot treats an overcurrent as the end of rudder travel and
+  stops driving that way. If the AP is engaged, the heading error is
+  over 25° and growing and the servo is not pushing for 4 s, the plugin
+  turns the AP off and on (0.7 s, same mode and target), which clears
+  that fault in pypilot. At most 3 tries per minute. An order from the
+  sailor during the cycle wins, and a running virtual tack is kept.
+- **New alarms** (opt-in, Setup > Alarms): `steer-stuck`,
+  `steer-gave-up` ("steer by hand") and `steer-dropped` (AP disengaged
+  from the remote or the TinyPilot keys while underway).
+- **+-1 / +-10 during a virtual tack** move the tack's final heading
+  instead of being rejected.
+- `servo.flags` is watched and saved in every session sample.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Taking the AP off now cancels a virtual tack**, whatever the source
+  (visor, KIP, remote, TinyPilot). Before, the tack kept running and
+  rejected the sailor's own headings until it finished. After a cancel
+  the boat holds its current wind angle.
+- Repeated taps on the tack button within 1.5 s no longer chain
+  start / cancel / start (wind modes).
+- `unable-to-steer` can fire again: it required servo duty, which the
+  TinyPilot never reports. It now also fires on a large error while the
+  servo is stopped by an overcurrent fault.
+- Settings tab: unlocking a group no longer asks about the profile; the
+  question appears only for PROFILE settings. Open or unlocked groups
+  are no longer folded, relocked and reset to old values by the 10 s
+  background refresh.
+
+## 3.3.0 — 2026-10-19 — Light on the Pi, AIS on the ring, settings shared by every device
+
+Rolls up Rev483 → Rev505 on top of 3.2.0. Minor bump: new shared
+visor settings in the backend, Raspberry Pi performance work, AIS rose
+fixes from port and sea QA in Moaña, tide popup polish. No breaking
+changes; the first visor that connects uploads its old per-device
+settings, so nothing is lost.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Settings shared by every device.** AIS mode (harbour / at anchor /
+  sailing), AIS voice, harbour auto-silencer, gust ghost and the list
+  of silenced AIS targets now live in the plugin (`/visor-prefs`), not
+  in each browser. Silencing a target on the tablet silences it on the
+  phone and the laptop too; the harbour auto-silencer is decided once,
+  from the boat's SOG, instead of separately by each screen. (Rev498,
+  Rev499)
+- **Light mode on the Raspberry Pi's own screen.** The visor detects
+  the Pi's browser and drops animations, blur and glow, and only
+  touches the page when a value really changes (291 → ~9 DOM writes
+  per second). Pi GPU with the visor open: Chromium 15 % → 3 %.
+  (Rev490 → Rev492)
+- **Firefox on the Pi: one-tap fix.** Firefox's GPU renderer overloads
+  the Pi's graphics chip (GPU ~90 %, 64 % of video frames dropped). The
+  Info tab explains it and an **Apply now** button writes
+  `gfx.webrender.software` into that Firefox's profiles; a one-time
+  notice points there. Also in the README (Troubleshooting).
+  (Rev500 → Rev502)
+- **Interactive tide curve** in the tide popup: hover / drag cursor
+  with time, height and trend, big trend arrow, collision-free labels;
+  tide button always shown, with an install prompt and App Store link
+  when AnchorWatch Pro is missing. (Rev483 → Rev489)
+- **Info tab: companion plugins** with live installed / missing status
+  and App Store links. (Rev485)
+
+### Fixed — AIS
+
+- **Targets sit on the compass ring** at their real bearing, with a
+  distance label, instead of being parked on top of our own hull in a
+  marina (the log distance scale put every target under 50 m there).
+  (Rev494)
+- **Moored boats no longer "move".** Class B boats report 0.3-1.6 kn of
+  GPS noise when tied up; a target counts as stopped when its AIS nav
+  status says moored / anchored / aground, or when two minutes of its
+  positions stay inside 30 m. No course line, no "moving" alarms.
+  (Rev503)
+- **"Closing" speed in the infobox** was distance / TCPA (a moored boat
+  at 48 m showed 37 kn); now the real range rate. (Rev495)
+- **Autopilot alarm banner always visible.** It was drawn below the
+  maximised chart, popups, the regatta HUD and the network banners:
+  the alarm beeped and spoke but could not be seen. (Rev497)
+
+### Fixed — other
+
+- **Recorded sessions / session tags / received advice dialogs could
+  trap you.** The only way out was the Close button at the end of the
+  content; with many sessions (224 on the test boat) it was pushed
+  off-screen. Now an X is always visible, the list scrolls inside the
+  dialog with title and Close fixed, and tapping outside or Escape
+  closes it. (Rev504)
+- **Recorded sessions capped at the newest 50** (one is recorded per
+  engage; 224 had piled up). On top of the existing 200 MB budget.
+  (Rev505)
+
+### Docs / package
+
+- README rewritten against the code: license (AGPL-3.0-or-later), the
+  free-form SSH console described honestly, 14 alarm rules, polar
+  plugins named, Head-to-wind **and** Downwind pseudo-modes, every
+  integration (AnchorWatch Pro, chartplotter, AIS, polars) in the intro,
+  no invented plugins or path counts.
+- New App Store / README screenshots (8): rose with AIS, embedded chart,
+  AnchorWatch Pro inside the rose, tide popup, head to wind / downwind
+  modes, tune, logbook trip, tack history. JPEG under 500 KB each; test
+  files no longer shipped (package 3.4 MB → 1.4 MB).
