## ## CS Remote — v0.8.100
In this release is an improved CSV Export saving the file with the settings used to generate the file. You can still change this to your own name if you prefer.
There are also some changes to the internal processing to avoid the crash that CS_Patch_Translator had in 0.8.99.
## CS Remote — v0.8.99
### New Features
**General patch set (107 patches)** A new general-purpose calibration patch set replaces the earlier Universal set. It covers the full 3D LUT space efficiently with a grey ramp, primary and secondary ramps (R, G, B, C, M, Y), ColorChecker Classic 2014 patches, skin tone references, and supplementary scene patches, closing with an 18% neutral grey.
- Grey ramp uses LUT-offset spacing (1023/21 steps) to avoid measuring only 17 or 33-node LUT points
- CV 767 included in all primary and secondary ramps — approximately 981 nits in PQ, the conventional 1000 nit reference level
- ColorChecker Classic 2014 values derived from X-Rite reference LAB (D50) via Bradford D50→D65 chromatic adaptation — correct colorimetric values independent of any specific display measurement
- Four skin tone reference patches defined as LAB values and adapted to each gamut
**Gamut selector for General patch set** Selects the colour encoding for ColorChecker and skin tone patches: BT.709, P3-D65, or BT.2020. Ramp and scene patches are gamut-agnostic and unaffected by this selection.
**Probe Match patch set (14 patches)** RGBW at 75%, 95%, and 100%, opening with black and closing with 50% mid grey. Designed for probe-to-probe matching workflows.
**Anisometric delivery for all patch sets** Patch Order (Sequential / Anisometric) is now available for Gamut Rings, Ramp, and Mastering in addition to Cube and General. Anisometric ordering varies luminance and chromaticity between consecutive patches to reduce ABL-induced measurement instability on consumer panels.
**Per-patch timing in log** Each patch entry in the log now shows elapsed time since the previous patch, reflecting the probe measurement round-trip. Useful for identifying slow measurements and diagnosing probe behaviour.
**ColourSpace CSV export format** Exported CSV files now use the ColourSpace import format: `Patch,R,G,B,Percentage` header with integer code values and a percentage column based on the dominant channel relative to the range maximum.
### Improvements
**Connection resilience**
- TCP keepalive enabled on the ColourSpace connection (10-second period)
- Read deadline (60 seconds) and write deadline (10 seconds) applied to all patch delivery
- Distinct log messages for timeout, clean disconnect, and transport error
- `ErrServerDisconnect` sentinel distinguishes ColourSpace-initiated disconnects from network drops
**Error presentation**
- Licence activation errors show friendly messages rather than raw JSON from the Polar API
- Version check errors in the About dialog are user-readable with a tap-to-copy detail option
- Format string bug fixed in error binding listener
**Port validation** Port entries in both fields are validated as integers in the range 1–65535, with a clear error message on invalid input.
**Licence sync** Background licence validation now uses local signature verification rather than re-activating against the Polar server, preventing "activation limit reached" errors on already-activated devices. The licence timestamp is refreshed on each successful validation. Opening the About dialog also triggers a sync.
### Fixes
- Ramp "Steps" field left edge now aligns correctly with form fields above it
