Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2dos/DK64-Randomizer): Delivered a region-based blueprint rewards overhaul, expanded hint region definitions, improved buffering and item placement for Blueprint rewards and related items (Blueprint Bananas, blueprints), and refined handling of 'foolish' items with Snide region dependencies. Reworked hints, spoilers, and scoring to favor less obvious locations, included region data in multipath hints, ensured Snide is included in spoiler categories, fixed joke hint selection, and stabilized UI state; spoiler output now updates correctly when wrinkly hints are disabled. Version bumped to 1.3.1 to reflect patch-level changes. These changes improve player guidance, consistency, and release readiness.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: DK64-Randomizer stability and correctness improvements. Delivered two targeted bug fixes to improve hint determinism and gating logic, enhancing user experience and gameplay consistency. Specific changes include (1) Deterministic Slam Hints Presentation: sort slam_levels by level.value in CompileHints.py to ensure consistent hint order and reduce information leakage about traversal paths, and (2) Helm Blocker and Warp Connector Adjustments: add a buffer to Helm B. Locker value and remove Castle Crypt as a connector map when certain warp settings are enabled to prevent unintended entry gating. These changes improve reproducibility of hints, prevent unintended gating, and enhance overall gameplay balance.
