January 2026 (Flow.Launcher) delivered a focused set of history-handling and serialization improvements aimed at improving reliability, user experience, and maintainability. Key features delivered improved clarity and consistency in history retrieval and serialization, while UI and code quality refinements reduced edge-case issues and enhanced developer experience. Key features delivered: - Simplified GetHistoryItems for clearer behavior and predictable results. - Renamed symbols and improved serialization readiness (IcoPathAbsolute naming; explicit JsonInclude for internal PluginID set). - Codebase cleanups and query handling improvements (Switch to TrimmedQuery; formatting improvements; added comprehensive method comments). - UI/UX and legacy item presentation improvements (Show Query style title for legacy items). Major bugs fixed: - History mode UI: fix highlight and scroll behavior when history mode is activated. - Deep copy stability: ensure LastOpenHistoryResult deep copy and glyph handling are correct to avoid shared-state issues. - Icon/glyph and title correctness: fix display and title rendering when different history styles are used. - History result ordering and limits: ensure results are ordered by ExecutedDateTime and honor max results shown. - Interaction reliability: fix preview toggling with Ctrl+H and context-menu early exit behavior. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased reliability and predictability of history results, improved serialization safety, and clearer developer and user experiences. Reduced risk of UI inconsistencies and data corruption in history-related flows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C# and .NET serialization (JsonInclude usage), memory-safe deep copies, null-safe comparisons, refactoring toward TrimmedQuery, and documentation best practices.
