Version 0.6.12 - Release Notes

Version 0.6.12 is focused on making the cube editor feel faster and more polished during everyday use.

The biggest work in this release is around the cube list itself: opening card actions, moving cards between lists, adding cards, and previewing cards should all feel smoother now, especially in larger cubes.

⚡ Cube list editing should feel much faster

I spent time tracking down a few places where the cube list was doing more work than it needed to.

The most noticeable improvement is around opening card actions and working with larger lists. Right-clicking a card, moving cards, and updating the visible list should no longer feel like the whole editor briefly freezes.

The editor should now handle that kind of list much more comfortably.

🃏 Moving cards between cube and considering is now optimistic

Moving a card between the main cube list and the considering list now updates the interface immediately.

CubeForge still saves the change in the background, but the card no longer waits for that write to finish before moving on screen. This makes C shortcut moves and context-menu moves feel much closer to add/remove actions.

If that background save fails, CubeForge now restores the card and shows a clear failure message instead of silently rolling the move back.

✨ Card list animations are lighter

I replaced the heavier list transition behavior with a simpler animation model.

Cards no longer animate out when they leave a list. Instead, newly added or moved-in cards get a soft green pulse that fades over a few seconds. This keeps the useful visual feedback while avoiding the expensive layout work that was making larger lists feel sluggish.

The same "in" animation now also applies when adding a card through the Search for a Magic card input.

🔍 Card previews are more reliable and better framed

I fixed a bug where the small card preview tooltip could stay visible after moving or removing a card, especially when the cursor ended up over empty space.

Card image previews also got a visual cleanup. They now use a more realistic Magic-card corner radius, a proper border, and a tiny edge mask to hide the thin light edge that can show up around scanned card images.

I also applied that same card-image treatment in other places that show full card images, including the card detail modal, draft views, P1P1 views, version selection, and custom card lists.

📝 Blog posts now have a default featured image

Blog articles without a custom featured image now use a default CubeForge blog image instead of a plain gradient placeholder.

This applies both on the blog index and on the article page itself, and it is also used for social sharing metadata when a post does not define its own cover image.
