SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.5.1) Dalamud API 14 and .NET 10 Sonar has been updated towards Dalamud API 14, which means it now uses .NET 10 as well. The needed changes for this were minimal and shouldn't be noticeable to users. All nuget packages were updated as well Fate Bonuses An interim fix has been added to show the [B] on fates with bonus exp, apologies for inconveniences caused This was caused as a result of me changing to use a placeholder formatter while doing localization work. In the future I intend to make the text shown customizable and this formatter is part of the framework to accomplish that. Note that Localization is still not finished. No progress has been made in this release. Resources Updated Resources updated to cover patch 7.4 and TW's release. New cosmic exploration area is not covered yet... we need to wait until release for that. Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR is merged:

Grafana Graphs A new Grafana graph has been created showing the client counts as time goes. The graphs are smoothed out over some period of time and will only draw lines once counts are above 100 The link has also been added at 🔊Sonar Clients: 9831 For now only the last 15 days are remembered, going further back in time is not available. I'll be working on this some other time.

Updates Delayed There are currently technical issues with the builds for global and china due to the need to update secrets as part of the security changes.
  • Global's secret generator website currently have an error with their primary key being expired
  • China's secret generator was okay, however an error is being thrown during build with the message format I'll be taking a further look tomorrow. In the meantime v0.7.4.1 is available through the Sonar repo.
Updating is currently not urgently necessary as the current version still works. If anyone installed v0.7.4.0 during the short time that it was available via the Sonar repo please update to v0.7.4.1 as a mistake sneaked into v0.7.4.0, which will cause it not to work. Update 12:13am EST: CN build has been fixed (edited)

SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.4.0) (v0.7.4.1) Sound Engine A new sound engine allowing selection of in-game UI sounds. Not all sounds work and some sounds are just... too quiet. Previous selections will continue to work using the previous NAudio based engine. Sounds for B Ranks have also been added Localization Localization now cover more strings, still a work-in-progress. Security Changes This update contain some security changes. I made sure previous Sonar versions will continue to work, however due to the nature of the changes, contact Sonar Support if this is not the case. Resource Updates Resources have been updated to cover patch 7.38 There may not be any user-visible changes. Update Availability This update will be available once the following PRs has been merged: This update is not compatible with CN and KR versions of Sonar. No releases planned at this time. KR will continue to use v0.7.0.7 (edited)

SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.3.7) (v0.7.3.8) Apologies for doing two updates back-to-back, I inadvertently placed the fixed logic before the null check Without this fix new Sonar installs won't work due to NRE. This update fix this oversight. (v0.7.3.7) Hunt Chat Reports Notifications section bug (v0.7.3.8) Section was stuck open in all cases. This release fixes this. Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR is merged: This update is not compatible with CN and KR versions of Sonar. No releases planned at this time. (edited)

SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.3.6) Sonar Client Configuration An oversight in the configuration loading code's update logic caused the following configurations to be lost:
  • Contribution settings
  • Receive Jurisdiction
  • Hunts configuration
    • All hunt rank and expansion jurisdictions
    • If configured manually, individual hunt jurisdiction
  • Fates configuration
    • Default Jurisdiction
    • Individual Fate Jurisdictions (however Chat and Sound alert checkboxes are unaffected)
    This was specifically caused by saving the updated configuration before reading the client's configuration. Unfortunately the above configurations are lost permamently and have specifically been reset to defaults, however this fix will prevent future instances of this happening. Apologies for inconvenience. If you have a backup you can use it on v0.7.3.6 without issues, however if you want to use it on v0.7.3.5 before v0.7.3.6 gets merged you'll need to manually edit Version from 2 to 3 to avoid the offending logic. If you're on a previous version you can wait until v0.7.3.6 is merged to avoid the offending logic as well.
(edit: 4:47pm EST: Clarified they been reset to defaults) Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR is merged: This update is not compatible with CN and KR versions of Sonar. No releases planned at this time. (edited)

SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.3.5) Opacity Setting Sonar Configuration windows's opacity is now updated as you change it.

  • Many strings are not yet covered.
  • Localization strings may change between release.
Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR has been merged: This update is not compatible with CN and KR versions of Sonar. No releases planned at this time. (edited)

Letting us know I'm aware of incorrect text being shown at the /sonarconfig's Hunt tab
  • "Track All Fates" is meant to say "Track All Hunts".
    • This is a text only issue and the checkbox does behave in relation to hunts
This is due to some bad luck during localization work. This has been fixed for next release. (note: this is still not completed yet) (edited)

SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.3.2) Custom DNS Resolver library removed (in favor of the .NET built-in library) This feature was added at SonarPlugin v0.7.2.0 to resolve some connectivity problems in certain configurations. It has however, proven to be more of a headache than its worth, resulting in random crashes I cannot reproduce. It was also being used for DNS bootstrapping by requesting a TXT record, which means I may not be able to dynamically update connection URLs without updating the plugin. (There's a web fallback however so this may not really be a loss) The happy http client has been modified to not depend on this library and will now use the built-in library to figure out addresses. Depending on your luck it may or may not work in affected configurations. I might revisit this once I can figure out a different approach. Apologies for all the pain and headaches caused by this library. Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR has been merged: This update is not compatible with CN and KR clients, no releases are planned at this time. (edited)

SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.3.1) Minor plugin update, no major functionality changes. Double percentage sign fix %% was an escape code to escape ImGui's formatting behavior to be displayed as just %, however Dalamud changed this behavior to be unformatted by default, causing these %% to show up verbatim. All redundant % signs have now been removed to accomodate for this new behavior. Another attempt at a fix for DNS Crashes All DNS queries are now performed on their own dedicated thread without the async machinery using a long running task instead. This is on the assumption that the async machinery is causing issues on how the NativeOverlapped structure is handled. Whether this will fix the crashes or not is currently unknown, please let me know. edit Aug 29 2025: NativeOverlapped is used by .NET Sockets code, not directly by Sonar. update: nope 😞 Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR has been merged: This update is not compatible with CN and KR versions of Sonar. No releases are planned at this time. (edited)
8/8/2025 1:43 AM

Localization work This update contains more localization work. As mentioned previously, the Localization section at /sonarconfig General tab has been hidden until I finish working on it. Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR has been merged: This update is currently compatible with CN and KR versions of Sonar, no releases are planned at this time.
