# v0.9.4 — Release Notes

**Date:** 2026-08-06 · **Tag:** [`v0.9.4`](https://git.kubebase.de/admin/tool-evaluator/releases/tag/v0.9.4)

## Design: Neon polish (v0.9.3 refinement)

Fine-tuning of the neon/AI look from v0.9.3 based on user feedback — subtle,
but clearly visible.

- **Rating bars:** The fill of rating/progress bars (e.g. "Rating breakdown",
  card footers) now uses a vivid cyan→violet neon gradient with high opacity.
  Differences such as **5.0 vs. 4.0** are now easy to tell apart.
- **Error/destructive colors:** Red error messages, logout and delete buttons
  are clearly brightened in dark mode and easy to read (vivid red instead of
  very dark).
- **Buttons:** Primary buttons now glow subtly at all times (not only on
  hover); destructive buttons get a slight red glow.
- **Navigation:** The active menu item in the sidebar is highlighted with a
  neon glow and a small glowing bar on the left.
- **Input fields:** Focus glow is strengthened to be clearly visible in dark
  mode.
- **Accessibility:** All animations still respect `prefers-reduced-motion`.
