Public statistics by Firestone

  • Credits Firestone as the origin of the public statistics, used with permission.
  • App statistics links now lead to Firestone’s official website. Previous third-party promotional links have been removed.
  • Cached statistics receive the same corrected credit as freshly retrieved data.
  • Technical retrieval URLs remain in the source and metadata for accurate provenance. This update changes attribution and links; it does not replace the retrieval adapter.

1.0.15

Duos boards, in portrait order

  • Enemy team history now follows the actual upper/lower portrait order on the leaderboard: upper hero and board first, lower hero and board second.
  • Removed numeric player-ID sorting, which could put the two heroes the wrong way round.
  • The client’s hovered hero identifies the correct row. Portrait order is remembered for that pair, refreshed when observed, and cleared for a new match.
  • If the order has not been confirmed yet, the popup waits rather than guessing which board belongs in the upper row.
1.0.14

Match panels, lethal odds and the current pool

  • Added a left-side match panel with the current ten minion types, starting/current MMR and the latest eight games with placement and rating changes.
  • Replaced the top combat bar with lethal / win / tie / loss / lethal. During recruitment, the bar shows Previous Combat.
  • Fixed lethal percentages that were reading damage arrays cleared by the simulator. Solo lethal estimates now use the retained totals and observed damage cap; unavailable values remain blank. Duos lethal estimates are not yet available.
  • Removed rotated Naga from the current minion lists and tribe filters. Historical cards remain available for recorded fights.
  • Moved automatic updates to this website. Version 1.0.14 and later check on launch, verify the installer and apply it silently before reopening in the background.
  • Website refresh: new match-panel examples, the updated 30-second trailer, clearer help and this dated release history.
1.0.13

Buff tracking, combat odds and hero tiers

Updates for Hearthstone card build 256589.

- 24 active-only buff counters with bundled icons.
- Detects truncated game logs and clears frozen counters.
- Firestone combat simulator 1.1.777, with persistent-buff inputs and current-patch checks.
- Hero tiers show recent previous-patch statistics with an explicit label.
- Refreshed card data and clearer source/build labels.

Existing settings and match history are preserved. Fully restart Hearthstone after correcting its logging limit. Combat percentages remain experimental estimates.

The exact updated application source is included in TavernLens-1.0.13-source.zip.

Validation: 857 application checks and 55 combat checks passed.

1.0.12

New buff counters and smarter updates

New buff counters, each shown only once you've started buffing it: Deity (Aberrations), Beetles, Tavern minions, Tavern Elementals and Undead attack, alongside Blood Gem and Tavern spell counters. Hero tier badges no longer swap places after you pick a hero. Combat odds now resume automatically after a Hearthstone patch once the new build passes TavernLens's simulator tests, and say why when they're paused. Updates now come directly from GitHub releases with checksum verification. Card art for old game builds is cleaned up automatically (installs had grown to about 1.6 GB), and the installer is smaller. Settings and match history are preserved.

1.0.11

Hearthstone 37.0

Updated for Hearthstone 37.0 (card build 255790). Combat estimates are validated for the new build with simulator 1.1.774 and reference data 3.0.219, so win/tie/loss odds work again after the patch. Card data refreshed; verified card art is now pre-cached for the current build only, which makes the installer smaller. Settings and match history are preserved when updating.

October 2026

1.0.10

Automatic updates

TavernLens now downloads verified updates silently when it launches, installs them, and reopens automatically. The updater checks the published SHA-256 checksum before installation and leaves the current version usable if downloading or verification fails. Includes the Hearthstone 36.6.3 data and combat updates from 1.0.9.

1.0.9

Battlegrounds 36.6.3

Updates TavernLens for Hearthstone card build 253932 and patch 36.6.3. Refreshes 164 changed card records and upgrades the combat simulator to 1.1.770 with reference data 3.0.216, restoring current Solo and Duos win, tie and loss estimates.

September 2026

1.0.8

Battlegrounds 36.6.1

Updates TavernLens for Hearthstone card build 253216 and the live Aberration pool. Adds Aberration filters to the minion browser and upgrades the independent MIT-licensed combat simulator to 1.1.759 for current Solo and Duos estimates.

1.0.7

Automatic updates and current game data

Restores win, loss and tie estimates on Hearthstone build 251952, refreshes the current Battlegrounds data, and adds a verified automatic update prompt for future releases. The active pool remains at 274 minions until the announced September 22 changes go live.

1.0.6

Hearthstone 36.6 compatibility

Updated card data to build 251952 and restored combat estimates after the patch compatibility gate blocked them. Validated ten recorded combats on the new game build, Solo and Duos combat fixtures, 719 tracker checks and 1650 card-art checks. Scheduled September 22 pool additions remain excluded from the active pool before release; Aberration combat awaits engine support.

1.0.5

Compact history and gold income

History panels now fit the remembered board, with undistorted portrait artwork. New movable gold counter shows maximum gold, guaranteed next-turn gold and stacked Overconfidence draw/win payouts. Temporary bonuses follow game telemetry and disappear when paid. Supports Solo and Duos.

1.0.4

Full minion portrait effects

Fight history now uses board portraits with full Divine Shield bubbles, Reborn auras and Taunt frames, plus normal/golden borders. Attack and remaining health use large outlined serif numbers. Venomous, Poisonous and Deathrattle appear in their board positions. Applies to Solo and Duos.

1.0.3

Recorded card stats and effects

Recorded attack and remaining health now appear on fight-history cards. Divine Shield, Taunt, Reborn, Venomous, Poisonous and Deathrattle use Hearthstone artwork. Applies to Solo and Duos history and retains normal/golden card identity.

1.0.2

Compact movable overlays

Smaller buff counters, saved Alt-drag positions for overlay windows, and a compact top-centre Win/Loss/Tie bar.

1.0.1

Tracking setup fix

Fixes log discovery across session folders and the Logs root. Detects the running Hearthstone installation and adds Enable tracking with restart instructions.

Dates for versions 1.0.1–1.0.13 are their recorded publication dates. These are historical release notes: references to old game builds or update sources describe the app at that time. Earlier development history is not included where a dated release record is unavailable.
