BoardRipper v0.44.0

v0.44.0 — 2026-09-28

Added

• Shift+Scroll is the browser's horizontal scroll again (#40). Every
  browser turns Shift+wheel into a horizontal scroll before the page sees
  it, and both viewers took it for zoom. The three scroll slots — plain,
  Shift, ⌘ — are now independent, for the board and the PDF alike, in
  Settings ▸ Input and on the start page. A fresh install gets Shift = Pan,
  ⌘ = Zoom; an existing install keeps the layout it had, and the start page
  offers the one-click switch.
• Butterfly works on layered boards. KiCad, Allegro, Altium and EAGLE
  boards showed the button and it did nothing. Traces, vias and copper
  pours are hidden while Butterfly is on — they belong to the board as a
  whole, not to a side — and a toast says so.
• A board loading in the background says so. Opening a second board
  freezes the page while its scene is built — a second or more on a
  tablet, during which a finger on the glass gets no answer at all. A
  "Loading …" banner now sits at the top of the board area from the moment
  the file is opened until the new board is on screen, and it is painted
  before the freeze begins.
• Edge smoothing has a switch. Settings ▸ Performance & Debug ▸ Edge
  smoothing (MSAA), on by default. Off saves GPU work on a machine that
  cannot afford it, at the price of jagged thin lines.
• A legacy web build for older iPads. iPadOS 15.4–16.3 gets its own
  build at ripperdoc.de/boardripper/legacy-web, and a supported-devices
  page lists browsers, iPads and iPhones by model. A browser below the
  floor now sees a message with the minimum versions instead of a blank
  page.

Fixed

• Allegro v15: real pin numbers, no invented parts. A third 15.5.x
  sub-variant (Jasper_Kronos) drove a rewrite of the pad walk. Pads come
  from the pad ring with the pin numbers the file carries — the old walk
  invented 1..n in file order, which swapped pins 1↔3 on every SOT-23 and
  1↔2 on every diode — and drawing symbols no longer become empty parts
  that blew up the board bounds. Against Allegro's own v17 re-save of the
  same board: 7982 of 7982 pins, 7910 nets agree, none disagree.
• PDF fonts, CJK maps and image decoders are actually shipped. The
  URLs pdf.js was given for its character maps, standard fonts and wasm
  decoders pointed at nothing in every build; only the dev server worked.
  PDFs with non-embedded fonts or JPEG 2000 / JBIG2 images render now.
• Tapping a part right after flicking the board selects it. With inertia
  on, a tap while the board was still gliding stopped the glide but selected
  nothing, which read as "sometimes a tap can't select a component". A tap
  during the glide now selects the part under it.
• The touch context menu opens on the iPad. Press and hold a part. iOS
  used to answer the same hold with its own callout and cancel the touch.
  The first board opened on a touch screen says so once.
• Lines on a tablet are smooth again. The touch performance profile
  turned off edge smoothing for the board, which left every thin line —
  the board outline first of all — jagged and at an uneven width. Edge
  smoothing stays on; the profile keeps its 60 FPS cap and 1.5× render
  resolution ceiling.
• The Silkscreen toggle works while Butterfly is on. Butterfly moves the
  bottom silkscreen out of the shared silkscreen layer to mirror it with the
  bottom half, and the toggle stopped reaching it there — the silk came on
  with Butterfly and could not be turned off.
• The "gpu idle" readout is gone from the debug HUD. The value it read
  is cleared every frame, so it never showed anything.
