BoardRipper v0.49.0

v0.49.0 — 2026-10-10

Added

• PDFs are sharp at any zoom, on every quality preset. While you pan or
  zoom, the page is drawn at the preset's size; a moment after you stop, the
  part on screen is drawn again at the exact zoom. Fastest is now as sharp as
  Quality once the view settles — it was unreadable past 2×.
• Opening a PDF shows what is happening. The tab opens at once and says
  whether the file is downloading, being read, opened or drawn; a file that
  cannot be opened says why. The banner over the board area covers PDFs too,
  and text indexing shows as "Indexing text 23 %".
• PDF quality on the start page, beside Board quality, with the same four
  names: Quality, Balanced, Fast, Fastest.
• A Board quality preset — Quality, Balanced, Fast, Fastest — on the start
  page. Fast and Fastest trade resolution, frame rate and trace corners for
  speed on tablets.
• Settings ▸ Rendering, a tab of its own for board and PDF quality, the
  board text renderer and diagnostics. It was System ▸ Performance & Debug.
  Smooth wheel zoom and two-finger rotation moved to Input ▸ Navigation.
• Reset all local settings in Settings ▸ System ▸ Troubleshooting, for a
  stored setting that left the board blank. Recent files, favourites, history,
  the session and PDF bookmarks are kept.

Changed

• PDF zoom is much faster. On a large schematic at tablet speed, an
  eight-step zoom settles in about 3 s instead of 6, and the page freezes for
  well under a second instead of three. Neighbouring pages are drawn only as
  sharp as they need to be, the same pixels are no longer rendered twice, and
  the pages you are reading stay ready instead of being re-read after four
  seconds.
• Dense boards draw faster. Traces and pads are now skipped when they are
  off screen, and empty part containers cost nothing.
• The app no longer re-renders everything on each board change — a tap,
  a selection or a rotation was redrawing every panel.
• Two-finger rotation now unlocks at 24°.

Fixed

• A PDF zoomed past 500 % in Chrome turned black. The Quality preset drew
  the page into a canvas of about 700 MB next to a neighbour of the same size,
  more than Chrome's graphics memory. Canvas memory now stays near one screen.
• Connection lines stay visible while you pinch instead of vanishing until
  the fingers stop.
• CPUs, sockets and connectors are no longer drawn as mechanical parts with
  no pin numbers or net names.
• No freeze when PDF text indexing finishes, and a repeat open shows its
  first page about 300 ms sooner.
• The NR2201ZE family's indiafix watermark is filtered by default.
