WaveCrux 1.0.0

The first stable release, and the end of the public beta. Two things follow
from that. WaveCrux is now licensed: Open Core is free and stays free, and the
Pro and Enterprise features the beta handed to everyone now need a key. When
one is refused, the app says which tier it belongs to instead of quietly doing
nothing. And the app is named for the product rather than for the tier, so it
is WaveCrux in the Dock, the title bar, the Start menu and your app menu.

Download it from wavecrux.app/download, run it
in the browser at app.wavecrux.app, or read the
manual at docs.wavecrux.app.

New

• Licensing, in the app. Settings ▸ License takes a key, shows what it
  entitles you to and when it renews, and Manage subscription opens the
  billing portal. Education users can apply for an EDU licence from the same
  panel. For machines that cannot reach the internet there are licence files:
  export a request, import the signed file, and the tier is active offline. A
  licence that has been cancelled or has run out of seats drops the app back to
  Open Core and says so, rather than failing in some other way.
• A suite licence spends one seat per machine, not one per product. A seat
  is a computer. Installing the third and fourth EDACrux product on a machine
  that already has a seat no longer exhausts the seat count, because all four
  products now present the same machine identity. Deactivate this machine
  releases that seat for every EDACrux product on the computer at once, from
  whichever product you happen to be in, and the confirmation says so before
  you agree to it.
• First launch asks. You accept the licence agreement, then answer a
  usage-statistics disclosure, before the app opens. Usage statistics start
  switched off in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and South Korea, and can be
  turned off anywhere in Settings ▸ Privacy, which now also shows the
  installation ID the reports carry, so you can quote it. --reset-eula and
  --reset-telemetry-consent reopen either prompt.
• One project file that opens in whichever tool you reach for. A
  <design>.crux-project manifest opens from the file picker, from the command
  line, and by double-clicking it in Finder or a Linux file manager; a manifest
  double-clicked on macOS opens in the EDACrux product you chose for it.
• Open a waveform from VS Code. The EDACrux extension can hand WaveCrux a
  waveform it has never opened before.
• Drop a file on the window. On macOS, Windows and Linux the whole window
  is a drop target: empty canvas or open waveform, one file or several. Each
  waveform opens in its own tab, an FSDB gets the conversion offer, sessions,
  share packs and project manifests open as they do from the picker, and a
  dropped .gtkw is imported into the active tab. Previously only the browser
  build accepted drops.
• Cocotb TRACE lines are shown. The log panel was discarding them.
• Deployment for managed fleets. Alongside the installer and the AppImage
  there is now an MSI for SCCM and Group Policy, and .deb and .rpm packages
  for package-managed Linux. The Linux packages are named wavecrux, so apt
  and dnf install and remove them under that name. SHA256SUMS is written
  so that sha256sum -c verifies it.
• Organization policy (Enterprise). An administrator can ship a signed
  policy file that sets the update channel, pins a version or points at a
  mirror, allowlists decoder plugins by content hash, sets decoder parameter
  defaults, seeds standard signal groupings, and distributes theme packs and
  session templates. At startup WaveCrux reports which policy file it accepted
  (or that it refused one, and why) and names the keys this build honours and
  the ones it ignores, so a mistyped key is visible instead of silent.
• An audit trail (Enterprise). Decoder activations, Stage-widget loads,
  session saves, licence tier changes and Pro feature activations are recorded.
  A saved session is logged by file name, never by its full path.
• Updates know what you are entitled to. A release that only paid seats can
  install is no longer offered to an Open Core seat.
• WaveCrux by ear. A full pass with a screen reader, now pinned as
  regression tests: the signal tree, its context menu and its selection work
  from the keyboard; the transaction table is walked as controls and rows and
  read in words; focus returns somewhere useful when you close the last file;
  and the first-launch dialogs can be answered without a mouse.
• Report a problem from inside the app, against the public WaveCrux
  repository, with issue templates on the other end.

Fixed

• A decoder this build cannot run survives a save. A session that names a
  Pro decoder opened in the open-core build, or a plugin decoder that failed to
  load, used to lose it on the next save. It is now kept and written back
  unchanged.
• File ▸ Open opens every file you pick. Selecting more than one waveform
  in the dialog did nothing at all; each one now opens, as dropping them always
  did.
• Escape no longer reports that there is no cursor to clear straight after
  clearing it.
• On Windows and Linux the menu bar works for the whole session. Items that
  need an open document stayed greyed out from launch until you quit; macOS,
  which uses the system menu bar, was never affected.
• Dropping a tab on another tab reorders it, rather than doing nothing.
• LXT and LXT2 files open. Every shipped build failed every LXT/LXT2 open
  that had no fresh sibling .fst, and the browser build failed all of them:
  the converter library was never bundled on any platform. It is now part of
  the one native library every build already ships, on desktop, mobile and the
  web.
• sigrok decoder plugins start. A plugin was never told which decoder it
  was being created for, so it refused to initialise.
• The browser build. It starts (it was looking for files only a desktop
  install has), exports download instead of trying to write to a path, the
  transaction table's Export CSV works, and save destinations that only
  make sense on a desktop are hidden rather than offered.
• GTKWave session import reads the primary marker from the * line and
  skips ^ filter lines, instead of misreading both.
• Panning, searching and X-trace no longer stall the window. Panning
  re-read every transition in view on each frame; the signal tree filtered on
  every keystroke; tracing an X copied the whole history; the Debug Advisor
  froze the UI for 60–110 ms every time the cursor moved; the transaction table
  tried to render every row. Each of those is fixed, the row cap says when it
  is in effect, and the RTL source cache is now bounded.
• Colours, dialogs and empty states across the app. Cursors, markers and
  rulers follow the active theme and any edits you make to it; an activated
  theme pack stays active; status-bar text and pane resizers take the theme's
  chrome colours; twenty-nine places that coloured text with a border token are
  corrected; Solarized Dark's status bar is legible; dialogs no longer stack on
  a held shortcut or vanish on a stray click; the presenter hand-off picker has
  a Cancel; every panel shows the same empty state; and revealing or collapsing
  a dock redraws the dock rather than the whole layout.
• A plugin, Stage widget or organization theme that fails to load now says
  so in release builds, instead of disappearing.
• Double-clicking works, and WaveCrux stops claiming files that are not
  its own. .vcd, .fst, .ghw, .lxt, .lxt2, .wavecrux,
  .wavecruxpack and project manifests open from Finder and from Linux file
  managers; WaveCrux no longer offers itself as the handler for every text or
  source file.
• wavecrux --help prints usage and exits, instead of leaving an empty
  window open.
• The diagnostics report states the version you are running, not 0.1.0,
  and Tools ▸ Copy Diagnostics Report actually copies it.
• In-app help links land on pages that exist, and the privacy and terms
  links go to the suite pages.
• Cross-probe sends report every failure, in your language, and closing the
  panel mid-send is safe.
• Closing a panel while its file picker is open no longer left the viewer
  ignoring the mouse.
• A keymap written by a newer build is refused with an explanation, rather
  than silently overwritten.
• Two settings that changed nothing are gone, Split Pane Right is no
  longer offered where the pane cannot split, and Add All in Scope shows
  progress from the first moment rather than after it finishes.
• Windows: Generate & Reveal selects the file in Explorer, and a tool
  that is not installed starts nothing instead of a stray process.
• A cross-probe arriving from another EDACrux tool bounces the Dock icon.

Also

• macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or newer is now required. WaveCrux 0.8.0 ran on
  macOS 10.15 and later; 1.0 does not. If you are on macOS 11 or earlier, 0.8.0
  remains available and will keep working, but 1.0 and later will not install.
• On Linux, WaveCrux needs glibc 2.38 or newer. Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 39+,
  Debian 13+. The other three EDACrux products need only 2.34. If the AppImage
  or the .deb/.rpm refuses to start or install on an older distribution,
  this is why.
• On Windows a fresh install goes to C:\Program Files\WaveCrux, not
  WaveCrux Pro. Upgrading over 0.8.0 with the .exe keeps the existing
  WaveCrux Pro folder, because Inno Setup resolves the install directory from
  the recorded application id rather than from the new default; the .msi
  replaces the old install and moves it. Your settings are unaffected either
  way.
• Linux app-menu entries no longer carry the "Pro" suffix. If you run the
  AppImage, the entry it writes into your applications menu is rewritten on
  first launch of the new build. .deb and .rpm installs were never
  affected.
• Other performance and quality enhancements.
