SimCrux 1.0.0

The first stable release, and the end of the public beta. Two things follow
from that. SimCrux 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 SimCrux in the Dock, the title bar, the Start menu and your app menu.

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

New

• cocotb is a first-class test type. type: cocotb now means something:
  SimCrux reads cocotb's own results.xml and the summary table it prints, so
  a cocotb suite is scored the way cocotb scored it. Tested against cocotb 1.9,
  2.0 and 2.1.
• simcrux-pro push-results, the CI writer (Enterprise). Every desktop
  artifact (the DMG, the installer, the portable zip, the AppImage, the
  tarball, the .deb and the .rpm) now carries the headless binary, so a CI
  job that has SimCrux installed can push a completed run to the team database
  without a second download. It exits 64 on a bad command line and reports a
  refused backend on stderr.
• A team results database (Enterprise). Point SimCrux at a PostgreSQL
  database you own and simcrux-pro push-results writes your CI runs into
  it, from as many machines as your pipeline runs on, each attributed to its
  origin. Reading that pooled history back inside each engineer's app is
  planned for 1.1: today the scope a run is filed under comes from the
  checkout path on the machine that wrote it, so the app does not yet chart
  what CI pushed. The local trend store keeps working regardless.
• Distributed runs (Enterprise). One templated cluster backend submits a
  regression to your scheduler, with the log path and work directory per test
  under a work root you control, and an organization-set retention ceiling that
  prunes what it keeps.
• 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,
  including for --ci and push-results on the machine the file was issued
  for. 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.
• Your history survives an upgrade. The trend database is backed up before
  any schema migration, records which build wrote it, and is quarantined and
  reported rather than deleted if it comes from a newer build. The per-project
  trend databases get the same treatment, and the per-suite chart now shows
  your local runs whether or not a team database is configured.
• Export a dashboard from the app, not only from a headless run.
• One project file that opens in whichever tool you reach for. A
  <design>.crux-project manifest opens from both dialogs and from the command
  line; a manifest double-clicked on macOS opens in the EDACrux product you
  chose for it.
• 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 simcrux, 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, names the account that may submit to the team database, and caps
  result retention. At startup SimCrux 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). Regression start and finish, the simulator
  used, results pushed to the team database, baseline rebases and retention
  purges are recorded.
• Updates know what you are entitled to. A release that only paid seats can
  install is no longer offered to an Open Core seat.
• SimCrux by ear. A full pass with a screen reader, now pinned as
  regression tests: launch focus lands on a named control, a results row is
  read as one sentence, the Tests dock and the results table are keyboard-
  driven with Enter and Space, a failed load is spoken, panels resize from the
  keyboard, and the first-launch dialogs can be answered without a mouse.
• Report a problem from inside the app, against the public SimCrux
  repository, with issue templates on the other end.

Fixed

• 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.
• A failing cocotb run was scored as a PASS. On cocotb 1.9 and 2.0 SimCrux
  read the wrong thing and reported green regressions that had failed.
• Verilator warnings no longer fail a build, # delays work, and extra
  flags you pass through reach the compiler.
• maxWaveformRuns was doing nothing at all. Waveform paths were never
  recorded on ingest, so the retention setting had nothing to count; dumps are
  now kept and pruned as configured, --ci prunes retained dumps, and
  capture: always keeps the dumps from passing tests.
• A project that will not load says so where it happens. A regex that does
  not compile fails the load, a detector given a number is a load error with
  its line number instead of a crash, a bad cocotb max_failures fails the
  load, a project that loads with warnings says so, and an included file
  inherits the including file's defaults.timeout.
• Cancel ends the run. Run and Re-run come back after a cancelled
  regression instead of staying disabled, and Re-run in the Details panel
  runs only the test you selected.
• --ci behaves in CI. It loads the project at the licence tier you hold
  rather than always at Open Core, it fails with exit 2 when a scheduled test
  never reports a result and when --baseline cannot be read, exports create
  their directory and never cost you the summary, --json puts nothing but
  JSON on stdout even when the framework itself errors, import and
  export-dashboard failures go to stderr, and a cluster run that dies is an
  error rather than a green job.
• Saving two files at once reruns the regression once, not twice.
• Cross-probing works again. SimCrux answers inbound cross-probe requests,
  a settings change no longer restarts the server and drops every peer, a send
  says when the peer has gone, failures are reported in your language, and
  peer discovery no longer stalls the window.
• Plugins get what the ABI promises. A driver plugin receives a real spec
  object and a probe reply, plus the test, the host version and the right
  working directory; a plugin folder that cannot be read is reported at once
  instead of after a minute; shutdown escalates only against a plugin that is
  still running; and quitting no longer waits out the full plugin grace period.
• Naming a project on the command line no longer crashes a first run.
• An applied theme pack stays applied, in the session and on the next
  launch; every theme preset paints the chrome it has always painted.
• Settings stick. A project entry with only options or environment keeps
  the binary path set in Settings, release builds can turn on Tab Diagnostics,
  and the flaky-retry switch and attempts stepper take effect.
• Big runs stay responsive. The log store is bounded by lines as well as
  buffers, the trend heatmap virtualizes its cells, and the dashboard's
  test-name filter applies once typing settles rather than on every letter.
• Closing a tab while its run finishes still prunes and runs the completion
  hooks, and trend storage figures refresh after a rebuild that outlived the
  card that started it.
• Colours, dialogs and empty states across the app. Border tokens that were
  colouring text are corrected and guarded against; the Inspector shows the
  same empty state as every other panel; dialogs no longer stack on a held
  shortcut or close on a stray click; Settings closing mid-write no longer
  throws; and toggling a dock redraws the dock rather than the whole layout.
• Double-clicking works, and SimCrux stops claiming files that are not its
  own. Its configs and results open from Finder and from Linux file managers;
  SimCrux is no longer the default application for every YAML file.
• Open in SimCrux Desktop opens the project as a config tab, instead of
  handing it to your editor, Pin Project Tab says it requires Pro instead
  of doing nothing, and Reopen Closed Project says when the folder has gone
  and moves on.
• A keymap written by a newer build is refused with an explanation, rather
  than silently overwritten, and two keyboard chords that reported "not yet
  implemented" are gone.
• A cross-probe arriving from another EDACrux tool bounces the Dock icon.
• A project file can no longer choose what SimCrux runs. It cannot pick the
  binary SimCrux spawns or its environment, it cannot make --ci write outside
  the project, and a test name containing ../ cannot put its log outside the
  work root. On Windows, SimCrux no longer runs an engine, editor or cluster
  client planted in the folder it was launched from.

Also

• macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or newer is now required. SimCrux 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.
• The bundled simcrux-pro command-line binary launches on macOS. A
  Dart-compiled binary is killed on sight by the hardened runtime unless it is
  signed with the right entitlement; it now is, and the release build runs the
  signed binary before it publishes it. (No published 0.8.0 build carried the
  CLI, so nothing in the wild was affected.)
• On Windows a fresh install goes to C:\Program Files\SimCrux, not
  SimCrux Pro. Upgrading over 0.8.0 with the .exe keeps the existing
  SimCrux 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.
• On Linux, SimCrux needs glibc 2.34 or newer.
• Other performance and quality enhancements.
