What's new since v1.0.0
UX & readability
- Contrast pass on faint text (rail U-numbers, device labels, secondary text) to meet WCAG AA
- Long runs of empty U's collapse into a single "N U empty (click to expand)" row instead of eating the whole screen
- Blank panel fields (Owner team, Warranty, etc.) are hidden instead of shown as "-"
- Tighter side-panel and general spacing
Configurable server rear panels
- Server rear ports are now per-device configurable instead of a fixed template: FC (0/2/4/6 ports, 16/32/64Gb), NIC (0/2/4/6, 10/25/100GbE), LOM, and iDRAC can each be set independently
- The three port types are visually distinct (FC green, NIC dark, LOM copper) and each gets the right cable medium automatically
- Devices left on the model default render exactly as before — nothing already placed changes
LLDP-based cable change detection
- Comparing pasted LLDP output against recorded cabling now reports four states: changed (red), new (green), removed (yellow), and matched (silent)
- Changed ports are marked on the rack itself with a thin colored outline — not a big circle, so dense/two-row port layouts stay readable
- A summary panel lists every difference with an action (update/ignore/delete) per item
- Every comparison is saved to a discovery history: pick a past run from the list to see its results again without re-pasting, and each entry tracks whether its changes were applied or are still pending
Cable-creation flow
- Port click targets are slightly larger so an edge click still registers, without overlapping neighboring ports
- After the first click, the cable end follows the cursor to the second port instead of giving no feedback
- Step-by-step hints, dimmed invalid targets, ESC to cancel, and a confirmation toast on success
Also
- Device deletion (from the edit panel and right-click menu), with a cable-count warning
- Newly placed devices open straight into Edit mode on the General tab
- Draggable/renamable device and port labels
