What's New

New features

  • Floating Remote: a detachable, always-on-top remote window you can pop out and reposition independently of the main app, with the same key bindings as the embedded remote.
  • Remember Device Passwords: Dev passwords are now securely persisted per device in the OS credential store and auto-filled on reconnect; managed from the Settings dialog.
  • Device Performance / Proc Stats: Live CPU, memory, and process stats from the connected Roku are surfaced in the Dev App with real-time charts and a dedicated performance step in Device Metrics.
  • Pop-out Log File Viewer: open .log / spilled console captures in a standalone window with virtualized rendering, structured-log folding, and persistent find.

Improvements

  • Console & Log Viewer overhaul

Rebuilt around a new virtualized renderer that handles very large logs without UI jank.
Smarter line classification, JSON pretty-printing, URL detection, and structured-event folding/expansion.
Redesigned find bar with match highlighting, navigation, and keyboard shortcuts.
Modal surfaces (structured view, URL details) now share focus-trap + backdrop-click behavior for consistent UX.

  • Console Logs spill to disk — long-running telnet sessions now spill to a rolling on-disk buffer so you can scroll back further and reopen captured output later.
  • Windows zoom behavior — fixed inconsistent zoom / DPI scaling on Windows; zoom level is now applied uniformly across all app windows.
  • Settings dialog — refreshed layout, new device-credential management section, and improved IPC plumbing.

Fixes

  • Numerous stability and rendering fixes in the telnet console panel under heavy log volume.
  • Misc polish across the dev app, quick remote, and query search.
