Asprogrammer PN 4.45.0.0 — safe imports and journal recovery

4.45.0.0 — Asprogrammer PN and safe firmware imports

• Rename the application, executables, project files, reports, build artifacts,
  and documentation to Asprogrammer PN.
• Reject HEX/S-record data outside the selected chip instead of reporting a
  successful load with skipped bytes. Compute address bounds without 32-bit wrap.
• Validate HEX record types, fixed field lengths and trailing bytes, and S-record
  address lengths before decoding. Rejected imports preserve the loaded image.
• Repair an incomplete journal tail before appending new progress, so a second
  interruption does not hide subsequent completed records.
• Production station and hardware-validation environment variables now use
  the ASPROGRAMMER_PN_ prefix. Update launch scripts when upgrading.
• Retain persisted project, signed-job and journal namespaces for compatibility. Existing
  backups remain discoverable after upgrading. GitHub URLs retain their current
  repository location.

Validation: all 37 hardware-free Windows suites passed, plus the desktop simulator smoke test with zero failures. New parser fixtures failed before the fix and pass afterward; the torn-journal append regression likewise went from failing to passing. Physical programmers were not tested.

Download and extract AsprogrammerPN-4.45.0.0.zip, then run AsprogrammerPN.exe. The ZIP also includes AsprogrammerPNCLI.exe, runtime dependencies, and a CycloneDX SBOM. CI supplies SHA-256 checksums and build-provenance attestation.

NVRAMancer 4.44.0.0 - English workspace and write recovery

NVRAMancer now opens directly into the remembered workspace with English menus built into the executable.

• Prepare writes, choose matching chip profiles, resolve routine errors, and review results inside the main window. Write remains the explicit commitment.
• Save backups automatically and verify NOR/EEPROM writes again after closing and reopening the programmer.
• Recover interrupted desktop NOR writes from the original backup and saved image, including erased neighbouring bytes. Saved hashes, chip identity and erase geometry are checked before continuing.
• Share immutable prepared jobs, reject ambiguous chip names, and improve supported Winbond voltage metadata.
• Fix simulator selection and make full-chip simulated reads efficient.

This release also includes the withdrawal of the experimental T48/minipro preview from version 4.43. Existing T48 settings are ignored; T48 support is unavailable.

Validation: 37 hardware-free suites on Windows and Linux, plus a Windows desktop smoke test using an 8 MiB simulated NOR chip for automatic preparation, explicit Write and interrupted-write recovery. Physical hardware and visual layout were not validated for these changes.

Download NVRAMancer-4.44.0.0.zip for the portable Windows GUI and headless CLI, runtime libraries, chip catalogs and documentation. SHA256SUMS.txt contains the package checksum. The release artifact is built and attested by GitHub Actions.
