Automata Lab 1.3.0

Automata Lab 1.3.0
Released 8 September 2026
Palette transition indicator connections

• Add a GitHub project link beneath the description in About Automata Lab.

• Connect a new Palette transition to initial and terminal indicators in either
  endpoint order, using the existing behavior without an Event dialog.

• Reverse the line immediately when the wrong end is dropped onto an
  indicator, even with its other end free. Keep both physical endpoint
  positions and follow the moved grip with keyboard focus.

• Clear both initial-state references when deleting their connection, and
  allow reconnection to repair models affected by an earlier deletion.

• Keep Save and Save As available for open models. Explain blocking validation
  errors when selected, and retain Save Anyway for incomplete projects.

• Finish a new line over an existing identical state/indicator connection
  without an error or duplicate line; keep the connection and remove the draft.

• Draw a visual connection directly from an initial indicator to a terminal
  indicator without changing the model's initial state.

• Keep unfinished indicator attachments and direct connections through
  Save/Open and Undo/Redo, and include them in the printed Chart Projection.

• Read and write file format 1.3.0 for the new indicator data while continuing
  to use earlier file versions when the document does not need the extension.
