cannet v0.10.0

Opening a capture

• Fixed: a BLF written relative to capture start no longer draws
  negative times.
• Fixed: an import now keeps every frame inside the range you asked
  for.
  • Previously it stopped at the first out-of-range frame and never
    resumed.
  • On the measured file that lost 90 of 121 frames, including the two
    earliest.
• Fixed: a capture is anchored at its true earliest timestamp, not
  at whatever arrived first.
• Fixed: the import dialog shows a file's real earliest and latest
  times, not the first and last objects in file order.
• Fixed: a BLF whose writer crashed now opens. One missing trailing
  byte used to discard the whole file.
  • 16,387 frames recovered from the measured fixture; the file itself
    is never modified.
  • A system message says what was recovered, and that the absolute wall
    clock was lost.
• New: loading shows real progress — bytes scanned, then frames
  imported, then frames decoded.
• New: a Cancel button sits beside the progress bar and works during
  both load phases.
• Fixed: cancelling a large MDF import now actually stops. It used
  to keep building caches for the capture you discarded.
• Fixed: a signals-only MDF (signal data, no CAN frames) now plots.
  It used to import fine and draw nothing.
• Fixed: clearing and re-importing the same file updates the view.
  It used to leave the trace stuck showing raw epoch seconds.
• New: the channel-map dialog takes the keyboard — Enter accepts
  the defaults, Escape cancels, Tab stays inside it.
• New: an example set at examples/time-origins/ shows how each
  kind of time origin behaves.

Saving a capture

• Changed: the toolbar button reads Export and sits beside
  Import, wearing the mirror of its icon.
• Fixed: a capture interrupted mid-write now leaves a visible file
  where you asked for it, and a BLF one still opens.
• Fixed: Save Capture no longer rewrites out-of-order timestamps. A
  saved BLF now matches what was captured.
  • The measured error was 500 ms of invented delay on one frame.
• Fixed: a saved BLF's header now states the capture's true end
  time, rather than its last-appended object.
• Fixed: MDF event blocks now carry the ASAM-correct marker type.
  Files already written stay mislabelled.
• Changed: an event's colour now fills a BLF marker's label instead
  of colouring its text.
  • Other tools will draw a solid coloured block where they drew thin
    coloured glyphs.

Databases and decoding

• Fixed: a signal's enum labels now come from the database that
  actually decodes it.
• Fixed: a trace row and a plot no longer disagree about the same
  signal's value.
• New: a database assigned to no bus decodes nothing anywhere,
  instead of silently decoding every bus.
• New: unchecking a bus parks that database's caches; assigning it
  back brings the samples straight back.
• New: where two databases define one signal, you can pick which one
  wins. The pick is saved in the project.
• New: one pick also re-points every reference to a signal that was
  renamed in a newer DBC.
• Fixed: the Database panel no longer claims an unassigned database
  "applies to all buses".
• New: two databases defining the same id now warn on the losing
  row, naming which one wins.
• Fixed: a database edited on disk now reaches the plot, the
  filtered trace and the by-id view.
• Fixed: renaming a VAL_ label updates the pickers and the plot
  without reopening the view.
• Fixed: the ingest verifier no longer borrows a counter or CRC
  designation from a database that does not supply the message.
• New: a plot series from a project older than per-bus binding is
  flagged as undecoded and can be re-pointed.
• New: the Database panel groups a multiplexed message's signals by
  mux arm, named from the selector's own labels.
  • Dragging an arm plots that arm's signals in one gesture; search
    finds arms and reaches into them.
  • Single-signal arms stay flat; extended multiplexing stays a flat
    list with a note.

The signal mapping panel

• New: a View Signals panel lists every signal your open views
  reference, and what currently decodes each one.
• New: its toolbar badge counts the signals needing attention, live,
  whether or not the panel is open.
• New: filter by status or by bus, wash rows by status, and sort by
  bus.
• New: an RBS signals grid shows every field's encoder status, so an
  override the encoder dropped is visible.
• New: a drifted row — scale changed, or gone stale — carries a
  one-click Accept that adopts the database's current definition
  across every referencing view.
• New: RBS values clamp to the signal's physical range on entry,
  with out-of-range entries highlighted.
• Fixed: a hex value typed into the RBS panel goes out as raw bits,
  not as a decimal physical value.

Plots

• Fixed: a signal on a shared axis renders at its real amplitude —
  the −200 A drawn as −1.5 is gone.
  • Changed: unified mode no longer stretches each unit group to
    fill the canvas. Use per-unit or individual.
• Fixed: enum y-axis ticks are bare numbers now; the quoted label
  beside every tick is gone.
• Fixed: a 300-value enum no longer draws 300 ticks. The count
  follows the axis's height.
• Fixed: a long enum label on a lane tile is ellipsized and drawn.
  It used to be omitted entirely.
• Fixed: a plot on a stopped capture re-reads after a database
  change, instead of holding the old decode.
• New: set a plot's visible range from the palette — two numbers for
  min and max, one for a width.
• Fixed: measurement statistics over a span no longer drop a sample
  when two samples share a timestamp.
• Fixed: a long event label wraps to two lines and ellipsizes
  instead of running over its neighbours; the highlighted marker draws
  on top instead of under them.

Long names

• Fixed: long signal, message and enum names render correctly on
  sixteen surfaces instead of overflowing or being cut.
  • Names ellipsize in the middle, so two names sharing a prefix stay
    distinguishable.
  • The full name is a tooltip everywhere it is shortened.
  • One pathological name can no longer reflow a whole panel.
• New: the shipped example databases carry long names and
  44-character enum labels.

The trace and the grid views

• Fixed: clicking a signal inside an expanded row selects it instead
  of collapsing the message you were reading.
• New: disclosed signals are real rows — arrow keys, Shift+click
  ranges and drag-select all work inside them.
• Fixed: a timeline event now lands on the right trace row on an
  ordinary multi-bus capture.
  • The anchoring search assumed sorted timestamps; real captures dip
    several times a minute.
  • A marker could land on the wrong row, or be dropped with nothing
    said.
• Fixed: arrow-key navigation no longer rings the whole grid
  viewport with a browser focus outline.
• New: Space on an event row jumps to it; F2 renames it inline, in
  both the events view and the trace.
• Fixed: finishing an event rename hands the keyboard back to the
  grid. The arrow keys used to go dead.
• Fixed: an invalid palette prompt shows an inline error and stays
  open, instead of closing silently.
• New: jump the whole session to a time with Mod+T; go-to-event
  gains Mod+E.

Events

• New: an event can say what it is about — signals, messages, or
  other events, mixed in one event.
• New: event rows carry subject chips naming the message or signal
  the event points at.
• New: Shift+click a plot area with signals selected to create an
  event about exactly those signals.
• New: right-click a trace frame row to create an event about that
  message, at that frame's time.
• New: hovering or selecting an event lights up what it points at
  and fades everything else.
• New: link two events, and the pair draws its extent as a coloured
  wash while either end is hovered.
• New: events have kinds, and every view has a per-kind checklist to
  show or hide each one.
• New: each event carries an editable description and a tag; the
  events view filters on both.
• New: subjects, links, tags and descriptions survive a save and
  reopen, in both BLF and MDF.
• Fixed: a BLF full of another tool's comments now survives a
  re-save. cannet used to drop every one.
• Fixed: deleting an event removes every other event's reference to
  it, so no chip points at nothing.

Transmit and RBS

• New: Space sends a one-shot transmit row, or starts and stops a
  periodic one.
• Fixed: Space in the RBS panel enables or disables the row. It used
  to scroll the panel instead.
• New: the RBS signals list is a real grid — visible cursor,
  click-to-focus, arrow keys and Space.
• Fixed: opening a project can no longer put frames on a bus. RBS
  Run is no longer saved with the project.
• Removed: the kill switch. There is now one answer to "how do I
  stop transmitting".
• New: an RBS message row says whether it will transmit, and reads
  Muted when it cannot.
• Fixed: a counter or CRC declared in a DBC now populates the fields
  editor. The controls used to be empty.
• New: each populated field says whether it came from the DBC or
  from an override in this project.
• Fixed: a malformed CannetCounter attribute now names the text it
  choked on.
• Fixed: unassigning or reloading a database stops the RBS elements
  and periodics it was driving.
• Fixed: a transmit row's Start is no longer disabled by a
  disconnected bus, so it matches what Space does.
• New: every customization an RBS file carries can be removed where
  it shows — a trash column in the grid, a × beside the tree's
  summaries. Removing a value asks twice; the rest are one click.
• New: a fresh RBS grid opens showing only customized rows. Check
  Default back on to see the whole simulated bus.

Undo

• New: undo now covers your project edits — the mapping panel's
  picks, remaps and re-points, RBS enables and period overrides, event
  links — in one history with layout and element changes, under one
  Mod+Z.
• Changed: undo never touches what goes out in frames. An RBS value
  override applies immediately and stays outside undo — which is why
  removing one asks for confirmation.

Bus health and connections

• New: a bus health panel shows per-bus controller state, TEC and
  REC, bus load, error rate and adapter.
• Fixed: an imported BLF's error frames read "Bus error" instead of
  looking like empty data frames.
• New: an error storm is summarised as one timeline event with a
  count and a time span.
• New: the trace holds an error-frame flood behind a Collapse
  Errors toggle, on by default once a bus errors. The capture keeps
  every frame; the toggle only hides rows.
• New: a transmit the adapter refused to take reads Tx ✗ in the
  trace, with the reason on hover.
• New: a remote server's refused transmits are tallied into the
  system log with the server's own words, instead of being discarded.
• Fixed: the status bar's frame rate no longer reads 0 while two
  adapters stream frames.
• Fixed: Kvaser adapters are now discovered. Installed builds never
  found them before.
• Fixed: Connect refuses when a project bus has no binding, naming
  the bus, instead of silently connecting around it. A new project
  starts with one bus ready to bind.
• New: the status bar shows live bus load for the worst bus while
  connected.

Servers

• New: cannet-server with no flags now serves every interface on
  0.0.0.0:50051.
• New: startup prints the address, certificate fingerprint and
  token, ready to paste into the GUI.
• Fixed: a server no longer advertises LAN addresses it does not
  serve, so discovery stops offering dead endpoints.
• New: the project panel always offers a way into the Servers panel,
  not only once a binding exists.
• New: a trusted server's row is live without a bus bound to it —
  its interfaces, "no interfaces", or "discovering…".
• New: a server counts as online while it is streaming to this
  host, even where mDNS cannot cross the subnet to say so.
• Fixed: accepting a server's identity or pasting its token dials
  at once, so a wrong token is refused immediately instead of the next
  time the server is needed.

Projects

• New: a New button at the head of the top bar, available even
  with no project file open.
• New: a Projects menu and palette entries reopen recent
  projects, most recently used first.
• New: Save is a split button — pressing Save saves the project and
  every unsaved RBS file, and Save As sits behind the caret beside it.
• Fixed: a project or RBS file edited outside cannet is noticed
  instead of being silently ignored.
  • Clean and idle, it reloads itself; dirty or transmitting, you get a
    notice with Reload and Dismiss.
• Fixed: cannet's own Save is no longer mistaken for someone else's
  edit.
• New: the log says what became of an outside edit — applied, or
  held behind the notice, and why.
• Fixed: on macOS, watching files on disk now works at all — it had
  been silently dead for projects, RBS files and databases alike.
• Fixed: a broken or half-written file on disk is parsed before
  anything is applied, so your copy survives.
• Fixed: setting a recent-items limit to 0 now remembers nothing. It
  used to keep the newest entry.

GUI

• New: toolbar redesign.
  • One compact button style throughout — the top bar and every panel
    toolbar.
  • Buttons combined under menus to save space: one Add ▾ menu for
    panels, overflow menus where a bar runs out of room. Bars no
    longer wrap.
  • A connection status bar: per-bus connection state on one control,
    live bus load, and the session counters.
• New: one drawn icon set across the app — the same glyph means the
  same thing everywhere.
• Removed: the Connect all / Disconnect all button and the plot's
  catalog-reload button. Both were redundant.
• Removed: the measurements strip.

Packaging

• Changed: Windows ships the NSIS .exe installer only. The MSI is
  gone.
  • Per-user and silent install without admin; anyone scripting the
    .msi has to switch.
