v1.0.7

Built for macOS 13.0 (Ventura).
App's height (and version) changed to prevent bottom text cut-off.

The installer build includes an updated nw.js wrapper, v0.69.1 (which included Chrome Engine v106) to resolve BP Launcher failure-to-run issue on macOS Ventura v13.0.

NOTE: Though it's built for macOS Ventura, it was also tested and verified to run on macOS Catalina and later.

v1.0.4

Enhancements:

• Extended end-of-download timeout to resolve false-negative results.
• Log now maintains user scroll position (by fixed amount) or will auto-scroll as needed.
• Improved communication with active browser tab regarding communication port lists and preferred port selection.

Fixes:

• Set log to clip older-than-250 lines of messages. Beyond that, refreshes become too slow and affect further download success.

v1.0.3

Fixes:

• Limits log view to most-recent 250 lines
• Increases download packet timeout to 1000 bytes, trying to increase reliability

v1.0.1

Enhancements:

• Ports are managed much more naturally; often no user-selection need be made for wired port and newly-connected ports (wired or wireless) appear above previously existing ports of the same type
• Log view now auto-scrolls (can be overridden by user scroll)
• Log view "Verbose Logging" feature now works; adds timestamp SSMMM (Seconds, Milliseconds) and Socket ID and direction indicators for browser communication messages
• Verbose Logging setting is saved
• Removed BlocklyProp button since it is deprecated; use BlocklyProp Solo from now on

Fixes:

• Fixed download failures, often during RAM Checksum step
• Halts then resumes timed events (port scanning and messaging) on either side of Propeller download requests.
• Fixed bug occasionally preventing "site disconnected" messages from being logged
• Win and Mac versions now properly report "for Windows" and "for macOS" on window, rather than "for Chrome"
• Fixed can't-set-port-options reporting bug

Developer:

• Launcher v1.0.1 for macOS is built from commit 7993255e22, which is a few commits ahead of the Chromebook and Windows release point.

v0.11.2 (r2)

Release 2 of v0.11.2.

• Includes updates for macOS High Sierra (and prior).

v0.11.2

• Fixed port filtering to exclude Bluetooth ports - this eliminates extra port that would otherwise appear
• Signed and notarized Mac release to install and run properly on macOS Catalina
• Removed Mac FTDI drivers (from Mac release) since Catalina's built-in drivers work successfully

v0.11.1

• Updates included Mac FTDI USB Driver to v2.4.2.
  • This solves the "surprise removal" problem from the previous driver: disconnecting the USB cable from a device whose serial port was open causes the hardware to never return again on that physical USB port (until reboot).
• No changes made to BlocklyProp Launcher itself, other than the version number.

v0.11.0

• Changed Open Browser button to be two buttons to open BlocklyProp Solo and BlocklyProp sites
• Supports Chromebook, Windows 7+ (not RT or S), and macOS 10.10+

v0.10.0

• Added tooltip for status when waiting to connect
• Enhanced/Updated settings feature
  • Made settings button appear active when settings panel is visible
  • Removed Websocket button from settings pane as it is no longer needed
  • Fixed Allow WX feature that was not truly disabling WX support
  • Automatically remembers Allow WX setting between sessions
  • Fixed subnet mask entry to autosave and refresh list of available WiFi (WX) Modules
  • Removed wx not fully supported message; it's fully supported now.
• Disabled taskbar notification to prevent unnecessary user interruption
• Now supports Windows 7+ (not RT or S)
• Now supports macOS (installer coming in v0.11.0)

v0.9.8

• Enhanced to treat ports by friendly name in user's visual port list and internally by name and path as needed.
