These release notes apply to every platform build. Download details stay in the platform picker.
Features
- Local echo: Terminal passthrough now echoes what you type in the receive view, so a device that never echoes back — common on embedded targets — no longer leaves you typing blind. It is separate from Display Send, which shows and logs whole frames from the send box: local echo renders keystrokes in place, in typing order, and keeps them out of the log. Off by default, since a device that does echo would otherwise double every character
- Indicator lights toggle: The quick-settings panel can now hide the TX/RX and control-line indicators and give the space back to the data views
- Cloud Console live channel: The cloud console now carries commands and status over a WebSocket instead of polling, removing the poll-interval delay. A backend that does not advertise the gateway keeps working on the previous HTTP polling path
Interface
- The quick-settings bar drags narrower: Its minimum width used to follow the longest port name, the longest combo entry and the widest label all at once, pinning the bar near 300 pixels. Long combo entries now elide in place — the popup still shows them in full — and the shared label column stops growing, so the bar goes as narrow as you need it
- Consistent settings terminology: Options… is now Settings… in the main window and the multi-port dialog, the terminal's connection, receive and send settings read consistently, and the settings panel's Options group is named Log Behavior after what it actually holds
Fixes
- Misaligned columns from a missing monospace font: The receive and send views name Monaco, which does not exist outside macOS — only Windows' Consolas was substituted before — so those views fell back to a proportional face and the HEX and timestamp columns drifted out of line. Both families now substitute to the system monospace font when they are missing
- Online services missing from Microsoft Store builds: MSIX packaging compiled out account sign-in, cloud sync and the cloud console entirely, so the Store build shipped without them. It now matches the direct download
