# QElectroTech - CHANGELOG
|
||||
|
||||
## Version 0.100
|
||||
|
||||
_Compiled from provided commit logs and contributor notes._
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This release (v0.100) collects a large set of new features, UI and editor improvements, element and symbol updates, build and packaging fixes, dependency upgrades, translations, and a broad set of bug fixes and stability improvements. It is intended as a stable, feature-rich stepping stone toward the next major workflows for symbol editing, terminal/strip handling and export improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
## Highlights / Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Terminal Strip / Terminal Strip Editor**
|
||||
- New TerminalStripItem type and related editor workflow added.
|
||||
- Support for drawing and displaying terminal bridges and links in the editor.
|
||||
- Full editor support (layout preview, save/load into .qet files) and undo support for terminal strip operations.
|
||||
- **New Example Projects**
|
||||
- Several new example projects included, notably photovoltaic (PV) examples to help users getting started with PV designs.
|
||||
- **Improved Export / Print Handling**
|
||||
- Export limits adjusted and better handling of QPainter/printing boundaries to avoid export artefacts and out-of-range errors.
|
||||
- Export dialog updated to allow larger pixel limits where appropriate.
|
||||
- **Element & Symbol Additions**
|
||||
- New elements and symbols added (including vendor-specific elements and additional sensors/Arduino components).
|
||||
- Improvements to element import & metadata handling.
|
||||
- **Packaging & Multi-arch Support**
|
||||
- Updated packaging scripts for AppImage, Flatpak, Snap and macOS deployment. Improved aarch64/arm64 support.
|
||||
|
||||
## Detailed Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Editor & UX
|
||||
|
||||
- Better handling for **rotation, flip and mirror** operations in the element editor:
|
||||
- Primitives and text rotation behavior improved.
|
||||
- Finer rotation increments and predictable text orientation after flips/rotations.
|
||||
- **Wiring and conductor behavior**:
|
||||
- More robust creation and movement of wires and conductor bundles.
|
||||
- Improved text attachment and positioning for wires and improved stability while editing complex conductor networks.
|
||||
- **TerminalStrip editor**: see Highlights - includes drawing, preview, layout editing, persistent storage in the project file and undo support.
|
||||
- **Element Editor & Symbol Trim/Sort**:
|
||||
- Improved trimming/normalization of element metadata.
|
||||
- Better sorting and error handling for element imports (DXF and other formats).
|
||||
- Small UI improvements: About dialog updates, autosave spinbox ranges, improved tooltips and mouse-hover help for dynamic texts.
|
||||
|
||||
### New & Updated Elements
|
||||
|
||||
- New elements added for industrial and automation workflows (including Siemens-related elements, logic elements, sensors and Arduino components).
|
||||
- Symbol library additions and cleanup; improved defaults for newly added symbols.
|
||||
- Element meta-data cleanup: article numbers, descriptions, and manufacturer fields were normalized and trimmed on import.
|
||||
|
||||
### Export / Printing / PDF
|
||||
|
||||
- Adjusted internal export limits to avoid hitting QPainter size restrictions; users can now export larger, high-resolution images/prints in more cases.
|
||||
- Better handling of page sizes and printer-related geometry using QRectF improvements.
|
||||
- PDF export improvements to increase reliability of exported vector content.
|
||||
|
||||
### Build, Dependencies, Packaging
|
||||
|
||||
- Upgrades of core test and build dependencies:
|
||||
- Catch2 upgraded to v2.13.10.
|
||||
- googletest upgraded to v1.17.0.
|
||||
- CMake fixes and i18n handling corrected for nl_BE and other locales.
|
||||
- Packaging scripts updated across platforms (AppImage/Flatpak/Snap/macOS deploy) including fixes for aarch64/arm64.
|
||||
- Submodule updates (e.g., qelectrotech-elements, pugixml, SingleApplication) synchronized where needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Internationalization & Translations
|
||||
|
||||
- Large translation updates across many languages: German (DE), French (FR), Dutch (NL, including nl_BE), Swedish (SV), Italian (IT), Polish (PL), Portuguese-BR (PT-BR), Serbian (SR), Chinese (Simplified) and others.
|
||||
- Fixes and corrections for many UI strings and localized resources.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tests, QA & Logging
|
||||
|
||||
- Improved logging and machine/config-path reporting; Git revision display refined to only show a revision when available.
|
||||
- Unit test updates and fixes to align with updated testing frameworks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bug Fixes (selected)
|
||||
|
||||
- Fixed crashes and various null pointer access issues discovered by static and dynamic testing.
|
||||
- Resolved multiple reported bugs that caused build failures on some platforms (FTBFS fixes for macOS and others).
|
||||
- Fixed issues with automatic conductor/strand numbering in several edge cases (referenced Bug 293 in the commit logs).
|
||||
- Resolved text/summary headline issues in the German-language summary generator.
|
||||
- Fixes for a number of visually incorrect renderings and layout corner-cases during element transformation (rotate/flip/mirror).
|
||||
- Fixed issues that affected export sizes and caused export artifacts (referenced fixes for bug IDs around #329/#330 in commit notes).
|
||||
|
||||
## Developer & Contributor Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Reworked parts of the codebase to use QRectF consistently for better compatibility with QPrinter and export pipelines.
|
||||
- Code-style cleanups and comment improvements applied throughout the project.
|
||||
- Expanded test coverage and dependency refresh to keep CI builds stable.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrade / Migration Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- No database or project file format breaking changes were reported in the provided logs. As always, back up projects before opening them with a new version.
|
||||
- If you rely on custom element libraries or third-party submodules, verify submodule synchronization after upgrading.
|
||||
- If you are using custom packaging pipelines, review the updated packaging scripts for any changes required by new dependency versions, especially on aarch64/arm64.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Issues & Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
- Some very large exports may still be limited by platform-specific rendering restrictions; the export dialog now allows larger pixel limits but extreme sizes may still hit system-level limits.
|
||||
- If you use niche element-import workflows (DXF → element import), occasionally metadata normalization may alter whitespace/trim rules - verify newly imported elements in the element editor.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to get help / report bugs
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the project issue tracker (see repository) to report regressions or new bugs with detailed reproduction steps and example .qet files where possible.
|
||||
- Include the output of Help → About (application version and Git revision) when reporting build/packaging issues.
