  # Job 2 : Publie les assets nightly (exe + zip) sur la release
  # Ne tourne que sur push master (pas sur les PRs)
+  #
+  # Release tag: "nightly-qt6" (was "nightly").
+  # The old "nightly" release became IMMUTABLE after it was republished by
+  # this job while GitHub's "Release immutability" repo setting was briefly
+  # enabled (Oct. 2026). Turning the setting off again does not revert a
+  # release that was published while it was on: assets could no longer be
+  # added or deleted there, and its tag can never host a new release, even
+  # after the release itself was deleted. Hence a fresh tag. The old
+  # "nightly" release (with the frozen Qt5 legacy build) was deleted at the
+  # same time; its tag stays locked and must not be reused.
+  #
+  # Do NOT re-enable "Release immutability" while this single, rolling
+  # nightly release model is used: the next republish would lock
+  # "nightly-qt6" the same way. Immutability requires one new release per
+  # build (draft -> upload assets -> publish).

+# QElectroTech — Release notes: 0.100 → current master (0.200.1-dev)
+
+*Covers the period 26 January 2026 – 9 October 2026: 2,253 commits and 669 merged pull requests. Numbers in brackets are GitHub PRs (#nnn) or bug tracker entries (bugtracker #nnn).*
+
+---
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Qt 6 is now the platform.** The Qt 6 migration is complete, Qt 5 support has been removed, and Windows, macOS, Flatpak and Snap packages are built on Qt 6 / KF6.
+- **Rewritten auto-numbering.** Renumbering of existing elements, new numbering parts (alphabetic, cyclic/modulo, zero-padded formats), undo/redo for counters, global rules in the settings, and importing rules from another project.
+- **Many more drawing and editing tools.** Editable resize/rotate/skew handles for shapes and pictures, an Arc tool and a fillet tool, Group/Ungroup, Align and Snap to grid, mirroring symbols, rotating groups, text-box width handles, and dropping pictures onto a sheet.
+- **Productivity UI.** Command search, Ctrl+G jump to element or cell, an element picker and shortcut bar at the cursor, a context command bar, mouse gestures, repeat-last-command, configurable shortcuts, toolbars and gestures (Customise window), and paste under the cursor.
+- **Wiring, BOM and PLC.** A from-to wiring list export, a PLC Manager, slave contact groups and a full contact comb, terminal potential grouping, a material list lookup, smart-device BOM metadata, a generic device wizard, and drag and drop onto terminal strips.
+- **Import and export.** EPLAN Data Portal (.edz) import, PDF page import, and much better DXF export (layers, symbols as blocks with attributes). PDF export gains clickable cross-reference links and can be made reproducible.
+- **Command line, scripting and AI assistants.** Headless export and verification from the command line, a JavaScript scripting API (off by default), script buttons and a script manager, a macro recorder, and an MCP server (`qet-mcp`) with a "live mode" so an AI assistant can work on an open project.
+- **Dark themes and icons.** All toolbar and menu icons are now SVG, there are "qet" and "qet-dark" icon themes, an optional dark folio canvas, and many dark-theme fixes.
+- **English is the source language.** The interface text is now written in English (previously French), "folio" is renamed "sheet" in the English UI, and Korean has been added as a new language.
+- **Stability.** A large number of crash, use-after-free and memory-leak fixes, rotating crash-recovery snapshots, a hardened crash reporter, diagnostic logging, and reproducible project saving.
+
+---
+
+## New features
+
+### Auto-numbering
+- Renumber elements that are already placed [#704]; a broad overhaul of the formulas for elements, conductors and sheets [#1282]
+- Alphabetic numbering (a, b … z, aa, ab …) [#594]; wrap-and-carry (cyclic/modulo) numbering [#593]
+- A display format (zero mask) you can set for each numbering part [#634]
+- Quick reset buttons [#626]; edit the increment and preview the next number in the dock [#697, bugtracker #331]
+- Undo/redo now covers auto-numbering counter changes [#645]
+- Global auto-numbering rules in the application settings, applied to new projects [#924]
+- Reuse the numbering rules from another project [#851]
+
+### Drawing, shapes, pictures and text
+- Editable resize, rotate and skew handles for shapes and pictures, plus picture transparency and faster image handling [#809, #810, #817, #1024]
+- Arc tool with a handle to pull a half arc in or out [#1202, #1211]; fillet tool to round the corner between two lines [#1212]
+- Group and Ungroup items on a sheet [#1074]; click a member of a selected group to select it alone [#1110]; rotate a group as one piece [#660, #1111]
+- Align left/centre/right/top/middle/bottom, with icons [#1087, #1153]; Snap to grid for selected symbols, pictures, texts and shapes [#1073, #1152, #1154]
+- Mirror symbols horizontally and vertically on a sheet [#1354]; an option to keep the texts of rotated symbols horizontal [#1355]
+- Free texts can keep a width they wrap to, set in their properties or by dragging a corner handle [#1320, #1321, #1341, #1342]
+- Drag-to-resize the width of dynamic element texts [#591, #977]; a centre rotation point for dynamic text fields [#694]
+- Labels on pictures [#1068]; drop picture files onto a sheet to add them [#1416]; the crop, colours and original of a picture undo together [#1310]

+
+## Bug fixes (selection)
+
+### Crashes and memory safety
+- Use-after-free and teardown crashes: backup threads [#512], restore of backups [#711, #1031], project/diagram teardown [#789], IPC file forwarding [#868], the terminal strip dock [#1162], closing without saving [#1231], and the template editor [#1407]
+- Crashes when opening a project without a sheet [#797], with an unlinked contact [#1234], or with invalid corner layout [#670]
+- Element editor zoom crash [#799]; huge symbol sizes [#1232]; NaN and infinite coordinates rejected on load [#792, #996, #1161, #1194]
+- Dynamic text colour [#693]; cancelling collection load [#743, #995]; templates tree on Qt 6 [#795]; online-installer Qt SQLite handle [#1046]
+- Memory leaks found by AddressSanitizer and Valgrind [#515, #518, #519, #1360]; uninitialised members [#1358, #1359, #1387, #1388]
+- Thread-safety fixes for data paths and the elements panel [#514, #1163]
+
+### Saving, loading and file format
+- Saving is now reproducible: deterministic element, conductor, title block and XML ordering, and a second save changes nothing [#779, #814, #844, #846, #1030, #1109]
+- QDom serialization hardened against invalid data (CVE-2026-15037) [#568]
+- Font descriptions are written in a version-stable format, and salvaged fonts are reported [#582, #592]
+- The read-only state is cleared after Save As [#497]; Save As on Snap adds the .qet extension [#716]
+- Older parts lists keep their rows [#1077]; legacy sequential attributes are read correctly [#1385, #1386]
+- Wires no longer move to another symbol after saving an older project [#1417]; replacing a symbol keeps its wires [#1116]
+- Text position stays stable after a font-size change [#501]; wire text rotation is preserved [#707]
+
+### Editing and the diagram editor
+- Several copy/paste fixes: broken conductors, alignment, PLC data, master/slave links and underscore labels [#746, #770, #899, #909, #910, #911, #982, #997, #1188]
+- Undo stack fixes [#925, #1039, #1192]; group rotation [#921]; the first click in the element editor no longer moves elements [#520]
+- Junction dots on wide conductors and on shared lines [#862, #1299]; straight wires drawn diagonally [#1127]; unnecessary bridge routing [#890]
+- Duplicating sheets renews UUIDs and keeps text positions [#477, #544, #856, #895]
+- Multi-line symbol text alignment [#1155, #1160, #1176, #1302, #1357]
+- Cross-reference overlap and positioning fixes [#712, #1263, #1287]
+
+### Title blocks, reports and BOM
+- Title block variables: empty page-level overrides, bare %name variables, unset variables, names with a slash, and file names cut at the first dot [#572, #717, #719, #725, #989, #1121, #1140]
+- The summary table is ordered by sheet [#864]; custom summary SQL is kept [#887]; queries return all their rows [#1066] and are capped [#985]
+- Terminal and contact blocks appear in the parts list [#849]; the wire-name export no longer double-counts [#724]
+- Sheet dates are correct in the project database [#1134]; the database is rebuilt only once per load [#840]
+
+### UI, theming and platform
+- Dark theme: element icons [#620, #695, #744, #1092], slave cross-references [#718], the search field, and imported image colours [#1349]
+- Locale and translation loading: regional locales, the lang/ path, double-click on Windows, and an English fallback [#496, #498, #559]
+- Windows: Unicode and long paths in collections [#524, #1243, #1244], file association without admin rights [#1149], and MS Shell Dlg fonts in PDF [#1012, #1029]
+- macOS: bundle identifier and file dialogs [#829], Fusion dark palette [#894], properties dialog placement [#715], file-open events, arm64 bundle on Sequoia, and the black screen after PDF export
+- Snap: libxcb-cursor crash on Ubuntu 24.04 [#517]
+- Recent files menu updates during the session [#863]; cancelling the potential selector [#584]; dock layout restored on Qt 6 [#769]
+
+### Performance
+- Fixed the Qt 6 load-time regression in XmlElementCollection [#570]; removed the pugixml pass from ElementFactory [#567]
+- Faster saving of projects with pictures [#1067]; the element style regex is compiled once [#841]; picture cache fixes [#842]
+
+---
+
+## Translations
+- **New language: Korean** [#419–#431]
+- **English is now the source language** of the interface [#1390]; "folio" is renamed "sheet" in the English UI [#1216]; hundreds of untranslated or broken English strings are fixed [#1124, #1261, #1389]
+- Updated: German, Polish, French (with real plural forms), Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish (complete), Russian, Chinese (zh-CN), Czech, Turkish, Hungarian, Dutch (Belgium) and Catalan
+- Translation suggestions for 29 phrase books [#1006]; singular/plural fixes [#938, #971]
+
+---
+
+## Build, packaging and infrastructure
+- **Qt 6 migration completed and Qt 5 removed** [#540, #541, #546, #547, #698, #705, #709, #880]; C++20 [#1123]
+- qmake `.pro`/`.pri` files removed; CMake only [#1374]
+- Optional precompiled headers (`QET_ENABLE_PCH`) [#680]; builds without KF5/KF6 [#533, #557, #1086]; Qt < 6.5 [#1085]; QtPdf optional
+- SQLite kept for the project database; the export can be enabled via a CMake option
+- FetchContent dependencies pinned [#958]; PugiXML and GoogleTest are no longer installed [#838]; SingleApplication updated to v3.5.6
+- **CI:** Linux build and unit tests [#872]; Windows build and tests [#1361, #1425]; Windows MSI with WiX and signing (SignPath); monthly nightly builds
+- **Packaging:** Flatpak and Snap moved to Qt 6/KF6 (Flatpak runtime 6.11, Snap core24); the macOS arm64 bundle uses CMake; the NSIS installer is on 3.x with fonts and more installer languages; `publiccode.yml` added
+- New example project: Shelly single-phase and three-phase designs

 ## Tools

+Every tool takes a `.qet` or a `.qetz` (the same project, zipped). The
+tools that read a project's XML read the `.qet` QElectroTech saves from a
+`.qetz`, made once per version of the file with the configured
+QElectroTech (`QET_BINARY`); the first read of a big `.qetz` takes as long
+as QElectroTech needs to save it. The tools that launch QElectroTech hand
+it the `.qetz` itself, and write one when the output path ends in `.qetz`.

+/**
+ * The TerminalStripAutoImport namespace works out the terminal strips of a
+ * project from the labels of its free terminals, so that the user does not
+ * have to create the strips and move the terminals one by one.
+ *
+ * The rule : the name of a strip is the label of its terminals up to the
+ * first colon, "X1:2" giving the strip "X1", as numbered by the terminal
+ * numbering dialog. Terminals whose label holds no colon use the whole
+ * label, terminals with no label are left alone.
+ *
+ * The plant and the location work as follows : they are read from the
+ * terminal and only decide which strip to pick when they are set. An
+ * existing strip with the same name is reused as soon as they are empty
+ * (in most projects the plant and the location live on the strip, not on
+ * the terminals), while a set plant or location must match exactly, a
+ * strip being created when no one matches. That way the import never
+ * builds a second strip for a name that already exists.
+ *
+ * Two actions run this import :
+ * - the default one places free terminals only, it never moves or
+ *   re-sorts a terminal the user already assigned to a strip;
+ * - "re-group all terminals" also moves a placed terminal whose label
+ *   prefix or plant and location no longer match its strip, for the case
+ *   where the user corrects a terminal afterwards. Existing strips are
+ *   never re-sorted.
+ *
+ * The import is idempotent : a second run adds nothing, the terminals
+ * of a strip the user ordered or completed by hand are never re-ordered,
+ * only new terminals are added (at the end of the strip). Only a strip
+ * created by the import itself is sorted. When nothing has to change,
+ * nothing is pushed to the undo stack : the project stays untouched.
