Changelog

1.8.2

  • Hotfix for issue with buffer component where setting a label causes a NullPointerException
  • Hotfix for issue with memory editor for both RAM and ROM components where pasting 16 or more values causes it to skip a column every 16th value
  • Improve error message window to include “Save and Exit”

1.8.1

  • Significant performance and memory usage improvements
  • Holding CTRL will keep a component selected after placing it
  • Circuit file generation is now deterministic
  • Fix subcircuit pin count mismatch errors
  • Fix display of Output pin, where it used to be printed as Input pin
  • Fix saving ROM contents after being broken in 1.8.0
  • (Breaking change) Fix subcircuit pin ordering on the east and west side by sorting by Y instead of X

1.8.0

  • Revamp ROM/RAM component look: now showing the current address and value
  • Revamp ROM/RAM memory editor: no need to double click to start typing, no need to hit enter to commit, full multi-cell copy/paste support
  • Huge improvement and bug-fixes to wire behavior when moving components and with undo/redo
  • Add RandomGenerator component
  • Add copy/cut/paste to context menu in circuit editor
  • Display missing label names in certain components
  • Add All Files option in Load File dialog
  • Fixed bug with gates where downsizing the number of inputs kept the extra Negate options

1.7.4

  • Fix several bugs with wire creation when dragging components
  • Give an option to send an error report upon unexpected errors
  • Minor bug fixes

1.7.3

  • Fix blue wire issues with Tunnels and subcircuits
  • Highlight wires when clicking on them
  • Ctrl+scroll now zooms in/out
  • Right clicking when placing components or dragging wires cancels the action
  • Fix bug with intersecting wires being auto-joined on drag
  • Improved error handling

1.7.2

  • Add Probe component, which lets you observe values on wires without resorting to output pins
  • Improve behavior multi-component selection when holding down control by disabling drag-less wire creation when control is held down
  • Copy doesn’t do anything when nothing is selected instead of emptying the clipboard
  • Other minor bugs fixed

1.7.1

  • Squashed tunnel bugs: now short-circuits should propagate properly across them and tunnels should work properly
  • Added comparison type to Comparator: now you can do both 2’s complement and unsigned comparison
  • Draw magnifying glass to subcircuit components when hovering over them to indicate ability to view internal state
  • Officially making a file format change supporting library paths
  • Other minor bugs fixed

1.7.0

  • Big thanks to Cem Gokmen for helping with the Mac issues and Austin Adams for gradle-ifying the repo!
  • Now supporting both Java 8 and 9 - thanks to Austin Adams for figuring out how to create a multi-release Jar.
  • Huge rendering performance improvements, especially for Mac
  • Fixed keyboard shortcut issue on Mac
  • Use system menu bar on Mac instead of the in-app bar
  • Added an update checker that notifies you when there is a new version
  • Fixed a bug with subcircuits where it pushed values through output pins, causing seemingly un-explainable short circuits.
  • Improved behavior of tab selection when moving them or deleting them, especially with undo/redo
  • Many minor bug fixes and improvements

1.6.2

  • Fixed exceptions being thrown when using Tunnels
  • Now you don’t have hit enter to update a text or value property, someone complained that it was annoying. The component is automatically updated when you unfocus from the text input.
  • Multi-bit wires with a floating bit (X) now show up as dark blue instead of black
  • Button now has directions

1.6.1

  • Improved behavior when dragging components to also delete wires whenever they overlap existing ones
  • Huge performance increases with subcircuits and tunnels. Bad designs will still be very slow to run the autograder in.
  • Now showing Help dialog on first run.

1.6.0

  • Added creation of new wires when dragging components. This allows maintaining existing connections when dragging components to new locations.
  • Hold CTRL before beginning the drag to disable this.
  • Fixed file load issue where an error was thrown if the folder doesn’t exist anymore.
  • Fixed issues with dragging + keyboard shortcuts
  • Fixed an undo bug when updating components
