Roadmap & changelog

Planned. In progress. Shipped.

Three phases of work, in that order. The first two come from the public ROADMAP.md in the main repo — they change as tickets advance. The third is the actual release history pulled from CHANGELOG.md at every build.

  • 6 planned
  • 7 in progress
  • 9 stable releases
1

Phase 1

Planned

Spec'd, scoped, and waiting in line. Each ticket has acceptance criteria written against the codebase before any work starts.

6

Editor & runtime

3
  • Planned

    Snippet Lab + algorithm practice

    Tagged snippet collections + "compare two snippets" + saved assertions.

  • Planned

    Local AI code assistant

    Desktop-local Ollama MVP first through `window.lingua.ai.*`; WebGPU, BYO keys, and hosted credits stay later phases under `AI_BRIDGE_ADR.md`.

  • Planned

    Marketing website + docs hub

    Separate marketing site at linguacode.dev with docs/download/pricing.

Execution & tooling

1
  • Planned

    Integrated terminal (desktop)

    Embed xterm.js + node-pty panel in the desktop build.

Personalization & polish

2
  • Planned

    Static site export + publish

    Export JS/TS/HTML projects as self-contained static ZIP; one-click publish to GitHub Pages.

  • Planned

    Gamification + achievements

    Achievement catalog, per-user progress, streaks.

Phase 2

In progress

Slices already shipped, more to come. Whatever's listed here has working code in the current binary — it's just not a finished story yet.

7

Editor & runtime

2
  • In progress

    Multi-file playgrounds + starter galleries

    Shipped so far: project tree/search ergonomics, replace-in-files, and project bundle export/import. Remaining: promote `fs:searchInFiles` to ripgrep, finish starter-gallery handoff with RL-103, improve binary-asset export fidelity, and keep total-uncompressed bundle caps honest. Landed details live in PLAN notes; archive policy/index lives in [`ARCHIVED.md`](./ARCHIVED.md).

  • In progress

    Sharing, collaboration, publish flows

    Shipped so far: no-backend URL-fragment share links with privacy confirmation, Settings toggle, safe hash boot, and telemetry. Remaining: split clipboard denial vs user-cancel telemetry, Phase A2 `.linguashare` multi-file artifacts after RL-024 project primitives, and backend-gated cloud/embed/collab.

Languages

2
  • In progress

    Debugger MVP

    Shipped so far: JS/TS breakpoint UI, debugger panel, source-map-aware pauses, run/debug split, stepping controls, telemetry, and docs. Remaining: conditional-breakpoint predicate evaluation and watch-expression evaluation after a security review of worker eval patterns; logpoints remain a later extension.

  • In progress

    Expand languages toward 15+

    Shipped so far: Ruby web runtime and Ruby desktop native subprocess on the hybrid dispatcher, plus earlier validate-only language packs. Remaining: native execution for Java, Kotlin, Scala, Swift, C, and C++; each promotion is its own slice.

Execution & tooling

2
  • In progress

    Notebook / cell-based execution

    Shipped so far: versioned notebook schema, minimum cell editor, runner-owned per-tab sessions, markdown/code cells, run controls, script export, telemetry, and persistence scaffolding. Remaining: `.linguanb` disk persistence, Monaco cells, 200-cell virtualization, TS transpile, reactive dataflow, full export/import, Python runner wiring, and AST declaration rewriting.

  • In progress

    Inline data visualization + rich output

    Shipped so far: rich output renderers for charts/html/images/errors, JS/TS/Python worker bridges, source-origin badges, chart export, sandbox e2e, image clipboard paste, and telemetry/privacy guards. Remaining: image-paste resize and unreadable-file toast polish; per-kind Settings toggles stay out unless a future design reverses baseline rich rendering.

Personalization & polish

1
  • In progress

    Guided lessons + app galleries

    Shipped so far: guided-tour scaffolds plus Recipes search overlay, assertion runner, 10 bundled JS recipes, persisted progress, reset UI, and telemetry. Remaining: Python and TypeScript recipes, AI hints via RL-031, user-authored recipe import/export through RL-100, lesson progression tree, and `lingua lesson validate`.

Phase 3

Shipped

Stable releases on the public channel. Pulled from CHANGELOG.md at every build — never typed by hand.

9

  1. v0.6.0

    Added

    • Free developer utilities: Every single-shot developer utility (JSON, Base64, URL, UUID, hash, timestamp, JWT, color, diff, beautify/minify, regex, and the rest) is now available on the Free tier. The advanced utility *workflows* — multi-step pipelines, history that persists across reloads, and clipboard-on-focus automation — remain Pro, each with an in-app unlock prompt.
    • Deny-by-default desktop permissions: The desktop shell now refuses Electron permission requests (camera, microphone, geolocation, and the like) by default, granting only the narrow clipboard access the app actually uses.

    Changed

    • Faster startup and large-session performance: Monaco language providers and the developer-utility panels now load lazily, the console de-renders large output sessions (store-side collapse plus list windowing), and the project file-watcher refreshes only the directories that actually changed instead of re-walking the whole tree on every event.
    • Safer persisted data: The settings, license, and project stores are now schema-versioned with a migration registry, so upgrading across versions rehydrates saved state cleanly instead of dropping or corrupting it.

    Security

    • Branded filesystem capability ids: Root, watch, and relative-path tokens are now nominally distinct types, turning an accidental capability swap at the IPC boundary into a compile-time error rather than a runtime confusion.
    • Worker trust boundary: The JavaScript worker's AsyncFunction execution path is documented and regression-tested to confirm that Node-only globals (process, require) stay unreachable from user code.

    Fixed

    • macOS automatic updates: The update server now resolves the actual macOS release asset (the Lingua-darwin-<arch>-<version>.zip that electron-forge publishes), so packaged macOS builds receive updates again. Previously the server only matched a differently-ordered name, returned "no update," and silently stranded macOS users on the installed version. A regression test now locks the forge asset-name contract.

  2. v0.5.0

    Added

    • Signal-Slate redesign: A workspace-wide redesign pass that lands the new notebook surface, tightens the editor chrome, and folds in broad platform hardening across the renderer. The visual language carries forward from Signal-Slate v2 while the workspace layout, panels, and notebook entry points are rebuilt around it.
    • Notebook workspace: A literate, multi-cell notebook surface — ordered code and prose cells in one document — with one-step import of existing Jupyter .ipynb notebooks into native Lingua notebooks.
    • SQL and HTTP workspaces: A dedicated SQL workspace for ad-hoc querying and a full HTTP workspace for composing, sending, and inspecting requests, including import of Postman and Bruno collections.
    • Recipe practice library: A built-in library of runnable recipes for guided practice, with a run panel wired into the editor.
    • Run capsules: Portable, self-contained snapshots of a run (code plus inputs plus settings). Export a capsule, share it, and re-import it through paste, file picker, or drag-drop — all three load surfaces converge on a single shared parseRunCapsule validator. Includes a capsule browse overlay and an import-preview overlay.
    • Project bundle export and import: Pack an entire project into a portable .zip (isomorphic fflate, lingua-bundle.json manifest) and import it back through one zip-slip-guarded validation chokepoint with file-count, size, and zip-bomb caps. Export excludes node_modules/.git/dist/build; Mod+Alt+E, a FileTree button, and two command-palette actions drive it.
    • No-backend share links: Share a scratchpad as a self-contained link that gzips its payload into the URL fragment — no server round-trip, nothing leaves the device until you paste the link.
    • CLI companion: A lingua command-line companion for driving the toolchain outside the desktop shell.
    • Dependency management: A dependency detection panel plus install flows — JS packages and Python via Pyodide micropip on the web build.
    • Multi-file projects and cross-project replace: A multi-file project foundation with a find-and-replace workflow that spans every file in the project.
    • Utility pipelines: Chain developer utilities so the output of one tool feeds the next.
    • Ruby support: A hybrid Ruby runtime and language support, extending the multi-language matrix.
    • Rich media and rich console output: Inline chart rendering and a rich-media worker bridge for the console, Python rich-media parity, rich console payloads, and output source-mapping badges that trace each line back to its origin.
    • Onboarding choreography: A staged onboarding flow with status-notice priority so first-run guidance never collides with other notices.
    • Privacy and trust dashboard, language scorecard: A Settings dashboard surfacing privacy and trust posture, and a per-language support scorecard.
    • Git read-only layer: A read-only git surface with head refresh and reload notices, alongside a Settings cleanup that retired 11 Tier-S toggles.

    Changed

    • Console image paste: Paste images directly into the console.
    • Workflow canvas gating: The workflow canvas is now scoped to builder tabs on the web build.
    • Toolchain migration to pnpm: All three projects (desktop app, update-server, license-server) moved from npm to pnpm, with the operational docs swept to match. The worker projects bumped to TypeScript 6 and Vitest 4; inline charts now render on Vega 6 / Vega-Lite 6 / Vega-Embed 7.
    • Performance baselines: Web and desktop renderer footprint budgets rebaselined after the new features landed.

    Fixed

    • Update state across polling: Desktop now preserves downloaded-update state across the polling cycle instead of dropping it between checks.
    • Update-server caching: The GitHub API fetch cache is capped at 60 seconds and 204 responses are no longer cached, so update checks stop serving stale data.
    • Output source mapping: Tightened the gates that decide when an output line earns a source badge.
    • R2 release mirror: Pass --copy-props none so the mirror sync stops tripping over GetObjectTagging.

    Security

    • Patched tmp across the toolchain: Forced tmp 0.2.7 across the dev toolchain to clear the advisory.
    • Hardened GitHub Actions: Pinned every GitHub Actions step to a commit SHA and added least-privilege permissions and concurrency groups across the workflows.

  3. v0.4.0

    Added

    • Scratchpad excellence: A full nine-slice closeout for the JS / TS / Python Scratchpad workflow. Per-tab Run / Debug / Scratchpad mode toggle with the Run mode disabling auto-run for compiled languages. Smart auto-run completion gate so the runner waits for a coherent edit before firing. Pinned // @watch <expr> and # @watch <expr> annotations that survive across runs. Per-tab recent-runs replay with one-click rerun (Mod+Shift+H) and a Pro-gated <RecentRunsPill> in the result header (Free tier sees an upsell variant). Opt-in bare-expression auto-log mode for JS / TS with per-language Settings defaults and per-tab overrides. Pre-set stdin buffer with a dedicated bottom-panel Input tab consumed by prompt() / readline() (JS / TS) and input() (Python), with a "Used N of M lines" pill after the run. Per-language execution timeout presets (quick / normal / long / extended) with optional live mm:ss countdown pill and a // @timeout 60s magic-comment override. Compare-with-last-stable-run toggle in the result header with a multi-snapshot ring, pin/freeze support, three diff granularities (line / word / character), and inline + / − / ~ diff badges. Post-execute variable inspector panel mutually exclusive with Compare, surfacing typed previews for primitives, objects, arrays, Maps, Sets, errors, dates, and functions with Mod+Shift+I toggle, optional recursive expansion, and a case-insensitive name filter.
    • Explicit JS / TS runtime modes: Per-tab runtime selector with three implemented modes. Worker (default) keeps the existing fast Web-Worker scratchpad path. Browser Preview ships an iframe-sandboxed runtime with srcdoc CSP, runId-anchored postMessage bridge, parent-owned timeout, scoped multi-file preview seed, and an inspect-in-window button — useful for HTML / DOM / canvas demos. Desktop Node spawns a real node child process with a parent-owned SIGTERM→SIGKILL timeout, a NODE_TOOLCHAIN_KEYS env allowlist, automatic node_modules/ cwd resolution, package.json#type === 'module' detection, and a first-run trust notice before the first execution touches your filesystem and network.
    • Signal-Slate v2 chrome: New 36px header row above the toolbar with app mark, filename + unsaved dot, license badge, command-palette search, and settings gear. Toolbar trimmed of the seven right-side icons that duplicated the new header. Variables panel can now dock to a Variables tab in the bottom panel (Settings → Editor → Variable inspector surface) instead of the floating card. Toolbar chips (Lang / Runtime / Workflow) stay clickable even without an open tab and auto-create the right tab on demand so the toolbar can never deadlock the user out of a fresh session.
    • Rich-output foundation + //=> table directive: New RichOutputPayload type discriminator (superset of ScopeValue) covering map / set / date / promise / table / rawText payloads, with image and chart stubs reserved for the next slice. JS / TS runners attach a typed RichOutputTable payload when the user annotates an expression with //=> table — the inline pill upgrades from a JSON blob to a compact Table(N×M) — cols summary. Python's #=> table is recognised by the parser even though the Pyodide runner does not emit the payload yet. Foundation for the upcoming console-panel widget, popover surface, and chart / image / sandboxed-HTML rendering.
    • Debugger UX refinements: Breakpoint controls consolidated inside the debugger panel for a cleaner gutter, clearer affordances around the active debug session and the bottom-panel tab strip.
    • Public R2 release mirror: The release workflow now mirrors desktop installers, checksums, SBOM, and the third-party license report to a Cloudflare R2 bucket served at downloads.linguacode.dev. This is the public download surface for marketing-site CTAs while the source repository stays private. Includes a root manifest.json for programmatic discovery, a latest/ prefix that always points at the current release, a check:r2-mirror parity validator, and per-release evidence under output/r2-mirror-validation/<tag>.json. Setup runbook: docs/runbooks/r2-release-mirror-setup.md.
    • Telemetry export pipeline: New infrastructure path for periodic export of the closed-enum telemetry buffer to the update-server, enabling downstream analytics + observability without the renderer talking to a third-party service.

    Changed

    • Toolchain modernization: Vite 5 → 8 (Rolldown default), Vitest 3 → 4, ESLint 9 → 10, eslint-plugin-react-hooks 5 → 7, Electron 41 → 42, TypeScript 5 → 6, Pyodide 0.26 → 0.29, esbuild-wasm 0.27 → 0.28, Node engine moved to the 24.x family (any Node 24.X.Y release), not a fixed patch. Held @electron/fuses at 1.8.0 because @electron-forge/plugin-fuses 7.11.1 still pins ^1.0.0; documented in tests/build/depFreshness.test.ts. Three lint rules surfaced by the bumps (no-useless-assignment, preserve-caught-error, react-hooks/purity) re-promoted from warn to error after fixing every violation; four others (set-state-in-effect, immutability, exhaustive-deps, refs) intentionally stay at warn because the existing call sites are intentional useEffect patterns whose refactor would be a design change.
    • Toolbar layout: Toolbar no longer ships duplicated chrome (LicenseBadge, Open File, Quick Open, Palette, Snippets, Utilities, Console, Settings icons) — those moved to the Signal-Slate v2 header row. Left padding tightened to match.

    Fixed

    • Inline-pill overflow on long values: Stringified values longer than the editor's viewport used to paint past the right edge, wrap onto a second line, and overrun the gutter. Truncate at 80 characters with an ellipsis and surface the full text via the title attribute (visible on hover). The new //=> table directive side-steps this for array-of-objects entirely.
    • CompareResultsPanel purity: Relative-time strings inside the compare panel were derived from Date.now() inline in render, causing churn on every re-render. Anchored to the snapshot's capturedAt instead so the render stays pure (re-enables the react-hooks/purity rule at error).

  4. v0.3.0

    Added

    • Rich language intelligence for Python, Rust, and Go: Inline diagnostics, completions, hover documentation, and parameter hints. Rust uses rust-analyzer and Go uses gopls when installed locally; Python runs in-process. Web build keeps these languages in validate-only mode.
    • JS/TS debugger (preview): Click-to-toggle gutter breakpoints with Mod+Shift+B, a Debugger drawer with step controls, Settings entries to disable or clear all breakpoints, and TypeScript source-map composition so breakpoints stop at the line you authored.
    • Developer utilities productivity layer: Cmd/Ctrl+K launcher with fuzzy search, Cmd+Shift+C / Cmd+Alt+R to copy or replace utility output, per-tool history with persistence, drag-reorder favorites with full keyboard support, clipboard-on-focus consent, and Apply-from-input across 29 panels.
    • QR utility closeout: Drag-drop image decode, Copy-as-PNG, FG/BG color pickers with a WCAG-AA contrast guard, high-contrast preset, and SVG download.
    • Recovery experience: Safe-mode boot via ?safe-mode=1, automatic factory mode after repeated crashes, a Settings recovery section with five scoped resets, and a reveal-folder shortcut.
    • Profile backup and restore: Versioned profile export and restore with explicit conflict handling, replace confirmation, and machine-bound data exclusions.
    • Performance visibility: Release validation captures bundle size, runtime timings, and memory diagnostics before a build ships.
    • Release update feed gate: Desktop release validation now includes a draft-channel update-feed check with archived evidence.
    • Public-source readiness guidance: Release, security, auto-update, Cloudflare, performance, and source-available publication checks documented in one place.

    Changed

    • Desktop watcher reliability: Watcher diagnostics, opaque watch IDs, and degraded-event handling are documented and covered more directly.
    • Plugin hardening: Built-in plugin catalog and manifest validation reject malformed or prototype-derived ids more defensively.
    • Release validation: Performance budgets are part of the normal web-build quality gate.

    Fixed

    • Trust-boundary hardening: Filesystem capability checks and native runtime detection paths were tightened to keep host secrets out of subprocess environments.
    • Overlay accessibility: Modal overlays preserve dialog boundaries, contain focus, and restore focus after close.
    • Auto-update docs: Runbooks match the desktop updater's one-hour check interval.

    Security

    • Public-release secret scan: A gitleaks scan now runs as part of release readiness.

  5. v0.2.3

    Fixed

    • Web build stability: Lifted the Node heap limit for the web build job so release builds stop failing from memory pressure.

  6. v0.2.2

    Added

    • Public release hygiene: Added source-publication checklists, release security guidance, third-party notice reporting, and secret-scan configuration.
    • Offline Python runtime validation: Vendored Pyodide runtime assets with integrity checks so packaged desktop builds can prove Python runs without a CDN fallback.
    • Desktop release verification: Added production dependency audit, checksum verification, SBOM generation, and packaged macOS smoke coverage.

    Changed

    • Native execution trust boundary: Go and Rust execution now require explicit acknowledgement and use a filtered environment across detection and run paths.
    • Filesystem capability model: Desktop file access moved to root-token plus relative-path IPC contracts with protected-path enforcement.
    • Public web surfaces: Repo docs now point to linguacode.dev and app.linguacode.dev as the live public surfaces.

  7. v0.2.1

    Added

    • URL Parser (Developer Utilities): A new panel breaks any URL into scheme, origin, user, password, host, port, path, search, and fragment. Each component renders on its own card with a copy button, and the query string shows as a one-row-per-parameter table that preserves duplicate keys. The password cell stays masked until you explicitly reveal it.
    • String Case Converter (Developer Utilities): Type any phrase or identifier and see seven casings live: camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case, CONSTANT_CASE, Sentence case, and Title Case. The tokenizer understands acronyms (HTTPRequest → HTTP Request), letter-digit boundaries, and leaves CJK, emoji, and accented characters intact.
    • HTML Entity Encode / Decode (Developer Utilities): A new panel with four modes — Encode (minimal), Encode (named), Encode (numeric), and Decode. Named encoding covers Latin-1 Supplement plus common punctuation / symbol entities; codepoints outside the named table fall back to decimal numeric. Decode resolves named, decimal, and hex references and surfaces a small hint when any reference could not be resolved.
    • String Inspector (Developer Utilities): Paste any text to see its UTF-16 units, approximate graphemes, and UTF-8 byte length alongside a per-codepoint table that labels every character (printable, whitespace, control, invisible, BiDi). Warning cards call out zero-width characters, BiDi overrides, mixed-script words, and common Latin / Cyrillic homoglyphs — the usual suspects when a pasted string behaves mysteriously.
    • Diff Viewer granularity: The Diff Viewer now supports line-level, word-level, and character-level comparison via a selector at the top of the result. Word and character modes render inline so small edits pop visually, while the line summary keeps the familiar added / removed / unchanged counts.
    • More copy buttons across Developer Utilities: The UUID Generator, Timestamp Converter, JSON Formatter, and JWT Debugger now ship a dedicated copy affordance on every result — each generated UUID row, the four timestamp cards (Unix seconds, Unix milliseconds, ISO 8601, local time), the current JSON input, and the decoded JWT header and payload.
    • Backslash Escape / Unescape (Developer Utilities): Convert pasted strings for JavaScript, JSON, Python, or SQL-MySQL contexts, then unescape them back with clear inline errors when a sequence is incomplete or malformed.
    • Random String Generator (Developer Utilities): Generate one or many secure random strings with length, count, character-class toggles, and an option to exclude ambiguous characters such as 0, O, 1, and l.
    • Lorem Ipsum Generator (Developer Utilities): Generate placeholder copy as words, sentences, or paragraphs, with an optional classic opening and natural sentence rhythm for mockups, layout tests, and sample content.
    • Base64 Image Encode / Decode (Developer Utilities): Drop an image to create a data-URI, or paste a data-URI to preview it with MIME and size metadata. Oversized pasted payloads are rejected before preview so the app stays responsive.
    • JWT Debugger algorithm coverage: Verify and sign JWTs across the full HS, RS, ES, and PS families, including RS384 and RS512, without leaving the local renderer.
    • Beautify / Minify expansion (Developer Utilities): The panel now covers JSON, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SCSS, LESS, and XML. JavaScript minify uses a real ECMAScript minifier, while markup and stylesheet modes preserve raw text, strings, URLs, CDATA, and other sensitive content.
    • SVG to CSS converter (Developer Utilities): Paste SVG markup and copy either a Base64 or URL-encoded data-URI plus a ready-to-use CSS background-image block, with detected size hints when the SVG exposes safe dimensions.
    • Cron Parser (Developer Utilities): Explain cron expressions in plain language and list the next scheduled run times from your machine clock, with English and Spanish descriptions plus a configurable upcoming-runs count.
    • Hash Generator closeout (Developer Utilities): Adds MD5 via a lazy-loaded spark-md5 chunk, SHA-384, SHA-512, HMAC over the full SHA family, plus a drag-drop file input so local payloads up to 50 MB can be hashed without ever leaving the device.
    • HTML to JSX converter (Developer Utilities): Paste HTML markup and copy valid JSX with React-compatible attribute names, self-closing void elements, inline styles translated to object literals, HTML comments converted to JSX comments, and multi-root inputs optionally wrapped in a fragment.
    • cURL to Code converter (Developer Utilities): Paste common cURL commands and generate equivalent code for fetch (browser), undici (Node), Python requests, or Go net/http. Headers, methods, inline bodies, basic auth, and cookies all carry over; file-backed bodies get a clear error, and unknown flags surface as inline warnings instead of hard failures.
    • YAML and JSON converter (Developer Utilities): Convert between YAML and JSON with a 2 / 4-space indent toggle. A diagnostic flags when YAML comments are dropped at the JSON boundary; quoted-scalar # characters are correctly preserved.
    • JSON and CSV converter (Developer Utilities): RFC 4180-compliant CSV ↔ JSON-array converter with configurable delimiter (comma, tab, semicolon, pipe), header-row toggle, sparse-row support, and full quoted-field handling for embedded delimiters and newlines.
    • Markdown Preview (Developer Utilities): Render Markdown to a sanitized HTML preview locally — DOMPurify backstops the sanitization and remote <img src="…"> attributes are stripped before rendering so nothing leaves the renderer.
    • SQL Formatter (Developer Utilities): Format SQL with ANSI standard, PostgreSQL, or MySQL dialect rules. Configurable indent (2 / 4 spaces) and keyword case (preserve / UPPERCASE / lowercase).

  8. v0.2.0

    Added

    • License management: A new License section in Settings lets you paste a Lingua token to unlock your plan. The current tier is visible next to the input, and a FREE / PRO pill in the toolbar shows your active plan at a glance. Click the pill to jump straight to the License section.
    • Environment variables: A new Settings section where you can define environment variables at the workspace or per-project level. Values stay on your machine and flow to desktop runners when you execute a file.
    • Expanded language catalog: Ruby, Java, Kotlin, Scala, Swift, C, and C++ files now open with proper syntax highlighting, file-extension detection, and a clear indicator in the file tree when they aren't runnable yet.
    • Privacy controls: A first-launch prompt asks whether you want to share anonymous usage signals before anything leaves your machine, and Settings → Privacy lets you change your mind at any time. Telemetry and crash reporting are off until you opt in, and never include your code or file paths.
    • About and What's New: Settings now ships a dedicated About panel with version and release links, plus a What's New overlay that surfaces these release notes without leaving the app.
    • Editable keyboard shortcuts: Rebind any built-in shortcut from the Keyboard Shortcuts overlay. Conflicts are detected and refused with a helpful notice, per-row and global reset restore the defaults, and your changes persist across sessions. Escape stays reserved so you can always close an overlay.
    • Keyboard shortcut presets: Switch between "Default (Lingua)", "Sublime Text-inspired", and "Classic IDE (JetBrains-style)" bundles in one click. Any manual edit afterwards flips the selector back to Default so the UI always reflects the truth.
    • Export and import your keymap: Save your personalised shortcuts to a JSON file or import one from another install. The file is validated for shape, version, and conflict-free combos before it is applied.
    • Theme packs: Settings → Appearance adds a theme pack selector. Pick "Solarized Daylight" for warm paper light mode, "Nord Night" for a calm blue-grey dark mode, or stay on the Lingua default. A pack swaps appearance, typography, and layout in one move.
    • Guided tour on-startup toggle: Every step of the guided tour now has a "Don't show this tour on startup" checkbox. A matching switch lives in Settings → About for anyone who wants to replay or silence the tour on demand.
    • Execution history everywhere: A new clock icon in the console toolbar opens a popover with your most recent runs — language, duration, and relative time — and the Command Palette surfaces the same list so you can re-run a recent file from the keyboard. Clear the history any time.
    • Number Base Converter (Developer Utilities): Convert integers between binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, or any custom base from 2 to 36. 0x, 0o, and 0b prefixes are honoured and underscores work as digit separators.
    • UUID v7 and ULID (Developer Utilities): Generate modern time-ordered identifiers alongside the classic UUID v4. A new decoder surfaces the embedded timestamp from any UUID v7 or ULID you paste.
    • Beautify / Minify panel (Developer Utilities): Pretty-print or compact JSON and JavaScript side-by-side. JSON round-trips through a parse and restringify; JavaScript gets an honest whitespace-only minifier with a clearly labelled hint.
    • Quick copy in Developer Utilities: Every result field in Developer Utilities — hex/RGB/HSL colors, hashes, Base64 output, URL encode/decode, Beautify / Minify results — now has a small copy icon that writes the value to the clipboard with a brief confirmation.
    • Format on save for Python: Python files now run through ruff (falling back to black) when format-on-save is enabled, alongside the existing support for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, CSS, Go, and Rust.
    • Support for infrastructure files: Dockerfile, Containerfile, Makefile, .gitignore, .dockerignore, .npmignore, .editorconfig, and shell scripts (.sh, .bash, .zsh, plus common shell dotfiles) now open with proper syntax highlighting.
    • Inline validators with friendly diagnostics: Running a JSON, YAML, .env, CSV, .editorconfig, Dockerfile, Makefile, .gitignore, or shell script file now surfaces lightweight warnings inline — duplicate .gitignore patterns, space-indented Makefile recipes, missing Dockerfile FROM or deprecated MAINTAINER, unknown EditorConfig keys, missing shebangs in shell scripts, and more.

    Changed

    • Dark / Light toggle: Picking a shell theme always takes effect now. Previously the "match shell to editor theme" option could quietly override your choice.
    • Clearer license errors: Invalid tokens surface a tier-specific explanation — "malformed token", "signature does not match", "expired", "clock is off", and so on — rather than a generic fallback.
    • Color Converter picker: The colour picker row now reads as a proper control, with a Palette icon and a hint line instead of an anonymous square.

    Fixed

    • Shortcut row spacing: Keyboard Shortcuts rows keep clear breathing room between the combo and the Edit / Reset buttons in every language, including Spanish.

  9. v0.1.0

    Added

    • Desktop code runner foundation: Electron Forge + Vite + React 19 shell with Monaco editor, project explorer, command palette, quick open, snippets, settings, and a structured console panel.
    • Language execution backends: JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Python, and Rust execution paths, with browser support for JS/TS/Python and desktop-only native toolchain flows for Go/Rust.
    • Inline execution feedback: Result panel, per-line inline output, runtime markers, execution timing, and magic-comment support for dynamic languages.
    • Project and file workflows: Open folder, recent projects, loose-file editing, save/save-as, rename, delete, duplicate tab, and session restore support.
    • Monaco authoring support: Runtime-aligned JavaScript/TypeScript diagnostics, file-extension language detection, and immediate completion providers for Go, Python, Rust, and Lua.
    • Localization and docs: English/Spanish UI, i18n validation tooling, architecture docs, renderer reference docs, and contributor guidance for the renderer surface.
    • Packaging and update infrastructure: Desktop updater foundation, packaging metadata hardening, protocol registration, release checksums, and manual GitHub release workflows.

    Changed

    • Renderer architecture: Split oversized modules into focused feature folders for editor, file tree, command palette, settings, and project tree helpers.
    • Shell behavior: Responsive sidebar drawer, persistent resizable layouts, safer overlays over Electron drag regions, and cleaner settings/about organization.
    • Release and delivery model: CI now validates build quality; publish/deploy operations are explicitly manual.

    Fixed

    • Restored Go desktop execution after IPC regressions.
    • Hardened file-system IPC, rename handling, and trusted renderer navigation.
    • Fixed Monaco initialization crashes and synchronized diagnostics with execution output.
    • Corrected theme bootstrap to prevent shell flash on load.
    • Fixed Electron overlay interaction issues caused by draggable titlebar regions.

    Documentation

    • Added architecture guidance for project lifecycle, file-system IPC, and renderer ownership boundaries.
    • Added release, CI, and renderer maintenance documentation for future contributors.
