[24.02.2026] 2.0.8
- Added a universal toolbox `toolbox_Generic.xml` for generic MicroPython devices (not tied to specific hardware)
- Added new processor toolboxes for ESP32C6 (`toolbox_ESP32C6.xml`) and RP2350 (`toolbox_RP2350.xml`)
- Added ADC voltage measurement blocks for ESP32 boards in millivolts (mV) and volts (V)

[22.02.2026] 2.0.7
- USB init (`sendFile(..., init=true)`) no longer overwrites existing `run_code()` and `stop_code()`
- Definitions are created only when `run_code` is missing (`try: run_code` / `except NameError`), so custom logic in `boot.py` stays intact
- Extended runtime diagnostics for `idecode`: colored error header, exception type, error message, and a short hint for common mistakes
- Full traceback is printed via `sys.print_exception(e)`, so users can see the exact failing location in `idecode`
- `MemoryError` now has a dedicated low-RAM message, and `gc.collect()` is called before execution and after failure
- Added Blockly workspace screenshot export to PNG (white background, tight crop)
- Added robust full-workspace capture using a temporary offscreen workspace (including blocks outside viewport)
- Added automatic PNG screenshot generation for all blocks in the active toolbox (console callable API)
- Fixed toolbox XML block extraction so all blocks in current configuration/filters are processed
- Improved bulk screenshot performance (fast visible mode, configurable scale/settle/pause parameters)
- Added i18n texts/messages for screenshot features (cs/en)
- Fixed encoding issues after edits and restored `index.html` to UTF-8 without BOM

[20.02.2026] 2.0.6
- Added a new binary BLE file upload protocol (MAGIC header, SEQ, LEN, CRC8)
- Added windowed packet confirmation (window ACK N=4) for higher throughput with reliable delivery
- Implemented robust transfer recovery (retry, NAK resync, status request for expected SEQ)
- Added a control frame for clean transfer abort (CANCEL) and deterministic return to stable REPL state
- Binary upload now stops running user code first (Ctrl+C) to prevent runtime collisions during transfer
- Added BLE Config negotiation (MTU/chunk) and automatic capability detection for the new protocol
- Added automatic fallback to legacy REPL upload when config/capability is missing or FW is older
- Improved RX parsing to filter BLE Config even when it appears in the middle of a buffer without breaking terminal formatting
- Hardened BLE connect flow with GATT step timeouts and strict cleanup on errors so reconnect works reliably

[16.02.2026] 2.0.5
- Added a Bluetooth Settings dialog in the menu (replacing Workspace screenshot entry)
- Added multilingual dialog texts (Czech/English)
- Enable Bluetooth switch now enables/disables the device name input
- Device name validation added: 3 to 8 characters, basic ASCII only
- Opening the dialog now stops the running program (Ctrl+C) and pre-fills from /cfg/ble_name.cfg
- If loaded name is invalid, Bluetooth stays enabled and the name field remains empty
- Save writes the name to /cfg/ble_name.cfg; disabling Bluetooth removes the file via try/except
- Fixed dialog closing via both Cancel button and top close icon, including stale Swal container cleanup
- REPL collisions during dialog read/save were handled and Service Worker update flow was hardened

[25.01.2026] 2.0.4
- Theme toggle (light/dark) and language selection in menu, saved to localStorage
- I18N packs and Blockly locale loading stabilized for UI/toolbox translations
- Share links: auto-load project by URL code after IDE init
- File Manager toolbar made responsive with single-row layout and adaptive buttons
- Service worker update flow improved (versioned registration, auto-activate, reload)
- Optional startup flags: force toolbox + lock processor dropdown; hide File Manager icon
- Installer: ESP8266 flash header params + flashSize support to prevent bootloops
- Installer: binary library upload (.mpy) via arrayBuffer to keep correct size

[14.01.2026] 2.0.3
- Added dark mode with switch in menu and saving to localStorage
