Changelog

All notable changes to Vangard Studio are documented here.

[Unreleased]

[1.1.0]

Added

  • NEW: Editor tabs can now be popped out into detached windows — drag a tab off the tab bar, or use the pop-out affordance; all 16 tab types (editors, canvases, composers, panels) are poppable, each remembering its own window size/position
  • NEW: Popout windows respond to native menu commands (Cmd+W, Save All, etc.) the same as the main window
  • NEW: WASD/QE keyboard pan-zoom for the Project/Flow/Choices canvases, scoped to hover/focus so it doesn't fight typing elsewhere

Fixed

  • FIXED: WASD/QE canvas shortcuts no longer swallow those letters when typing in the Monaco editor
  • FIXED: Popout edits are now flushed before the main-window close cascade, and several correctness/race/accessibility bugs found in review of the popout-tabs feature were addressed
  • FIXED: Autocomplete no longer dumps the full keyword/character/label/variable suggestion list while typing inside a quoted string (dialogue text, filenames, etc.) — trigger characters like space were bypassing Monaco's string-suppression setting
  • FIXED: Drag-a-tab-off-the-strip pop-out no longer depends on dataTransfer.dropEffect's incidental default; a recognized drop target now sets an explicit flag so future drop targets can't silently break or misfire the pop-out (#219)

Changed

  • Deduplicated the window-state persistence read/write idiom shared by the main-window and popout-window state files in electron.js (#219)

[1.0.0]

Added

  • NEW: Detect used-but-undefined variables (interpolation and if/elif/while conditions) with editor squiggle, Diagnostics warning, and Statistics count
  • NEW: Vangard Studio is now fully rebranded from Ren'IDE — UI, installer, project templates, LICENSE, and documentation all reflect the new name and branding
  • NEW: Full documentation website (VitePress, published to GitHub Pages) replacing the old PDF-based user guide — a complete Guide, Reference, and Architecture section, plus a redesigned Welcome page
  • NEW: Script Statistics: unreachable-label detection via canvas BFS, surfaced directly in the Stats panel
  • NEW: Code Snippets: JSON schema validation, snippet pack import/export, and grid UX improvements
  • NEW: Keyboard Shortcuts help panel is now fully implemented and discoverable from the toolbar

Fixed

  • FIXED: N, G, and Delete canvas keyboard shortcuts now actually work (were documented but not implemented)
  • FIXED: Search panel's "Replace All" now performs the replacement (was previously a no-op)
  • FIXED: Running the game with no Ren'Py SDK path configured now opens the Configure Ren'Py modal instead of failing silently
  • FIXED: Completed milestones are now correctly restored when reopening a project

Accessibility

  • FIXED: aria-labels added to all remaining icon-only toolbar and color-picker buttons
  • FIXED: Modal focus/ARIA wiring corrected and choice-pill colors adjusted to meet WCAG AA contrast

Removed

  • Removed the first-launch "Import settings from Ren'IDE?" migration prompt added during the rebrand — 1.0.0 starts fresh rather than importing settings from the pre-1.0 beta
  • Removed the Screen Layout Composer's UI entry points (introduced in 0.7.0) — the underlying types and a read-only screen preview remain in the codebase but are not reachable from the app in this release; the Screens tab now shows a plain read-only list of screen definitions with jump-to-source only

Testing

  • E2E smoke suite expanded from 5 to 97 tests covering all major features; installer smoke tests now run on Windows, macOS, and Linux in CI
  • Thousands of new unit tests added across components, hooks, and libraries, closing prior coverage gaps

Internal

  • App.tsx (previously ~5,300 lines) modularized into focused hooks and a dual-pane context — project I/O, canvas layout, tab lifecycle, asset management, drafting artifacts, and more, each independently testable
  • All TypeScript strict-mode errors (144) and lint warnings (12) resolved

[0.9.0]

Added

  • NEW: E2E smoke test suite (Playwright + Electron) — 5 automated smoke tests run in CI before every release build
  • NEW: Coverage gate in CI — per-file statement thresholds enforced on key modules (storyCanvasLayout, useRenpyAnalysis, MarkdownPreviewView, ipcSecurity)
  • NEW: Synthwave editor theme
  • NEW: Keyboard Shortcuts button in toolbar — the shortcuts reference is now discoverable without knowing Ctrl+/
  • NEW: RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md — go/no-go gate for production releases
  • NEW: SUPPORT.md — post-release support runbook with log paths, known first-launch issues, and rollback guidance

Security

  • FIXED: Project-root path guard added to all fs:* IPC handlers — prevents path traversal outside the open project directory

Accessibility

  • FIXED: role="dialog" and aria-modal now applied to the correct (inner content) element across all 8 modal dialogs — screen readers no longer announce the backdrop overlay as the dialog

Fixed

  • Stale planning and implementation summary files removed from repository

[0.8.3]

Added

  • NEW: Centralized logging system using electron-log - Logs persist to disk for bug reports and debugging (#137)
  • NEW: Help → Show Logs menu item - Opens log directory for easy access to diagnostic logs

Security

  • FIXED: XSS vulnerability in Markdown preview - Added DOMPurify sanitization to prevent potential script injection through user-controlled Markdown files (#134)

Fixed

  • FIXED: Memory leak in CanvasNodeContextMenu - Event listeners no longer re-register on every prop change, preventing memory leaks during canvas interactions (#138)

Changed

  • IMPROVED: Console logging replaced with structured file-based logging system for better debugging and support

Accessibility

  • IMPROVED: GoToLabelModal now uses useModalAccessibility hook for proper focus management and ESC handling (#140)
  • IMPROVED: TranslationDashboard generate modal now uses useModalAccessibility hook for better keyboard accessibility (#140)

[0.8.0]

Added

  • Three canvases for story structure, route flow, and player choice flow
  • Monaco editor with split panes, Ren'Py syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and snippets
  • Story Elements tools for characters, variables, screens, assets, composers, snippets, menu templates, and colors
  • Diagnostics, stats, and translation dashboard tabs
  • Project Explorer actions for create, rename, delete, refresh, and clipboard workflows
  • Project search and replace with regex and whole-word support
  • Markdown preview for .md files
  • Run Project and Warp to Label launch support
  • Drafting Mode for placeholder assets during development
  • First-run tutorial, bundled user guide, keyboard shortcuts help, and auto-updater support
  • External file change detection so outside edits are noticed automatically

Improved

  • Go-to-label navigation is available from the canvases and the global Ctrl+G palette
  • Ctrl+W closes the active tab instead of quitting the app
  • The Stats tab includes live project performance metrics
  • The File menu exposes explorer actions for keyboard-first workflows
  • Translation generation is available through the configured Ren'Py SDK

Removed

  • AI story generation and its related settings

[0.7.0]

Highlights

  • Introduced the ImageMap Composer
  • Introduced the Screen Layout Composer
  • Added the diagnostics panel and the stats dashboard
  • Added user snippets and markdown preview
  • Expanded accessibility, performance, and project tooling

[0.6.0]
