🚀 New Features

• Multi-device & multi-source support: Projects can now define multiple data sources, each with its own bus type, connection settings, and frame configuration. CSV and MDF4 export/playback fully support multi-source data. The console handles multi-device output. Driver switch buttons are disabled in multi-device mode to prevent misconfiguration. Stable device identifiers ensure reliable cross-platform device matching.
• ImageView widget for camera/image telemetry: New widget for streaming embedded camera feeds and image data. Supports BMP, WebP, and other formats with auto-detection and hexadecimal delimiters. Includes zoom/pan controls, image export, visual filters (grayscale, invert, etc.), and a toolbar. Works with image-only projects (no datasets required). VT-100/ANSI console controls are automatically disabled when an image widget is active.
• New drivers (Pro):
• USB driver: Experimental raw USB support via libusb (built as a static library).
• HID driver: HID device support via bundled hidapi 0.14.0, with cached usage info and a 2-second enumeration timer.
• Process I/O driver: Launch external processes or connect via named pipes, with native platform pipe APIs replacing QFile-based I/O.
• Redesigned Preferences dialog: Settings migrated to C++ QSettings for better performance. New options for widget font size. Smart auto-precision replaces manual precision setting.
• Aether themes: New set of visual themes for the application.
• Font upgrade: Replaced JetBrains Mono with Geist Mono for improved readability.
• Security hardening: CET shadow stack on Windows and branch protection on ARM64.
• Per-project widget settings: Widget layout and settings are now stored per-project, with a resizable setup pane and new PaneSplitter in the Project Editor.
• UI Session Registry & window API: New UISessionRegistry and ui.window.* API handlers for programmatic window management.
• In-app Help Center: Fully searchable documentation built right into the app, with Mermaid.js diagrams and a WebEngine-based markdown renderer. The GitHub Wiki has been deprecated. All documentation now lives in the Help Center, available directly in the app or online at serial-studio.com/help. Content is automatically kept up to date.

• Examples Browser: Browse, search, and open example projects directly from the app. Examples are categorized by difficulty and lazy-loaded for fast startup. Double-clicking an .ssproj file now opens it directly in Serial Studio.

• Project Editor diagram view: The Project Editor now features an interactive data flow diagram with bezier curves, arrowheads, and device cards — giving you a visual overview of your project's source/device topology.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Licensing crash fix: Prevented SIGABRT from dialog-in-constructor during static initialization.
• Windows build fixes: Corrected Windows SDK header include order across multiple files.
• Console export compilation: Fixed non-commercial build compilation error for console export (thanks @Misaka0x2730, [#349]).
• TableDelegate warning: Prevented undefined QUrl warning for parameterIcon.
• CMake/zlib fix: Exposed ZLIB FindPackage variables so QuaZip can find static zlib on Windows.

🏗️ Architecture & Refactoring

• IO layer rewrite: Replaced monolithic IO::Manager with ConnectionManager + DeviceManager + AppState, enabling clean multi-device support with stable device identifiers.
• ProjectModel/ProjectEditor split: Separated pure data model from editor controller, fixing several crashes.
• FrameParser split: Separated headless singleton from JsCodeEditor GUI component.
• Qt 6.10.2: Bumped minimum Qt version.

📖 Documentation

• Wiki deprecated: The GitHub Wiki is no longer maintained. All documentation has been consolidated into the in-app Help Center, which is also accessible at serial-studio.com/help. Documentation is automatically kept up to date with each release.
• New examples: Dual Drone and Camera Telemetry example projects.
