All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

• Progress bar now updates in real-time! This was the major fix everyone was waiting for.
• Read progress from stderr where minipro actually outputs it (not stdout)
• Implemented character-by-character reading with select() multiplexing
• Proper ANSI escape sequence stripping (handles [K codes)
• Debug output now actually appears when Debug Mode is enabled

• Use select.select() on Linux/macOS for efficient stream reading
• Fallback to threading approach on Windows
• Character-by-character reading catches all \r updates
• Separate stdout/stderr streams instead of combining them

• Debug Mode checkbox for troubleshooting progress parsing
• Purple console output for debug messages
• Improved progress parsing with more patterns

• Attempted unbuffered output (partial solution)
• Enhanced progress detection algorithms

• Strip ANSI escape sequences before parsing
• Better operation detection (specific patterns)
• Improved completion detection

• Erase button directly in Read/Write tab (no more tab switching!)
• Persistent settings with QSettings
  • Remembers last device selection
  • Remembers file paths (read/write files)
  • Remembers last directory for file browser
  • Remembers window geometry (position and size)
  • Remembers memory type and file format selections
• Settings automatically save on close and restore on launch

• Improved workflow: Erase → Write → Verify all in one tab

• Device list loading now includes devices without @ package suffix (e.g., GAL16V8D)
• Improved device name parsing from minipro output

• GAL/PAL devices to common device list (GAL16V8, GAL16V8D, GAL20V8, GAL22V10, etc.)

• Searchable device dropdown with autocomplete
• Pre-loaded 40+ common devices (EEPROM, EPROM, SPI Flash, GAL/PAL, MCUs, Logic ICs)
• "Load Device List" button for on-demand loading of all 13,000+ devices
• Background device list loading (non-blocking UI)
• Smart filtering (type to search, matches anywhere in device name)

• Replaced separate search field and "List All" button with single dropdown
• Cleaner device selection interface
• No more console spam from device listings

• Separate device search text box
• "Search" button
• "List All Devices" button
• Duplicate "Selected Device" field

• Real-time progress bar showing operation progress
• Progress parsing from minipro output
• Auto-hide progress bar after completion (2-second delay)
• Progress label showing current operation and percentage

• Smart parsing of minipro output for progress indicators
• Pattern matching for percentages, byte counts, addresses
• Operation detection (Reading, Writing, Verifying, Erasing)
• Completion detection

• QColor TypeError in console output (now uses QColor objects instead of strings)
• Wayland platform warning on Linux (force XCB backend)

• Added QColor import to fix setTextColor() calls
• Set QT_QPA_PLATFORM environment variable
