This release brings colored part connections (green, red, and yellow) showing validation state, advanced part search with sorting and pagination, smarter save awareness, and a round of quality-of-life fixes.

New Features

• Faster, Consistent Pagination: Smooth, paging for the ProtoPart Library (left side panel) giving you fast part fetching from our database.

• Save Awareness (Dirty-State Tracking): The app now detects unsaved changes and surfaces clear save indicators to prevent data loss.

• DRC Visual Clarity: Harness edges use clear colors (red, yellow, green) to reflect design rule status, giving instant feedback while wiring.

Bug Fixes

• Reliable Board Saves: Fixed issues that could prevent board state from saving correctly in some cases.

• Search Stability: Improved resilience when indexes are unavailable; searches degrade gracefully instead of failing.

• Pagination for Signed-In Users: Resolved incorrect or inconsistent page results when authenticated.

• Smoother Browsing: Reduced flicker and intermittent errors when loading part lists via better caching.

• Startup Reliability: Fixed analytics initialization on unsupported browsers to avoid startup errors.

We recently migrated from Vite to a fullstack Next.JS project. This was a big move, but has already resulted in accelerated development! We have also added 2 developers to our team and hope to move through our roadmap quickly.

Next Features to Expect:

• More Verbose Part Connections - Visualize every wire and configure your design purely on the canvas (no need to use our current inspector which is more suitable for advanced users)

• An easier starting process - Protoboard will guide users in a more friendly way to build their project from 0 to prototype.

• Bill of Materials - Export your parts list with links on where to purchase each part.

• Our Parts Library is Moving to GitHub! Soon, you will be able to view the source code for every part in our library and add your own to our open-source repository: ProtoPart/protoparts at main · Delta-Robotics-Inc/ProtoPart
