Changelog

Fixed

• The header no longer shows "Editor" twice. The site name already links to the editor, so the separate Editor link is gone.

Changed

• The source code link points to the renamed repository, github.com/puuid-com/editor.

Changed

• The site is now called Editor and lives at editor.puuid.com. Links to xml.puuid.com, including share links, redirect to the new address.
• Backup files are named editor-backup-<date>.json. Older backups still restore.

Added

• Plain text files (.txt, .text, .log). They open as written, with no highlighting, structure panel or XML errors. A .txt file of pipe-delimited records still opens as fixed-width.
• "New text file" in the command menu and on the welcome screen, and "Plain text" in the file type menu.

Added

• Markdown files (.md, .markdown). The side panel shows a live preview that follows the editor as you type and scroll, with highlighted code blocks, tables, task lists and Mermaid diagrams.
• "New Markdown file" in the command menu and on the welcome screen. Pasting text that starts with a # heading into an empty file makes it Markdown.

Added

• ${…} variables also accept a name wrapped in dollars, such as ${$stuff$}. They're highlighted, filled from the profile and no longer flagged as invalid. Switching to <<…>> or {{…}} leaves them as written.

Changed

• Clicking a pinned tag's name now jumps to it in the editor. When it appears more than once, each click moves to the next one, wrapping back to the first.
• Only the tag icon next to a pinned tag's name copies the name now.

Changed

• Removed the starter template's site setup script, which would have overwritten this site's name and address.

Changed

• Moved the ZPL tag helpers in with the rest of the ZPL code. Nothing visible changes.

Changed

• Added a check for unused files, exports and dependencies to the release checks and CI, and brought the project layout in the README up to date.

Changed

• Simplified how the editor receives its profile's settings. Nothing visible changes.

Changed

• Split the command menu's list of actions into one part per group so it is easier to change. Nothing visible changes.

Changed

• Split the ZPL label preview into smaller parts so it is easier to change. Nothing visible changes.

Changed

• Problems found in XML and JSON files, in the editor and the structure panel, are now written in French when the site is in French, instead of always in English.

Changed

• Simplified how file types are read from file names. Nothing visible changes.

Changed

• Removed seven translations no screen used any more.

Fixed

• A base64 label opened by dropping it or through the file picker on browsers without disk access now picks its profile from the decoded label, as it already did when opened from disk.

Changed

• Removed editor state nothing read: a leftover mobile view switch and the cursor column. The ZPL tools' store is now named for what it holds, so it no longer shares a name with the main editor's.

Changed

• Side-by-side panes are stored only in their current form. A browser tab still holding the layout saved before panes had their own tabs reopens with every file in one pane.

Changed

• Removed unused code: the parts of the vendored showcase kit the About page never used (brand logos, phone frames, charts and most motion components), an unused dev dependency, and exports nothing imported. Nothing visible changes.

Changed

• First stable release. Everything up to 0.190.0 is now version 1.0, and from here on stored data, share links and file formats only break with a new major version.

Changed

• A repeated pinned tag's occurrences are now labelled by the nearest repeated element above them, such as ShipmentLine[2] or Carton[1]/[...], even when they sit at different depths. Containers like ShipmentLines and Cartons are left out unless they're needed to tell occurrences apart.

Changed

• The labels on a repeated pinned tag's occurrences now show only where their paths differ, such as ShipmentLine[1] and ShipmentLine[2], without the parents they all share. When shared layers sit between that and the tag, the label ends with [...].
• In JSON, an occurrence inside an array is labelled with the array's key and index, such as ShipmentLines[0], instead of a bare 0.

Changed

• A pinned tag that appears more than once lists every occurrence under it again, each on a guide line with its own editable value and labelled with its parent tag (such as Line[2]), so you see where each value sits. The one under the cursor is in bold; click a label to move the cursor there.

Changed

• The flat file records table draws a border around every cell, so columns and rows are easier to follow.

Changed

• Flat files no longer show the pinned fields panel, and their records table always sits under the code, even with a single wide pane.

Changed

• Pinned tags that appear more than once are back to a single field with a count beside it, as before 0.183.0. The occurrence list and its popover are gone.

Changed

• A pinned tag that appears more than once now lists every occurrence right in the pinned fields, each with its own editable value, its position and its parent tag, instead of hiding them behind a menu. Past five, the rest fold behind "Show all". Click an occurrence's label to move the cursor to it.

Added

• When a pinned tag appears more than once, the count beside its field now shows which one you're editing (such as 2/3). Click it to list every occurrence with its position, parent tag and value, and pick one to edit it.

Changed

• Notices such as "Copied to clipboard" now have their own place in the bottom bar, in the free space beside the file's actions, instead of floating over the buttons.

Changed

• Highlights and profiles in the bottom bar are now one button each. The Highlights button opens every colour, the ones with no match in the file, and the form to add one. The profile button shows the current profile and opens a menu to switch, edit or create one.

Changed

• The bottom bar no longer overflows with many highlight colours or profiles. It shows the three highlight colours with the most matches and the four profiles holding the most files (always including the current one); the rest sit behind a +N button.

Changed

• Clicking anywhere on a pinned tag now copies its name. Jumping between its matches moves to the tag's right-click menu (Next match, Previous match).

Changed

• A pinned tag's copy-name icon now sits at the start of the tag, so the icons line up down the pinned list.

Changed

• The button that copies a pinned tag's name now sits inside the tag itself, in the tag's highlight colour, instead of next to the value's copy button.

Changed

• The second copy button on a pinned tag now copies the tag name itself, such as SenderCode, instead of a {{SenderCode}} variable. Its icon is now a tag.

Changed

• TASKS.md now lists ten ranked feature proposals, each with what it does, why it matters, the model and effort to build it, and its pros and cons. The earlier follow-up list is replaced.

Fixed

• The ZPL preview centers the label itself, not the label and its caption together, so it no longer sits higher than the middle of the pane.

Fixed

• The ZPL label preview is now truly centered vertically: the room kept for the zoom controls no longer pushes the label up.

Changed

• The ZPL label preview is centered vertically in its pane instead of sitting at the top.

Changed

• The ZPL preview's status pill no longer shows "1 label" or "No problems": each label's caption already gives the count, and the pill now appears only for problems, truncated renders or compare mismatches.

Changed

• Remove unused editor commands, obsolete tab-ordering code, and unused UI components and dependencies.
• Share the download helper between document, backup, and label exports to keep file handling consistent.

Changed

• With side-by-side panes, the split button now stays on the first pane and the close-pane button shows only on the last one, so each sits in one fixed place.

Added

• Side-by-side panes now have a close button in their tab row, so going back to one pane is a single click. Its tabs move to the pane beside it; no file is closed.
• Join all panes, from a pane's ⋯ menu, a tab's right-click menu or the command menu, puts every tab back in one pane.

Changed

• "Hide pane" is now called "Close pane".

Fixed

• In a ZPL pane with the label preview on top, the active tab now has the preview's grey instead of the editor's colour, so it joins the preview instead of standing out as a dark notch.

Added

• Word wrap: long lines can now wrap to fit the editor instead of scrolling sideways. Turn it on or off with the wrap button in the bottom bar, the command menu or ⌥Z. The choice applies to every file and is remembered.

Fixed

• Clicking a tab after typing no longer draws an outline around it. The outline now shows only when you move between tabs with the keyboard.

Fixed

• Clicking a tab no longer leaves a box around its name after you press a key. The click now puts the cursor in that file's editor, as VS Code does.
• When you move between tabs with the keyboard, the focus outline now goes around the whole tab.

Changed

• New tab look: the active tab is a card joined to the editor below it, and the other tabs sit flat on a grey band, split by hairlines. File icons are gone.
• A tab's profile shows as a coloured dot before its name instead of tinting the name.
• The split button sits only on the rightmost pane instead of on every pane.
• When tabs don't fit, the strip fades at the edge with more tabs instead of showing scroll arrows. Scroll it with the wheel or open the full list.
• The dot on a file with unsaved changes takes the close button's place and turns into it on hover.

Changed

• ZPL panes have one toolbar instead of six. Label settings, a Download menu (PDF, PNG, ZPL and the copy actions) and the pane's ⋯ menu now sit in the tab row.
• Compare labels and command explanations moved to the pane's ⋯ menu. While you compare, a close button on the comparison bar turns it off.
• The label count, problems and zoom controls float over the preview instead of taking a row of their own.
• "Rendered by Labelary" and Sync preview zoom moved to the bottom bar. Sync shows only when more than one ZPL file is open.

Changed

• When a ZPL pane is stacked, the label preview now sits above the code instead of below it.

Fixed

• Sync preview zoom and the comparison picker are disabled when only one ZPL file is open, since there is nothing to sync or compare with.

Fixed

• A ZPL file alone in a wide window now shows its code and label preview side by side instead of stacked.

Changed

• Each editor pane now owns its tabs and controls in a single row, replacing the global file strip and duplicate filename headers.
• Move tabs between panes by dragging or using the tab menu. Closing a pane keeps its files open in a neighboring pane.
• Keep tab switching and new files in the focused pane, restore pane groups on reload, and show all files in one strip on narrow screens.

Added

• Open up to four editable XML, JSON, fixed-width, SQL and ZPL files side by side, with independent editor history and profiles.
• Edit ZPL labels with live Labelary previews, command explanations, lint warnings, per-file dimensions and print density, zoom and visual comparisons.
• Export labels as ZPL, PNG, ZIP or PDF, copy base64, and share compressed label links. Label settings are included in workspace backups and shared files.

Changed

• Base64 label fields open beside their source document in this workspace. Existing ZPL URL parameters and XML share links remain supported.
• Explain that rendering ZPL previews and image exports sends label content to Labelary.

Fixed

• "Change type" is back to the four types (XML, JSON, fixed-width and SQL) instead of a long list of extensions.
• "Change type" now works on empty files too, from the command menu and the tab menu, and the tab shows the new extension. Content pasted afterwards keeps that type unless it clearly reads as another.

Changed

• "Change type" in the command menu now lists every extension for each type, such as .xsd, .config or .geojson, so you can change a file's type and extension in one step. Search for an extension to jump to it.

Changed

• The editor's dialogs, tab strip, welcome screen and profile storage code are split into smaller modules, with no change in behaviour.

Fixed

• The open dialog lists SQL files (.sql, .ddl, .dml) and notebooks (.ipynb) with the other types it reads.
• Closing the last tab clears the bottom bar instead of leaving the closed file's highlights, actions and settings there.
• Pinned tags with a namespace prefix, such as inv:ID, show their pin in the structure tree.
• Copying says so when the browser refuses the clipboard, instead of reporting it copied.
• File and backup downloads no longer risk being cancelled in Firefox and Safari, and a fixed-width file without an extension downloads as .txt.
• Search results and link previews point to xml.puuid.com instead of localhost, in the sitemap, robots.txt and page links.
• When a profile change can't be saved, a new profile's dialog closes instead of offering to create it a second time.
• The command menu and the theme toggle keep working when the browser blocks site storage.
• The feature grid lights up its highlight chips one after another every time, instead of slower on each replay.

Changed

• Long releases on the changelog page show their first six changes, with a button to show the rest, so the page is quicker to scan.

Fixed

• Code in changelog entries, such as .sql or <<name>>, shows as a small grey chip instead of being wrapped in literal backticks.

Changed

• Agent and contributor docs now ask for a changelog picture with every visible change.

Added

• Changelog entries now show a small picture of what changed, with a before and after where it helps: SQL colours, the paste dialog, welcome screens, tabs, the bottom bar and more.

Added

• SQL colours that follow the usual SQL editor convention: blue keywords, red strings, green comments, magenta functions and grey operators.
• Tables, aliases and columns in SQL each get their own colour, read from where they stand in the query.

Added

• SQL files (.sql): syntax highlighting and a Format action that puts each clause on its own line, with leading commas, AND/OR conditions indented under WHERE and ON, and subqueries indented one level.
• SQL files open in the editor alone: no side panel, highlights, defaults or variables.

Changed

• The about page now shows the feature grid: tree and text sync, local storage, compare, tag highlights and share links.

Added

• A feature showcase grid for the editor (tree and text sync, local storage, compare, tag highlights, share links), ready to place on a page.

Changed

• Added the stageshow agent skill for building faux product UI and demo illustrations.

Added

• Change a file's type (XML, JSON, fixed-width) from the command menu or by right-clicking its tab. Types the content can't be read as are disabled.

Fixed

• Pasting into a file that still holds only the starter template, such as tabs made before files started empty or a new JSON file, now replaces the template and asks for the file type and profile, instead of pasting inside it.

Added

• Pasting into an empty file, or over all of one, asks which file type and profile it is, with what the content gives away already picked. Press Enter to accept, clone any profile or make a new one from the same dialog.

Changed

• New files start empty. An empty file has no type: its tab drops the extension, the structure panel and file actions hide, and the editor invites you to paste or type.

Fixed

• Errors from a file's old type no longer linger in the editor after it changes type.

Added

• Open pipe-delimited flat files, such as shipment exports with SH|… and PC|… lines. The side panel shows their records as a table, with one tab per record type that follows the cursor; click a cell to select that field in the editor.
• The open dialog accepts .txt and .dat files.

Fixed

• Pressing Tab while a completion is shown now accepts it instead of indenting the line.

Changed

• Highlights with no match in the current file no longer show in the bottom bar; a button lists them so you can still remove them.

Changed

• Tooltips wait a full second before appearing and no longer chain instantly from one button to the next.
• Removed tooltips that only repeated a button's label; toolbar tooltips now appear only where they show a keyboard shortcut.

Fixed

• The new file button and tab close buttons now line up vertically.

Changed

• Redesign the welcome screen around a small XML snippet on a faint dot grid. Its lines settle in on arrival and a caret blinks at the end.
• Shorten the welcome description and keep the three actions on one row.

Changed

• Restore the previous welcome screen: no animated illustration, the original title and description, three equal actions and the command palette hint.

Changed

• Simplify the welcome screen to a friendly illustration, a short prompt and one main action to open a file, with new XML and JSON files as secondary options.
• Hide the side panel toggle when no file is open.

Changed

• Share the project instructions with all coding agents through AGENTS.md, including the commit, changelog and push steps.

Changed

• Show work from before versioning as regular releases (0.31.0 to 0.146.0), numbered by commit count.

Changed

• Simplify the changelog into one row per release, with earlier Git history folded away.
• Simplify the About page to a short description with the version, storage and source.
• Link the changelog from the site header.

Added

• Automatically select a matching profile when opening or dropping a file, based on its structure and learned profile choices. (4131a4d)
• Document earlier releases with links to every commit.

Changed

• Restyle the changelog with compact release sections, date navigation and the editor’s neutral typography and colors.

Added

• Add a changelog page. Click the version in the bottom bar or footer to open it. (432cfec)

Added

• Show the app version in the editor's bottom bar and the site footer. (85bf204)

Added

• Add a share button to the top bar. (4235262)
• Add a custom sort order to formatting. (12b7dcc)

Changed

• Run the app on the TanStack Redact runtime. (9c86276)
• Rename the project to xml. (d150b22)
• Switch tabs with Control and the arrow keys. (4b8d79c)
• Ignore namespace prefixes in profile tag rules. (06dc1d4)
• Carry the file's profile in share links. (536d689)
• Record browser check results and add tasks 8 to 11. (8089d62)
• Replace finished fixes in TASKS.md with follow-ups. (ee97c59)

Fixed

• Silence React Doctor on eager CodeMirror and restore writes. (97347c4)
