v1.2.0 - Visual Overhaul & UI Polish

This release focuses on a complete modernization of the user interface. With a brand-new icon set, a redesigned bus architecture, and improved layout structures, the simulator is now more intuitive and visually engaging for classroom use.

🎨 Visual Redesign

• New Background System: Migrated to high-performance WebP graphics with a completely redesigned arrows for both the Address and Data Bus.
• Modernized Icon Set: Introduced new, consistent icons for RAM control, the Control Unit (CU), microcode management, and execution controls.
• Bus Adjustments: The Address Bus length is now precisely aligned with the Control Unit.
• Design Consistency: Unified border-radius settings across various elements, including the RAM input arrow and the Control Unit cover, for a cohesive look.

🏗️ UI & Workflow Enhancements

• Header Restructuring: Reorganized the header elements into logical groups for a more streamlined workflow.
• Integrated Project Management: Combined the Settings, Project Upload, and Download buttons into a new "Simulator Options" container.
• Vertical Input Stacking: Macro recording inputs are now stacked vertically to save space and improve clarity on smaller screens.
• Layout Optimization: Adjusted spacing for CU toggles and repositioned the microcode options (mc-options) to prevent container overlapping.

⚙️ New Features & Settings

• Microcode Counter Toggle: Added a new setting to hide the Microcode Counter (requires reload), allowing users to simplify the interface.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Maintenance

• Layout Fixes: Resolved several issues regarding overlapping arrows and misaligned UI containers.
• Code Cleanup: Removed deprecated CSS classes (e.g., blackborder) and optimized graphical assets.
• Deployment Optimization: Excluded source design files (Inkscape files) from GitHub Pages builds to reduce the overall deployment size.

v1.1.0 – New Storage Architecture & Stability Update

This release introduces a major overhaul of the data management system, improved project portability, and several quality-of-life enhancements.

🚀 New Features

• New Project Format: Introduced .johnny project files. Users can now export and import full projects with significantly higher memory efficiency.
• Enhanced Settings:
  • autoScrollMicroCode: The microcode table now automatically follows the execution flow.
  • ramAutoScroll: The RAM table automatically scrolls to the active instruction.
  • fixRamAfterShift: Disable automatic ram fix after inserting or deleting rows.
• Channel Rename: Renamed the production channel to stable for better clarity in the versioning scheme.

🛠 Improvements & Refactoring

• Storage Architecture: Full migration to the new JohnnyProject class, centralizing data handling and state management.
• Optimization: Improved JSON export efficiency by removing trailing zeros, resulting in smaller file sizes.
• Standardization: Unified localStorage naming conventions and key syntax for a cleaner browser data footprint.
• Project Structure: Restructured the scripts directory and moved classes into dedicated folders to improve maintainability.
• Documentation: Added class descriptions and expanded inline comments across the codebase (specifically for the control unit and RAM logic).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• CORS Resolution: Switched version loading to a JS-based approach to prevent CORS errors when running the simulator from local ZIP builds.
• UI & Tables:
  • Fixed a bug where the selection arrow remained visible for hidden rows in the RAM table.
  • Resolved an issue where microcode highlighting would not reset properly.
  • Adjusted scroll offsets for both RAM and Microcode tables for better visibility.
• Recording:
  • Fixed "Address Out of Bounds" errors during macro recording.
  • Resolved a UI conflict where manual scrolling in the MC table interfered with the recording process.
