March 8, 2026

v0.8.1

Fixed

  • Resolved an issue where LVGL widgets placed inside a canvas group could sometimes be missing from the exported C code
  • The preview panel now correctly detects LVGL widgets nested within non-LVGL canvas objects

February 25, 2026

v0.8.0

Fixed

  • Custom font export now produces correct, standalone C source files — previously exported fonts could fail to compile or load at runtime
  • Font identifiers in generated code are now guaranteed to be valid C names, preventing build errors with certain font names
  • Fonts created before this fix now show a clear warning during export and gracefully fall back to the default font

Changed

  • Improved security of the backend font conversion pipeline

v0.7.0

Added

  • Cross-file copy/paste — widgets now carry their fonts and images when pasted between files
  • Image Fit/Crop mode — resize images proportionally or crop, with matching C code export
  • LVGL groups can now be freely moved within screen hierarchies
  • Library fonts are now available across all workspaces

Changed

  • New branded loading animation replaces the previous splash screen loader
  • Streamlined context menu with LVGL-relevant actions only
  • Improved performance for background tabs and large project layouts
  • Removed legacy drawing tools (pen, path, curve) to simplify the editor

Fixed

  • Widget drag and scaling no longer behaves erratically during group moves

February 14, 2026

Known Issues
