| 7 | ## [0.2.0] - 2026-11-01 |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ### Added |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - **bench51-gui**, a desktop IDE laid out like Keil µVision: menus, toolbar, |
| 12 | Project window, editor with breakpoint and error gutter, Build Output, and |
| 13 | in a debug session the Registers, Disassembly, Memory, Symbols, UART #1, |
| 14 | Ports, Timers and Interrupts windows. Windows dock and tab anywhere; the |
| 15 | edit and debug layouts are remembered separately. |
| 16 | - Monochrome, dot-matrix design in dark and light themes (follows the |
| 17 | system by default), with Space Grotesk, Space Mono and Doto bundled. |
| 18 | - µVision's keys (F7, Ctrl-F5, F5, F10/F11, Ctrl-F10/F11, F9) with the |
| 19 | TUI's as aliases; find (Ctrl-F); inline memory editing; clickable SFR |
| 20 | bits and port pins; drag-and-drop to open files. |
| 21 | - Prebuilt releases for Linux (x86_64, aarch64), Windows (x86_64) and macOS |
| 22 | (Apple silicon, Intel), with one-line installers: `install.sh` for Linux |
| 23 | and macOS, `install.ps1` for Windows. |
| 24 | - CI on Linux, Windows and macOS. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ### Changed |
| 27 | |
| 28 | - The assembler, simulator and debugger session moved into a shared |
| 29 | `bench51-core` crate used by both front ends. The terminal app behaves |
| 30 | as before. |
| 31 | - Unsafe code is forbidden across the workspace. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ## [0.1.0] - 2026-10-23 |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ### Added |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - `bench51`, a terminal (TUI) 8051 IDE: editor, two-pass assembler for the |
| 38 | full instruction set with Keil-style listing and Intel HEX output, |
| 39 | simulator with timers, interrupts, UART and ports, and a debugger with |
| 40 | breakpoints, stepping and memory poke. |
| 41 | - Headless assembly with `bench51 --assemble`. |
| 42 | - Opening Intel HEX files as disassembled, re-assemblable source. |
