v1.0.5 - July 12th 2026
Added
Every successful compile now shows slot, stack, and bytecode usage against your Cronus ZEN's maximum limits.
Lightbulb fixes are now driven by the real parser, allowing edits to land precisely without overlaps or duplicate suggestions.
New fixes cover unused declarations, switch fallthrough, assignments inside conditions, unconsumed return values, and single or multi-variable for declarations.
Hover, rename, references, cursor targeting, quickfixes, and the Problems panel now align correctly in scripts containing accents, symbols, or other non-ASCII text.
The bug report dialog can now capture detailed Cronus ZEN traffic for the current session, helping us investigate device-related reports.
Fixed
Momentary device-state races no longer cause false "connection lost" disconnects.
The Build button can no longer remain stuck after a failed compile.
Tab menus now target the correct tab, Git files restore using the correct language, close buttons remain visible, and dialogs correctly handle Escape and Enter.
Keyboard shortcuts no longer trigger while typing outside the editor.
Invalid switch-case values no longer disrupt the remaining case labels.
Multiline strings no longer shift diagnostic line numbers.
Outline and analytics panels clear correctly when switching to an empty tab.
Long usernames no longer break profile layouts on the Library page.
Improved
Script flashing and device reads are now much more reliable when the Cronus ZEN streams live data during an operation, preventing silent timeouts and corrupted reads.
Ctrl+S now detects files changed outside the editor and handles them safely.
Unsaved work is preserved when moving tabs between editor panes.
Workspace saving now recovers gracefully when browser storage fails and flushes when switching away from the tab.
Changes to the auto-save setting now apply immediately without requiring a reload.
Messages for REMAP_NULL, switch-case traps, memory limits, and other diagnostics are now clearer and more actionable.
Failed compiles now show an accurate summary that resets correctly before the next build.
When a new update becomes available, Zen Studio Live now prompts you to reload instead of failing on stale application files.
Broad reliability improvements across diagnostics, error handling, saving, tabs, and Cronus ZEN communication.
v1.0.3 - July 9th 2026
Fixed
Fixed duplicate tabs, cancelled-save tab closing, clipped hover tooltips and suggestions in split view, and a startup crash caused by duplicated tabs.
Compile results now stay with the tab that compiled them, and stale compiles can no longer overwrite another tab’s results.
Diagnostic positions are now correct in scripts containing non-ASCII characters, including accents and emoji.
The upload dialog now shows the correct active file name.
Fixed incorrect slot names in empty-readback errors, Flash All confirmation with no pending changes, and header wrapping.
Fixed live BALC dots, button-label length caps, device-tile layout issues, and label caption clipping.
The PS5 ADT column font size now matches the rest of the monitor.
The downvote tally is now hidden while vote buttons remain available.
Fixed a Script Library upload issue that could occur in Brave.
Improved startup behavior and library loading.
Improved
GPC3012–GPC3017: const-array narrowing warnings.
2D const-array index, address bounds, and single-bracket access are now validated.
Data-section address arguments are now checked against section size.
Built-in argument limits now error instead of slipping through.
Stray ; expressions now error with Expected expression instead of compiling as 0.
New warnings for zero-folding division/modulo and “glued” negative numbers such as x -1.
Zero-size array aliasing now warns with GPC6031; zero-size arrays without an alias target now error.

sizeof(image) now returns the element size, 1.
Deeply nested scripts are now caught instead of silently overflowing.

Restart your ZEN directly from the app. Zen Studio Live also restarts the device automatically after writing output, PS4, or Remote Play settings.
Flashing and firmware update communication has been reworked to reduce write failures and stalls.
Program is now always available when a connected, supported device is ready.
Capture bindings by pressing a key, mouse button, or controller button on your connected device.

The connected-device area now shows when newer firmware is available, plus a once-per-session heads-up.
Your M&K profile and ballistic curves now survive device disconnects. Unsaved changes now trigger a Save / Discard prompt.
If your Zen is already being used by another tab or app, Zen Studio Live now shows a clear in use elsewhere state.
Fixed
Constants now resolve correctly inside data() section values.
Const-array usage is no longer incorrectly reported as unused.

Enum members and variables now use the correct symbol icons.
Improved

workspace-restore reliability.
Cursor detection inside comments and strings is now more accurate.
The updater now handles busy devices, device handoff, disconnects during update, and Try Again recovery more reliably.
The success screen now shows the installed version, outdated firmware states show the available update, and rejected updates show the correct reconnect fix.
GitHub sign-in now completes inside its popup instead of reloading the whole app.
Flashing a new script to a slot no longer inherits leftover values from the previous script.
