FaScan IDE 1.3.0.6

Private developer chat lets users write directly from the IDE, receive replies and attach screenshots. Release packaging now has stronger protection against accidentally bundled user projects.

What changed

• A private Developer chat entry was added to the top menu, with replies in the same conversation.
• History is retained locally and in protected server storage; offline messages remain queued and are sent later.
• The menu displays the number of unread developer replies.
• PNG, JPEG and WebP attachments up to 5 MiB are supported through the dark FaScan file browser.
• Each IDE installation creates a random conversation identifier and separate secret. Machine names, hardware data, PLC addresses and license keys are not used for chat identity.
• Installer builds now stop if projects, RT windows, Modbus saves, XML exports, SQLite databases, logs or backups enter the package.
• The current package audit found no user projects or saved data.

Editions

IDE PRO includes RT PRO 1.3.0.3. IDE FREE includes RT FREE 1.3.0.3. Edition limits and licensing are unchanged.
