v1.1.0

What's Changed

• Bbannotate/dev v1.1.0 by @seba2390 in #6

Full Changelog: v1.0.9...v1.1.0

v1.0.9

Added

• Adjustable draw crosshair controls in canvas toolbar (arm length and stroke width)
• Persistent crosshair preferences via localStorage

Changed

• Refined the canvas top toolbar into compact titled groups (Controls, Zoom, Label, Box, Cursor) with consistent control heights
• Updated Controls to always-visible compact tool buttons (Select, Draw, Pan) under the title
• Moved zoom actions into a compact expandable panel under Zoom to reduce toolbar width
• Replaced always-visible cursor sliders with compact expandable controls for arm length and arm width to keep toolbar footprint smaller
• Increased maximum crosshair arm length from 48 to 96 for longer cursor arms
• Switched draw-mode crosshair rendering to a canvas overlay to keep long cursor arms stable at larger sizes
• Lowered minimum crosshair arm width from 1.0 to 0.5 for finer cursor thickness tuning

Fixed

• Prevent drawing from starting outside image bounds
• Constrain in-progress drawing to image boundaries (including auto-pan updates), so boxes cannot be dragged past image edges
• Fixed crosshair shrinking at larger arm lengths due browser cursor image-size limits
• Center images by default in the canvas viewport (including zoom reset)

v1.0.8

Fixed a cli startup issue

v1.0.7

Bbannotate Release Notes

This release improves annotation clarity, runtime lifecycle behavior, and CLI observability, with a strong focus on responsiveness.

Highlights

• Added a new bounding-box color tool in the image toolbar:
  • Auto mode chooses a high-contrast color against the underlying image region.
  • Label mode keeps label-based colors.
  • Custom mode allows manual color selection.
• Bounding box color now applies while drawing, not only after the box is finalized.
• Improved selected-box visibility:
  • Clearer highlight on canvas.
  • Stronger visual emphasis for selected items in the right-side annotation list.

Runtime & Process Management

• bbannotate start now runs detached by default (except reload mode), so closing the terminal does not interrupt the app.
• Added browser-session lifecycle handling so closing the browser window cleanly shuts down related running processes.
• Added bbannotate status to inspect current runtime state (running services/processes and health status).

Documentation

• README updated to reflect:
  • New color tooling behavior.
  • Startup/runtime modes.
  • bbannotate status usage.
  • Current command behavior and shortcuts.

Notes

• No breaking workflow changes expected for normal use.
