[0.8.0] — Electron Early Public Preview 1

Released: 2 August 2026

Public milestone

  • First public GitHub repository.
  • First public GitHub pre-release.
  • First public website.
  • First public download: version 0.8.0.
  • Architecture-specific macOS downloads for Apple Silicon and Apple Intel.
  • Beginning of the public Electron RFID Intelligence Platform.

Added

  • Guided Card Lab HF and LF identification workflows.
  • Card Viewer for reviewing stored read evidence.
  • Local Collection and RFID Tag record management.
  • Shared RFID Tag Picker for RFID Tag, Restore Helper, Compare and Labels.
  • Device Console with command library and command-safety controls.
  • Device Studio PCB Explorer and safe, read-only diagnostics.
  • Research, History and Change Log workspaces.
  • Local reports and user-controlled feedback packages.
  • Shared workflow-progress panel for supported scans and analysis.
  • Clear connection status separating USB detection, active PM3 session and diagnostic availability.
  • Thirty-day Preview access with signed extension and recovery tokens.
  • Privacy-preserving, tolerant local device verification.

Changed

  • RFID-related workspaces no longer silently select a Collection record.
  • Change Log tables use compact summaries with full details in the existing detail view.
  • Card Viewer distinguishes reported, observed and inferred evidence and no longer accepts temporary physical-card notes that disappear after the session.
  • Public Preview packages hide maintainer authoring, hotspot calibration, Engineering Mode and the internal build checklist.
  • Public wording uses Device Connection, Compatibility and Diagnostics instead of the former user-facing internal name.

Safety and privacy

  • Device Studio remains diagnostic and read-only.
  • Feedback packages are created locally and are never uploaded automatically.
  • Saved Collection data remains local unless the user explicitly exports or shares it.
  • Raw MAC addresses and raw machine identifiers are not stored for Preview device verification.
  • Legacy EP-EXT values are rejected; approved access changes require signed tokens.

Known limitations

  • Early Public Preview 1 is deliberately unsigned and not notarized.
  • Early Public Preview 1 support includes separate published macOS Apple Silicon and Apple Intel packages.
  • Hardware and firmware combinations can expose different information.
  • Some hardware fields correctly remain Unknown.
  • Electron Public Preview License v1.0 applies to this release. The matching Proxmark3 corresponding-source package is published with it.
