• Share links now carry images as separate files instead of base64 text, and shared compositions load those files on open.
• Saved programs store their images in IndexedDB rather than localStorage, so saves no longer fail with a storage-full error once a few images are in use.
• Still images keep their original aspect ratio after a program is reloaded, instead of stretching to fill the frame.
• Exported WGSL frames (video, GIF, PNG) now come out right-side up instead of upside down.
• Audio inputs with more than two channels now use every channel the browser actually delivers; in Firefox this restores channels 3 and up of multichannel interfaces.
• A denied microphone prompt stays denied until you explicitly retry, instead of reopening the system prompt on every device change.

Includes Noisemaker 1.0.285

• Share links with ?code= now load the linked patch again.
• Fixed classicNoisedeck effects (cga, subpixel, edge, litEdge, derivDivide and others) that produced wrong output on WebGPU; results now match WebGL2.
• Fixed vertical mirror modes in filter/flipMirror and classicNoisedeck/effects, which were keeping the opposite half of the frame from the one they named.
• Fixed render3d and renderLit3d showing volumes as a mirror image; non-symmetric volumes now render as authored, and top-down views in renderLit3d are no longer rotated 180°.
• Fixed filter/glyphMap drawing glyphs upside down, and corrected the orientation of input used by points/flock, hydraulic, lenia and life on WebGPU.
• Fixed large-format tiled exports for many effects (blur, bloom, sharpen, sobel, dither, vignette, crt, tile, scale, zoomBlur, lighting, mandelbrot, reaction-diffusion and others) that previously showed seams or wrong content when rendered in tiles.

• Taking a composition online with seed images now creates the session without those bytes and uploads each distinct image and mask afterwards, so Safari no longer fails to go online with a 400 error.
• A session code typed in capitals is now looked up in a single request instead of probing every case variant, so joining a shared composition is more reliable.
• The foreground color picked in the toolbar is kept across reloads and crash recovery, so the next stroke paints the color you last chose.
• Layer rows can be reached with Tab, selected with Enter or Space, renamed with F2, and reordered with Alt+ArrowUp/Down; the drag handle and name field document these keys.
• The mask thumbnail and the mask and layer context menus now take keyboard focus and arrow-key navigation, so mask operations like invert, feather and selection-from-mask are reachable without a mouse.
• The Magic Wand tolerance slider and the toolbar foreground color input now announce their names to screen readers, and each layer row's opacity slider is named Opacity.

• Single-key shortcuts no longer fire while a dropdown, color picker, menu, or shortcut dialog is focused — tapping a letter to pick a menu item won't change the tempo or recall a scene.
• The NoiseBLASTER! gallery tab now loads up to 250 compositions in one request so the full feed shows.
• A parameter edit from the effect panel preserves nearby comments and your layout, so one Ctrl/Cmd+Z undoes typing without reverting the parameter change.
• Gated controls stay active when their driving parameter is being moved by an oscillator, MIDI, or audio source.
• Bare digits recall scenes right after boot, instead of being typed into the editor.
• Dropped or picked images are now stored as files in the browser's database rather than base64 text in local storage, so programs with images save reliably — including in Safari private browsing — and sharing sends images as files.

• Scenes now store their image files in IndexedDB instead of base64 text in localStorage, so saving scenes with large images no longer fails after a few saves.
• Saved images are kept as raw bytes, so scenes with images can now be saved in Safari private browsing.
• Shared compositions opened via ?code= now load their original image files instead of falling back to a default image.
• The live set — both decks, crossfader, FX, BPM, mixer effect and auto-VJ config — is now saved continuously and restored when the page reloads.
• The 'Prefer WebGPU renderer' setting now also applies to the mixer output used by Sync output, the compositor and the recorder, not just the two decks.
• Double-clicking the record button no longer loses the first recording or splices its final frames into the next one; both recordings are saved separately.

• Shares now upload images and the screenshot as separate files instead of embedding them as base64, and opening a share loads each image file back.
• Workspaces store images as binary data in IndexedDB, so saving a composition with images works in Safari private browsing.
• Exporting an effect to ZIP writes images as separate files under images/, in the same layout Shade uses, and still reads older ZIPs that used images.json.
• Exporting a DSL-only workspace now includes the program file in the ZIP; previously the archive could ship with no program at all.
• Shared effect ZIPs now include WGSL shaders and help.md, not only GLSL shaders.
• Controls gated on another parameter stay active when an oscillator, MIDI, audio source, or variable drives that parameter.
