Binary Markdown 0.2.0

This release introduces experimental document export, the 01 / MD identity, and an identified build and release process. The extension remains free and open source, with source access and development builds treated as intended ways to use it.

  • Export saved Markdown to standalone HTML, rendered PDF, editable DOCX or EPUB. Use the sharing-arrow menu beside the VS Code button. Pandoc is required for DOCX/EPUB; a compatible user-installed Chrome/Chromium/Edge is required for PDF. HTML needs no separate converter.
  • Save beside the source with safe filename collisions: the completed export's final eight SHA-256 hexadecimal characters, then numbered suffixes; identical hash-named files are reused without overwriting existing work.
  • Follow actual progress stages, cancel active jobs, retain original-resolution supported assets, and receive visible fallback warnings. HTML/PDF preserve supported editor appearance; DOCX/EPUB emphasize editable structure.
  • Use Binary Markdown: Copy Build Information to report the exact source revision, local changes and host environment. Reports from older development commits are welcome. See releases and support.
  • Adopt the supplied 01 / MD artwork and AGPL-3.0-or-later for current development. Earlier MIT versions, inherited notices and third-party licenses are preserved; see licensing and branding.
  • Keep BinaryOutlook.binary-markdown and its settings/storage identifiers when updating from 0.1.0. Reopen editor tabs or reload VS Code after installation. Older ID migration is separate.

The release scope is local desktop VS Code on macOS and Ubuntu. Required automated validation checks the same VSIX on Ubuntu/macOS and in the declared minimum VS Code 1.85.0; evidence and any remaining manual-reader limitations are linked in validation. Windows export, Remote/web hosts and standalone installers remain future work.

Remote-SSH export is not yet supported. Unsupported windows show the restriction in the menu and disable all formats, including HTML, without suggesting that installing Pandoc or a browser will fix it. To export now, copy the Markdown file and its referenced assets locally and open them in desktop VS Code on macOS or Linux.

Export is intentionally an initial version: simple pagination can leave blank space; HTML/PDF retain dollar-math, TOC and footnote syntax as visible source with warnings; Pandoc layout differs from browser output. Detailed fallback explanations remain English. Custom destinations, templates, compression and unsaved export are future work. See export help.

Download the VSIX, matching source, build information, validation evidence and checksums attached to this release. No Marketplace account or payment is needed to install the VSIX. Official releases follow completed validation, without a fixed release schedule.

The attached VSIX is the exact artifact validated by that run. Check SHA256SUMS before installation.
