Rune v0.2.0 — annotations, self-update, and gesture fixes.

New

  • Annotations: highlight, underline, and strikeout from a text selection, plus sticky notes — saved as standard PDF annotations that any reader can see. Right-click a selection, press Ctrl+H to highlight, and save with Ctrl+S / Ctrl+Shift+S. Unsaved changes are flagged on the tab and prompt on close.
  • Self-updating: Rune checks GitHub for newer releases (toggle in Settings, or "Check for updates now") and, for the portable build, downloads and installs the update in place.
  • Pinch-to-zoom: touch and precision-touchpad pinch now zoom, alongside Ctrl+scroll — both zoom at the cursor and re-render crisp.

Fixed

  • Night mode button/Ctrl+I did nothing after v0.1's title-bar tab refactor — now inverts every open tab again.
  • Zoom gestures weren't wired at all — pinch and Ctrl+wheel now work.
  • Rotate left pages blank (wide rotated tiles silently failed to draw) — rotation now renders correctly through all four orientations and clears stale selection/search highlights.

Downloads

File What it is
rune-v0.2.0-win-x64.zip Portable — extract and run Rune.exe. Self-updates.
Rune.App_0.2.0.0_x64.msix + rune-signing.cer Installed app with .pdf association. Trust the cert once (see README), then Add-AppxPackage.

Requires Windows 10 1809+ (x64).

Not yet code-signed: machines with Smart App Control on will block it, and SmartScreen may warn on first run. Code signing is planned; until then the portable build with SAC off is smoothest.

Coming next

Freehand ink annotations, form filling, signature verification, page organizing, more formats, and code signing.
