Rune v0.3.0
Rune v0.3.0 — freehand ink, a refreshed toolbar, a thumbnail homepage, and two visual fixes.
New
- Freehand pen (ink) annotations: press
Ctrl+E(or the pen button), draw on the page, and it's saved as a standard PDF ink annotation. Pick the pen color and width from the toolbar's overflow menu; each stroke is individually deletable via right-click. - Windows 11 toolbar: the command bar now uses the stock Fluent control — uniform button sizing, and it collapses commands into an overflow (⋯) menu on narrow windows. Title-bar tabs stay.
- Recent-documents homepage: your last files appear as first-page thumbnail cards on the start page — click to open. Toggle it in Settings.
Fixed
- Black box when zoomed far out: a document smaller than the window now fills and centers cleanly instead of showing a mismatched background box.
- Stray "Ctrl++" tooltip: clicking the page no longer pops up an accelerator tooltip.
