FerMatter 0.11.0 Preview 5 includes the latest desktop fixes and the new update interface. This is a preview, not a stable-support declaration.

Changes

  • Keep Library and Source toolbar positions consistent, with compact controls and platform-appropriate window/menu appearance.
  • Customize Library extraction rules, including excluding math inside tables, without changing source documents.
  • Add the Updates panel and optional daily checks (enabled by default; existing opt-outs remain off). Preview 5 is installed manually or through the package manager; the stable in-app update feed remains inactive pending platform validation.
  • Adopt the permanent io.github.fermatter.fermatter app identity while retaining existing projects, settings, drafts, Instant history and legacy storage paths.
  • Preserve Windows menus after closing Instant, keep single SVG clipboard images as vectors in LibreOffice Impress, and queue launches received during startup.
  • Restore SVG source as an editable draft and wait for explicit Render before compilation.
  • Bound ZIP import metadata/decompressed output, improve saved-data recovery, and fix Linux launcher icon discovery.

Install and update

Use the Download page for the platform installer and package-manager commands. Existing Preview 4 installations need this manual/package-manager update before the Updates interface becomes available. Existing project folders and saved data are retained.

Platforms and validation

  • macOS: Apple Silicon, macOS 14 deployment target; app ad hoc signed, DMG/PKG unsigned and not notarized. Native testing was on macOS 26.5.2; older OS and clean-account opening prompts remain unverified. If macOS offers per-app approval, follow Apple's opening instructions. Keep Gatekeeper enabled.
  • Windows: Windows 11 x64 preview, unsigned NSIS installer with the offline WebView2 runtime. Windows Server CI checks installation, previous-preview replacement, startup, real compilers and data-preserving removal. Native Windows 11 observations cover the preceding source candidate; final clean-account/security prompts remain a release gate.
  • Ubuntu: experimental Ubuntu 24.04 amd64 DEB and signed APT repository. Physical Ubuntu 24.04.5 / GNOME 46 X11 validation covered rendering, saved-data replacement and SVG insertion into Impress. Wayland, direct drag, native image clipboard and remaining updater/recovery/removal cases are not established. Native image clipboard and recoverable project deletion remain unavailable.

TeX/Typst and PDF tools are external. See requirements, resolved issues, and the validation record. Stable release gates remain in #134.

Production npm/Cargo audits report no entries classified as vulnerabilities; informational unmaintained-dependency warnings and the known Linux GTK glib 0.18.5 unsoundness advisory remain recorded. Linux stays experimental.

Source: 7798fde, macOS build 16. See the attached build-info.json for the exact macOS artifact validation scope. Windows and Ubuntu are published separately with their own provenance.
