@github-actions github-actions released this 10 Jul 03:18

First 0.3.0 release (the alpha1 work was dogfooded internally, never published,
and is rolled up here).

Added

  • Richer Register / Unregister dialogs for Windows integration, each with
    minimalist diagrams so non-technical users can see what every option does.
    • Register (all on by default): Move the download into the app folder
      (vs. copy), Add to Start menu, Add a Desktop shortcut, plus the
      existing Set as default. The original download location is remembered.
    • Unregister (all optional): remove the Open With registration, restore a
      copy to where it was downloaded
      , remove the Start-menu entry, remove the
      Desktop shortcut, and remove the installed app-folder copy.
    • Move installs to the app folder then relaunches from there and deletes
      the original download (via a --finish-move handoff, guarded by the
      unsaved-changes prompt so a restart can't drop edits).
  • Skip Spell Check in Code (View menu, WYSIWYG) — leaves code blocks and
    inline code un-checked while still spell-checking prose, so identifiers,
    keywords and snippets don't get flagged. On by default; remembered between
    sessions. (Source view remains all-or-nothing — a WPF TextBox limitation.)
  • Spell-check on/off is now remembered between sessions.
  • ROADMAP.md — a living wishlist/roadmap. First entry: the
    de-risk spike for owning the spell-check stack (custom dictionaries +
    "Add to dictionary" via the Windows Spell Checking API), since WebView2
    exposes no dictionary API.

Changed

  • Denser table styling. Square corners, a gray header row (darker than the
    stripes), tighter cell padding (1px 6px), 12px text, and the first data row
    is light (stripes start on row 2). Also fixed a latent bug where Nord's
    !important logical-padding rules were silently overriding our cell padding —
    tables now render at the intended density.

Fixed

  • Win+arrow window management now behaves like Notepad / File Explorer. We
    were intercepting Win+arrow and hand-rolling snap math, which was worse than
    the OS (no snap-assist, poor multi-monitor/DPI handling). Removed the handler
    entirely; the window is a standard resizable window, so native Windows Snap
    just works.
