Varve 0.1.2
This release improves editor reliability and completes the first production
resilience pass for the application, website, and release pipeline.
Fixed
- Settings dropdowns now render above native dialogs and Export, Performance,
Appearance, and theme changes apply immediately. - Content-Aware Fill preview sizing and Fit, 1:1, Center, zoom, keyboard, and
crop interactions now behave consistently. - Palette extraction accepts a user-selected count from 3 through 32 colors.
- Browser update synchronization, Linux browser chrome detection, menubar
navigation, and React 19 tooltip refs are hardened. - GitHub Actions now have stronger workflow validation, concurrency controls,
cache/log diagnostics, and failure reports. - GitHub Pages builds use the correct
/varve/project-site base path.
Before you install
These builds are not code-signed. That is a statement about this project’s budget, not about the files — but your operating system cannot tell the difference, and neither can you without checking. Verify the SHA-256 checksum below against your download before running it.
- Windows shows "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info → Run anyway.
- macOS refuses to open the app. Use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Do not disable Gatekeeper system-wide.
- Linux has no equivalent prompt; verify the checksum instead.

Known limitations
- This is early software. Keep backups of anything you care about. The
.varvedocument format may still change in ways that break older files. - Updates are manual — there is no in-app updater yet.
A CycloneDX software bill of materials is attached as varve-0.1.2-sbom.cdx.json.
