MarkMaid v0.1.5

MarkMaid v0.1.5

MarkMaid v0.1.5 is a reliability and safety release for the read-only local
document workspace. It makes preview opening consistent across the app, keeps
background work from disrupting the active document, and bounds expensive file
and workspace operations.

Highlights

• Open Markdown, standalone Mermaid, and common image files through the Open
  dialog, drag and drop, Finder, forwarded app instances, Markdown links, or the
  Files sidebar.
• Navigate one global Back / Forward history across tabs, relative links,
  anchors, restored sessions, and reopened documents.
• Keep background loads and reloads from stealing the active tab, while safely
  ignoring stale results after retries or tab closure.
• Re-render every open standalone Mermaid preview when its theme changes,
  including files outside pinned folders.
• Keep large workspaces responsive with bounded directory visibility scans and
  Quick Open indexing. Truncated and unavailable roots are reported separately.
• Harden native PDF printing with a page-load watchdog, bounded print-panel
  interaction, one-shot cleanup, and a dedicated minimal Tauri capability.

Safety and limits

• Markdown and standalone Mermaid previews are limited to 16 MiB per file.
• Direct image previews are limited to 100 MiB per file.
• Hidden entries, symlinks, and common generated directories such as .git,
  node_modules, dist, build, target, .venv, and Pods are excluded
  from workspace traversal and Quick Open indexing.
• Local image access is limited to explicitly opened images, a document's
  directory subtree, or the shared pinned workspace root containing the
  document. Grants last for the current app session.
• Quick Open continues to index file names and paths for Markdown files only;
  it does not search document contents, Mermaid files, or images.

Installation

MarkMaid is currently distributed for Apple Silicon Macs. Download either the
DMG or app ZIP from the GitHub Release.

Current builds use an ad-hoc signature rather than Developer ID notarization.
After copying MarkMaid to /Applications, clear the quarantine attribute if
macOS blocks the app:

xattr -cr /Applications/MarkMaid.app

MarkMaid remains preview-first and read-only. This release does not add a
Markdown editor or continuous filesystem watching.
