MarkMaid v0.1.9 release candidate
MarkMaid v0.1.9 is a release candidate for the reading-continuity and
localization release. It adds
Favorites, app-local bookmarks/highlights/notes, persisted visit and closed-tab
history, and English / Simplified Chinese UI. It does not add search, editing,
or Workspace Switcher.
Highlights
- Pin ready Markdown and standalone Mermaid documents as Favorites. They appear
in Quick Open after open tabs and before workspace/recents, and can be opened
from a Favorites-only Quick Open scope. - Add bookmarks, Find-based highlights, and short notes without writing Markdown
source. Annotations live inmarkmaid-annotations.jsonwith per-document and
global caps. - Restore bounded document visit history and closed-tab history after relaunch.
Reopen Closed Tab peeks first and consumes the entry only after a ready
preview. - Switch the UI between English, Simplified Chinese, or the macOS preferred
languages. Traditional Chinese does not convert automatically. Locale changes
keep the current preview DOM attached. - Session restore uses version 2. v0.1.8 sessions migrate in place. A newer
unsupported session version is opened read-only so it is not overwritten.
Compatibility and non-goals
MarkMaid remains preview-first and read-only. Annotations never enter Markdown,
HTML comments, front matter, HTML/PDF export, or diagnostics. Favorites accept
only ready Markdown and standalone Mermaid files.
This release does not add Workspace Switcher, full-text search, backlinks,
editing, continuous filesystem watching, extra locales, Developer ID signing, or
notarization.
Installation
When v0.1.9 is published, it will be distributed for Apple Silicon Macs. The
DMG and app ZIP will be attached to the GitHub Release after the release gates
are signed off.
Current builds use an ad-hoc signature rather than Developer ID signing and
notarization. After copying MarkMaid to /Applications, clear the quarantine
attribute if macOS blocks the app:
xattr -cr /Applications/MarkMaid.appSee the complete change list in the v0.1.9 changelog after publication.
