Owlet v0.3.0
Download Owlet-v0.3.0-windows-x64.zip, extract the entire folder, and run Owlet.exe. No installer or Node.js required. The portable ZIP is the canonical Windows binary; SHA256SUMS.txt verifies the download.
What's new
- Immediate feedback when opening files. Tabs activate and Explorer reveals your selection before a remote transfer completes. A Loading indicator stays visible; failures offer Retry. Finishing a download won't steal focus or reopen a closed tab.
- Static HTML previews. Read HTML with workspace CSS and images locally or over SSH. Source, Preview and Both modes share the command palette, and Both previews unsaved edits.
- Recognizable file types. Distinct Lucide icons separate PDF, Markdown, HTML, LaTeX, bibliography, images, code, configuration and other common formats. Redistribution notices are included.
- LaTeX and bibliography highlighting. TeX-family files, BibTeX/BibLaTeX entries and common bibliography-style tokens now have syntax colors. No language server or TeX compiler required.
- Know which build you're running. File → About Owlet shows version and build identity. Copy version info provides a diagnostic summary; older windows retain their own build information after an update.
Scope
The HTML viewer is static: scripts, external resources/navigation, web fonts and dev servers are not supported. CSS/import and image loads are bounded. PDF limits remain 32 MiB; UTF-8 text 4 MiB and raster images 16 MiB. Direct SSH shells still require explicit restart after a lost connection.
Windows x64 portable binary, unsigned. Signed installers and automatic updates are not included. SSH uses configured OpenSSH authentication and a Linux host with Bash and Python 3; no persistent daemon is installed.
