0.0.4_BETA

CHANGELOG

[0.0.4_BETA] — 2025-06-23

🐛 Bug Fixes — CI/CD (Critical)

• Fixed release.yml failing on all platforms — @tauri-apps/cli was missing from package.json devDependencies, causing tauri build to fail on Windows, macOS, and Linux (#28052770409)
• Fixed all release workflows still failing — tauri-action@v0 was silently failing; replaced with direct npx tauri build for full control and visible error output (#28054215281, #28054228335, #28054238180)
• Fixed Rust compilation error cannot find crate multimdreader_lib — main.rs referenced multimdreader_lib::run() but the crate is named multimdreader; changed to multimdreader::run() (#28055357691, #28055369781, #28055379901)
• Fixed Rust compilation failures — removed unused Tauri plugins (tauri-plugin-dialog, tauri-plugin-fs) from Cargo.toml and lib.rs that were causing crate version incompatibilities
• Fixed vite-plugin-singlefile conflict with Tauri — removed singlefile plugin (useful for standalone HTML but causes issues with Tauri's asset embedding); Tauri now receives proper separate JS/CSS bundles
• Fixed Node.js 20 deprecation — upgraded all workflows to Node.js 22 (Node 20 is deprecated on GitHub Actions runners as of September 2025)
• Fixed npm ci failures — replaced with npm install and added package-lock.json to .gitignore so CI generates fresh lock files
• Fixed Linux build environment — changed ubuntu-latest to ubuntu-22.04 as recommended by Tauri v2 docs for webkit2gtk compatibility
• Fixed macOS matrix fail-fast — added fail-fast: false so Intel failure doesn't cancel Apple Silicon build (and vice versa)
• Fixed Arch Linux package build — replaced broken container: approach with addnab/docker-run-action@v3 for reliable Arch container builds
• Fixed release permissions — added permissions: contents: write to all release workflows so they can create GitHub releases
• Added libssl-dev to Linux system dependencies for complete Tauri build requirements

🔧 Refactoring — CI/CD

• Split release.yml into 3 per-OS workflows for independent builds and clearer failure isolation:
  • release-windows.yml — Windows x64 (installer + portable)
  • release-macos.yml — macOS Intel (x64) + Apple Silicon (aarch64)
  • release-linux.yml — Linux Debian (.deb), AppImage, and Arch (.pkg.tar.zst)
• Replaced tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0 with direct build commands — each workflow now runs npx tauri build directly with softprops/action-gh-release@v2 for release creation, giving full control over build steps and clear error output
• Added explicit frontend build step before Tauri build for better error isolation
• Added cargo fetch step to pre-download Rust dependencies for clearer failure diagnostics
• Added build output listing step to help debug artifact location issues

🔧 Refactoring — Tauri Backend

• Simplified lib.rs — removed unused Tauri commands (get_app_version, get_app_name) and plugins, now just creates a window with the frontend
• Simplified Cargo.toml — removed tauri-plugin-dialog, tauri-plugin-fs dependencies; removed "devtools" feature from Tauri
• Simplified capabilities/default.json — only core:default permission needed

📦 Dependencies

• Added @tauri-apps/cli@^2 to devDependencies (was missing — root cause of original CI failure)
• Removed vite-plugin-singlefile — incompatible with Tauri's asset embedding
• Removed package-lock.json from repository — CI generates fresh lock file each time

📝 Documentation

• Updated all 6 READMEs with new per-OS workflow badges and revised CI/CD documentation section
• Updated package.json name from react-vite-tailwind to multimdreader
• Added testing notice to all 6 READMEs: only Windows releases have been tested by the author; macOS and Linux builds are provided as-is

0.0.3_ALPHA

Source code only. the release workflow didn't work now.

[0.0.3_ALPHA] — 2025-06-23

✨ New Features

• Code block copy button — hover over any fenced code block to copy its content to clipboard with visual feedback
• Remove individual recent files — hover X button on each recent file in the sidebar to remove it from history
• Keyboard shortcuts panel — reference panel shown in the sidebar footer
• Error notifications — visible inline banner for file read errors and unsupported file format attempts
• Close file button — button in the file info bar to close the current file
• GitHub Pages deployment — new deploy-pages.yml workflow with proper VITE_BASE support for subpath hosting
• Generated app icon — public/icon.png with blue-purple gradient "M" design
• Multilingual READMEs — 6 translated READMEs with cross-language navigation:
  • README.md (🇺🇸 English US)
  • README.en-GB.md (🇬🇧 English UK)
  • README.it.md (🇮🇹 Italiano)
  • README.es.md (🇪🇸 Español)
  • README.de.md (🇩🇪 Deutsch)
  • README.fr.md (🇫🇷 Français)
• shortcuts i18n keys — added to all 6 locale files for the keyboard shortcuts panel
• closeFile i18n key — added to all 6 locale files for the close file button

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed identical en-GB and en-US locales — they were byte-for-byte identical; now properly differentiated (e.g. "dialogue" vs "dialog", "colour" vs "color" where applicable)
• Fixed FileReader missing error handling — added onerror callback with user-visible error notification (previously, a failed read would silently do nothing)
• Fixed handleFileInput type — changed from generic React.ChangeEvent to React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement> for type safety
• Fixed formatDate() ignoring i18n locale — now uses getLocaleForDateFormat() to map language codes to proper locale strings (e.g. it → it-IT, de → de-DE)
• Fixed hardcoded version in About dialog — replaced inline "0.0.2" with APP_VERSION constant
• Fixed i18n detector using default localStorage key — changed to multimdreader-language for namespace consistency
• Fixed drag & drop state getting stuck — improved handleDragLeave with bounding-rect boundary checking

🔧 Refactoring

• Extracted app constants — APP_VERSION, APP_AUTHOR, APP_WEBSITE, APP_REPO as module-level constants
• Extracted utility functions — formatFileSize(), formatDate(), getLocaleForDateFormat(), isSupportedFile() as standalone functions
• Created inline SVG icon components — 14 icon components replacing any previous approach
• Added CodeBlock component — dedicated component with copy-to-clipboard functionality
• Cleaned up src/utils/cn.ts — removed unused template utility file

📦 Dependencies

• Added @tailwindcss/typography — for prose markdown rendering classes
• Added i18next, i18next-browser-languagedetector, react-i18next — internationalization framework
• Added react-markdown, remark-gfm, rehype-highlight — Markdown rendering pipeline
• Added highlight.js — syntax highlighting engine with github-dark theme

📝 Documentation

• Added CHANGELOG.md (this file)
• Updated all version references from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3_ALPHA

0.0.2_ALPHA
