Synapse v1.3.0

This release brings everything since 1.1.0 (1.2.0 was tagged but never published).

Not notarized. Builds are ad-hoc signed, so macOS warns you the first time you open the app. See "First launch" below.

What's new

Update notice

  • At launch Synapse asks GitHub Releases whether a newer version exists. If so, a notice shows Synapse x.y.z is available with a Download button that opens the release page.
  • One request per launch, nothing about you or your notes is sent, failures are silent.
  • Turn it off in Settings → General → Check for updates.
  • Installing stays manual: download the new DMG and replace the app in Applications. Notes and settings are not touched.

Editor

  • A plain click on a link rendered by Live Preview ([[Note]], [[Note|alias]], [text](note.md)) opens it. ⌘-click still works everywhere; ⌘-click on a rendered link opens it in a new tab.

Reading view

  • Fenced code with a language is syntax-highlighted.
  • ```mermaid blocks render as diagrams.

Platforms

  • New Intel (x64) build. It is built from the same code but has not been tested on Intel hardware yet; please report any problem.
