CleanText Studio v1.6.0

CleanText Studio v1.6.0

CleanText Studio v1.6.0 introduces the Smart Document Structure Recovery
Engine. It turns the protected structures discovered during local cleanup into
one document tree used by preview and DOCX export.

Highlights

• Adds a unified AST for headings, paragraphs, lists, quotations, code, tables,
  inline mathematics, display mathematics, links, and safe raw fallbacks.
• Recovers adjacent list items into a single structural list, preventing a
  source marker and Word automatic numbering from being emitted together.
• Shares protected formula/table data between the document preview and editable
  Word OMML export rather than parsing the source separately for each view.
• Extends the supported formula subset with \partial, \overline, and
  \underline; malformed expressions remain visible and are reported.
• Rebuilds all twelve localized README pages and the complete v1.6.0 showcase
  from the current Qt application and a real Microsoft Word export.

Formula, table, and structure verification

• The opinion-dynamics regression fixture maps 172 source math nodes to 172
  Preview and DOCX nodes, with zero dropped, duplicated, moved, or supported
  raw-LaTeX nodes.
• Its three native tables retain their expected dimensions: 3×3, 6×5, and
  6×4, including 18 formulas that stay in their source cells.
• DOCX package validation checks relationships, Word-table dimensions, OMML
  output, placeholders, failure markers, and supported LaTeX residue.

Supported formulas can be exported as editable Word equations; unsupported or
malformed expressions may require review.

Compatibility and privacy

• Non-math cleaning output remains protected by the v1.4.2 freeze baseline.
• Basic cleanup remains local. Optional AI optimization only calls a provider
  configured by the user.

Windows packages

• Setup installs CleanText Studio for the current Windows user.
• Portable can be extracted and run without installation.
• Neither package requires a separate Python installation.

Release files:

• CleanText-Studio-v1.6.0-Windows-x64-Setup.exe
• CleanText-Studio-v1.6.0-Windows-x64-Portable.zip
• SHA256SUMS.txt

Verify a download with PowerShell:

Get-FileHash .\CleanText-Studio-v1.6.0-Windows-x64-Portable.zip -Algorithm SHA256
Get-Content .\SHA256SUMS.txt

Upgrade from v1.5.2

Install the new Setup package over the current per-user installation, or
extract the Portable ZIP into a new folder. Keep a backup of important input
documents and review generated DOCX files before publication. Existing
cleaning settings remain compatible.

Known limits

• The supported LaTeX subset is deliberately safe. Unknown custom macros are
  retained as a whole-formula fallback and reported for review; they are not
  silently converted into partial Word equations.
• This release provides Windows packages only. macOS, Linux, and Android
  packages are not currently published.

Thanks

Thanks to users who supplied anonymized complex documents and reproducible
formula/table failures. Reports that include a minimal sample and the generated
structure audit remain especially useful.
