v0.4.1

SolisWare Axion Notes v0.4.1 "Viewport"

This maintenance release makes note menus and rich-text editing more reliable. It also corrects several list-formatting issues and improves the behavior of dedicated note windows.

Added

• Added vertical scrolling to note context menus and submenus when their contents are taller than the available window space

Changed

• Updated Electron dependencies

Fixed

• Fixed nested note context menus so the Format, Font Size, and Font submenus automatically open in a direction that keeps them within the visible window
• Restored missing checkboxes on checklist items
• Fixed dashed-list spacing, dash marker and caret sizing, and font-size inheritance when creating new list items
• Fixed nested dashed lists so their markers and newly created items inherit the parent list's formatting
• Fixed indentation and checkbox alignment in nested checklists
• Fixed the font controls so selections containing mixed font sizes or font families are identified accurately
• Fixed opening a note that already has a dedicated window so the existing window is brought into focus

Security

• Reduced reported dependency vulnerabilities

Notes

• Because the app is not yet code-signed, macOS Gatekeeper or Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show a warning when you open the downloaded app or installer.

Fixes

This patch release focuses on visual polish and a smoother note editing experience.

Highlights

• Added a new app icon with improved clarity at smaller sizes, such as launcher icons, shortcuts, title bars, and window icons

Notes

This is still an early release. Because the app is not yet code-signed, macOS Gatekeeper or Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show a warning when opening the downloaded app or installer.

The project has also moved forward under the Axion Notes name, with updated branding and icon assets across the desktop and web builds.
