mdview v1.2.0

[1.2.0] — 2026-05-18

Added

• Multi terminal tabs — Terminal Panel tab bar with "+" button to create additional PTY sessions. Each tab is an independent shell process with its own xterm.js buffer. Close a tab kills only that session; closing the last tab leaves the panel open but empty. Double-click a tab label to rename (max 30 chars, session-scoped, not persisted across restarts) (FR-32, FR-33).
• In-app update UX — Upgrades the v1.0.1 startup-check prompt to a full update flow: "Check for Updates" button in App Header triggers a manual check at any time; if an update is found, an Update Modal displays the release notes (markdown rendered, unsafe HTML stripped) and a download progress bar. After download: "Install & Restart" button. "Later" dismisses without blocking. Download failures show an inline retry option (FR-34, FR-35).

Changed

• Terminal Panel moved to a VSCode-style bottom panel (was a sidebar view in v1.1.0). Spans the full width of the work area (sidebar + main); drag the top edge to resize (clamped 120–800px, persisted within session). Toggle with the Activity Bar Terminal icon or `Cmd/Ctrl+``.
• Activity Bar semantics — Folders icon toggles the Sidebar; Terminal icon toggles the Bottom Panel. Each icon highlights when its panel is visible; panels are independent (Sidebar + Terminal can be open at the same time). The previous activeView model is removed from the ui store; bottomPanelVisible + bottomPanelHeight are now first-class state.
• Layout restructured to [AppHeader] / [ActivityBar | (Sidebar | Main) over BottomPanel] so the bottom panel sits under both the sidebar and the editor.

Fixed

• Terminal cwd race — TerminalPanel now waits up to 2 s for restoreWorkspace() to finish before calling pty_spawn, so the PTY's working directory matches the first workspace root on cold start instead of falling back to $HOME when the user opens the panel quickly.
• .md file association now actually opens files in mdview. Previously the OS launched mdview but the file never reached the editor. Three open paths are now wired through to a tabs.openFile call:
  • cold launch with argv .md paths (Windows/Linux),
  • macOS RunEvent::Opened { urls } from Finder while the app is already running,
  • any-platform second-launch via tauri-plugin-single-instance.
    Paths are buffered in a Rust-side PendingOpens queue and live-emitted as an open-file-request event; the frontend drains the queue on mount and also subscribes to the event. The main window is focused/un-minimized on each open.
