OpenSoegaki v0.4.0

Crop: rotation

• 90-degree turns from on-canvas buttons; free tilt by dragging the band around the image
• Magnetic detents every 15 degrees, with a felt wall at +/-45
• A tick dial on the band, so it reads as a control rather than letterboxing
• Tilted corners: choose inscribed (never an empty pixel) or circumscribed (full tilted rectangle, corners exported as transparency)
• The preview frame follows the angle continuously while you drag

Paste a screenshot from the clipboard (iPhone)

• Paste Screenshot on the welcome screen and the toolbar: Copy and Delete a screenshot, paste it in — it never lands in Photos
• An iOS Shortcut recipe hands it over straight from the share sheet (see docs/WEB.md)
• Hidden on browsers without clipboard-image support; Choose Photo works as before

Update notice on startup

• A small bar names the new version once, with Download opening the releases page — never twice for the same version
• One request to GitHub's release API; no screenshot, identifier or app version is sent
• Switch it off in the tray, or with OPENSOEGAKI_UPDATE_CHECK=off
• Offline, blocked, or switched off: the app starts normally and shows nothing

Toolbar and palette

• Rebuilt toolbar: one adaptive layout — no more buttons wrapping wherever an iPhone viewport cuts them off
• Size (S/M/L) and color are now visible at a glance instead of easy to miss
• Palette: a uniform mid-grey ring on every swatch and a recessed track, so light and dark colors read at the same size; the active swatch takes a white ring and a luminance-aware check mark

Other

• The drag-to-share tab is anchored to the window's bottom edge, centered, with a dot grip; Copy and Save stay right
• Tool tooltips no longer advertise single-key shortcuts (A, R, T, H, N, M, V, C) that were never implemented
• 653 unit, 22 Rust and 95 browser tests green for this release

WARNING!

For MacOS users please read README.md#Download & install — bundles are unsigned and Gatekeeper reports the app as "damaged"; the README has the one-line fix.

OpenSoegaki v0.3.0

Changes since v0.2.1.

New: Magnifier (loupe) tool

• A new toolbar tool magnifies part of the picture and shows it enlarged somewhere else on the same picture, so one screenshot carries both the wide view and a readable close-up.
• To place one, pick the magnifier and press on the spot you want to enlarge, then slide: the source marker follows your finger or cursor while the lens rides alongside showing the live magnified content. Release to place it. A simple tap places one too.
• A beam is drawn from the source marker to the lens, so it is always obvious which part of the picture the close-up came from.
• Two lens shapes. Tapping the magnifier button again switches between a round lens and a rectangular one ("cube mode"); the button icon follows. The rectangular lens is meant for magnifying a line or strip of text.
• Drag the lens to move the close-up without changing what it shows; drag the source marker to change what is magnified without moving the lens. The source can be dragged even when the magnifier is not selected.
• Resize and zoom: the round lens resizes from its corner handles at a fixed zoom, and the grip on the source rim changes the magnification. The rectangular one resizes from the eight handles around its source, with a zoom grip on the lens corner. The current magnification is shown while the magnifier is selected, and never appears in the exported picture.
• Lens and source sizes are kept inside a range that stays comfortable to grab with a finger, and the lens cannot grow larger than the picture area allows.
• The magnifier stores no pixel copy: it samples the picture as it is drawn. Cropping, undo/redo and export all follow along automatically, and the exported PNG shows the magnified content at full resolution.

Fixes

• Text tool at the right edge (Windows): clicking the text tool near the right edge of the canvas slid the whole image sideways. The canvas now stays put wherever the text box opens.

Windows installer change

• Windows now ships only the -setup.exe (NSIS) installer; the .msi is no longer built.
• Reason: the MSI registered its Start Menu shortcut with an icon path inside the Windows Installer cache, which changes on every version — that is what made a taskbar pin show a blank icon. The -setup.exe shortcut points straight at the installed program, so the icon shows correctly and survives upgrades.
• If you installed a previous version from the .msi: unpin the app from the taskbar, uninstall it from Settings → Apps → Installed apps, install the -setup.exe, then pin it again. See the README for details.

Quality improvements

• Test coverage grew to 471 unit tests and 44 iPhone-viewport browser tests, most of it covering the new magnifier geometry and gestures.
• scripts/dev-windows.sh and scripts/build-windows.sh now find the repository themselves instead of relying on a hardcoded path.

WARNING!

For MacOS users please read README.md#Download & install

OpenSoegaki v0.2.1

New: OpenSoegaki Web (iPhone PWA)

• You can now install OpenSoegaki on iPhone as a web app. Add it to your Home Screen and it opens full-screen, like a normal app.
• The app works offline after you open it once online. Old cached versions are removed automatically when a new version is released.
• The web app deploys automatically to GitHub Pages with each release.
• You can pick a photo, save it with the iOS Share Sheet, and copy it (best effort on iOS).
• The interface is touch-friendly. Actions that used to need a keyboard now work with touch. Double-tap text to edit it again. The layout adjusts when the iOS keyboard opens.
• Annotations (lines, text, badges) scale automatically so they stay easy to see on large phone photos.
• Large photos (12+ megapixels) no longer cause a blank canvas on iOS.
• The welcome screen was redesigned as a clean empty state. Use "New Document" (Ctrl+N) to return to it at any time.
• The welcome screen now shows a privacy note, the app version, and a simple hint on how to add the app to your Home Screen.

New editing features

• Rotate tool: rotate selected shapes (rectangles, images, text, badges) using a drag handle. Hold Shift to snap to 15-degree steps.
• Fixed badge numbers: a new number bar lets you pick a specific badge number instead of always using auto-numbering.
• Crop confirm/cancel now always returns you to the select tool correctly.

Quality improvements

• Added automated browser tests that simulate an iPhone screen, run on every change.
• Made the welcome screen layout more reliable. If content does not fit on very small screens, you can now scroll to see it, instead of it being cut off.

OpenSoegaki v0.1.2

• OpenSoegaki is able to reopen app on MacOS
• All annotation objects are resizable.
• Text objects are re-editable.
