oolong v0.4.0

oolong v0.4.0 focuses on maintainability and keyboard-driven daily use. It splits the large renderer entry point into focused modules, improves history navigation and shortcut hints, and tightens the release packaging flow so local release output starts cleanly.

Downloads

• oolong-0.4.0-arm64.dmg
• oolong-0.4.0-arm64-mac.zip

Included Features

• Added keyboard navigation for selected history entries with Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P.
• Added custom tooltip support for titlebar, sidebar, context, settings, and submit controls.
• Updated the history sidebar toggle shortcut to Cmd+\.
• Added clearer shortcut hints for context switching, sidebar toggling, settings, and submit actions.

Architecture And Maintenance

• Split App.tsx into focused renderer modules for main UI, history, settings, shared UI, hooks, utilities, and config.
• Moved renderer defaults, provider model options, UI constants, shortcut helpers, loading copy, and provider status formatting into dedicated modules.
• Updated the browser preview API to reuse shared renderer defaults instead of carrying a duplicate copy.
• Added scripts/clean-release.mjs and wired pnpm package to clear stale release artifacts before packaging.
• Expanded repository contributor guidance with project structure, validation commands, style conventions, and security notes.

Fixes And Reliability

• Kept the settings button pinned at the bottom of the history sidebar while long history lists scroll independently.
• Improved provider pill truncation so long provider/model status text stays contained.
• Removed the textarea hover tooltip for the / focus shortcut while keeping the keyboard shortcut itself.
• Preserved existing CSS class names and IPC/storage behavior during the renderer architecture split.

Notes

• This is an unsigned macOS build. macOS may require allowing the app manually from System Settings when opening it for the first time.
• The current release targets Apple Silicon macOS (arm64).
• oolong depends on locally installed provider CLIs. Install and authenticate Codex or Claude before using the corresponding provider.

v0.3.0...v0.4.0

oolong v0.3.0

oolong v0.3.0 focuses on faster system-wide capture, clearer keyboard controls, and more polished main-screen output. It adds a global clipboard query shortcut, organizes shortcut settings into their own tab, and improves the readability and alignment of the composer output area.

Downloads

• oolong-0.3.0-arm64.dmg
• oolong-0.3.0-arm64-mac.zip

Included Features

• Added a configurable global shortcut for reading the current clipboard, opening oolong, filling the textarea, and immediately running the selected query context.
• Added a dedicated Shortcuts settings tab for configuring the Open oolong and Query clipboard text shortcuts.
• Added Cmd/Ctrl+B to collapse or expand the history sidebar from the main window.
• Added visible shortcut metadata to the sidebar toggle control.
• Improved textarea placeholder copy with clearer paste/type guidance and the / focus shortcut hint.
• Updated README settings documentation for the new Shortcuts tab and clipboard query workflow.

Fixes And Reliability

• Improved window event delivery so focus, settings, service input, and clipboard query events wait for the renderer to finish loading when a window is recreated.
• Prevented duplicate shortcut registration when two configured global shortcuts use the same accelerator.
• Kept empty clipboard shortcut activation from submitting an empty query; it now only opens and focuses oolong.
• Kept the clipboard query workflow on the currently selected context.
• Improved output layout by aligning loading state width with the textarea.
• Wrapped output results in a consistent bordered panel for better readability.
• Refined shortcut labels to use action-oriented names instead of implementation-oriented labels.

Notes

• This is an unsigned macOS build. macOS may require allowing the app manually from System Settings when opening it for the first time.
• The current release targets Apple Silicon macOS (arm64).
• oolong depends on locally installed provider CLIs. Install and authenticate Codex or Claude before using the corresponding provider.

Fixes And Reliability

• Fixed sidebar divider visual artifacts by rendering a 1px divider with a wider invisible drag target.
• Fixed sidebar divider stacking so it no longer appears above the Settings modal.

• Reduced narrow-width layout jitter by removing breakpoint-driven spacing changes in the main screen.
• Kept the History Clear button aligned to the right of the History title at narrow sidebar widths.

Notes

• This is an unsigned macOS build. macOS may require allowing the app manually from System Settings when opening it for the first time.
