Umbra v0.5.0-alpha.1

Test build validating Windows and Linux release packaging (CI infra only, no user-facing changes).

Umbra v0.4.0

[en]
Images and PDF have been rebuilt. Images now works as a queue: drop or pick several files at once, and each converts and reports on its own. You can resize on the way out, export to AVIF, pick the background color for a transparent-to-opaque conversion, and compare the result against the original with a before/after slider. PDF gets real page previews. Select a range and extract it to a new document, or merge it into another PDF you already have open — both now work reliably on large documents. Malformed and hostile PDFs are handled more safely too. Update notifications now show release notes in your own language, starting with this one.

Images et PDF ont été reconstruits. Images fonctionne désormais comme une file d'attente : déposez ou sélectionnez plusieurs fichiers à la fois, chacun se convertit et rend compte séparément. Vous pouvez redimensionner à la conversion, exporter en AVIF, choisir la couleur d'arrière-plan pour une conversion transparent-vers-opaque, et comparer le résultat à l'original avec un curseur avant/après. PDF affiche désormais de vrais aperçus de pages. Sélectionnez une plage et extrayez-la vers un nouveau document, ou fusionnez-la dans un autre PDF déjà ouvert — les deux fonctionnent désormais de façon fiable sur les documents volumineux. Les PDF malformés ou malveillants sont également traités plus prudemment. Les notifications de mise à jour affichent désormais les notes de version dans votre langue, à partir de celle-ci.

Umbra v0.3.0

Five tools have been rebuilt this release, and the Bucket has been split into three.

Image to Text now works like Live Text. Your image stays on screen and the recognised text sits selectable directly on top of it, instead of being dumped into a separate box. Regions the engine wasn't sure about are marked on the image rather than reduced to a confidence score, and Cmd-F searches within them. Sideways photos work now — orientation was previously ignored, so a rotated phone photo full of text would come back as "no text found". Text also comes back in reading order rather than detection order, and detection runs at a higher resolution than before.

Image to Text, PDF and Images are three separate tools in the sidebar now. They were only ever grouped under "Bucket" because that is where the scaffolding put them.

Base64 is a single live view. Text converts as you type, data URIs are built, decoded and previewed in place, and binary output is reported honestly instead of guessed at. Encoded output can be line-wrapped.

UUID keeps v4 and v7 and adds format toggles for case, braces and hyphens, a short explanation of what each version is for, and bulk generation you can save straight to a file.

Hash lets you choose the algorithms instead of always returning a fixed set — SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA3-256, SHA3-512, MD5 and SHA-1. It hashes as you type, in hex or Base64, and a Verify panel checks a digest you paste against every selected algorithm at once. MD5 and SHA-1 are marked as weak where you would actually see them.

JWT decodes as you type. Header and payload each have their own copy button, time claims show both the relative and the absolute time, and a live clock re-evaluates expiry while you are looking at it. A token that is not signed is called out.

Cron replaces the free-text "describe the schedule in English" box with a guided builder that works identically in English and French. The cron-to-English direction stays and now shows a field-by-field breakdown alongside the sentence.

Umbra v0.2.1

The JSON tool has been completely rebuilt. It now has six tabs that all work on the same document: Explorer, Validate, Repair, Query, Diff, and Transform.

Explorer is a fast, searchable tree you can move through with the keyboard, and clicking a node copies its value or its JSONPath. Validate points to the exact line and column where something is wrong. Repair shows the fix before it touches anything, for trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys, comments, and unclosed brackets. Query runs JSONPath expressions. Diff compares two documents by structure rather than line by line. Transform turns a document into a matching TypeScript interface.

This is the first tool to get reworked like this. The rest are next.

Umbra also has a proper icon now, so the old Tauri placeholder is finally gone. macOS gets a rounded version of it.

A couple of smaller fixes: the tool text fields no longer turn straight quotes into curly ones, and buttons and spacing are consistent across all the tools.

Umbra v0.1.5

Umbra is now available in French — switch languages in Settings → Appearance.

Also fixes the update dialog: a readable release date, no duplicate notes, and proper keyboard focus.

Umbra v0.1.4

Release notes now reach the app.

Previously, every release shipped the same generic placeholder text no matter what actually changed. This release fixes that: what you're reading right now came straight from the tag's own message, proving the fix end-to-end.
