Release Notes

v1.8.0

Highlights

  • JSON themes : themes are now user-editable JSON files with light and dark variants, selectable from the Help menu.
  • Automatic system language : the interface follows the system locale on first launch, with English as fallback.
  • Scratch draft : text typed without an open project is autosaved and restored at startup.
  • Flathub : the app is published on Flathub as io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide.

Themes

  • Themes are JSON files stored in the themes/ config folder. default.json ships with both light and dark palettes, user themes can define one or both variants.
  • Help > Change theme lists the themes with their light/dark variants. A missing variant is disabled. Help > Open themes folder opens the folder in the file manager, and Reload re-reads it after editing a file.
  • The active theme path and variant are persisted, so the selection survives restarts. The old generated theme.json is no longer used.
  • schemas/theme.schema.json documents the JSON format for completion and validation in JSON editors.
  • The current theme is included in the configuration export (Settings section) and restored on import when the target theme file does not already exist.

Application identity

  • New identifier : the Tauri identifier is now io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide instead of com.typst.ide, to match the Flathub application ID. The app data/config directories change accordingly.
  • Automatic migration : on first launch, if the old directory exists and contains files, the app copies its contents to the new directory. The migration runs once, never overwrites non-empty destination files, and keeps the old directory as a backup.
    • Linux: ~/.config/com.typst.ide → ~/.config/io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide
    • Linux: ~/.local/share/com.typst.ide → ~/.local/share/io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide
    • Flatpak: ~/.var/app/io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide/config/com.typst.ide → ~/.var/app/io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide/config/io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide
    • Flatpak: ~/.var/app/io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide/data/com.typst.ide → ~/.var/app/io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide/data/io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\com.typst.ide → %APPDATA%\io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide
    • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\com.typst.ide → %LOCALAPPDATA%\io.github.gnoooo.typst-ide
  • Manual fallback : if the automatic migration fails, close the app and copy the contents of the old folders into the new ones. Do not copy the folder itself into the destination.

Improvements

  • System language : the UI now follows LANGUAGE, then LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES and LANG, instead of always defaulting to French. English is used when the locale is not French. The language setting still overrides the system locale.
  • Scratch draft : content typed while no project is open is autosaved to draft.typ in the app data folder and restored on the next startup.
  • Typst syntax highlighting : the Monarch grammar was rewritten with broader coverage, including math words, unclosed labels and mid-line strong/emphasis, and is covered by validation tests.
  • PDF export : success and error toasts, a visible shortcut on the "Save as PDF..." button, and Ctrl+S exports the PDF again.
  • Editor fonts : bundled fonts are now served correctly in development and production builds.
  • Performance : project loading is about 800 ms faster, and the system font list is scanned once and shared between font checks and suggestions.
  • Configuration import : notes and history imports are atomic, and an imported theme never overwrites an existing local theme.
  • Flathub : brand colors, release notes, a clearer summary/description, keywords and the IDE category were added to the AppStream metadata.

Fixes

  • Ctrl+E now toggles the compilation console globally, including when the editor does not have focus.
  • Bibliography : fixed stale .bib parsing when the file is edited outside Typst IDE.
  • Autosave : fixed a race on pending saves, and paste/project writes are now atomic.
  • Compiler : fixed handling of a poisoned mutex in the compile function.
  • Modals : close-all now closes every open modal, fixed HTML injection through modal/font settings, fixed history entry and notepad edit validation.
  • Package cache : Typst packages are trusted only when a .ok marker is present, stale or half-extracted directories are re-downloaded, and the default cache moved to ~/.cache/typst-ide.
  • Database imports : errors are reported instead of silently dropping rows.
  • Filesystem paths : commands use the canonical path returned by the sandbox check, and paths are stored only in the Rust backend.
  • AppImage : release artifacts are hashed, appimagetool is pinned to an immutable release, and only the built version's .deb/.rpm are published.

For developers

  • Build : frontend dist/ is untracked, the frontend build runs once through Tauri's beforeBuildCommand, manage.sh build honors --target, and container builds skip the prebuilt frontend.
  • Release checks : manage.sh and the pre-push hook share the same version consistency rule, releases fail on a tag/version mismatch or a missing .deb/.rpm, git hooks are installed with hooks/install.sh, and manage.sh check / flatpak-bump verify that the vendored npm sources cover the lockfile so offline Flatpak builds cannot fail on ENOTCACHED.
  • Tooling : manage.sh test [rust|front], scoped manage.sh clean, Flatpak sources/build/run/bump commands and CI job, shared version helpers, XSS sink tests, Vite/Vitest updates and a clippy-clean workspace.
  • Packaging : Flatpak cargo/npm sources regenerated against the current lockfiles, and the AppImage AppStream template now matches the Flatpak metadata.
  • Code quality : dead code removal, shared font cache, atomic writes, canonical sandbox paths, and a cleaned-up license file.
