Plain 0.2.0 — the second release, one day after the first.

New

  • split view: edit on the left, the rendered page on the right, updating as you type.
  • Paste an image from the clipboard or drop one onto the editor; it is saved to assets/ next to the note and linked in the text.
  • Autosave (Ctrl+, → files.autosave, off by default).
  • Version history: a snapshot of every save, kept for thirty days, with restore and compare (file → version history…).
  • compare on the "file changed on disk" banner shows a line-by-line diff before you decide.
  • Library screen (Ctrl+Alt+L): every note with dates and word counts, sortable, filterable by #tag.
  • Tags and backlinks in the sidebar.
  • Export to HTML, plain text, and PDF via print; copy as plain text.
  • Focus mode (F8 or Ctrl+Alt+F).
  • Portable mode on Windows: a data folder next to plain.exe keeps settings, drafts, and history there.
  • Menu bar, settings screen (Ctrl+,), shortcuts screen (F1), floating format panel above a selection, rich view with hidden markup.
  • Context menus in the editor and the reading view; recent libraries; zoom remembered between runs.

macOS

  • First macOS build, universal (Apple Silicon and Intel), produced by CI. It is ad-hoc signed: see the README for the first-launch steps. Not yet tested on a real Mac by the author.

Fixed

  • Quick search finds Cyrillic file names.
  • Reading position is restored exactly; the metadata line above the title no longer hides.
  • Many saving edge cases found in review: reloads, restores, and closes always re-check the live buffer before replacing or discarding text.

Windows: unpack the zip and run plain.exe (SmartScreen: More info → Run anyway). macOS: open the dmg, drag to Applications, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
