Neon Vision Editor v0.8.4

[v0.8.4] - 2026-07-06

Why Upgrade

• Improves day-to-day editor interaction with toolbar hover labels, stronger find-panel focus, VIM arrow-key navigation, and a more useful macOS sidebar terminal.
• Hardens Markdown preview, custom AI endpoint validation, and GitHub Pages deployment so common user workflows are less likely to fail during active editing or release updates.
• Stabilizes macOS compatibility follow-up for tab hit testing, release metadata, and post-0.8.3 App Store review cleanup.

Highlights

• Added hover labels for toolbar buttons, improved find-panel typing focus and contrast, and expanded VIM normal-mode movement to physical arrow keys.
• Upgraded the macOS sidebar terminal from single-command execution to a persistent sidebar shell session for common git, npm, node, and docker-style commands.
• Serialized GitHub Pages deployments so fast successive pushes do not cancel or race active Pages publishes.

Fixes

• Fixed custom AI provider validation so localhost endpoints can be used intentionally while public remote endpoints still require HTTPS.
• Coalesced Markdown preview reloads to reduce redundant refreshes during active typing and avoid avoidable WebView churn.
• Stabilized the sidebar terminal shell startup by avoiding interactive-shell assumptions in the pipe-backed implementation.
• Restored reliable macOS 15 tab mouse hit testing and kept release/download metadata fresh for the 0.8.4 release line.
