Tilde v1.2.1

Tilde 1.2.1

Reader shows task lists as checkboxes, and text files with no extension open in Tilde.

New

• Task lists in Reader. A list item that starts with [ ] or [x] shows an empty or checked box in place of its bullet or number, in any list and at any depth. Checked items are dimmed, with no strikethrough. The boxes are read-only: edit [ ] and [x] in the editor, where they now dim like list markers. (#12)

Fixes

• Files with no extension. SSH keys (id_ed25519, id_ed25519.pub), Dockerfile, .gitignore, .env, and other text files whose names macOS doesn't recognize as text now open in Tilde from Open With and File ▸ Open. They open as plain text, and ⌘S saves them in place under the same name and permissions. Tilde doesn't become the default app for them. An image, a PDF, or another binary file picked this way is refused with a short alert. (#29)
