0.4.0 - Faster editing, richer source control, and safer releases

BriskEdit 0.4.0 is a larger editor and tooling release. It remains an unsigned
developer preview; on first launch, right-click BriskEdit.app, choose Open,
and confirm.

Added

  • Tree-sitter highlighting for Swift and JSON. Compiled grammar
    configurations are cached, with instant fallback highlighting while a grammar
    warms up.
  • Low Power, Adaptive, and Power modes. Background work responds to system
    power and thermal state; Power mode can prepare grammars ahead of first use.
  • A guided first-run experience. Onboarding configures performance, theme,
    editor basics, and source control. A new welcome screen surfaces recent folders
    and common actions.
  • Richer source control context. Inline blame, file-tree status badges,
    colored file icons, an activity-bar sidebar, and clickable breadcrumbs keep
    repository state visible without leaving the editor.
  • The briskedit command-line launcher. An optional shorter brisk alias is
    installed only when that name is available.
  • An in-app What's New page shown after updates.

Improved

  • Large-file editing. Expensive editor features ease off automatically above
    4 MB, with accurate line numbers and file-size reporting preserved.
  • Git refresh behavior. Status scans are coalesced, paths with Unicode,
    newlines, and renames are parsed safely, and decorations refresh after saves.
  • Resource safety. Formatter requests, subprocesses, watchers, debounce
    tasks, and per-tab LSP state are bounded and released predictably.
  • Reproducible builds. Swift packages are locked to committed revisions and
    package updates are disabled during CI and release builds.

Release Engineering

  • CI now runs warnings-as-errors tests, a real DMG smoke build, shell and workflow
    linting, dependency review, Gitleaks history scanning, promo-tooling audit and
    type checks, and CodeQL analysis.
  • Release jobs require a verified signed annotated tag reachable from main,
    retest the tagged source, validate DMG/ZIP/appcast metadata and signatures,
    publish SHA-256 checksums, and attach GitHub provenance attestations.
  • Third-party GitHub Actions are pinned to immutable commits. Dependabot security
    updates, dependency review, secret scanning, and push protection are enabled.

Compatibility

  • macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, Apple silicon.
