Chess Material Studio v2.6.0

First formal release under the Chess Material Studio name. It continues the work originally created by brianch as offline-chess-puzzles while establishing the current CMS scope.

  • Organize editorial work with Projects and Chapters, including persistent puzzle review decisions and selection workflows.
  • Export active chapters, marked chapters, and full projects as PGN or PDF.
  • Use the independent dark interface theme and improved PDF diagrams with figurine solutions.

Reliability and quality

  • Hardened puzzle import, download, search, favorites, settings, engine lifecycle, screenshot handling, and window persistence.
  • Removed restricted legacy assets and documented bundled third-party assets and licenses.
  • Uses the reproducible Rust 1.98.1 toolchain with rustfmt, strict Clippy, tests, and CI quality gates.
  • Includes contributor guidance and a security reporting policy.

Packages are available for Linux, macOS, Windows x86_64, and Windows i686.
