New Features

  • Automatic Updates: Integrated the Sparkle framework to keep the application up-to-date with the latest features and security fixes.
  • What's New: Introduced a "What's New" welcome screen powered by WhatsNewKit to highlight key changes upon updating.
  • Localization: Achieved full interface localization for English and Simplified Chinese, including all menus, toolbars, and settings.

Bug Fixes

  • Release Automation: Final hardening of Sparkle private key injection and appcast generation to resolve Keychain and path issues.
  • Build System: Fixed incorrect app bundle selection (Sparkle's Updater.app vs MDWriter.app).
  • Window State Restoration: Implemented window frame and sidebar state persistence. The application now correctly remembers its size, position, and sidebar visibility across launches.
  • WhatsNewKit Persistence: Fixed an issue where the "What's New" screen would not automatically appear on the first launch after an update by explicitly syncing version identifiers.
  • Swift 6 Concurrency: Resolved ObservableObject and @MainActor isolation conflicts in the Updater component.
  • Sendable Model Transfers: Re-engineered the note drag-and-drop mechanism using a NoteTransfer proxy struct to comply with Swift 6 strict concurrency requirements for non-sendable SwiftData models.
  • Redundant Conformance: Removed redundant Sendable declarations in MarkdownTextStorage and Note model to eliminate compiler warnings.

Improvements

  • Menu Integration: Added dedicated menu items for "Check for Updates" and "What's New" in the application and help menus.
  • Hardcoded String Cleanup: Audited the codebase to replace hardcoded strings with localized keys, ensuring a consistent experience across languages.
  • Development Tooling: Prepared support for XCStringsTool to streamline future localization workflows.
  • Automatic Update Settings: Added a new "Updates" section in General Settings with a toggle to control automatic update checking.
  • Sparkle Integration: Optimized the Sparkle updater with better state handling and added the necessary EdDSA public key for secure update verification.
  • Help Menu: Added a "What's New" item to the Help menu for manual access to version highlights.
  • Dependency Patching: Applied source-level fixes to the XCStringsTool dependency to resolve @retroactive attribute conflicts during compilation.
