VersoCon — v0.3.0 — Release notes

✨ What's new

  • ✍️ Complete PDF editor — 17 tools: rotate, delete/reorder/insert/extract pages, watermark, text and stamps, sticky notes, highlight/underline, freehand ink, redaction, find & replace, Bates numbering, header/footer, fill PDF forms, sign (5 handwriting fonts or draw your own), password protect/unprotect and searchable OCR. Every change is now previewed live before you apply it, and edits chain: each result becomes the working document.
  • 🎨 New look, two themes — a dashboard-style Pro theme (default) and the original anime Manga theme, switchable in the header; a first-run welcome dialog lets you pick language, theme and (optionally) update checks.
  • 🔎 Scan cleanup — straighten tilted scans, remove shadows, adaptive black & white and 4-corner perspective crop, for both photos and scanned PDFs (OpenCV engine bundled).
  • 🛡️ Privacy controls — one-click removal of EXIF/GPS metadata from photos. Everything still runs 100% offline.
  • 🎬 More video tools — extract audio (MP3/M4A) and turn videos into animated GIFs; long jobs now show a real progress bar with a cancel button.
  • 🌍 8 languages — Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese.
  • ♿ Accessibility — measured WCAG contrast, visible keyboard focus and reduced-motion support across both themes.
  • 🔧 Better engine detection — ffmpeg and Tesseract are found automatically in WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop and standard install locations; a "Recheck" button picks up installs made while the app is open.
  • 🧪 Quality — the whole suite plus a real-browser end-to-end smoke test now run on every change.
  • Plus dozens of fixes: PDF text replacement preserves background and rotated text, protected PDFs open correctly in the editor, editor layout and translations cleaned up.

🔒 Is it safe? / È sicuro?

Yes — VersoCon is 100% local, open-source, with no telemetry and no account.
It runs entirely on your machine (127.0.0.1); nothing ever goes online.

Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" (SmartScreen)

This is normal for unsigned open-source software and does not mean VersoCon contains a virus.
Before you proceed, verify:

  1. SHA-256 — compare the hash of your downloaded file with the one on this release page
    (Windows: Get-FileHash versocon-setup-*.exe -Algorithm SHA256).
  2. VirusTotal (optional) — upload your copy at
    virustotal.com and check the result.
  3. Source code — the code that built this file is on
    github.com/hikarihasegawa/versocon.

If everything checks out, click More info → Run anyway / Esegui comunque.

Prefer an installer that never asks?

Install through a package manager:

winget install HikariHasegawa.VersoCon    # official Windows package manager (submission under review)
scoop bucket add HikariHasegawa https://github.com/HikariHasegawa/bucket
scoop install versocon                     # Scoop, from the author's bucket above (live now)

Sì — VersoCon è 100% locale, open-source, senza telemetria e senza account.
Ogni cosa gira sulla tua macchina (127.0.0.1); nessun file va mai online.

Windows mostra "Windows ha protetto il tuo PC" (SmartScreen)

È normale per software open-source non firmato e non indica la presenza di un virus.
Prima di procedere, verifica:

  1. SHA-256 — confronta l'hash del file scaricato con quello della pagina della release
    (Windows: Get-FileHash versocon-setup-*.exe -Algorithm SHA256).
  2. VirusTotal (facoltativo) — carica la tua copia su
    virustotal.com e controlla il risultato.
  3. Codice sorgente — chi ha costruito questo file è su
    github.com/hikarihasegawa/versocon.

Se tutto è OK → Altre informazioni → Esegui comunque.

Preferisci un canale che non chiede nulla?

Installa con un package manager:

winget install HikariHasegawa.VersoCon    # canale Microsoft (PR in attesa)
scoop bucket add HikariHasegawa https://github.com/HikariHasegawa/bucket
scoop install versocon                     # Scoop, dal bucket dell'autore qui sopra (già attivo)

FAQ

Q: Why does Windows warn me? / Perché Windows mi avvisa?
A: The installer is not digitally signed (a code-signing certificate requires a business entity — see roadmap). SmartScreen is a generic caution, not a malware report. / Non è firmato con certificato (serve una ditta — vedi roadmap). SmartScreen è una cautela generica, non un report di malware.

Q: How do I know it's not a virus? / Come so che non è un virus?
A: (1) The source is public on GitHub. (2) The binary you run is built from that source in a public GitHub Actions log.
