Chronicler v0.59.1-alpha

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 23 Aug 16:23

🔄 Changed

  • Community: The mascot contest splash has been updated for the final round: Birdie Evolved vs the Librarian! Cast your vote!

Installation & Notes

  • 💻 Windows: Download the .msi file to install.
  • 🐧 Linux: Download the .AppImage (for most distributions) or the .deb / .rpm file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below.
  • 🍎 macOS: Download the aarch64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or x64.dmg (Intel) file.

📦 Flatpak (recommended on rolling distros)

Adds Chronicler as a Flatpak remote so future updates flow through flatpak update:

flatpak install --user --from https://flatpak.chronicler.pro/chronicler.flatpakref

Or one-shot install the bundle from this release:

flatpak install --user Chronicler.flatpak

⚠️ A Note for Windows Users

When you first run the installer, Microsoft Defender may show a "Windows protected your PC" screen. This is expected because Chronicler is a new application from an independent developer and is not yet code-signed.

To proceed, simply click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

🍎 A Note for macOS Users

Chronicler for macOS is currently unsigned. The first time you open it, you will need to run a command in the Terminal.

  1. Download the .dmg file and move the app to your Applications folder.
  2. Open the Terminal app.
  3. Run this command:
    sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/chronicler.app
  4. The app will now open correctly.

🛡️ Security & Trust

While the initial installer is unsigned, all in-app updates are cryptographically signed by me. This is handled by Tauri's built-in updater, which verifies the update signature before installing it. This ensures that all future updates are authentic and have not been tampered with.

🔄 Changed

  • Community: The mascot contest splash now shows all eight round-two finalists at once, reshuffled on every launch. Go vote for your favourite!

🐞 Fixed

✨ Added

@github-actions github-actions released this 03 Jul 10:27

🐞 Fixed

  • Fonts: Fixed custom fonts silently failing to load on Windows, causing the application to fall back to the default font.
  • Infoboxes: Fixed a bug where saving an infobox with long field values could produce invalid YAML, corrupting the page's frontmatter. Also added a clear error message when an infobox detects existing malformed frontmatter on save, instead of crashing.
