Release Notes
Meridian is now cross-platform.
- This release brings Meridian to all three major desktop systems.
- The app that has always run on Windows is now available for macOS and Linux as well, and it is the same Meridian on each.
- The entire feed reading experience, with nothing held back on any platform.
One app, every desktop
| Platform | Available as | Tested on |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Installer | Windows 11 Pro |
| macOS | Disk image (.dmg) | macOS Sequoia |
| Linux | Flatpak | Ubuntu 26.04 LTS |
On macOS and Linux the experience matches Windows feature for feature. The Linux
edition is fully self-contained and is expected to work across most modern
distributions, not only the one it was tested on.
About dialog
- showed no icon; Licence dialog showed no text
Crash Diagnostics
When running as a frozen windowed app, stderr is /dev/null, making any crash
completely silent and undiagnosable.
Fix:
- On startup in frozen mode,
stdout/stderrare redirected to
~/Library/Logs/Meridian/meridian.log(created on demand). - A top-level
try/exceptaroundmain()writes the full traceback to that log
before exiting.
UI Fix
- Bulk Subscribe Dialog updated
- The "Subscribe N feeds" confirmation dialog and the post-subscribe result dialog
each showed only one feed URL because theDialoghad no explicit height.
Repository Hygiene
.gitignore updated appropriately
