0.2.0 - 2026-08-18

New

  • Code fences carry a language icon for 50 languages instead of 18. Perl, Lua, Swift,
    Kotlin, Scala, Haskell, Elixir, Erlang, Clojure, OCaml, Julia, R, Dart, Zig, Nim,
    Crystal, Groovy, Prolog, C#, F#, PowerShell, assembly, Vim script, XML, CSV, TeX,
    Make, Terraform, GraphQL, Vue and Svelte are now named, along with more spellings of
    the languages that were already there. An unnamed language still gets the generic
    code icon.

Changed

  • The scrollbar track is a column of dots rather than an unbroken line. The thumb moves
    in half cells, so its end lands mid-cell on every second scroll step; against a solid
    rule the line alternately met the thumb and stood a half cell clear of it, and the
    flicker at that join was more visible than the smoothness it came from.

Fixed

  • Bold, italic, struck-through and linked text inside a striped table row keeps the
    stripe. Those styles were defined as body text plus a mark, and body text names the
    page background, so each run repainted the band it stood on — a page-coloured box
    around the letters for exactly as long as the run. Inline code already avoided this;
    now no inline style carries a background at all. Bold link text also keeps the link
    colour instead of reverting to body ink.

  • The release workflow builds its Intel bottle on macos-15-intel. It asked for
    macos-13, which GitHub retired in December 2025, and a retired image does not fail a
    job — it leaves it queued for the 24 hours GitHub waits before cancelling it. The
    bottle-publishing step waits on the whole matrix, so nothing was published at all:
    v0.1.2 shipped with an empty bottle block and no bottles on the release, despite the
    arm64 one having built successfully. Intel bottles now cover macOS 15 and later, which
    is as far back as the last Intel runner image reaches.

0.1.2 - 2026-08-18

New

  • Releases now ship Homebrew bottles for macOS. Without one, Homebrew treats the
    formula as a source build even though nothing in it is compiled, and refuses to
    install on a Mac whose Command Line Tools are older than its macOS. One bottle per
    architecture covers later macOS releases too.

Changed

  • The Homebrew instructions now include brew trust --formula oetiker/mdmost/mdmost.
    Homebrew 6.0 stopped loading formulae from third-party taps until they are trusted, so
    brew install mdmost alone no longer finds the formula.

Fixed

  • mdmost with no arguments at a terminal prints its help and exits instead of hanging.
    It read standard input whenever no file was named, so bare mdmost sat waiting on a
    terminal nobody was typing into, which is indistinguishable from a hang. mdmost -
    still reads standard input on purpose, and cat x.md | mdmost is unchanged.
  • The release no longer tags a commit whose Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock disagree
    about the version, which is what stopped v0.1.1 from reaching crates.io. The
    version bump refreshed the lock with cargo update --offline, but that job never
    fetches the registry, so the resolve failed on the first dependency it looked up —
    and a trailing || true swallowed it. cargo publish then re-resolved, rewrote
    Cargo.lock itself, and refused to publish a dirty tree. The lock update now runs
    online, is not allowed to fail quietly, and is checked before the commit is made;
    cargo publish --locked names the lock if it is ever stale again. Cargo.lock is
    brought up to 0.1.1 here, so the tree is consistent again.

0.1.0 - 2026-08-16

New

  • A full-screen terminal pager for a single Markdown document: styled Unicode
    rendering, real table borders with negotiated column widths, syntax-highlighted
    code fences, and Mermaid diagrams laid out as box art.
  • Rendering is a pure function of (document, width, theme, options), so a resize
    reflows everything.
  • Section numbering, a FIGlet title banner, a contents pane, literal and regex
    search, themes, and a configuration file at ~/.config/mdmost/config.toml.
  • Mouse support behind --mouse: the wheel scrolls, the scrollbar drags, and
    contents entries jump.
  • A selection is a range over the document rather than a rectangle of cells. It hugs
    the text, opens and closes mid-line, survives a reflow because it is anchored in
    source offsets, and reaches inside a code fence and a table cell. A drag copies the
    Markdown source behind it.
  • Code blocks and tables carry a [copy] button. A table arrives as tab-separated
    values, and as HTML where the clipboard carries flavours; a code block arrives
    without its fences. The status bar names which of the four it gave you.
  • Links react and can be followed. Hovering lights the whole control however many rows
    it wrapped across, and the status bar names the host before you commit to it. A
    click opens http and https in your browser; every other scheme is inert. A
    #fragment scrolls to the heading it names, folded through the same slug rule
    headings use.
  • A footnote marker opens the note in a box beside it, scrolled with the cursor keys
    without moving the page.
  • A keyboard cursor reaches every control without a mouse: f and F walk the
    document's links, buttons and footnote markers, scrolling each into view, and
    enter follows the one it stopped on.
  • Prebuilt binaries for Linux (static musl, x86_64 and aarch64), macOS (Intel and
    Apple silicon) and Windows, with .deb and .rpm packages, a Homebrew tap in this
    repository, and publication to crates.io.

Changed

  • The documentation is one manual with three faces. docs/manual.md is the single
    source for every key, option and config field; man/mdmost.1 is generated from
    it by make man and is no longer kept in git; the README is a 30-second pitch
    that links to the rest. A new terminal-setup section says which Unicode blocks
    your font has to cover, and a test keeps that list matching the renderer.
  • The licence file is named LICENSE rather than LICENSE-MIT, which is the name
    forges, packagers and licence scanners look for. Both packages now install it to
    /usr/share/doc/mdmost/LICENSE.
