v0.8.0

Podlite Desktop 0.8.0

Live =include in the Preview

=include file:X resolves on the fly. Edit an included file in another window and the host document's preview refreshes via the file watcher. Glob patterns (file:**/*.podlite | defn) expand against the document's directory.

Image Paste and Drag-Drop

Paste a clipboard image or drop a file into the editor — it lands as =picture media/<name> next to the document. Drop a file that already lives in media/ and it's referenced in place without copying.

=config and :numbered Render Per Spec

=config head1 :numbered and :folded defaults now apply to every matching block, including :numbered heading prefixes (1., 2.1., 2.2.). Per-block :!numbered / :!folded overrides honoured. Includes the long-standing block preconfiguration gap reported in #53.

Full Changelog

New:

• inline image paste and drag-drop — clipboard images and dropped files save to media/ next to the document and insert =picture media/<name>
• =include file:X resolves in the preview at render time, with mtime-keyed cache and a recursive watcher that re-renders on external edits
• glob patterns in =include expand via depth-bounded directory walk
• automatic numbering for :numbered headings — rendered as N.M.K. prefix; :!numbered per-block override honoured

Fixed:

• double window on launch when opening a file from Finder or by drag-onto-icon (#57)
• File → Open no longer replaces the currently-open document — opens the new file in a fresh window; empty untitled windows still accept the opened file in place (#56)
• Cmd+S on an untitled document now opens the Save-As dialog instead of doing nothing (#55)
• =picture rendering in the preview pane — absolute and relative-to-document paths both display correctly (#58)
• external-edit reload after atomic writes (IDE autosave, sync tools) — watch the parent directory instead of the file
• attach IPC listeners once per mount instead of every render

Spec conformance (via @podlite/* libs rebuild):

• :folded on =head folds the whole section recursively, including headings inside =begin nested/=defn
• =config block preconfiguration is now applied at render time — previously parsed but ignored
• single-letter =alias identifiers accepted per spec
• =alias no longer leaks state into the next =begin/=end block's syntax highlighting
• =TITLE/=NAME/=SYNOPSIS/=Diagram and other semantic/custom blocks in abbreviated form recognised by the editor highlighter
• =row, =cell, =data-table, =boundary, =set, G<>, :masked recognised in the editor highlighter (spec v2.0)

Acknowledgements

Several of this release's fixes started as a careful bug report by @schueani in #53 — thanks for the diagnosis and follow-up.
