MarkLens 1.0.0

The first release. A small, fast, read-only Markdown viewer for Windows and
Ubuntu — GFM rendering with highlighted code, images and a front-matter panel;
sidebar, tabs, outline, find in file and across open files; auto-reload on
external change; and an English, Vietnamese or Japanese interface.

It never writes to your documents. Its only writes are two JSON files in its own
config directory, and the only network traffic is an opt-in update check.

Before you install

Windows needs the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x64).
Flutter links against the MSVC runtime and does not bundle it, so on a Windows
that has never had one installed — a fresh machine, a VM, a Sandbox — MarkLens
will not start, and the message names VCRUNTIME140_1.dll or MSVCP140.dll
rather than anything useful. Most machines already have it. This applies to the
portable zip as well as the installer.

The installer is not code-signed, so SmartScreen will warn on download.
Verify with SHA256SUMS below instead. Windows may also ask "How do you want to
open this?" once — an installer can register a handler but cannot set the
default, which Windows reserves for a choice you make yourself.

On Debian/Ubuntu use apt, not dpkg -i — dpkg does not resolve
dependencies:

sudo apt install ./marklens_1.0.0_amd64.deb

The .deb is built on Ubuntu 22.04 for glibc compatibility and is verified on
26.04.1. The AppImage needs no install; chmod +x and run.

Verify your download

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing

Tested on

Windows 10, Windows 11 Sandbox, Ubuntu 26.04.1.
