Feather MD v1.6.0

New Features

• Page Breaks Support (<pb>): You can now structure your PDF export layouts by inserting <pb> page break tags.
• Page Break Visibility Toggle: Toggle the visibility of the visual dashed line for <pb> markers in the preview pane via the View > Show Page Breaks menu or using the new shortcut Alt + P.
• Rich Document Statistics: The status bar now displays individual counts for Words, Characters, and Paragraphs instead of just words.
• Accurate Statistics Counting: Markdown formatting characters (such as links, code block fences, tables, checklists) are now stripped out of raw text before counting for higher statistical accuracy.
• Selection Stats: Highlight any text in the editor to immediately see the selected word, character, and paragraph count in the status bar.
• Distraction-Free Printing: Headings are prevented from being orphaned at the bottom of pages, and tables, code blocks, or blockquotes will avoid page splits when printing or exporting to PDF.

Improvements & Usability

• Window Dragging: The application window can now be dragged by clicking and dragging the main title bar, with button and menu interactions protected from accidental drag events.

Bug Fixes & Chores

• Resolved a linter error related to an unused catch variable.
• Fixed backtick rendering and escaped tags within the Welcome document.
• Updated UI unit tests to align with status bar elements and view items.
