Overview

  • Fix Adaptive Card TextBlock and Fact text so Markdown soft breaks (\n) render as visible
    line breaks in the in-app Canvas renderer and PDF export, matching the line breaks already
    produced by PowerPoint export.
  • Decouple Desktop package data generation from the npm CLI runtime so Windows builds no longer
    depend on the state of the generated packages/markdstage-cli/shared/ mirror.
  • Keep the shared product version aligned at 4.2.8 across the Canvas Extension, Skill, npm CLI,
    and Desktop.

Compatibility and migration

This patch release is backward compatible with existing MarkdStage Markdown decks and the v4
installation model. There are no breaking changes or new runtime requirements.

Area Migration
Version-pinned installation Update the pinned tag to v4.2.8.
Adaptive Cards No action is required; multiline TextBlock/Fact text now renders line breaks consistently across Canvas, PDF, and PowerPoint output.
Desktop builds No action is required; Desktop package data generation no longer requires a shared/ mirror to be present or up to date.
