Overview
- Open external HTTP(S) slide links in the host machine's default browser from CLI
presentandpreviewviews. - Route link handling through validated token-scoped loopback endpoints while preserving
the current slide. - Keep Node CLI, packaged Windows CLI, Canvas, and Desktop behavior aligned with browser
and server coverage for the new handoff.
Compatibility and migration
This release is backward compatible with existing MarkdStage Markdown decks and the v4
installation model. External HTTP(S) links opened from CLI slide views now hand off to the
host's default browser; no source changes are required.
| Area | Migration |
|---|---|
| Version-pinned installation | Update the pinned tag to v4.3.0. |
| CLI external links | No action is required; clicking an external HTTP(S) link opens the system default browser. |
