0.4.3

What's new

• Course authoring can research current official references, with citations and consulted sources retained in its conversation. Search has its own setting and reports when a connection cannot support it.
• Improved course-writing guidance for connected explanations, worked examples, useful practice, and purposeful interactive visuals.
• Authors can find and import reusable images with source, author, and license credits. Images work offline, and credits remain visible beside the image through editing, export, and import.
• Clearer AI overload messages with an explicit Retry action that continues from current state and preserves completed edits.
• Smoother chat-panel transitions, preserved reading position, and chat history that opens without replaying recent message animations.

Course format 1.8 adds image attribution. Catalog server 0.1.6 provides compatible publishing support; older course archives remain importable.

Validation

All app, server, and website CI checks passed, including bundled Python integration and the committed exercise gate. App tests: 1,365 passed. Server tests: 52 passed. All 221 desktop smoke checks passed. Paid live AI evaluations were not run.

Full changelog: v0.4.2...v0.4.3

This build is not signed with an Apple Developer ID yet. The first time you open it, macOS says it cannot verify the app: close the message, open System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security, scroll to the note about OpenCourse and choose Open Anyway. You do this once for each version you download yourself; a version OpenCourse installs from Settings ▸ Updates opens without it.
