ResearchLoom v4.3.2: Multi-Platform Desktop & Tablet Release

ResearchLoom (also known as Samhita) is an autonomous academic literature synthesis engine, flow canvas explorer, and interactive research workbench. Version 4.3.2 introduces official multi-platform releases across Windows, macOS, and Android Tablets.

What's New & Included in v4.3.2

1. Multi-Platform Binary Packages

  • Windows Standalone Executable (\ResearchLoom.exe\ & \ResearchLoom-windows-x64.zip):

2. Hardware Active Stylus & S-Pen Architecture

  • Pressure Dynamics: Dynamic stroke thickness responsive to Samsung S-Pen and USI hardware pressure curves:
    \text{line width} = \text{baseWidth} \times (0.4 + 1.6 \times \text{pressure})
