MDHero v0.2.1
What's new in v0.2.1
A small but meaningful release focused on how MDHero tells you about updates — and giving you ways to find out yourself.
Update notifications
- Home tab banner — when a new version is out, you'll see an inline banner above your recents/pinned folders. Cleaner than waiting for the floating toast to catch your eye.
- "Check for Updates…" menu item — under the MDHero menu. Bypasses the 24h throttle, useful when you want to see if there's something new right now.
- Smarter dismissal — clicking "Later" now hides only that specific version. When the next release ships, you'll see the new banner again. No more "Later" forever.
Update infrastructure
- MDHero now checks
mdhero.app/api/version(withapi.github.comas a fallback). This lets us see aggregate update-check counts for sizing the project without storing any user data. - The request sends only your current version and OS family (
darwin/win32/linux). No device IDs, no IPs in storage, no telemetry. SECURITY.md has the full disclosure.
Carried over from v0.2.0
The lightweight in-app editor (Cmd+E to edit, Cmd+S to save) and source-line scroll sync.
