Marky 0.3.3

Fixed

• The end-to-end smoke test now passes WebView2 debugging arguments through to its test window, and pane-toggle accessibility state stays correct when switching tabs.

Install

Windows x64. Download Marky_0.3.3_x64-setup.exe (per-user install, no admin prompt) or the portable ZIP.

Marky 0.2.9

Removed

• Inserted text: ++inserted++ now stays as typed. Only one Markdown library understood it, and everywhere else the plus signs show literally. ==marked== stays.

Marky 0.2.8

Added

• Subscript and superscript: H~2~O and 19^th^ show as H₂O and 19ᵗʰ in the preview, and small and shifted in the editor. ~~strikethrough~~, code and math are unaffected.
• Inserted and marked text: ++inserted++ is underlined and ==marked== highlighted, in the editor and the preview.
• Footnotes: [^1] references with [^1]: … definitions, and inline ^[…] footnotes, listed at the end of the preview. Clicking a footnote number jumps to its definition.
• Definition lists in the preview: a term on one line, then its definition on a line starting with : .
• Abbreviations in the preview: define one with *[HTML]: Hyper Text Markup Language and every HTML in the document shows the full form on hover.

Removed

Marky targets Markdown documents, not one platform's flavour of them, so syntax that only one site understands is gone from the preview:

• GitHub alerts: > [!NOTE], [!TIP] and the rest now show as ordinary blockquotes.
• Emoji shortcodes: :rocket: stays as typed.
• GitHub-style heading ids: headings no longer get ids, so #heading links no longer jump. Footnote links still do.

Install

Windows x64. Download Marky_0.2.8_x64-setup.exe (per-user install, no admin prompt) or the portable ZIP.

Marky 0.2.7

Added

• Emoji shortcodes in the preview: :rocket:, :+1:, :tada: and the rest of GitHub's names show as emoji. Text smileys like :) stay as you typed them, and shortcodes inside code are left alone.
• Smart typography in the preview: straight quotes become curly, -- and --- become en and em dashes, ... becomes an ellipsis, and (c), (r), (tm) and +- become ©, ®, ™ and ±. Code and math are left alone. It is on by default; turn it off in Settings if you write things like --force without backticks.

Install

Windows x64. Download Marky_0.2.7_x64-setup.exe (per-user install, no admin prompt) or the portable ZIP.

Marky 0.2.6

Changed

• Marky gives memory back when you leave it alone: after 30 seconds without a key press, click or scroll (and while minimised) it drops from about 99 MB to about 77 MB for a typical document. The first key press afterwards takes a few milliseconds longer.
• Editing large documents is much smoother: the preview now updates only the part you changed instead of redrawing everything. On a 1 MB file the longest freeze drops from 0.9 s to 0.1 s, typing latency from 30 ms to 18 ms, and memory while typing from 1.5 GB to 0.57 GB. On a 4 MB file typing goes from 67 ms to 19 ms. Diagrams stay drawn while you edit elsewhere.

Fixed

• No more white flash when opening Marky in dark mode: the window used to show white for about 0.65 s before the editor appeared. It now starts in the theme's own colour, for System, Light and Dark.

Install

Windows x64. Download Marky_0.2.6_x64-setup.exe (per-user install, no admin prompt) or the portable ZIP.

Marky 0.2.5

Changed

• Faster startup: a cold start now takes about 816 ms instead of 924 ms on the test laptop. The startup code is 23% smaller, and WebView2 starts one process fewer.
• Lower memory use: about 104 MB idle instead of 110 MB, and about 70 MB while Marky is minimised.

Fixed

• Changing two settings in quick succession could save the older value.

Marky 0.2.4

Added

• Hide the editor for a preview-only reading view: the panel button beside the settings gear, View → Editor, Ctrl+Shift+E, or Settings → Show editor. The choice is remembered.

Changed

• Hiding the editor or the preview turns the other one on, so the window never goes empty.
• Find and Replace bring the editor back when it is hidden.

Added

• A + button after the last tab opens a new tab, like Ctrl+N.
