Kanyx 1.0.2 — Attachment Safety & Reliability

[zehnzwanzig]

Kanyx 1.0.2 is a maintenance update focused on safer file handling and more reliable card editing. The app remains free, portable, open-source (MIT for Kanyx itself), and fully offline.

What's changed

• More control when deleting tasks: When a task has attachments, choose to delete its files, keep the files in data/attachments/, or cancel. The dialog is localized for all 13 interface languages. Kept files are no longer associated with the deleted task.
• Safer attachment operations: Stored filenames are checked more strictly so a malformed or manipulated attachment record cannot cause a file outside the attachment directory to be deleted.
• Reliable saving: If saving an attachment fails, an existing task's edits and attachment changes are rolled back instead of being partially applied.
• Missing attachments: Trying to open an attachment that was removed from the filesystem now produces a useful warning instead of blindly opening a broken file URL.
• Duplicate tags: Case-insensitive repeats (e.g. blue, BLUE, blue) no longer cause a SQLite unique-constraint error.
• Literal search: % and _ are treated as normal search characters, not SQL wildcard syntax.
• Additional tests: Expanded automated regression and stress tests cover unusual Unicode, large and empty attachments, export/import validation, attachment lifecycle, and failure rollback.

Compatibility and upgrading

• No database schema migration is required from 1.0.1.
• Back up your workspace before updating. Ideally export a complete .kanyx workspace using the existing application.
• Extract the new release into a fresh directory and copy your existing data/ directory next to the executable. Do not replace your existing workspace with an empty directory.
• On Windows keep Kanyx.exe and _internal/ together. Linux x64 remains experimental and has not been fully GUI-validated across distributions.

Licenses and verification

Kanyx's own source is MIT licensed. Qt/PySide6 and other bundled dependencies have their own licenses. The separate Kanyx-Qt-sources-6.12.0.zip source package can be reused only after confirming the release builds still ship Qt/PySide6 6.12.0. Full corresponding-source, attribution and library replacement obligations require independent verification. See THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md and docs/RELEASE_COMPLIANCE.md.
