What's New in v0.2.0

🖼 Image Handling Overhaul

  • Local images: Reference original file path directly — no more copying to assets folder
  • Online images: New "Image URL" option to insert images from the web
  • Portable paths: Markdown files now use real file paths (relative/absolute), so images display correctly in VS Code, Typora, and other editors
  • Toolbar upgrade: Image button now opens a dropdown with "Local Image" and "Image URL" options

📐 Responsive Editor Width

  • Editor content now adapts to window size — no more fixed narrow width in fullscreen
  • Width options are now percentage-based: Narrow / Normal (90%) / Wide (95%) / Full (100%)

⚡ Performance Improvements

  • Adaptive auto-save debounce for large files (>50KB), reducing input lag
  • Batched toolbar state updates via requestAnimationFrame to prevent excessive re-renders
  • Async content loading when switching to large files, keeping the UI responsive

🪟 Window Management Fixes

  • Fixed ghost windows remaining after opening documents from different folders
  • macOS: Clicking the Dock icon now reopens the app when all windows are closed

🔐 macOS Code Signing & Notarization

  • macOS builds are now signed with Apple Developer ID and notarized
  • No more "can't be opened" security warnings — just double-click to install

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed images breaking after toggling between source mode and preview mode
  • Fixed CSP policy blocking external image URLs

Platforms: macOS (Universal) · Windows (x64) · Linux (AppImage / deb)
