🚀 Zentauri Release Notes ​

ZenTauri v1.9.1 ​

  • Synchronous Mermaid Diagram Rendering via Pele (pele.run): Replaced the 2.5 MB mermaid library with Steph Ango's zero-dependency pele renderer (^1.13.0). Diagrams are compiled synchronously in the markdown-it pipeline without asynchronous DOM races, render flakiness, or debounce delays.
  • Bundle Reduction & Performance: Removed over 80 sub-dependencies and 20+ asynchronous vendor chunks, saving ~2.5 MB in distribution bundles and optimizing preview responsiveness.
  • Birchville Theming via CSS Custom Properties: Native --pele-* variables automatically style diagrams for Warm Ivory (#fcf9f2) and Candlelight Dark (#0a1628) themes without diagram re-rendering.
  • Standalone HTML Export Parity: Complete inline vector SVGs are embedded directly into generated HTML files, rendering without client JavaScript under strict Content Security Policy (script-src 'none').
  • In-Editor Sanskrit Compose-Key Shortcuts: Native CodeMirror 6 inputHandler for fluent scholarly IAST input in running prose (-a => ā, .r => ṛ, .m => ṃ, .h => ḥ, ~n => ñ, 's => ś, ~r => ṝ, etc.) with full ⌘Z undo support and dynamic toggle in Settings.

ZenTauri v1.9.0 ​

  • Bidirectional Transliteration Toggles & Anti-Nesting Logic: The ribbon commands for Sanskrit citations (《Skt》), signal highlights (:sig[...]), math formulas ($...$), and inline styling (**bold**, *italic*) now support smart toggling. Applying a format to already wrapped text or with a collapsed cursor inside the delimiters cleanly unwraps the content without duplicate nestings.
  • Balanced Delimiter Scanner: Built a left-to-right paired line scanner for symmetrical delimiters (**, $, `, ~~), ensuring reliable unwrapping and cursor detection across multiple formatted blocks on a single line.
  • Non-Closing Snippet Guard: Restricted inline toggle unwrapping strictly to paired containers (after.length > 0), ensuring prefixes such as # , > , and tables insert cleanly at cursor position without accidental word unwrapping.
  • Birchville Scholarly Synthesis 3-Pillar Fontstack: Fully harmonized font hierarchies across editor panes, previews, documentation portals, and standalone HTML exports using STIX Two Text for IAST and running text, paired with Murty Sanskrit and Noto Serif Devanagari fallbacks, Inter for UI, and monospace for code.
  • Bundled Offline Fonts: Integrated @fontsource/stix-two-text weights (400, 400i, 600, 600i, 700, 700i) directly into the app bundle for full offline readability.
  • Security & Secret Guards: Added standard .gitignore credential filters (.env*, *.pem, *.key, *.token, credentials.json, id_rsa*) and connected client-side Gitleaks pre-commit validation.

ZenTauri v1.8.2 ​

  • macOS Option Shortcut Resilience: Hardened global keyboard shortcuts (⌘⌥P, ⌘⌥D, ⌘⌥H) by checking physical keycodes (KeyP, KeyD, KeyH) alongside e.key, preventing macOS Alt/Option character mapping (e.g. π, ∂) from breaking PDF-QA toggle and Sanskrit transliteration shortcuts.
  • Isolated Undo/Redo & History State: Restricted global ⌘Z / ⌘⇧Z / ⌘Y shortcuts to fire only when focus is outside active text inputs, textareas, and the CodeMirror instance. Tab switching and buffer reloads now reset history tracking deterministically.
  • Transliteration Directive Parser Hardening: Replaced greedy regular expressions in transformPreservingDirectives with a balanced bracket scanner. Sanskrit annotations with nested brackets (e.g. :sig[dharma [kṛṣṇa] vidyā]) are parsed without boundary destruction.
  • Unified Transliteration Engine & Error Logging: Consolidated IAST and Harvard-Kyoto transliteration wrappers into a single core handler with transparent console.warn logging on Tauri IPC fallbacks.
  • Word-Level Sanskrit Selection in Vim/Normal Mode: Improved cursor word boundary detection to support instantaneous bidirectional transliteration of the current Sanskrit word without manual visual highlighting.
  • Container Cleanup & Auto-Brackets: Aligned container definitions with VitePress defaults, resolved redundant .custom-block class duplication, and enabled automatic bracket [] insertion for custom container snippets in ribbon and cheat sheet.
  • Typst PDF Export Parity: Constrained container style matching in typstConverter.ts to exact name tokens, preventing false-positive styling on composite container names.

ZenTauri v1.8.1 ​

  • Duplicate File Workflow & Native Integration: Added „Duplicate File“ in the file explorer context menu, tab header context menu, and desktop application File menu, mapped to ⌘⇧D / Ctrl+Shift+D. Pending buffer edits are flushed before duplicating.
  • Pure-Rust Duplication Engine: Backend handler duplicate_file_item with automatic sequential suffixing (_copy, _copy_2), system/root safeguards (is_system_or_user_root), SQLite index updates, and automatic file tree reload.
  • Repeat Last Command / Redo (⌘Y / Ctrl+Y): Prioritizes redo after undo; otherwise repeats formatting wrap, snippet insert, or transliteration with recursion protection. Added ⌘B and ⌘I keymaps.
  • Software Update Dialog High-Contrast Accessibility: Semantic tokens text-app-text and text-app-text-muted replace low-contrast amber text in the update modal for full contrast across light and dark modes.
  • System Path Guarding: Hardened isProtectedSystemPath against non-string arguments.

ZenTauri v1.8.0 ​

  • Native DOCX & ODT Document Ingest (docling-rs): Integrated the pure-Rust docling engine (v2.55, without Python/Pandoc/LibreOffice dependencies). Existing manuscripts from Microsoft Word (.docx), OpenDocument Text (.odt), and .rtf, .epub, .pptx, .xlsx are parsed and converted directly into clean, archivable Markdown in the Rust backend (src-tauri).
  • Safe Import Buffer & Source Preservation: Ingested documents open in a new editor tab (<filename>.md) marked as unsaved (isDirty: true). The original file on disk is never modified or overwritten.
  • Import Confirmation Notice Dialog: Native dialog upon opening or dropping office files detailing Markdown conversion limits (omission of complex page margins and absolute frames) and markdown-only persistence.
  • Window-Wide Drag & Drop: Connected getCurrentWebview().onDragDropEvent in src/App.vue for native macOS Finder file drops (.md, .pdf, .docx, .odt).
  • Unicode NFC & Control Character Sanitizing: Automatic Unicode NFC normalization (essential for Sanskrit IAST diacritics and Devanāgarī ligatures) and stripping of soft hyphens (\u{00ad}), zero-width spaces (\u{200b}), and BOM (\u{feff}).
  • Scholarly Fontstack (Böhtlingk Standard): Adopted STIX Two Text across Typst export (typstConverter.ts) and CSS for native OpenType small caps with IAST diacritics (e.g. PĀṆINI, MAHĀBHĀṢYA).
  • Workspace Indexing & File Associations: Added .docx and .odt indexing in db.rs and registered macOS fileAssociations in tauri.conf.json.
  • Toolbar Balloon Tooltip De-duplication: Removed redundant native HTML title attributes in toolbar buttons to eliminate duplicate overlapping tooltips on hover.

ZenTauri v1.7.1 ​

  • markdown-it-extensible v1.4.2 Upgrade: Updated parsing engine to support table linebreaks (:br) directly adjacent to word characters and Sanskrit Unicode delimiters (e.g. Wurzel:br⟪धाtu⟫), as well as immediately preceding numbers and verb class designations (:br5 P). Word-internal substrings (:breakfast, :br_var) and multi-colon tags (::br) are preserved as literal text.
  • Typst PDF Export Table Linebreak Parity: Synchronized the native Typst PDF converter with the HTML table linebreak specification. Linebreaks (\ ) and horizontal indentation (#h(2em)) are scoped exclusively to table cells, maintaining literal representations in normal body text and escaping special characters cleanly.

ZenTauri v1.7.0 ​

  • External PDF Launch & Slot Assignment: Launch ZenTauri with PDF file paths via command line arguments or macOS Finder context menu ("Open With..."). 1 PDF loads directly into the left reference slot ([1] Ref), 2 PDFs populate reference ([1] Ref) and comparison ([2] Comp) slots simultaneously, and additional PDFs (>2) are ignored.
  • Finder & File Association Integration: Registered .pdf (com.adobe.pdf) in macOS bundle file associations with role Viewer for seamless drag-and-drop and context menu execution.
  • Batched IPC & Cold-Start Synchronization: Implemented open-files-batch in the Rust backend with atomic frontend_ready tracking in PendingOpenFiles, preventing duplicate tab creation and race conditions between RunEvent::Opened and initial mounting.
  • Targeted PDF Slot Re-render Prevention: loadPdfPair compares existing paths and error states per slot, preserving scroll position and rendered SVG cache when only one slot changes.

ZenTauri v1.6.1 ​

  • Hardened Scroll Synchronization: Implemented active scroller ownership with 200ms debounce in split view and Dual PDF QA, eliminating programmatic echo ping-pong loops.
  • Strict Monotonic Line Progression: Excluded trailing footnotes and filtered duplicate wrapper tags in Preview source elements to guarantee binary search stability.

  • True Percentage Scroll Routing: Split view percentage mode (%) now executes scrollToRatio directly across both editor and preview panes.
  • Deterministic PDF Page Jumps: Replaced asynchronous smooth-scroll in PdfDualViewer.vue with deterministic offset scroll, preventing race conditions on active page counters.

ZenTauri v1.6.0 ​

  • Dual PDF QA Mode (Modus 3): Integrated side-by-side vector PDF proofing suite (PdfDualViewer.vue) powered by hayro_svg with percentage and page-lockstep scroll synchronization, continuous scroll vs. single-page flip mode, zoom scaling, and document swap.
  • File Explorer Open PDFs Group: Added dedicated comparison slot management ([1] Ref, [2] Comp) with quick-reveal, slot unload, and automatic activation when clicking .pdf files.
  • Consistent Filename Display: Replaced H1 heading substitution in the file explorer with real disk filenames (node.name), matching editor tabs exactly.
  • Bidirectional Explorer Synchronization: Renaming or deleting files in the workspace tree immediately synchronizes open editor tabs and detaches deleted files safely into untitled buffers.
  • Strategic 3-Work-Modes Toolbar: Streamlined view navigation to Source, Split, and Dual PDF QA, archiving legacy text-reference QA into the backlog.

ZenTauri v1.5.0 ​

  • Dedicated Editor Formatting Ribbon: Added an interactive editor ribbon (EditorRibbon.vue) providing direct tool groups for headings (H1-H3), typography (bold, italic, strike, inline code), structure (lists, tables, quotes), scholarly callouts (grammar-box, warning-box, verse-box, note-box), Sanskrit citation markers (《...》), signal highlights, and KaTeX math.
  • Syntax Catalog Dropdown & Transliteration Toggles: Integrated categorized dropdown select for full cheatsheet access alongside quick-toggle buttons for IAST and Harvard-Kyoto transliteration.
  • Standalone HTML Export (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+H): Generates self-contained, offline-ready HTML5 documents with embedded Birchville Scholarly Synthesis styles and KaTeX CSS.
  • HTML Multi-MIME Clipboard Copy (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+C): Copies rendered HTML as rich formatted text (text/html) and source (text/plain) with graceful fallback and floating toast feedback.
  • Typst PDF Export Math Hardening: Implemented TYPST_MATH_BUILTINS whitelist and automatic text-quoting for multi-letter currency and unit identifiers (USD, EUR, CHF), resolving fatal unknown variable compilation errors.
  • LaTeX Macro Normalization: Resolves \text, \mathrm, \operatorname, and \sqrt before fraction parsing, resolving nested brace collisions in \frac.
  • Top Header Streamlining: Removed export controls from the top header to dedicate it strictly to presentation and layout options (Source, Split, 2-Col QA, 3-Col QA, Scroll-Sync, SWAP, Vim Mode).

ZenTauri v1.4.0 ​

  • Didactic v2 Standard & New Containers: Full integration of the minimal v2 container set from markdown-it-extensible v1.4.0 featuring ::: warning-box (didactic guidance, pitfalls; Birchville Scholarly Terracotta #ea580c) and ::: verse-box (Ślokas, Mantras, metrical texts).
  • Graceful Aliasing for Legacy Containers: Seamless backward compatibility with automatic aliasing for existing documents (important → .warning-box, compact → .verse-box, literatur-box / literatur → .note-box).
  • Single Source of Truth (containers.ts): Consolidated all block container definitions into a central architecture module (src/lib/containers.ts), completely eliminating 4-way redundancy across parser, auto-repair, and Typst converter.
  • Typst Native PDF Export: Robust matching for containers with and without spacing before bracket titles (::: box [Title] and ::: box[Title]), automatic descending length sorting preventing prefix shadowing, and typographical color matching for warning-box (Terracotta) and verse-box.
  • Performance & Rendering: Eliminated duplicate container nesting passes in the rendering pipeline for noticeably faster live preview updates.
  • Editor UI & Quick-Snippets: Added ::: warning-box and ::: verse-box directly to the quick-snippet toolbar (App.vue) and syntax cheatsheet.

ZenTauri v1.3.4 ​

  • Dual-Track Download & Manual Fallback: Added resilient direct browser download buttons linking directly to GitHub Releases in both UpdateNotification.vue and Settings.vue. If the in-app updater fails or encounters permission/sandbox issues, users can immediately download the installer/DMG with one click.
  • Updater Error State Recovery: Prominent recovery button ("Im Browser herunterladen ↗") rendered whenever update checks or installations encounter errors, preventing users from being locked out.
  • Settings Version Binding: Fixed updateVersion ref binding in Settings template, ensuring version strings render reliably in the release notes view.

  • XSS Sanitization & Token Streaming: Automatic HTML-escaping for container titles (::: box [Title]) and full Markdown-It token-streaming for Sanskrit brackets (《...》 / ⟪...⟫), eliminating raw HTML injection vectors.
  • Inline Directive Hardening: Added lookbehind protection ((?<![\w:-])) and letter-prefix constraints (:[a-zA-Z]) to prevent false-positive parsing on time strings (10:30[Uhr]) and object/array code accesses (obj:key[0]). Added full support for nested brackets in directive payload (:[sig][Note [1]]).
  • Nesting Stack & Code-Fence Protection: Protected nesting parser stack from unclosed external/unknown containers, preventing premature closure of known scholarly blocks. Single-line code fences are accurately tracked.
  • Webview Performance & Stabilität: Disabled synchronous filesystem lookups (configFile: false) in the UI render loop.
