πŸš€ Zentauri Release Notes ​

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.
  • End-of-Document Interpolation: Proportional fractional line progression from the last heading to sourceLineCount, preventing scroll drift in concluding paragraphs.
  • 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.
  • Type Safety & Portability Hardening: Fixed auto-repair markdown mutation, typed HTML export options, isolated global keyboard listeners, and eliminated hardcoded machine paths.

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 (γ€Š...》), 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 β†’ .warning-box, compact β†’ .verse-box, literatur-box / literatur β†’ .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.
