Release notes

v0.3.8 · May 21, 2026

Workspace switching scales when you have many folders on disk.

Desktop

• MRU workspace tabs — the explorer shows the active workspace plus recently used roots (no endless horizontal scroll).
• Workspace switcher — ··· overflow or ⌘⇧W / Ctrl+Shift+W opens a searchable list (name, path, git branch).
• Last used — switching workspaces updates last_used in persisted workspaces.json.
• Remember active — last selected workspace is restored on launch (localStorage).
• Workspace-scoped file access — read/write/list commands resolve paths only from registered workspace ids (not client-supplied roots).
• Switcher in header — ··· beside the diagram gallery opens the full workspace list.

Security

• File IPC bound to workspace ids; symlink escape and 32 MiB read cap.
• Markdown links limited to http, https, and mailto; Mermaid antiscript mode; DOMPurify updated.

v0.3.7 · May 20, 2026

Smarter Markdown-only file tree and automatic refresh when files change outside the app.

Desktop

• Markdown & .mmd filter — checkbox scans the workspace and shows only .md, .markdown, .mdx, and .mmd files; folders appear only on paths that contain a match (no empty branches).
• Live file tree — filesystem watch on the active workspace refreshes the sidebar when another editor, terminal, or git changes files on disk (debounced; skips node_modules, .git, etc.).
• Expanded folders — refresh reloads the workspace root and any expanded directories so nested files stay in sync.

v0.3.6 · May 19, 2026

Broader Mermaid detection for real-world docs (untagged fences and .mmd files).

Desktop

• Untagged fences — plain ``` blocks whose body starts with graph, flowchart, %%{init, etc. render and appear in the diagram gallery (code-language fences like python are unchanged).
• .mmd files — standalone Mermaid files open in the editor/preview and scan as one diagram per file.

v0.3.4 · May 19, 2026

Fixes Linux ARM64 CI (force IPv4 for apt on ubuntu-22.04-arm runners).

Install

• Same as v0.3.3: *_aarch64.AppImage / *_aarch64.deb on aarch64 — use this tag if v0.3.3 has no ARM assets.

v0.3.3 · May 19, 2026

Linux ARM64 (aarch64) release artifacts for Raspberry Pi and ARM Ubuntu.

Install

• Linux: run uname -m — x86_64 → *_amd64.AppImage / *_amd64.deb; aarch64 → *_aarch64.AppImage / *_aarch64.deb.
• One-time installer: scripts/install-linux.sh (picks arch and latest release).
• CI builds on ubuntu-22.04-arm for native ARM64 bundles.

v0.3.2 · May 19, 2026

Mermaid ELK and tidy-tree layout support, plus diagram gallery and preview fixes.

Desktop

• ELK layouts — @mermaid-js/layout-elk registered at startup. Supports %%{init: … "defaultRenderer": "elk" …}%%, YAML layout: elk / elk.stress, and flowchart-elk diagram types.
• Tidy-tree mindmaps — @mermaid-js/layout-tidy-tree for layout: tidy-tree in frontmatter.
• Mermaid preview fix — fenced-block regex used the wrong capture group; inline diagrams could fail to render.
• Diagram gallery — workspace scan returns markdown file counts and clearer empty-state hints; paths canonicalized on load (helps ~/ and symlinks on Linux).
• File explorer — .mdx included in Markdown-only filter.
• Tests — npm test runs fence extraction and headless layout renders; see samples/mermaid-layouts.md.

Install

• Tagged v0.3.2 builds for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux via GitHub Actions.

v0.3.1 · May 18, 2026

Fixes macOS Finder Open With for .md files and clarifies which installer to download.

Desktop

• Open With (macOS) — Tao 0.16 did not handle document-open delegate methods; Dickory Docs now accepts files from Finder and routes them to the existing external-open flow.
• UTI coverage — public.markdown added to declared content types.

Install

• Pick the macOS .dmg matching uname -m: arm64 → *_aarch64, x86_64 → *_x64. Apple Silicon can use the x64 build under Rosetta if needed.
• Tagged v0.3.1 builds for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux via GitHub Actions.

v0.3.0 · May 17, 2026

Markdown editing and macOS Open With — open .md files from Finder without adding a workspace first.

Desktop

• Markdown editor — split-pane Monaco editor with live preview, save to disk, unsaved-change prompts, and optional editor pane hide.
• Open With (macOS) — registered as a Markdown viewer in Info.plist (Finder handoff was broken until v0.3.1).
• Internal Markdown links — click relative .md links in preview to open sibling docs in the workspace.

Install

• Tagged v0.3.0 builds for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux via GitHub Actions.

v0.2.1 · May 15, 2026

File search and diagram display fixes.

Desktop

• Workspace file search — sidebar search walks the full workspace (not only expanded folders); results show parent paths.
• Sharp diagrams — expand modal and gallery render crisp SVGs again (fit via SVG sizing; removed backdrop blur on overlays).

Install

• Tagged v0.2.1 builds for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux via GitHub Actions.

v0.2.0 · May 15, 2026

Search and navigation improvements for day-to-day doc work.

Desktop

• Filter by file name in the sidebar — narrows the loaded tree and highlights matches; works with the Markdown-only filter.
• Find in document (toolbar or ⌘F / Ctrl+F) — highlights matches in Markdown preview and plain-text files; Enter / Shift+Enter to step through results.
• TOC anchor links — internal #heading links scroll to the right section (GitHub-style heading IDs).
• Mermaid zoom — fixes compositor smear/trails when panning and zooming diagrams on macOS WebKit.

Install

• Tagged v0.2.0 builds for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux via GitHub Actions.

v0.1.0 · May 15, 2026

First release under the Dickory Docs name (rebrand from Doc Watson).

Desktop

• Tauri + React app: folder workspaces, file explorer, Markdown preview, Mermaid diagrams, plain-text viewer.
• Workspace persistence under DickoryDocs in the OS config directory; one-time migration from DocWatson.
• Markdown-only tree filter, resizable explorer panel, create/rename/delete via context menu.
• Preview deep links: ?preview=true&workspace=&path=.
• Mermaid gallery: browse all diagrams in a workspace or current file, with pan/zoom and keyboard navigation.
• Custom app icon; macOS dev builds show the correct dock icon.

Install

• Tagged v0.1.0 builds for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux via GitHub Actions.

Site

• GitHub Pages marketing site in docs/ (landing, feature guides, release notes).
