MD Viewer v0.1.8

MD Viewer v0.1.8

A bug-fix release addressing file access and link parsing issues.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Hidden Directory Access — Fixed an issue where files inside dot-prefixed (hidden) directories (e.g. .test/) could not be read. The Tauri filesystem plugin now matches glob patterns against paths with leading dots.
• CJK Autolink Trimming — Fixed GFM autolink literal parsing incorrectly including CJK characters and fullwidth punctuation as part of URLs (e.g. https://example.com，中文 no longer produces a broken link). A custom remarkAutolinkTrim plugin now splits the URL at the first non-URL character.

MD Viewer v0.1.6

MD Viewer v0.1.6

A major infrastructure upgrade — MD Viewer migrates from Tauri 1.x to Tauri 2.11, adds native file association for .md files, and significantly reduces memory usage.

✨ What's New

🚀 Tauri 2.11 Migration

• Migrated the entire backend from Tauri 1.x to Tauri 2.11, bringing improved security, better plugin architecture, and future-proof APIs.

📂 File Association

• Double-clicking a .md file in Finder / Explorer now opens it directly in MD Viewer — no need to use "Open With" or drag-and-drop.

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Reduced memory footprint through lazy loading and build-time optimizations:
  • Release profile tuned with opt-level = "s", LTO, single codegen unit, symbol stripping, and panic abort.
  • Smaller binary size and lower runtime memory consumption.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed compilation errors on Windows and Linux caused by macOS-specific RunEvent::Opened handling.
