🛠️ Technical changes (definitely read if you have your own fork)

🌟 Features

• Works on macOS (finally)
• Added more page sizes to PDF export (it remembers the latest one)

✨ Improvements and fixes

• Fall back to text inputs for font customization on macOS
• Fix traffic light position on macOS
• Updated sidebar spacing
• Update default theme to have softer text color

🛠️ Technical changes

• Deprecated appearance.experimental.darwinCustomTitlebarEnabled settings key
  • It is now directly tied to appearance.useSystemWindowFrame, and the titlebar is now merged by default
• Removed compile time metadata:
  • windowDefaults.wcoEnabledPlatforms - since macOS is no longer excluded, the key is no longer used
• Icons are now stored in res/icons, and subprojects refer to them with symbolic links to reduce duplication

✨ Improvements and fixes

• Fixed image paste
• Fixed the spellcheck option not actually toggling spellcheck

🌟 Features

• Added tables: headers, custom background colors and resize included. You can put literally anything inside tables, including other tables. Have fun building complex dashboards with raw tables.
• Images are now included in note exports
• Added PDF export
• Added icon and title to exported documents

✨ Improvements and fixes

• Added a tooltip on note list items for better accessibility
• Improved HTML serialization
• Fixed checkbox styling in exports
• Fixed recursive render crash in highlight color picker
• Fixed obnoxiously large title boxes in wide pages (was caused by a rendering race condition)
• Hitting Enter on the title box now moves the cursor into the editor
• Removed excess margins around blockquotes

Known issues

• PDF export is currently locked to A4 paper size, I'll add other sizes in an upcoming release. In the meantime, you can still export as HTML and Print to PDF from your favorite browser. This is how it works under the hood anyway

✨ Improvements and fixes

• Trashed pages can now be viewed/edited before restoring them
• "Check for updates" option in the about screen now works
• I had forgotten to bump the version in 1.0.0-beta.2, which showed unnecessary update notifications. This has been fixed in this release

🚑 Hotfixes

• Fixed failing migration checks on Windows 11 25H2 due to the removal of WMIC utility.
• Added additional guards to ensure data is not lost during migrations.

🌟 Features

Known issues

• Trashed pages cannot be viewed before they are restored - this will be fixed in the next release.
• Workspaces cannot be deleted once they are created, this will be implemented soon.
• "Check for updates" button in the about box might not work as expected, update check on startup is unaffected by this.

I skipped the v0.5.3-alpha.1 tag because I forgot to bump the version in that one - which would probably keep saying there was an update if you installed it. Just download this release instead.

🌟 Features

• Add support for text colors and highlighting (#3, #5)
  • There are 9 colors available by default, and these follow your theme
  • It's also possible to choose a custom color using the eyedropper button

✨ Improvements and fixes

• Removed old editor code, which reduced the app size by ~1MB

🌟 Features

• Upgraded code blocks with syntax highlighting.
• Clicking on the empty space below the editor contents now moves the cursor to the end.

✨ Improvements and fixes

• We have rebuilt the editor from the ground up and extracted it into a new package.
  You should not notice much difference at first sight other than the new slash menu animation,
  however this changes a lot under the hood stuff and will speed up development in the long run.

This is a small patch to address vulnerable dependencies and remove the unnecenssary "up-to-date" notification on startup.

✨ Improvements and fixes

• Fixed a bug which showed the "Darkwrite is up to date" toast on every automatic update check. This toast now appears only when you check for updates explicitly.

🛠️ Technical changes

• Upgraded @radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu to fix broken unit tests
