Full changelog

Feather MD v1.3.4 delivers critical bug fixes, editor usability enhancements, native platform improvements, and a major bundle size optimization.

Key Enhancements

  • Optimized Preview Bundle: Switched markdown code-block syntax coloring to lazy load components dynamically as needed. This significantly reduces the initial bundle footprint and compilation size.
  • Tab Key Space Insertion: Configured CodeMirror state to ensure pressing the Tab key inserts physical spaces matching your tab-size preference rather than just changing the display width.
  • Startup Preferences Restoration: Seamlessly restores your customized configuration (line numbers, word wrapping, Vim mode, scroll-sync, and editor split ratio) on application startup.
  • External Link Browser Routing: HTTP/HTTPS external links now open directly in your host operating system's default browser instead of navigating inside the webview window.
  • Smart File-Watcher: Silently reloads unmodified active files when changed on disk by external programs, prompting you only when the editor buffer has unsaved changes.
  • Window Boundary Persistence: Restores your custom window size on launch, utilizing debounced event tracking to persist adjustments.

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved a toolbar binding issue that caused the settings panel to instantly close when clicking the settings button.
  • Fixed an initialization race condition where file-opened IPC listeners were registered before DOM content finished mounting.
  • Cleaned up unbundled font family fallbacks from the settings dropdown.
  • Refactored native Tauri capability permissions, removing unused dialog handles.
