Full changelog

New Features

Page Breaks Support (<pb>): You can now structure your PDF export layouts by inserting <pb> page break tags.
Page Break Visibility Toggle: Toggle the visibility of the visual dashed line for <pb> markers in the preview pane via the View > Show Page Breaks menu or using the new shortcut Alt + P.
Rich Document Statistics: The status bar now displays individual counts for Words, Characters, and Paragraphs instead of just words.
Accurate Statistics Counting: Markdown formatting characters (such as links, code block fences, tables, checklists) are now stripped out of raw text before counting for higher statistical accuracy.
Selection Stats: Highlight any text in the editor to immediately see the selected word, character, and paragraph count in the status bar.
Distraction-Free Printing: Headings are prevented from being orphaned at the bottom of pages, and tables, code blocks, or blockquotes will avoid page splits when printing or exporting to PDF.

Improvements & Usability

Window Dragging: The application window can now be dragged by clicking and dragging the main title bar, with button and menu interactions protected from accidental drag events.
