Versionβ€―v1.6.0 introduces a Metadata Bar and collapsible Properties Box in the UI, strips frontmatter from rendered markdown, protects inline code, adds GitHub Actions CI/CD for macOS .dmg builds, removes debug eprintln! output, and improves wikilink display.

Why it matters: These feature additions (Metadata Bar, Properties Box, improved wikilinks) directly enhance UI usability and readability; the bugfix eliminating debug logs cleans terminal output for all users.

πŸŽ‰ What's New in v1.6.0

✨ Frontmatter Rendering β€” Metadata Bar & Enhanced Properties

Full redesign of how frontmatter appears in the viewer. Two complementary views now work together:

Metadata Bar (always visible above content)

  • Title shown as a large heading with a subtle divider
  • Description displayed as a subtitle
  • Tags rendered as colorful pill badges (first 5 shown, "show more" for overflow)
  • Status badges with semantic colors: active (green), draft (orange), archived (gray)
  • Date and author shown as styled pills

Properties Box (collapsible, below content)

  • Icon support (native macOS emoji + custom Unicode mappings)
  • Boolean values displayed as toggle toggles (βœ…/❌)
  • Multi-value arrays shown as stacked pills
  • Smart fallback for missing icons
  • All less-common properties preserved in the collapsible section

πŸ”— Wikilink Display Text

Wikilinks now show human-readable display text when available:

  • [[docs/architecture|Architecture]] renders as "Architecture" instead of "docs/architecture"
  • Plain [[filename]] still links and displays the filename

🧹 Frontmatter Stripping

Frontmatter is now stripped from the rendered markdown body β€” it only appears in the structured UI above. No more YAML blocks mixed into your content.

πŸ›‘οΈ Inline Code Protection

Inline code (backtick-wrapped text) is now protected from emoji replacement and math preprocessing. Your code snippets stay exactly as written.

βš™οΈ GitHub Actions CI/CD

Automated release workflow now builds and publishes .dmg files on every v* tag push:

  • Native macOS build (aarch64 + x86_64)
  • Automatic GitHub Release creation
  • DMG auto-attached to release
  • make update for manual in-app upgrades

🧹 Cleanup

  • Removed all debug eprintln! spew from stdout/stderr for cleaner terminal output
