Silex

Silex v3.8.0 is now available, live on v3.silex.me.

This release makes the desktop app update itself on every platform, adds Windows support for local development, and brings new editor features and fixes, several from the community.

Highlights

• Desktop auto-update on Windows, macOS and Linux. The desktop app now checks for new versions and updates itself, with signed builds and an update manifest for each platform.
• Background image in the Decorations panel. Set a background image directly from the style panel, thanks to @SyedIshmumAhnaf.
• Filter your modified styles from the search bar. Quickly find the styles you changed, thanks to @ola-a11y.
• Local development on Windows. Contributors can now install and run Silex on Windows.
