GTK4 and More
😶🌫️ so… it’s been a while.
Thank you to everyone who had kind words to say about our app, and thank you all for your continued support.
This release brings:
- GTK4
- GTKSourceView5
- Webkit2Gtk6
- Ghost 2FA Support
- Hashnode GQL Support
- Enabling always showing file names
- Large file handling improvements
GTK4 migration improves some of the drag and drop handling from other apps, particularly on Wayland. The Library and Sheets panes can be resized.
😅 As part of the migration, we tried to keep all existing features. There might be some UI changes as we changed outdated GTK3 components to their GTK4 counterparts.
New-ish UI
Ever want to just open a Markdown or Fountain file in ThiefMD without importing into the library? Now you can.
Confused on what to do first when opening ThiefMD? Our new Library-less launch window is hopefully clearer.
There's a lot of changes under the hood. We now use the Wordpress REST API instead of XML-RPC. libsoup3 and Webkit2GTK 4.1 power network connections and previews. We're now build on the GNOME 44 SDK.
Hashnode, Medium, Forem, and more
We added support for Hashnode, Forem, and Medium. Forem support means you can publish directly to DEV.
In addition, we added a Finnish Translation by Jiri Grönroos, and a German Translation by Fish and Helix.
Networking calls are now mostly non-blocking, which means startup times have decreased. Add as many connections as you like, and start writing as soon as the app launches.
Stability (Hopefully)
Mostly a maintenance and bug fix release.
We fixed a race condition in PDF export and made some changes to adjust for Vala compiler changes.
Pretty PDFs
We've been at work making Export Packages that result in beautiful PDFs, like Highlighted Headings and Mr. Noto Roboto1.
This release will use WeasyPrint or PagedJS if available. It will fallback to Webkit2GTK and GTK's PDF generator if needed.
1 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we think they look great! But feel free to make your own, and if you're up for it, share them with the world!
Draft Check?
Need a second pair of eyes to look over your text? ThiefMD now has Link Grammar support 😸
This uses the revolutionary link-grammar, the same one that powers AbiWord's grammar checking. That revolutionary grammar checker that uses natural language processing to understand your sentences to see if it's grammatically correct.
Yeah. I know what you're thinking. This means ThiefMD has NLP built in.
We also fixed some bugs and icon loading (at least on the GNOME default theme).
PanDoc Monitoring Improvements
😅 was a bit overzealous with the last release.
Fixed image issues and added a watchdog timer for when pandoc is rendering the preview.
Fix Image Uploads
😓 We broke image uploads.
This fixes image uploads along with rendering previews when a relative path to a CSL file is provided.
