DEEIX-AI/Winc v0.1.571

on GitHub

✨ Feature

• Preview PDF files on macOS and Windows with the system PDF renderer: pages fit the editor width, only the pages near the view are rendered and cached, a page counter shows the current page, and the wheel, arrow keys, Page Up/Down, Space and Home/End scroll
• Preview Word documents (.docx, .docm, .dotx, .dotm) as a read-only reading view with multi-level heading numbering, inline styles, lists, tables, images, links, footnotes and comments; pie charts become Mermaid pie charts, small category charts become tables, and other charts list their series
• Add an outline section below the file tree that lists functions, types and Markdown headings (with their # levels) as a foldable tree, highlights the symbol at the cursor, jumps on click or Enter, remembers folded symbols per file, and can be turned off in Settings (#52)
• Add a heading indicator beside the Markdown preview: one mark per heading, with the current section highlighted; hovering opens the heading list, and choosing a heading jumps to it and briefly highlights it
• Restyle Mermaid diagrams with colours taken from the theme, route edges through the subgraphs they cross, keep edge labels on smooth curves, and add a full-screen viewer with zoom (buttons, keys, pinch and ⌘-scroll) and pan
• Support projects inside WSL on Windows (experimental) (#66):
  • Open WSL Folder lists the installed distributions
  • Git, the terminal and formatters run inside the distribution
  • A bundled watcher reports file changes from inside the distribution
  • Saving keeps Linux permissions and ownership
  • When a distribution is unavailable, documents are kept and autosave pauses
• Add per-project run configurations (#45):
  • Read from .winc/run.json, or detected from project files when there is none
  • Run, stop and rerun from the terminal tab bar, F5 and ⇧F5
  • Ask before running a command from a repository, and again when the command changes
• Add a shell picker to the terminal panel that lists the shells on this machine, including PowerShell, cmd and WSL distributions on Windows; each tab remembers its shell across restarts
• Move terminal find to a floating bar with match case, whole word and regex options; it searches across wrapped lines, follows new output and marks results on the scrollbar
• Add a Terminal page in Settings: default shell, panel position (bottom or right), font, font size, copy on select, confirmation before closing, the Winc prompt, shell integration and the Meta key on macOS; Git Bash is detected on Windows
• Redesign the commit view:
  • The commit card sits below the changes
  • The last unpushed commit has an inline Undo
  • Stashes are listed in a collapsible group with apply, pop and drop, and their files open in a preview diff
  • When there is nothing to commit, the view shows how the branch relates to its upstream, with one next step: Push, Pull, Sync or Publish
  • Holding ⌥ turns Commit into Commit and Push
• Commit single lines or hunks from the diff
• Add interactive rebase and a three-way merge view for conflicts, and rework the two-way diff
• Add clone, init, branch rename, tag and remote management, and Git commands in the command palette, including Pull with Rebase
• Ask for Git credentials, SSH key passphrases and host key confirmation in a dialog, and keep the full Git output for review (Git: Show Output)
• Pull and sync with uncommitted changes: they are stashed and restored afterwards; if restoring conflicts, the conflicts are marked in the working tree and the original changes stay in the stash
• Carry uncommitted changes across branch switches by stashing, switching and restoring when Git refuses a plain switch; the stash is kept whenever the changes cannot be restored cleanly
• Add a searchable branch picker with Pull, Push and Fetch and a New Branch button, opened from the branch row or the status bar
• Add a winc shell command (#77):
  • Install it from the command palette on macOS and in the Linux AppImage; the Windows installers add it to the Path
  • The command returns to the shell immediately on Unix
  • Unreadable targets are reported with exit status 1
  • Add -v and --version
• Open files single-clicked in the file tree in a preview tab, with the name in italics. Clicking another file replaces the preview tab, and double-clicking or editing keeps it. Turn it on with the Preview Tabs setting (#87)
• Add Open Recent Folder on Ctrl+R (⌃R on macOS) (#73):
  • The current folder is left out, so Enter returns to the previous folder
  • Type to filter by name or location
  • ⌥Enter opens a folder in a new window
  • × removes a folder from the list
• Add a UI zoom setting (70%–200%) with its own shortcuts, separate from the editor font size; the terminal now has its own font and size and no longer follows the editor font size
• Add Settings search across all pages, wrap long setting descriptions, and redesign the About page with the app icon, links and a click-to-copy version
• Turn the status bar update hint into a button with Update, download progress, Restart and Retry states; the version, progress and failure reason appear in its tooltip
• Remember whether the sidebar is open for each folder (#51)
• Delete empty bracket and quote pairs together on Backspace, with undo restoring both halves and every cursor following the same rule
• Offer to move Winc to the Applications folder on macOS when it runs from a disk image or a translocated location; the original copy is moved to the Trash, or the disk image is ejected

⚡ Optimization

• Remove wheel lag and stutter: each notch scrolls immediately on Windows and Linux, and on macOS the scroll animation adapts to the wheel speed
• Follow the system's lines-per-notch setting on Windows, scroll 120 px per notch on Linux, and pace frames to the display on Windows and Wayland (#72)
• Release the idle frame buffer on Windows and X11, about 32 MB at 4K
• Add WINC_FRAME_LOG=1 to print drawing-time statistics for performance reports
• Draw strokes only near each shape, cutting the cost of scrolling past diagrams by about 60%
• Improve terminal rendering:
  • Scroll by pixels
  • Draw block elements without gaps
  • Keep the input method's composition on screen
  • Keep styles and combining marks under the block cursor
  • Size emoji sequences consistently
  • Follow the colour scheme
• Refine terminal interaction:
  • Typing clears the selection, and ⇧-click extends it
  • Dragging past the edge keeps scrolling
  • ⌥-click moves the shell cursor at the prompt
  • Tabs running a program are marked, and the + button stays in place
• Animate commit view refreshes, long change names, the commit button width and the amend toggle; long names expand on hover and fade at the cut instead of ending with an ellipsis; Reduce Motion skips these animations
• Simplify the commit view: checkboxes only decide what goes into a commit, and the separate staging controls are removed
• List up to three of the affected files when a pull fails
• Keep mouse hover separate from the keyboard selection in pickers, and give the branch picker's default row a soft highlight until the keyboard is used, so it is not mistaken for the current branch
• Strengthen diff colours so deletions stand apart from folded and current lines, use the standard checkbox in the commit view, and align focus rings to device pixels at fractional scales
• Keep middle dots and closing punctuation off the start of wrapped lines in Markdown
• Name the app Winc in system menus, installers and interface text, and reword Git messages and dialogs consistently in both languages
• Lay out the macOS app icon on Apple's icon grid so it matches other apps in the Dock

🐛 Fixed

• Fix new windows opening off screen when the window that opens them is minimized; a new window now cascades from that window's last normal position (#95)
• Fix diffs treating whole files as changed when only their line endings differ under core.autocrlf (#89)
• Fix terminal start-up and display problems with some programs, reverse video hiding default text, and scrollback, prompt and process tracking in WSL terminals (#65)
• Fix the terminal panel not being restored when the first window opens
• Fix run configurations not pinning their command line like a typed command
• Fix the refresh button in the Git log having no effect (#57)
• Fix the Settings scrollbar, including on the Shortcuts page, not being draggable (#70)
• Fix the traffic lights, title bar inset and sidebar toggle shifting when entering or leaving fullscreen and while zooming on macOS (#54)
• Fix shortcut symbols rendering as boxes on Linux; shortcuts are now shown in each platform's notation (#64)
• Fix docks, taskbars and window rules not recognising the Linux window on Wayland and X11, and raise the existing window on Wayland when a second launch hands off to it (#74)
• Fix an old copy of Winc from the installer disk image appearing under Open With on macOS (#75)
• Fix punctuation committed by input methods, such as Pinyin ，。：, being replaced by ASCII characters on macOS
• Fix .bat and .cmd files no longer running after installing Winc on Windows, and stop installing Winc from making file types ask which app to use; Winc is now offered under Open With > Choose another app
• Fix the Windows portable ZIP storing settings and state in the user profile; it now keeps them in its data folder, imports existing settings on first run and runs as a separate instance
• Fix hunks with identical content being checked together
• Fix the sync control sharing the refresh icon
