Why Upgrade

  • Use native Mac document tabs with filenames, active-tab highlighting, and double-click closing.
  • Keep project navigation shared while each document retains its own editing and preview state.
  • Preserve unsaved edits during external-file refreshes and exact JSON values when formatting.

Highlights

  • Double-click a native Mac document tab to close it, with the existing unsaved-change confirmation.
  • Makes native document tabs standard for macOS, replacing the previous in-editor tab strip and experimental setting. Native tabs show filenames, highlight the active document, and share the project sidebar without sharing document contents or preview state.
  • Keeps the newer touch-friendly UIKit tabs standard on iPhone and iPad, and preserves visionOS's existing tab experience.
  • On iPhone Duo, moves the editor toolbar into a vertical column on the right edge, below the status bar, when the phone is closed, open, or partially folded, so it no longer covers the bottom of your document (#498).

Fixes

  • Keeps the Mac editor at full height when the code minimap is shown; short Swift, YAML, and other code files no longer collapse to a single centered line.
  • Adds space between the Mac toolbar's outer symbols and the rounded ends of their group.
  • Gives the first Mac tab the same toolbar background as every other tab.
  • Keeps each Mac tab's cursor, selection, and preview independent, so typing in one document no longer refreshes other tabs.
  • Keeps project Markdown cards shared across Mac tabs, preserving prepared previews, pane width, and scroll position when switching or opening documents.
  • Restores Mac tabs without briefly showing separate windows, keeps file-conflict prompts with their own document, and preserves unsaved-change protection when closing.
  • Rechecks document revisions before applying external file refreshes, so edits made while a refresh is pending are not replaced by stale content.
  • Keeps Safe Mode's blank editor in its original window and keeps recovery drafts separate from the normal saved session.
  • Preserves JSON object member order, repeated keys, exact number tokens, and escaped strings when formatting or combining lines (#802).

Breaking changes

  • The previous Mac in-editor tab strip and experimental native-tab preference are replaced by native document tabs. iPhone, iPad, and visionOS retain their existing platform-specific tab experiences.

Migration

  • No document conversion is required. Existing saved sessions use the native document-tab layout on macOS.

Maintenance

  • Hides the content of unselected native Mac tabs so their rendering surfaces can be released; in the paired benchmark this kept retained memory close to 2.0.0 while tab switching stayed faster than 2.0.0.
  • Removes the retired in-window Mac tab code paths and the unused "Open in Tabs" setting.
  • Builds native Mac toolbars once per document, starts file loading before window setup, and defers inline Markdown preview and the language menu until needed.
  • Adds a disposable native-tab benchmark harness with display-state logging, titlebar parity, pane-height, and Markdown rendering checks.
