Markdown Preview 0.0.43

6 hours ago

Large documents open dramatically faster, reading mode is properly white in light mode, and the preview stays on the file you opened while you edit.

Added

  • Support link in the README. A Support section and GitHub Sponsors button make it easier to back continued development (#249).

Changed

  • Large Markdown files render far faster. Initial rendering no longer forces WebKit to resolve the growing document repeatedly, and table setup stops reading every header through layout-sensitive properties. A generated 1 MB prose file went from 17.5 seconds to 0.36 seconds on a cold launch, with a mixed 250 KB fixture improving 95% on DOM update and 91% on first contentful paint — at flat to slightly lower memory (#250).
  • Reading mode now paints a white page in light mode. macOS 15 (Sequoia) and earlier previously showed grey, which left code blocks barely distinguishable from surrounding text (#253, #251).

Fixed

  • The preview stays on the original file during editor backup saves. Automatic reloads no longer follow a temporary backup path, so the window keeps tracking the document you opened (#254, #119).
  • The Buy Me a Coffee button image renders in the README. The badge URL was broken and showed as a missing image (#252).
