Release notes

What changed in each public build — newest first.

  1. 0.1.08latest
    • Quick Look becomes a real floating window — draggable, resizable, and rendering actual file content.
    • Every overlay dialog can now be dragged by its header.
    • ! shell commands run in an elevated console; a failure shows the output tail instead of silence.
    • Right-clicking blank pane space offers terminal entries, including PowerShell.
    • Files open via ShellExecuteW off the UI thread — the window stays responsive.
    • Fixed a crash and titlebar/dock chrome glitches; removed the duplicated bottom-dock close button; About page padding aligned.
  2. 0.1.07
    • SFTP dialog inputs and the Browse button get visible frames; action buttons get real chrome.
    • Update downloads are staged beside the exe.
  3. 0.1.06
    • Auto-update falls back to copying when the staged download sits on a different volume than the exe.
  4. 0.1.05
    • Fallback disk walk is parallelized at every depth — faster indexing on non-MFT volumes.
    • Interactive shells open in a real console window.
    • Organize menu gains Invert selection; the run-command dialog uses a real input.
    • Theme family becomes the single theme source; the classic workspace-tab style is dropped.
    • Drive icons move into the menu icon slot; pane focus returns after an inline rename; empty-pane folder creation is deferred correctly.
  5. 0.1.04
    • The Ctrl+F search popup can be scoped to a drive or a folder.
    • Toolbar tooltips are localized; list columns are aligned.
    • Input selection is tinted with the accent color; the browser-style workspace tab is dropped.
    • Files open via ShellExecuteW; the file clipboard is hardened.
  6. 0.1.03
    • Font pickers stabilized; real CJK glyph-coverage detection.
    • Pane-selection events are emitted; the disk panel reveals correctly.
    • Empty Recycle Bin goes through the Shell API; the search cap is shared fairly.
  7. 0.1.02
    • Pinned tabs keep their badge, pin icon and label instead of collapsing to a 40px icon.
    • Owl notification relay and the bubble countdown become opt-in settings.
    • Auto-update reworked: re-checks every 10 minutes while idle, downloads in the background, applies on restart.
    • The titlebar owl opens the homepage when no update is pending; OSS license table alignment fixes.
  8. 0.1.01
    • The owl companion arrives — speech bubbles, perches and moods, off by default.
    • Fresh installs default to English, a single tab and no shortcuts.
    • Archive operations, the remote dialog, drag affordances and an i18n fill pass.
    • Tabs close immediately; status chatter no longer becomes toasts.
    • Icon and thumbnail caches are bounded; the indexer exits when idle.
    • Fixed a crash on Settings → Keys plus a visual polish pass over fonts, breadcrumbs and dock spacing.
    • Version display switches to the two-digit patch convention (0.1.01).
