VersionNotes
1.2.0
2026-07
AspenKit family integration — launch installed sibling apps (AspenDev, …) from the menu; compact bars of AspenKit apps tile side by side when folded; windows magnetically snap to other AspenKit windows while dragging.
1.1.1
2026-07
Consistent view-switch sizing — split doubles the current width, editor/preview halves it, anchored to the nearer screen edge, with less flicker/lag on switch. Click the title bar to dismiss a menu; theme labels tidied (Green/Blue). Robustness: atomic document & settings writes (an interrupted save can't corrupt the file), plus maximized-restore and drag-and-drop hardening.
1.1.0
2026-07
Markdown engine hardening — fixes for two crashes, an unsafe-link security issue, several rendering-correctness bugs and two O(n²) performance cliffs; open any text/code file with automatic Korean (CP949) encoding detection; scrollbar fix; theme cleanup (Dark/Light/BTS/Green/Blue); compact-mode and title-bar improvements.
1.0.0
2026-06
First public release. Split live preview, custom Markdown engine (headings, emphasis, lists, quotes, code fences, GFM tables, hr), dark/light/BTS themes, magnetic snap, settings persistence, installer & portable builds.
