Marked Changelog

CHANGED

• Export palette is now disabled for Quick Look preview documents
• Status messages display in red for Quick Look preview warnings
• Status messages are clickable when truncated or have verbose messages
• Footnotes are now conditionally included in the sidebar based on user preference (defaults to enabled)
• When includeFootnotesInSidebar is disabled, only comments (CriticMarkup, Fountain, Word) appear in the sidebar, not footnotes
• MASSubscriptionRegistrar.registerFromTransaction now accepts a transaction that is already verified by the caller (SubscriptionManager), removing the redundant verification check that could prevent MAS purchases from being registered for Paddle access
• Diff markers now use cyan color instead of red (light cyan when inactive, darker cyan when active) to avoid appearing as errors

NEW

• Quick Look preview detection for unrecognized file types with warning messages
• Status message popover that displays full or verbose messages when clicked
• Verbose message support for status messages (shown in popover, not status bar)
• Special warning messages for .doc and .rtf files with instructions to convert to DOCX

IMPROVED

• Style Manager shortcut legend now shows specific keyboard shortcuts (1–9, 1–0, 1–0, 1–0) instead of vague description

• Paragraph splitting in PDF print now prevents widowed lines by detecting when a split would leave fewer than 20 characters on the next page. When detected, the split is adjusted to move the previous line to the next page instead, avoiding orphaned single words or short phrases.
• Added early cached subscription check to provide faster verification when cached data is available
• Enhanced subscription verification logging to help diagnose timeout and cache issues during StoreKit entitlement checks
• MarkdownDocument, MKStatsStore, and MKTextAnalyzer description methods no longer dump full document text, HTML, or other large fields; they now show string lengths, key counts, and compact state (e.g. html: (N chars), string: (N chars), wordCount, outlineMode, isUpdating) so debug and NSLog output stays usable
• Help CSS now uses modern Sass color APIs compatible with upcoming Dart Sass releases to avoid deprecation issues.

• Diff markers have higher z-index and proper pointer events to ensure they’re always interactive

FIXED

• Subscription check now properly falls back to cached data when StoreKit entitlement checks timeout after system restart, preventing users from being blocked from accessing the app

• Subscription check falls back to cached data when the MAS verification server returns an error or the response cannot be parsed, preventing users from being blocked when the server is unavailable
• Subscription verification completion handling and dispatch group usage so the finish callback and group.leave() are invoked correctly in all paths, avoiding races and potential deadlocks when StoreKit entitlement checks time out or complete out of order
• Removed ASCII escape sequences before rendering
• Help menu search now indexes help topics as soon as the app launches and no longer requires opening the help window first.
• Help menu search results now always appear in the Help menu dropdown and respect the result limit, even when there are no matching topics.
