- Added double-click-to-close behavior for tabs on macOS tab strips.
- Added split editor settings sections (
Basics / Behavior) to reduce scrolling in the Editor tab.
Improved
- Improved custom theme vibrancy by applying the vivid neon syntax profile to
Custom, so syntax colors remain bright and saturated.

- Improved toolbar symbol color options on macOS with clearer separation between
Dark Gray and Black, plus near-white rendering in dark mode for both options.
- Improved translucent macOS toolbar consistency by enforcing
0.8 opacity for toolbar surfaces in translucency mode.
Fixed
- Fixed toolbar-symbol contrast edge cases in dark mode where gray/black variants could appear too similar.
Release

scripts/release_all.sh v0.5.3 notarized.
[v0.5.2] - 2026-03-09
Added
- Added editor performance presets in Settings (

Editor Help sheet that lists core editor actions and keyboard shortcuts.
- Added a dedicated
Support Neon Vision Editor… entry to the macOS Help menu for direct support-dialog access.
Improved
- Improved iOS/iPadOS large-file responsiveness by lowering automatic large-file thresholds and applying preset-based tuning.

Clear Diagnostics action that also clears file-open timing snapshots.
- Fixed macOS editor-window top-bar jumping when toggling the toolbar translucency control by keeping chrome flags stable.
- Fixed CSV/TSV mode header transparency so the mode bar now uses a solid standard window background.
- Fixed settings-window translucency consistency on macOS so title/tab and content regions render as one unified surface.
- Fixed cross-platform updater diagnostics compilation by adding a non-macOS bundle-version reader fallback.
- Fixed macOS system
Help menu fallback (“no help available”) by replacing it with working in-app help actions.

Fixed
- Fixed macOS line-number ruler behavior where line numbers could disappear near end-of-document when scrolling to the bottom.

Added
- Added translucency-toggle highlight refresh wiring so editor recoloring is explicitly re-triggered when window translucency changes.
Improved
- Improved syntax-highlighting stability during appearance/translucency transitions by forcing an immediate refresh instead of waiting for unrelated edits.

[v0.4.16] - 2026-02-14
Added
- Added a release-doc synchronization gate to
release_all.sh via prepare_release_docs.py --check so releases fail fast when docs are stale.
- Added a delegate-based updater download service that reports live progress into the update dialog.

Added
- Added centralized theme canonicalization with an explicit
Custom option in settings so legacy/case-variant values resolve consistently across launches.
- Added a fallback GitHub Releases URL path in the updater dialog so
View Releases always opens, even when no latest-release payload is cached.

- Improved updater behavior in local Xcode/DerivedData runs by disabling automatic install/relaunch in development runtime.
Fixed
- Fixed update dialog failures caused by over-strict GitHub release-source path validation.

UserDefaults fallback in DEBUG builds to avoid blocking SecItemCopyMatching behavior during local runs.
[v0.4.12] - 2026-02-14
Added

AppIcon.icon pipeline.
- Release asset verification now runs in strict iconstack mode to ensure published assets contain

scripts/ci/* can still be rebuilt and published.
Fixed

Added
- Indentation-based scope detection fallback for Python/YAML to render scoped-region and guide markers when bracket-only matching is not sufficient.
- Release workflow compatibility fallback for doc validation (
grep-based checks), so release jobs no longer depend on rg being preinstalled on runners.
Improved
- Scope/bracket highlighting stability by dropping stale asynchronous highlight passes and applying only the latest generation.
- Visibility of matched bracket tokens and scope guide markers for easier detection on iOS and macOS.
Fixed
- Settings window opening/persistence path now uses the native Settings scene behavior, avoiding custom frame persistence conflicts.
- iOS appearance override handling for light/dark/system now applies consistently across app windows/scenes.

- Editor text sanitization paths around paste/tab/open flows to reduce injected visible whitespace glyph artifacts.
- Prevented reintroduced whitespace/control glyph artifacts (
U+2581, U+2400–U+243F) during typing/paste by hardening sanitizer checks in editor update paths.
