Version 0.1.31

This release focuses on improving code quality and maintainability by introducing a new helper method to prevent bugs, enhancing documentation on testing best practices, fixing critical bugs related to API calls, and cleaning up code formatting.

New Features

  • Added a buildLLMRequest helper method in the App class to centralize and standardize parameters for LLM API requests, preventing missing base_url bugs and reducing code duplication (f4b362) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed missing base_url parameter in all /api/refine-query calls (search, research, factcheck), ensuring correct routing through LLM proxy configurations (36bdd0) (Eric Ma)

Deprecations

  • Removed 7 unit tests for the buildLLMRequest helper after code review, following updated testing guidelines that discourage unit testing complex instance methods with runtime dependencies (a95a93) (Eric Ma)

Version 0.1.30

This release improves the robustness of text highlighting in markdown tables containing rendered math by replacing the previous normalization-based matching with a Smith-Waterman local alignment algorithm. This change addresses issues with incorrect or partial highlights caused by browser artifacts when selecting text from KaTeX-rendered content.

New Features

  • Implement Smith-Waterman local alignment to accurately match user text selections in HTML, handling insertions, deletions, and mismatches gracefully (064e70) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix text highlighting failures in KaTeX-rendered markdown tables by replacing normalization-based matching with sequence alignment (064e70) (Eric Ma)

  • Implemented the /factcheck slash command with claim selection modal and verification logic, including parallel fact-checking and verdict analysis (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
  • Added loading node UX to show immediate feedback during factcheck processing, with status updates and cancellation support (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
  • Enabled selecting more than five claims with an informational warning and added a toggle to select or deselect all claims (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
  • Added smooth accordion expand/collapse transitions for factcheck nodes for a polished user experience (c365c9) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected factcheck modal element ID from claims-count to selection-count (c365c9) (Eric Ma)

Version 0.1.27

This release improves the testing setup by importing actual implementations instead of copies, refactors highlight-related utilities into a shared module, and fixes source text highlighting for multiline selections spanning multiple block elements.

New Features

  • Extract highlight utilities into a separate module for reuse across the app and tests, and add documentation for testing DOM-dependent functions (e62612) (Eric Ma)
  • Update test_search.js to import actual implementations by adding CommonJS exports, ensuring tests validate real code (9d0608) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix source text highlighting for multiline selections by correctly handling text node spacing, blockquote prefixes, and adding comprehensive tests (7cb221) (Eric Ma)

Version 0.1.26

This release introduces support for user-defined custom models compatible with LiteLLM, allowing users to add and manage their own model IDs with optional base URLs. It also improves the release process by preventing trailing whitespace and stale lock files, and refactors release formatting to use pre-commit hooks for better consistency.

New Features

  • Add support for user-defined custom models that persist in settings and appear in the model picker, with optional per-model base URL configuration (d1b19b) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Prevent trailing whitespace and stale pixi.lock files in release notes by stripping whitespace, updating lock files after changes, and committing them together (b393b0) (Eric Ma)

  • Added 3D flip animation for flashcards using CSS transforms and toggleable flipped state (edad5e) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed flashcard action buttons (create, flip, review) not working due to missing CSS classes and event listeners (edc78b7) (Eric Ma)
  • Fixed review modal input not working on subsequent reviews by updating event listener setup order and resetting button state (f9b0cbf) (Eric Ma)
  • Fixed flashcard review status display to show 'Due tomorrow' for failed cards instead of 'New' by basing status on nextReviewDate (0d98ea5) (Eric Ma)
  • Fixed flashcard review status update and null reference errors by re-fetching nodes and preserving reviewedCount before modal close (67f13e0) (Eric Ma)
  • Fixed checkDueFlashcardsOnLoad to use getAllNodes() instead of nodes Map for accurate due card detection (e89fe88) (Eric Ma)

Deprecations

Version 0.1.24

This version introduces a new interactive feature that allows users to highlight nodes by their tags, improving the ability to visually filter and explore tagged elements within the interface.

New Features

  • Added the ability to highlight all nodes sharing a tag by clicking on tag chips. Non-matching nodes and their edges fade out, while matching nodes receive a highlight ring.
