0.21.5

BeauTyXT has been split up into two parts: OldTyXT and NewTyXT.

The version that's shipped is currently OldTyXT. OldTyXT is effectively deprecated. No new features will be added to OldTyXT. OldTyXT will still be maintained until NewTyXT can fully replace it.

NewTyXT is a rewrite which aims to adhere to Android development best practices. NewTyXT is work-in-progress. Once basic text file editing is implemented, the setting to switch between OldTyXT and NewTyXT will be exposed in the UI to facilitate public testing.

Notable Changes

• merge NewTyXT into BeauTyXT, splitting it into OldTyXT and NewTyXT (see above)
• add sliding screen transition animations
• update target SDK 35
• dependency updates except for Typst (unable to upgrade it from 0.11.1 to 0.13.0 unfortunately, it's not able to find the main.typ file and crashes)

0.21.3

This minor release adds Material You colors for links in the Markdown preview that were previously using the default colors, which resulted in an insufficient amount of contrast when coupled with some Material You backgrounds. Thanks to @rockygolucky for reporting this issue.

Notable Changes

• Use Material You colors for links in Markdown preview (#153) by @soupslurpr in #154
• Dependency bumps by @soupslurpr in #155

Full Changelog: v0.21.2...v0.21.3

0.21.2

Seccomp has been removed as it causes too many problems without a way to automatically get the syscalls the program uses. Doing it manually is tedious and error prone. It may be added back once a way to automatically get the syscalls a program uses is available. This is not a priority.

Notable Changes

• removed seccomp filters by @soupslurpr
• updated dependencies (including Rust version to nightly 2024-04-18) by @soupslurpr

0.21.1

This release fixes rendering Markdown, which was entirely broken in the last release and caused a crash.

Notable Changes

• add new syscalls to fix crashing when rendering markdown by @soupslurpr in ef0410a
• Typst library: replace our own SYS_membarrier with libc one by @soupslurpr in b4a7a52

0.21.0

We've beefed up the Rust libraries' sandbox security with a seccomp filter using seccompiler and by allocating each file/project its own exclusive Rust library process. Plus, you can now open files directly via the share intent, and we have broadened the supported mime types for opening more files from other apps. Finally, Typst has been updated to version 0.11.

Notable Changes

• Run each file/project with its own Rust library process by @soupslurpr in f0f7888
• Update min SDK to 29 as a result of the above change by @soupslurpr
• Add seccomp filter for Rust libraries using seccompiler by @soupslurpr
• Port to Typst 0.11 by @soupslurpr in 6bcf60e
• Support for opening files from ACTION_SEND (Share intent) by @soupslurpr in efff88c
• Support more mime types when opening from intents by @soupslurpr in 4432714
• Don't compile Markdown on first load when render markdown is off by @soupslurpr in 4181609
• Bump various dependencies by @soupslurpr
• Update Rust to nightly-2024-03-17 by @soupslurpr

0.20.0

BeauTyXT now sandboxes all Rust code it runs! The Typst Rust library has been put in a separate process and library than the Plain Text and Markdown Rust library code, which are also put in a separate library and process than the main app process! This means that in the event of the library being exploited successfully (e.g. by a malicious file), the attacker can't do as much damage and they should get kicked out after restarting the app assuming they can't get past the isolatedProcess service.

BeauTyXT might be one of the most secure Plain Text, Markdown, and Typst editor!

Notable Changes

• Run Typst Rust library in isolated process by @soupslurpr in e9cee78
• Bump dependencies, including Rust toolchain by @soupslurpr in e9cee78
• Add additional propaganda by @soupslurpr in 6afb99c
