DorkOS Teamrelease

DorkOS 0.75.1

A one-fix patch for the desktop app, which could reload itself every ten seconds after a page change or while a web page was open on a canvas.

releasedesktop

This patch fixes one bug in the desktop app, and it is a bad one if you hit it. The window could reload itself about ten seconds after you moved to another page, and every ten seconds while a web page was open on a canvas. Each reload threw away anything you had typed and not yet sent. If your desktop app has been refreshing on its own, this release is for you.

Highlights

The desktop app stops reloading itself

The desktop app keeps a safety timer that reloads the window if a page never comes up. That timer was starting on the wrong signal, so an ordinary page change or an embedded web page looked like a page that failed to start. It now starts only when a new page really begins loading, and page changes and embedded pages are left alone.

All Changes

Fixed

  • Desktop: the app no longer reloads its own window about ten seconds after you move to another page, or every ten seconds while a web page is open on a canvas. Each of those reloads threw away anything you had typed and not yet sent (#1860, DOR-2041)
  • Give markdown documents cleaner spacing, aligned lists, and readable tables and code in both light and dark mode.
  • Keep open documents in step with the app's colors when you switch themes.
