Changes in this version:

3.0.0

Added

  • Ability to auto-hide the menubar #5
  • Added "Office" category to all Linux builds #1
  • Better validation of the app's settings file - it'll now revert to a default one if there's a missing value or other error.

Changed

  • Entire program has been re-written in TypeScript
    • This means you should see fewer-to-no crashes!
    • Makes my life easier adding, fixing and removing code in the future
  • Build scripts using Docker for Cross-Platform Compilation on macOS
    • See scripts/docker.sh.
    • Docker auto-loads scripts/bashrc.
    • Run with npm run dist:allother
  • PDF viewer now works by locally downloading the PDF (still the same network overhead, just a forced workaround to a bug I had).
    • Previewing PDFs overwrites the old PDF on your drive to save storage
    • The temporary PDF download is deleted when quitting Overleaf Desktop
  • PDF view now closes when the main IDE window is closed

Fixed

  • Overleaf Desktop not starting on Ubuntu (I've tested this on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 under WSL2) #4

This update was mostly for me -- I made the releases push to snap and made the creation of apps more seamless.

Overleaf, unlike Google products, uses good class names for its objects. That made this release much easier and I think it's already feature-complete.

For Ubuntu Users: Overleaf Desktop is now on the Ubuntu app store! Just search for it and you'll find it.
