Branding:
- All app icons regenerated from the new vector brand kit (M↓ mark):
icon.png/icon@2x (app + packaging), favicon.png, tray-icon.png, and the
full assets/icons/ size set — generate-icons.js now rasterizes
app-icon.svg directly (docico1.png removed)
- index.html gets proper favicon/apple-touch links from the kit
- Welcome tab hero shows the new mark; README gets the horizontal wordmark
- assets/logo.png (ConcreteInfo) intentionally untouched
CI release fixes (win/mac jobs were failing):
- FiraCode download moved from moving raw/master URLs (hash drifted
upstream, tripping the pin) to the immutable 6.2 release asset; repo
fonts updated to the pinned 6.2 bits
- macOS pandoc extractor locates the binary in the archive instead of
assuming a bin/ layout that the macOS zip doesn't have
Stray upload archive (markdown-converter-assets (1).zip) excluded.
- electron-builder config moves to electron-builder.config.js so markitdown
bundling is conditional per platform (PyInstaller only builds for the host
OS; a missing binary now logs a warning and ships without it instead of
failing the build); package.json static build section removed, all npm
scripts pointed at the config; third-party-licenses/ added to packaged files
- FIX (pre-existing): packaged apps looked for bundled pandoc in
resources/bin, but extraFiles land next to the executable (Contents/ on
macOS) — packaged builds silently fell back to system pandoc since 4.5.
New bundledToolDir() resolves the real location for pandoc + markitdown
- download-tools.js pins the win32 pandoc.exe SHA-256 (fetched + verified)
- sharp packaging test accepts sharp 0.35's versioned binding filename
- release.yml: bundle-markitdown step (best-effort) on every OS and a new
macOS job; release aggregates linux+windows+macos artifacts
Local release artifacts built and verified (dist/):
- MarkdownConverter-4.7.0.AppImage (363MB, pandoc+markitdown bundled,
packaged app boots clean, tools resolve at the fixed path)
- markdown-converter_4.7.0_amd64.deb (293MB)
- MarkdownConverter-Setup-4.7.0.exe (223MB), portable exe (223MB), zip
(305MB) — pandoc bundled; markitdown omitted (cannot cross-build),
legal docs verified inside app.asar
637/637 tests green; lint clean.
Bundle (v4.7.0):
- MarkItDown frozen to a single ~75MB per-platform binary (PyInstaller via
npm run bundle:markitdown; ML extras excluded) — built and verified
locally: HTML/XLSX/PDF conversions pass through the bundled binary, and
the app resolves bin/linux/markitdown first at runtime
- Packaging copies bundled markitdown alongside Pandoc for win/mac/linux;
FFmpeg/sharp/KaTeX/fonts were already bundled
Legal artifacts:
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md: complete license inventory of everything
distributed (binaries, npm runtime deps, fonts, embedded Python packages)
- SOURCES.md: GPL §3(b) written source offers for Pandoc 3.9.0.2,
ffmpeg-static's GPL build, and the PyInstaller bootloader; LGPL relinking
note for libvips
- third-party-licenses/: canonical GPL-2.0, LGPL-2.1, MPL-2.0, Apache-2.0,
OFL-1.1, PSF-Python texts
- Help > Third-Party Notices & Licenses: in-app viewer for both documents
- README: 'Bundled Dependencies, Legal Notices & Credits' section
Hardening:
- download-tools.js now SHA-256 pins every artifact, verifies after
download AND against the cache on every run, and hard-fails on mismatch
(closes security finding D6)
Large tools intentionally not bundled (documented): LibreOffice,
MiKTeX/TeX Live, ImageMagick, PlantUML+JRE, Calibre.
637/637 tests green; lint clean; clean boot; bundled binary verified.
- Remove package-lock.json from .gitignore so npm ci works in CI
- Refactor main.js: delegate PDF ops to src/main/PDFOperations.js,
git ops to src/main/GitOperations.js
- getPandocPath(): use bundled binary from resources/bin/ when packaged,
fall back to dev bin/ or system pandoc in development
- getFFmpegPath(): use ffmpeg-static (asarUnpack) when packaged
- Install ffmpeg-static (v5.3.0, bundled 76MB binary)
- Add scripts/download-tools.js to fetch pandoc binary at build time
(idempotent, runs on CI before electron-builder)
- electron-builder: add asarUnpack for ffmpeg-static, extraFiles for
pandoc binary per platform (linux + win32)
- release.yml: switch build-windows to windows-latest runner with native
NSIS support; add cert decode step; add download-tools step for both
linux and windows jobs
- Fix lint error: hoist outlinePanelContainer to module scope so
TabManager methods can reference it without no-undef errors

- Remove signAndEditExecutable:false so code signing works properly
- Add legalTrademarks and copyright metadata to build config
- Add publisherName via build.copyright (embedded in PE resources)
- Create scripts/create-selfsigned-cert.ps1 for local dev signing
- Update release.yml: build on windows-latest runner (not Wine),
auto-sign when CSC_LINK_BASE64/CSC_KEY_PASSWORD secrets present,
fall back to unsigned otherwise
- Add lint step to ci.yml (Phase 4.3 plan gap)
- Add .vscode/launch.json debug configs (Phase 4.3 plan gap)
- Fix .gitignore: exclude *.pfx/*.p12 cert files, track launch.json,
fix concatenated agents.md/coverage/ lines
