What's New

Changelog

Notable changes to Notepad Neo, most recent first.

v1.2.0 August 2026 Latest

→Engineering write-ups published, covering bidirectional text and both export pipelines
→Storage: the localStorage key is now cleared when a session is promoted to IndexedDB, so a stale copy can no longer win on the next load
→Marketing pages rewritten — each now covers a distinct topic rather than repeating the feature list
→Feature reference updated to include PDF, DOCX, and right-to-left language support

v1.1.0 July 2026 Export & Languages

→Export as Word (.docx) — OOXML written in-browser, no library and no server round-trip
→Export as PDF — laid out by measuring the document, with an automatic fallback to the browser print pipeline for scripts the writer cannot encode
→Right-to-left language support: direction is detected per paragraph, so a note can mix Arabic or Hebrew with English
→Direction is carried into DOCX export via w:bidi, w:rtl and w:bidiVisual
→Manual direction lock in the Format panel for paragraphs the detection gets wrong
→Fixed link insertion placing the link at the top of the document instead of at the caret
→Fixed selection colour and several Find & Replace issues
→Keyboard shortcut fixes, including correct ⌘/⌥ labelling on macOS

v1.0.0 June 2026 Initial Release

→Multi-tab editing with rename, colour coding, duplicate, and close
→Rich text toolbar: bold, italic, underline, headings, lists, links
→Font family selection and font size picker (8–72 px)
→Text colour and highlight pickers with a no-colour reset
→Find & Replace with regex, case-sensitive, and whole-word options
→Per-tab zoom (50–300%), persisted with autosave
→Fullscreen mode (F11) with a floating mini toolbar
→Floating window via the Document Picture-in-Picture API
→Autosave every 500ms to localStorage, with an IndexedDB fallback on quota errors
