james.maesandCodex GPT-6 a44449b991 feat(releases): ship MSI and reuse exact-source CI proof (#40)
Stable1.0.2 and dev1.0.2-beta.1 EXEs/ZIPs are public and their actual
downloaded signatures, timestamps, payloads, hashes, SBOM/provenance and
updater feeds verify. Complete the owner's renewed MSI request by
pinning standards1.2.0 at0ef3d319, enabling signed per-user MSI
alongside EXE/ZIP, preparing1.0.3 channel links and next development
prefix1.0.4.

Stop duplicate release validation: a tag must be on main, have a
verified source signature, match the entire genuinely merged PR Git
tree, and reuse that head's latest successful required technical checks
under their configured provider identities. Missing, failed, stale,
pending or different-tree proof fails publication. All branch technical
gates remain required; fresh release build/core coverage, signing, exact
MSI payload/native lifecycle and distribution/SBOM/provenance checks
remain required. Application behavior/dependencies/Azure trust are
unchanged.

Validation: all8 script tests pass (including10 release-proof boundary
cases), live source proof verifies all17 genuine checks on the actual
published18d8ae9 tree, five actual documents pass canonical lint,
actionlint/zizmor and signed commit hooks pass. Exact-head full CI
starts with this PR; production signed MSI lifecycle is still required
before delivery. No claim of published MSI yet.

Owner explicitly authorized release without further human-review
requests. Record a truthful release-specific waiver; never fabricate
personal-read acknowledgement; restore original rules immediately after
the bounded merge. Substantial AI assistance: Codex GPT-6. Refs
#33,#36,#38 and KofTwentyTwo/standards#47.

Make Markdown easier to read

  • Make it your own. Choose from 20 document palettes, customize typography, and use a light, dark, or system app appearance.
  • Follow changes as they happen. Saved edits refresh automatically. The footer shows the loaded file's modification time and flags an unsuccessful reload.
  • Navigate long documents. Show Contents, jump between headings, collapse sections, and find text.
  • See how it is written. Open the highlighted, read-only source alongside the document. The split starts at 50/50 and resizes by dragging.
  • Share a finished document. Print from the toolbar or save a PDF with separate print styling and optional actions to open the result or its folder.
  • Stay in your workflow. Open several documents, launch your configured editor, or open the current document's folder in Explorer.

Contents and Source start hidden. Turn them on when needed, or change their new-window defaults in File → Settings → General.

Download and install

Windows packages support Windows 10 version 1809 or later and Windows 11, x64. Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is required. No .NET SDK is needed to use a release.

Edition Choose it for Package
Stable Everyday reading Download EXE installer · MSI installer
Development preview Trying upcoming changes Download dev EXE installer · MSI installer
Portable Running without installation Download portable ZIP

Download a package from Releases. Run Setup for a per-user installation without administrator rights, or extract the portable ZIP before launching the app.

Installed and portable editions check for updates through Help → Check for updates. Stable and development editions keep separate settings and update channels, so they can coexist.

Quick start

  1. Choose File → Open or press Ctrl+O and select your Markdown file.
  2. Use Theme to choose a document palette, Contents to navigate, and Source to inspect the Markdown.
  3. Save changes in your editor; the viewer refreshes automatically.
  4. Choose Print in the toolbar to print or create a PDF.

To open Markdown files in the viewer by default, use an installed copy and choose File → Settings → General → Choose default file types. Select MarkdownViewr in Windows Default Apps for your preferred extensions. Windows asks you to make that choice; installation preserves existing defaults.

See the user guide for settings, shortcuts, printing, and troubleshooting.
