v0.45.3
Released Jul 31, 2026. Part of the OpenKnowledge changelog.
Patch Changes
- Keep validation state current instead of waiting for each file to be opened. Sidebar highlights and problem counts are now correct when you open a project, when you enable a plugin, when you toggle a rule, and when you switch git branches — previously a file only turned yellow once you clicked into it, switching a rule off left its counts standing, a branch switch kept showing the previous branch's problems, and project-wide state appeared only after visiting Problems → Project. Repeat audits over unchanged files are also much faster, and concurrent audits of the same project are coalesced into one. Audits no longer stall the server while they run: on a large knowledge base a project-wide audit previously blocked saving, search, opening files, and collaboration for its whole duration, and now runs in the background instead.
- Fixed the Linux desktop packages (
.deband AppImage), which installed successfully and then failed to start. Launching the app did nothing at all — no window, no error dialog — because the packaged bundle was built without its runtime dependencies, so the app exited on its first import before it could show anything. Linux packages now ship their dependencies and launch normally. macOS and Windows builds were never affected.
