|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0.2 | 9/17/26 | Magister-Code-1.0.2.dmg | Magister Code 1.0.2 brings named background swatches, with sixteen defaults, that tint individual files, editor panes, or terminal tabs from a right-click menu. Terminal history is now saved in the project file and restored on reopen with its colors and attributes intact, alongside each terminal's working directory, and Finder files dropped on a terminal are typed at the prompt as shell-escaped paths. Tabs in both editors and terminals can be dragged to reorder or moved between columns, terminal selection now spans lines with triple-click line selection and Escape to clear, and soft-wrapped lines copy as one logical line. The sidebar and Quick Open honor .gitignore rules, Quick Open ranks matches best-first, its query field and the find bar are full Magister editors, and a Find Again command repeats the last search. A File > Open Recent menu lists recent projects and files, files can be dragged from Finder straight onto an editor pane, quitting asks for confirmation, and typing over selected word occurrences replaces them all at once. Language mode files apply immediately when saved and can be set per file from the View menu, gutter line numbers are smaller and configurable, and Return in text mode keeps the indentation of the nearest text line above. This release also fixes toolbar buttons that stopped responding while a file path was shown in the title bar, sidebar rows scrolling up under the window controls, find bar fields that could shrink to their minimum width, and the tree losing its scroll position after every save. |
| 1.0.1 | 8/24/26 | Magister-Code-1.0.1.dmg | The terminal takes a big step forward in this release: each pane can now hold multiple shell tabs that you can name and rearrange, every terminal remembers its working directory with the project, text selection works like a real terminal, and your favorite editor word-editing shortcuts now work right at the shell prompt. Web links light up everywhere — in terminal output and text documents alike — ready to open or copy with a right-click. The sidebar and Quick Open now respect your .gitignore files, keeping build products and other clutter out of sight, while Quick Open also ranks its results so the file you meant is at the top. Day-to-day navigation gets nicer touches throughout: the title bar shows the file you're editing, Find Again repeats your last search with a keystroke, files can be dropped from Finder straight into an editor, and a new Open Recent menu brings back recent projects and files. Window and project handling is more predictable — quitting remembers exactly what you had open, and resizing the sidebar never steals an editor column. Rounding things out are new theming options for links and toolbar icons, plus a healthy batch of stability and polish fixes across editing, selection, and startup. |
| 1.0.0 | 8/22/26 | Magister-Code-1.0.0.dmg | Initial release of Magister Code, featuring fixed-width editor columns, a project sidebar, terminals under every column, session restoration, multiple cursors, autocomplete, project search, Git change indicators, customizable CSON settings, and twenty built-in language modes. |
