What's new in MDX
Every release, in plain language. MDX updates automatically — the current version is 0.3.4.
- v0.3.4
What's new in MDX 0.3.4
- AI suggestions no longer duplicate letters when accepted mid-word — typing "th" and pressing Tab now completes to "the" instead of "thhe". The overlap between what you typed and the suggestion is now detected and removed reliably, whatever the model returns
- Simpler, more reliable ghostwriter prompt — works better with small local models (LM Studio, Ollama)
- v0.3.3
What's new in MDX 0.3.3
- Local LLMs now work for AI suggestions — the app no longer blocks plain-HTTP requests to localhost, so LM Studio (http://localhost:1234/v1), Ollama, and other local OpenAI-compatible servers can be used as the Compatible provider
- The API key field can be left empty for local servers that don't require one — suggestions no longer silently stay off without a key
- v0.3.2
What's new in MDX 0.3.2
- Inline math pasted from ChatGPT no longer shows up as raw text like (V(\mathbf r,t)) — formulas whose \( … \) delimiters got lost in the copy are now recognised and rendered on paste
- Works in both paste flavours: copying the rendered chat page and the plain-text Copy button, including replies where only some of the formulas rendered
- v0.3.1
What's new in MDX 0.3.1
- Math pasted from ChatGPT now renders the instant you paste it — equations copied as plain text (with bare [ … ] brackets instead of $$) are recognised automatically, so there's no need to toggle the source-code view to make them appear
- Multi-line equations no longer break: a stray = line that ChatGPT emits as a row of === is repaired instead of being turned into a heading
- v0.3.0
What's new in MDX 0.3.0
- Opening a folder with many deep subfolders is much faster — each directory is now scanned only once, and node_modules is skipped, so large vaults no longer hang on load
- Double-clicking a .md file now opens the file directly instead of just opening its folder and leaving you to click the file again
- v0.2.9
What's new in MDX 0.2.9
- YAML frontmatter at the top of a document is now preserved — the --- metadata block survives editing and saving instead of being stripped
- Citations now keep Pandoc-style prefixes and locators (e.g. [see @smith2020, pp. 10-15]) when you edit, save, and export
- v0.2.8
What's new in MDX 0.2.8
- Find (Ctrl+F) and Find & Replace (Ctrl+H) now float over the document instead of pushing your text down
- Greek letters added to the special characters picker (Ω) — full lowercase alphabet (α–ω) plus distinct uppercase letters
- v0.2.7
What's new in MDX 0.2.7
- Special characters picker (Ω) in the toolbar — superscript/subscript digits (¹₂), typography, quotes, arrows, symbols, and currency
- Word and character counts in the status bar now update live as you type
- Empty folders appear immediately in the sidebar so you can see them right after creation
- v0.2.6
What's new in MDX 0.2.6
- External edits to a .md file (from another editor, git pull, cloud sync) now hot-reload into any open tab automatically — no restart needed. Tabs with unsaved changes are left alone so your edits aren't clobbered
- Text-formatting toolbar buttons preview their own effect: B is bold, I is italic, S is struck-through, and <> is monospace
- Slightly narrower sidebar to give the editor a bit more breathing room
- v0.2.5
What's new in MDX 0.2.5
- Type @ anywhere in a paragraph to get inline citation autocomplete — searches citekey, title, author, and year
- Multiple .bib files per vault are now loaded and merged in the References sidebar; the first-discovered file is the primary (where new entries are saved)
- Hot-reload: edits to any .bib file (from Zotero's Better BibTeX, vim, or another editor) appear in the sidebar within ~1s without restarting MDX
- Renamed or deleted .bib files no longer leave ghost entries behind
- v0.2.4
What's new in MDX 0.2.4
- Ghost-writer now supports Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and xAI Grok in addition to OpenAI and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- Provider picker in Settings auto-fills the right endpoint and default model for each provider
- Defaults refreshed to the latest models: GPT-5.4 Mini, Claude Haiku 4.5, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Grok 4.3
- Your key still goes directly to the provider — MDX never proxies your prompts
- v0.2.3
What's new in MDX 0.2.3
- Click-and-edit equation editor: cursor walks into fractions, roots, sub/superscripts, matrices
- Built-in math virtual keyboard with symbols, Greek, and calculus templates
- Type LaTeX shortcuts (\frac, \sqrt, ^, _) and they auto-build into visual templates
- Markdown round-trip is unchanged — equations still save as $…$ and $$…$$
- v0.1.9
What's new in MDX 0.1.9
- Auto-update now flows through update.hellomdx.com (faster, global CDN)
- Status bar shows the running app version
- First launch on a new version shows release highlights
