v0.4.1

A small quality-of-life release focused on navigation polish and platform-specific window behavior — a hover URL preview, Alt+1–9 tab switching, pinch-to-zoom, and fixes for new-tab URL handling, macOS fullscreen controls, and Linux window decorations.

What's in this one

  • Hovering a link now shows a Chrome-style status bar at the bottom-left of the page with the destination URL, rendered reliably in the page's main world and excluded from ad-blocker hiding rules
  • Press Alt + 1 through 9 to jump directly to a tab by position, and two-finger pinch gestures now zoom page content on macOS trackpads
  • URLs typed on the new-tab page now navigate directly instead of being sent to the search engine
  • The macOS traffic-light controls are available in fullscreen, and Linux launches maximized with native window controls so the taskbar stays visible

v0.4.1

July 9, 2026 Latest

A quality-of-life release adding a Chrome-style hover URL preview, Alt+1–9 keyboard tab switching, and pinch-to-zoom for macOS trackpads, and fixing new-tab page URL handling, macOS fullscreen window controls, and borderless-fullscreen window behavior on Linux.

v0.4.0

June 30, 2026

Refines the tab bar and toolbar with content-sized tabs, a hover-only close button, larger scroll chevrons, and brand-red icon hovers, and fixes camera and microphone capture in packaged macOS builds by code-signing with hardened-runtime entitlements and driving the native capture prompt.

v0.3.2

June 28, 2026

Adds Chrome-style page zoom and drag-to-reorder tabs in Command-O, promotes "Search the web" to the top of every result list, opens page-spawned tabs next to their opener, and stops the macOS "Local Network" prompt while fixing third-party cookie handling on top-level navigations.

v0.3.1

May 27, 2026

A maintenance release fixing sub-frame address-bar updates and stray helper-frame tabs, preserving exact tab order and pinned tabs on session restore, applying the first-party ad-blocker exemption across all blocklists, and suffixing duplicate downloads.

v0.3.0

May 24, 2026

The Nav0 editorial redesign lands across every built-in page — tab strip, new tab, Bookmarks, History, Downloads, Settings, About, Command-K, and error pages — plus address-bar Enter fixes, coalesced getUserMedia prompts, and unblocked streaming sub-resources in private mode.

v0.2.9

May 17, 2026

A unified address bar autocomplete that ranks bookmarks above history, new Cmd/Ctrl+L and corrected Ctrl+W shortcuts, a fully in-memory private-mode database with startup cleanup, and fixes for ad blocker false positives and the empty About-page checksum row.

v0.2.8

May 11, 2026

v0.2.7

May 10, 2026

A `nav0` CLI for launching from the terminal, audited keyboard shortcuts across platforms, a stop-loading button in the address bar, and fixes for Gmail PDF downloads, blurry favicons, and the macOS dock icon.

v0.2.6

May 6, 2026

Fixed packaging breakage from the Electron 41 upgrade, restored Google sign-in by refreshing Firefox UA cap and Chrome preset, and softened the new-tab gradient background.

v0.2.5

May 5, 2026

Time-based greetings and a pastel-gradient new-tab page, fixed WebContents cleanup on window close, a streamlined Command-K, the new compass logo across the app, and an Electron 41 upgrade.

Settings page redesign, favicons next to origins in Site Permissions, and a new linting/formatting/pre-commit-hook tooling stack.
