Release Notes
Public release notes pulled from the repository changelog, with the newest shipped versions first.
Version
.pdf web source first returns a JavaScript or bot-detection stub, Liner falls back to Playwright. If Chromium treats that PDF as a download, Liner now captures the downloaded file and runs the same shared PDF text extraction path instead of marking the source failed with Page.goto: Download is starting.Version
application/pdf, start with %PDF-, or use a .pdf URL path now run through the shared pdfplumber extraction path instead of being treated as HTML. This prevents raw PDF bytes from being written into sources/ and MIXTAPE.md.22/24 usable sources, 2 unavailable placeholders.Version
linersh-*@0.5.5, so the web extraction fixes below reach clean npx linersh installs on macOS, Linux, and Windows x64.j action that runs liner setup-js --yes, notes the ~150MB Chromium download, and retries the compile.MIXTAPE.md with some missing sources, the hub now lands in a finished "compiled with warnings" state instead of asking the user to compile again.MIXTAPE.md is current, pressing Enter on the completed Compile row opens the final compile result screen reconstructed from disk. Recompile is now explicit with r from that screen.liner uninstall. The npm shim can now remove local Liner state, Playwright's Chromium cache, and npm's _npx execution cache for clean reinstall testing.Version
LINER_SKILL_PATH pointing either at the skill directory or at SKILL.md, and shows the checked paths when the bundle still cannot be found. This fixes the Phase 2 "Couldn't find the curating-mixtapes skill bundle" failure seen after npx linersh.linersh@0.5.4 declares linersh-win32-x64@0.5.0 alongside the existing macOS/Linux platform packages. Publish the Windows platform package before publishing the main package so Windows installs receive the bundled CLI binary.npx linersh install CTA, version-consistent 0.5.3 labeling, Liner logo treatment, WebGL resize fix, continuous marquees, tightened mobile behavior, and a next-agent handoff document in marketing/site/AI-HANDOFF.md.gpt-5-mini for Codex). Framing, quality, synthesis, and assembly stay on the agent's default model, where curator taste matters most. Cuts a cycle's quota roughly 5×. Override per agent + phase in ~/.liner/config.yaml under models: — e.g. set candidates: opus to undo the downgrade. On a subscription the saving is rate-limit quota, not money. Claude phases use the sonnet alias, which auto-tracks the latest Sonnet, so model version bumps don't need a release.models.<agent>.<phase> in ~/.liner/config.yaml — and retries once on the agent's default model, so a stale model id degrades to "ran on the default" instead of a hard failure.$ cost from the process-manifest screen — the PhaseRunner's was already dropped in 0.5.2. Subscription-driven runs aren't metered API billing, so the dollar figure was fictional; token counts stay.Version
liner --version now reports the TUI/npm version, not just the bundled Python core. It used to forward straight to the core and print e.g. liner 0.5.0 regardless of which package you installed — confusing when verifying a publish. Now prints liner <tui> (tui) · <core> (core) (and just the TUI version when the core isn't resolvable).package.json at runtime instead of separately-edited string constants. (The splash had silently sat at 0.5.0 through the entire 0.5.2 cycle.) Only package.json needs bumping on release.Version
.mixtape files in the current folder, offers a re-scan, drops the opaque "archive" label, and lands you on the imported mixtape's hub rather than a phase prompt.q quits from any screen; esc goes back.400 … thinking blocks in the latest assistant message cannot be modified once Claude Code auto-compacted a conversation that had interleaved thinking on. The spawned agent now runs with extended thinking disabled (MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0), so the failure class can't occur.--strict-mcp-config, so it no longer inherits the user's global MCP servers and connectors — less context bloat, narrower reach, no irrelevant tools.Version
curating-mixtapes skill bundle now ships inside the npm package, so AI-assisted JTBD clarification works for npm installs (it was silently falling back to canned questions in 0.5.0).#000000).o command opens the mixtape folder in the OS file manager.Version
linersh npm package now declares per-platform optional CLI packages (linersh-darwin-arm64, linersh-darwin-x64, linersh-linux-arm64, linersh-linux-x64, linersh-win32-x64) so the TUI can find the bundled core on clean machines.liner shim now opens the TUI when run with no arguments and forwards CLI subcommands (setup-js, compile, share, status, etc.) to the bundled core.prepack builds dist/, and prepublishOnly runs typecheck, tests, and build before publish.0.5.0.liner setup-js path for JavaScript rendering.Version
local_file for content the curator has on disk (PDF, Markdown, text, HTML). Required fields: path (must resolve under the project's new personal/ subdirectory) and citation. Max 10MB per file.render field on web sources. Default server (existing behavior); js opts into Playwright-backed rendering for JavaScript-only sites.linersh[js] — installs Playwright + Chromium for render: js. The default pipx install linersh stays lean (~30MB); pipx install 'linersh[js]' adds ~150MB.pdfplumber added to core dependencies for PDF extraction.liner share --no-personal flag. personal/ is included in exports by default; library submissions must pass --no-personal and use only public sources.share prints a soft warning when the tape contains local_file sources, noting the result isn't library-eligible.fetch(url) to fetch(spec) so handlers can see metadata they may need (e.g. render). Internal change; doesn't affect tape format.local_file paths; source-modal type toggle (T) and render toggle (R); source-row icons updated.scripts/uninstall.sh — interactive bash uninstaller that removes the CLI, the Playwright browser, the local cache, and (optionally) globally installed TUI / dev .venv / mixtape workspace. Documented in README.liner setup-js subcommand. One-shot: installs Playwright via pipx inject (or pip for non-pipx envs) and downloads the Chromium binary. Idempotent. Replaces the documented two-step "pipx install 'linersh[js]' + remember the playwright path" recipe.web source with no render field tries server-rendered HTML first, and if the page turns out to be JS-walled, automatically falls back to headless Chromium (provided liner setup-js has been run). The compile output shows a warning when the fallback triggers so the curator sees the cost. Existing tapes with render: js continue to skip the server attempt; new render: server opt-out is available for library submissions or diagnostics.Version
liner compile now takes a project folder and writes outputs in place. The --output, --format, and --no-preamble flags are removed.liner init now scaffolds a project folder with the starter tape, a synthesis.md placeholder, and working/01..04 stubs.synthesis.md is required by liner compile — missing it is a hard error.liner share <folder> (zip → .mixtape) and liner import <archive> [dest] (unzip + refetch). Share flags: --no-working-notes, --no-source-content, --minimal, --out.liner cache list, liner cache show <url>.mode (quick | methodology), jtbd, methodology_version.liner list walks for project folders (directories containing tape.yaml) instead of flat *.yaml files.--emit-events final result payload now reports the produced folder, MIXTAPE.md path, and per-source file paths instead of a rendered Markdown string.examples/mobile-design.yaml to examples/mobile-design-foundations/ (runnable project folder).Version
liner init, liner compile, liner clone, liner list, liner cache {info,clear,purge}.npx linersh / liner): interactive tape editor with browser, editor, source modal, and live-streaming compile view.youtube-transcript-api → yt-dlp fallback and --cookies support.~/.liner/cache.db (30-day TTL for YouTube, 7-day for web).<tape>.mixtape.md.liner compile --emit-events streams NDJSON progress events to stdout for programmatic clients (TUI, future MCP server).
