Current public release: CLI binaries.

DraftPilot's stable public channel is the standalone CLI for macOS arm64 and Linux x64. Windows CLI and desktop app packaging are preview channels while we collect more real-machine testing.

What's new in 0.1.7

Double-clicking PDF text now briefly highlights the matching word in the TeX editor after the SyncTeX jump.
When the PDF text does not appear directly in the source, DraftPilot highlights the destination line instead.
The highlight fades after four seconds and can be turned off in Settings. It does not save an annotation.
Restart running workspaces after draftpilot update to use the new binary.

Desktop app updates

Packaged macOS and Linux apps are not part of the current public download channel. Use the CLI binaries until desktop app artifacts are published.
