v0.4.1 (2024-11-19)

Fixes

• Fixed links to open in a new tab (e.g. "Open in a new tab" from the project menu, Preview mode) or a default browser (e.g. Menu > Help & info > Community), instead of a generic new window. Addresses issues: #11, #18.

Security

• Fixed in-app navigation to have a limited range.
  Navigation within the app is now limited to a set of allowed addresses.

Internal:

• Restored security warnings.
  The app now displays security warnings when running in development mode.
