v1.0 — CV Machine

v1.0 November 10, 2026 · Release notes

First stable release, mostly to bring the project to a close before it hibernates. The data format is frozen. Adds storage in a local directory and a header that can lead with the title; fixes the reading order of section headings in the PDF.

New

  • Local directory storage: documents as plain JSON files in a directory you pick, which scripts or an agent can edit (Chromium browsers)
  • The résumé header can lead with the title instead of the name
  • Three typeface presets

PDF and exports

  • Section headings now come out in reading order for text extractors; they used to land at the end of each page
  • The PDF is always A4, like the preview
  • Links typed without https:// now work, and phone numbers and emails only become links when they are one
  • The HTML export no longer carries the document's private name

Editing and saving

  • Staged changes no longer drop an earlier edit, and an entry added while staging can be edited
  • A save that fails is shown, with a retry; a file the app can't read is reported and left untouched
  • Removing a section or an entry asks first when its content exists nowhere else
  • Enter ends an edit instead of merging two lines
  • Dialogs and menus work from the keyboard
  • Faster first load: fonts are fetched only when used

The V0.0 beta is retired.
