✨ New Features

🎬 Presentation / Slideshow Mode (by @julianromli)

Fitur mode presentasi yang komprehensif kini hadir di PDF Kit! Nikmati pengalaman presentasi PDF yang lebih profesional dengan:

• Slideshow Mode (F5) — Tampilkan PDF dalam mode layar penuh yang bersih dan bebas gangguan.
• External Display Sync — Mendukung sinkronisasi tampilan ke layar eksternal/proyektor secara otomatis melalui window presenter terpisah.
• Floating Controls — Kontrol navigasi melayang yang muncul saat hover untuk berpindah halaman dengan mulus.
• Reading Mode / View Modes — Opsi tampilan baru seperti mode membaca yang lebih nyaman.
• Keyboard Navigation — Gunakan tombol panah, Page Up/Down, atau F5 untuk navigasi antar halaman saat presentasi.
• Settings Integration — Pilihan layar presentasi kini tersedia di panel Settings → General.

🗂️ Drag & Drop PDF Merge (by @julianromli)

Fitur penggabungan PDF kini jauh lebih intuitif:

• Drag & Drop Upload — Seret file PDF langsung dari Explorer ke dalam dialog Merge PDF.
• Drag to Reorder — Urutkan ulang file yang akan digabungkan dengan cara menyeretnya ke posisi yang diinginkan.
• Stable Item IDs — Input page range pada setiap file tidak akan hilang saat melakukan reorder.
• Smart Drop Routing — Menjatuhkan file baru di atas baris yang sudah ada tetap menambahkan file baru, bukan menggantikan.
• Validation — Pesan error yang jelas jika file yang dijatuhkan bukan PDF.

🛠️ Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Fix: Infinite Render Loop — Memperbaiki bug kritis di mana masuk ke mode single-page memicu loop render tanpa henti yang menyebabkan aplikasi freeze dan force-close. handleFitToPage dan handleFitToWidth sekarang dibungkus dengan useCallback untuk stabilitas penuh.
• Fix: DOM Variable Shadowing — Semua akses DOM di PDFViewer.tsx kini menggunakan window.document untuk menghindari konflik dengan objek PDF dari pdfjs-dist.
• Fix: Keyboard Shortcuts — Shortcut F5 dan F11 untuk Presentation Mode kini terdokumentasi di dialog Keyboard Shortcuts Help.
• Fix: dev:electron Script — Script development Electron sekarang melakukan build:electron terlebih dahulu sebelum launch untuk memastikan kode main process terbaru selalu digunakan.
• Cleanup — Menghapus file sampah (nul, commit.txt, git_log_*.txt) dari workspace.

---

🧪 Testing

• 90 unit tests dari 12 file test — semua PASS ✅
• Termasuk 5 test baru untuk MergeDialog (drag & drop, reorder, validasi)
• Termasuk test baru untuk PDFViewer dan ViewerFloatingControls
• Termasuk test baru untuk pdf-store dan settings-store

1.0.17

PDF Kit v1.0.17 Release Notes

We are thrilled to announce the release of PDF Kit v1.0.17, packed with significant User Experience (UX) enhancements, robust multi-tasking capabilities, and crucial performance optimizations.

🚀 Key Features & UX Improvements

• Interactive Drag & Drop Experience: The home screen now provides brilliant visual feedback when dragging PDFs into the app, turning blue to clearly indicate the drop zone is ready.
• Top Navigation on Empty State: The Theme Toggle (Dark/Light mode), Settings, About, and Check Updates buttons are now always accessible from the home screen, even when no documents are open.
• Fluent "Facing Pages" View: Fixed a layout bug in the side-by-side reading mode (Facing Pages) where zooming in previously caused the top of the pages to be permanently clipped off-screen.
• Global Ctrl+Scroll Zoom: You can now seamlessly zoom in and out of your PDF documents by holding the Ctrl (or Cmd) key and using your mouse scroll wheel or touchpad gesture.
• Improved Toolbar Icon Visibility: Every tool icon in the Ribbon Toolbar now explicitly includes a compact, text description label beneath it to remove any guesswork, all without sacrificing screen real estate. The tabs are horizontally scrollable for smaller screens.

⚡ Performance & Core Upgrades

• Multi-Tab Support Unleashed: True multitasking is here! You can now select or drag-and-drop multiple PDFs at once, and they will load sequentially into completely independent tabs.
• Infinite Scrolling without layout breaks: Completely overhauled the scrolling behavior across view modes. The buggy scrollIntoView() has been replaced with precise mathematical offsets, eliminating the "UI shooting into blackness" glitch when typing page numbers or switching tabs.
• Lightning Fast Virtualization: The continuous reading mode has been heavily optimized using react-virtual, cutting down rendering time by 97% for massive PDFs. Thumbnails also now utilize IntersectionObserver to only render when on-screen, fixing memory crashes on long documents.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• No More Cut-off AI Panels: Fixed a critical flexbox boundary issue where the AI chat input field at the bottom of the screen would literally fall off the bottom edge of the display window.
• Graceful Tab Switching: Resolved a blank-page rendering crash that occurred when rapidly switching between document tabs before the previous PDF Canvas had finished drawing.
• Intelligent Page Navigation Field: Expanded the size of the manual page input box so typing triple-digit page numbers (e.g. 400+) doesn't cut off the numbers anymore.
