Changelog

1.1.0 — July 14, 2026

• License, Help, Review, and a new Donate button now live together bottom-right in a footer bar, matching the rest of the twoplus11 apps — the header toolbar is decluttered to just Reload and Keyboard shortcuts.
• Donate. A low-pressure prompt appears once after a good number of compares, and never again if dismissed. Support twoplus11 anytime from the new footer button.
• Corrected Dock icon sizing so it reads at the same visual size as other Mac apps.

1.0.0 — July 13, 2026 · Initial public release

The first release. Drop an Original and a Revised document, and Redlinr turns them into a redline you can actually read.

• Compare two documents. Word (.docx and the legacy .doc), PDF, RTF, ODT, HTML, Markdown, or plain text — in any combination — into a visual redline. Everything runs locally; nothing is ever uploaded.
• Text extraction via macOS's built-in textutil for Word, RTF, ODT and HTML, and PDFKit for a PDF's text layer. There's no OCR: a scanned, image-only PDF is reported as such rather than silently shown as blank.
• A two-level diff. Paragraphs are aligned first, then a word-level diff runs only inside the paragraphs that actually changed — so even large documents stay fast, and a single very long changed line falls back to a clean delete-and-insert instead of freezing the compare.
• Inline redline — deletions struck through in rose, insertions underlined in green — and an aligned split view of Original vs Revised.
• Change navigation. A floating "Change N of M" pager, with keyboard shortcuts, steps through every change, with a persistent highlight in the redline, split view, and sidebar.
• Moved blocks. A paragraph that was relocated — not re-worded — is shown once with a "Moved" badge, instead of reading as an unrelated deletion and insertion.
• Plain-English headline summarizing the most significant changes, with paired before→after value chips for numbers, money, dates, and percentages.
• Ignore case and ignore whitespace toggles re-run the compare with relaxed matching, while the rendered text always shows the original.
• Automatic reload. Redlinr notices when an open document changes on disk — say, a lease you just re-exported — and offers a one-click reload, via a banner, a header button, or ⌘R.
• Change summary sidebar — words added and removed, and a clickable list that jumps straight to each change.
• Export the redline as a single, self-contained HTML file.
• Two labeled drop zones (Original / Revised) that collapse to a compact header once both are loaded, with side-swap, identical-files, and unsupported-file states.
• Light and dark mode, keyboard shortcuts, and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility throughout — zero serious or critical axe-core violations in either scheme.
• Clearer Help and Review buttons in the header, and an automatic, silent, once-a-week check for app updates (never a pop-up; can be turned off).
• Free for personal use forever (including updates); one-time $5 business license per computer.
