What’s new
Every Tabfolio release and what changed. Newest first.
v0.8.0 — July 20, 2026
- A clearer, more capable manager. Search now covers open tabs, saved tabs, domains, and Space names, including results inside collapsed Spaces. The responsive header gives search priority and keeps view controls, Help, and Settings accessible at narrower desktop widths.
- Dedicated Settings and safer backups. Theme, data tools, thumbnail refresh, version information, and feedback now live in Settings. Imports include validation, a contents preview, explicit confirmation, and a persistent pre-import recovery backup; exports carry format and app version metadata while remaining compatible with older backups.
- More reliable tab actions. New-window actions move live tabs instead of reopening URLs, preserving browser state. Closing, hibernating, moving, merging, sorting, and importing provide clearer results and stronger undo or recovery behavior.
- Visible Space and card controls. Create Spaces directly, manage each Space from its menu, and reveal a compact card action rail on hover or keyboard focus. The card menu and close control now appear together without consuming idle title space.
- Accessibility and keyboard improvements. Dialog focus management, menu keyboard behavior, focus restoration, accessible names, target sizes, contrast, reduced-motion support, and keyboard navigation have all been strengthened.
- Stability and release tooling. Chrome event refreshes are coordinated, rendered grid measurements no longer trigger ResizeObserver errors, and the project now has current dependencies, automated CI, package validation, browser smoke coverage, and reproducible release checks.
v0.7.5 — June 3, 2026
- Added undoable merge and alphabetical sort actions for Spaces.
- Preserved browser-window ordering when moving tabs and tightened thumbnail handling for unsupported or unfetchable pages.
v0.7.4 — May 26, 2026
- Added local Settings import and export controls for backing up and restoring Tabfolio data.
v0.7.3 — May 20, 2026
- Filter chips auto-clear when they go empty. Close every github.com tab while the
github.com chip is selected? The chip disappears and the rest of your tabs come back into view. Same for pinned, duplicates, stale, loners whenever their source condition is gone.
v0.7.2 — May 16, 2026
- Narrowed
host_permissions from <all_urls> to http://*/* + https://*/* to stay strictly within the protocols Tabfolio actually needs.
v0.7.1 — May 16, 2026
- Listing copy rewritten in a more confident voice. New manifest summary: “Finally, a tab manager that works and looks great.”
v0.7.0 — May 16, 2026
- First Chrome Web Store submission. Real Tabfolio icon set,
homepage_url, longer install-dialog description, and an npm run package script that zips extension/dist/ into releases/.
v0.6.9 — May 15, 2026
- Locked Spaces. A new lock toggle on every Space. Reopening a tab from a locked Space keeps its hibernated entry intact — your “Reading list” stays full.
v0.6.8 — May 15, 2026
- CommandBar follows your selection. On tall windows the selection bar lifts itself just below your last-selected card instead of floating hundreds of pixels south.
v0.6.7 — May 14, 2026
- Spaces now flow into a two-column layout on desktop, matching the Domain view. Small Spaces pack side-by-side; expanded ones stay intact.
v0.6.6 — May 14, 2026
- Hibernate a whole group. One click on a window or domain header bundles every tab in that cluster into a new Space named after the group. A section-level affordance appears when filters narrow the open-tabs view — hibernate the entire filtered set in one click. Fully undoable.
v0.6.5 — May 14, 2026
- Multi-column Domain layout aligns its columns flush with the page top so the first header in each column starts at the same baseline.
v0.6.4 — May 14, 2026
- Domain mode goes two-column. Domain clusters of 1–2 tabs now pack into a CSS-column flow instead of wasting half the page horizontally.
v0.6.3 — May 14, 2026
- Ghost-tab filtering extends to Spaces: hibernated cards that don’t match the current search are now hidden rather than dimmed.
v0.6.2 — May 14, 2026
- Dark by default. Drops system-theme detection in favor of the dark palette as the only theme. Tighter subtitle, the new ⊞ density icon, and the Dropfolio CTA footer.
v0.6.1 — May 13, 2026
- Delete-Space affordance with two-tap confirm + full undo (restores the Space and every tab inside it).
v0.6.0 — May 13, 2026
- Close-all-in-group affordance on every window/domain header. New “loners” filter chip for single-tab domains. First pass of a dark theme.
v0.5.1 — May 12, 2026
- Compact-mode selection rings switched from
border to inset box-shadow so they never clip inside the tighter card body.
v0.5.0 — May 12, 2026
- “Pixel-perfect” pass: design tokens collapsed into a small named scale, keyboard focus rings everywhere, three surfaces refined (Header, TabCard, Section labels), and a quiet Built by the creators of Dropfolio line in the shortcuts overlay.
Earlier releases (v0.1 → v0.4.8) shipped foundations: the manager grid, search, Spaces, og:image thumbnails, drag-and-drop, the searchable icon picker, the keyboard map, and the density toggle.
