Ceylan — Changelog
==================


1.1.0 — 2026-05-15
------------------

Following the first round of real-world testing, this release addresses
the most-visible issues we ran into and adds a few small comforts.

Fixed
- Apple Translation: the translator could only translate once per launch
  and required restarting the app. It now correctly re-arms on every click
  for any language pair.
- MLX models: translation stopped after the first chunk and never advanced
  to the next. The engine now correctly transitions back to .ready before
  the user is told the stream finished.
- MLX (translategemma family): the model would run away producing pages
  of nonsense output ("Happy hour" pretexts, advertising copy, etc.).
  Two underlying causes addressed: a broken Jinja chat template now has
  a manual Gemma chat-template fallback so the model knows when to stop,
  and our stop-sequence detector now fires on the first <end_of_turn>
  marker (previously needed two occurrences and never fired).
- Loading indicator: selecting an MLX model showed no feedback even
  though loading takes several seconds. The bottom bar now shows
  "Loading <model>…" with a live progress bar from the moment a model
  is chosen until it's ready.
- Window layout: the bottom bar was overlapping the editor area, hiding
  the last lines of source/translation as well as the per-pane word and
  character counts. The detail layout was restructured so the bottom
  bar takes its own slice and never covers content.
- Models dropdown: installed MLX models were missing from the main-
  window dropdown until the Models window had been opened. The disk
  scan now runs on launch.
- Apple Translation: localized translategemma's chat template fallback
  with the same anti-injection guard as the main prompt so titles like
  "Happy hour" are no longer interpreted as instructions.
- Ollama: silenced IPv6 connection-refused noise in the Xcode console
  by binding directly to 127.0.0.1.

Added
- Clear button in the source pane (⌘⌫) to wipe both panes and any
  lingering error in one click.
- Review mode now hides the continuous source pane entirely and gives
  the paragraph-aligned source/translation columns the full window
  width — three equal columns at default zoom.
- Default window size bumped to 1280 × 820 so long literary passages
  have room to breathe.
- Translate button is disabled during model loading so accidental
  clicks no longer happen.

Other
- Models dropdown shows installed local models the moment the app
  launches.
- Console output is much cleaner for support sessions.


1.0.0 — 2026-05-14
------------------

Initial release.

Ceylan is a macOS app for translating literary work entirely on-device.
Made first for one translator in Amsterdam, then opened up.

Engines
- Apple Translation (macOS 14.4+) — built-in, instant, offline once
  language packs are downloaded.
- MLX models — Apple Silicon-optimized translation models such as
  translategemma-4b/12b and Qwen running locally via Apple's MLX.
- Ollama — optional integration for users running their own local
  Ollama instance with models such as aya-expanse:8b.

Languages
- Sixteen languages, pairable in any direction: Turkish, English,
  Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian,
  Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Chinese.

Workflow
- Side-by-side source / translation editors with live word and
  character counts.
- Review mode for paragraph-aligned editing: refine each translated
  paragraph next to its source.
- Glossary per language pair — character names and recurring terms
  rendered consistently across every chunk.
- History sidebar — every translation kept locally, searchable,
  never synced.
- Import: .txt, .md, .rtf, .docx, .doc, .html, .htm, .odt, .pages
  (drag-and-drop or file picker).
- Export: .txt, .md, .docx, .rtf, .pages.

Localization
- Full Dutch and Turkish translations; system-language aware.

Privacy
- All translations happen on the user's Mac. No analytics, no
  telemetry, no accounts, no internet calls during translation. Model
  downloads (one-time) go directly to Hugging Face or Ollama's
  registry.

Other niceties
- Drag-and-drop files onto the source pane.
- ⇧⌘Y to swap languages.
- ⌘+ / ⌘− to adjust editor font size; ⌘0 to reset.
- ⌘R to toggle Review.
- ⌘C to copy translation, with a brief "Copied!" confirmation.
- A small moon for Ahu.

Made with love in Amsterdam Noord.
