Beta 1.1.0
Release Notes
Check for Updates From the App
You can now check for updated from the app. If an update is availble simple download it from this site, and run the instaler to update.
New About menu
You can now find app information in the About menu, located in the main hamburger menu.
Exit from the main menu
The hamburger menu now includes an Exit button that closes Glasses cleanly and shuts down related background work.
Review Later feels smoother
Saved review sessions now open inside the main Glasses window, instead of popping up in a separate window.
View the slide capture during review
When reviewing a slide, you can now open the associated PNG directly from the review panel with the new View Slide Capture button.
Cleaner OCR titles
Glasses now trims stray OCR separator marks from the beginning or end of detected slide titles.
Smarter keyword suggestions
Keyword suggestions now have extra OCR guardrails and a much larger bundled common-word list to reduce obvious junk, fragments, repeated lowercase characters, standalone table headers, and awkward multi-word phrases from appearing in review.
Faster metadata saves
Editing a single slide in the metadata editor now refreshes only the touched index entries instead of rebuilding the entire course index.
Book PDF scans now show progress
When you upload a book PDF for page numbering, Glasses now shows a progress bar and clearer status updates while it scans the file, matches pages, and refreshes indexes.
Queued reviews now finish cleanly
When you finish reviewing saved slides, Glasses closes that review session, turns Live Review back off, and lets you know your indexes were updated.
Easier to stay oriented
The review area now gives clearer messages while loading, finishing, and updating your course indexes.
Release Summary
Beta 1.1.0 is a workflow polish update.
This release focuses on making Glasses easier to navigate, easier to update, and smoother to use during slide review. The largest improvements are around review flow, title cleanup, keyword quality, metadata saves, and clearer progress messages during longer tasks.
These release notes are live now, and the public installer is available from the Downloads page.
