Silex Desktop now has reproducible Linux builds: rebuild the binary from source and check it matches what we ship, no need to trust our build servers. Update signatures verified too. Funded by NLnet, NGI Zero Commons Fund.

Silex v3.9.0 is out
Data source panels got a cleanup: readable on light themes, always clear which state you're editing.
Also new: ::selection support to style selected text (by JE4NVRG). Thanks pupuking723 for fixes.

Shoutout to Aysajan Eziz (https://github.com/AysajanE) for their first contribution to Silex.
If you self-host Silex, a default value (SILEX_URL=localhost) was overriding your host URL. Now removed, with tests.

We've been quietly rebuilding the Silex docs: new structure, English and French versions, plus short how-to videos. Not live yet, but here's a sneak peek: https://docs-66e101.gitlab.io/

I'd like Silex to do that for you, right in the app.
