- Fixed an intermittent crash when closing CiteFlow, including after viewing or editing source metadata. Improved shutdown handling for background tasks, PDF rendering and component downloads.
- Improved PDF search to recognize typographic ligatures. Words containing combined characters such as fi can now be found using ordinary letters or text copied from the PDF.
- Updated components used for PDF reading, image processing, OCR installation and semantic search. Verified external download links and artifact integrity.
- Improved Windows installation and upgrade compatibility. Upgrading from 1.2.1 preserves projects, PDFs, citations, notes, settings and downloaded components.
- Fixed cleanup errors in the optional clean uninstall. Standard uninstallation preserves your data by default. Clean uninstall removes CiteFlow-managed data and downloaded components while keeping original PDFs stored outside CiteFlow.
CiteFlow release notes
What changed in each version, from newest to oldest.
Version 1.2.2 Latest
More reliable shutdown, better PDF text search and safer upgrades and cleanup.
Version 1.2.1
Review source details together, follow optional OCR in the workspace and keep bibliography work more reliably.
- Source-detail warnings appear after automatic preparation. Review multiple sources, open the original PDF and correct missing information.
- Saved source changes remain if you cancel review. Excluding a source affects only the current output; removing it from the project is a separate choice.
- OCR remains optional. Workspace progress distinguishes running, completed, cancelled and failed processing.
- Bibliographies are retained more reliably after citation actions and source review; preparation must finish before generation.
- Corporate-author handling, page-number detection, dialog layout and language switching have improved. Existing projects, citations, notes and settings are preserved during updates.
Version 1.2.0
This release brings optional local semantic search, broader citation drafting and more resilient OCR and indexing workflows.
- Use BETA local Semantic Search with Multilingual E5 Large INT8 or BGE-M3 Full Precision.
- Choose project or index scope, filter and refine results, reopen source context and export selected findings.
- Draft citations in five supported styles, revisit copied passages in Citation History and copy selected entries in a batch.
- Run local OCR in eight text languages with script detection, cancellation and index recovery.
