0.2.0
Most of this release is two things. Sheaf holds up when something else writes your file while you are typing in it: a letter you have just typed survives a write that lands in the same moment, a change made next to the line you are on is kept, and a write arriving as Sheaf saves no longer loses one side of it. The rest fills out the document surface, with Mermaid diagrams, footnotes, comments you can read and put aside, emoji written by name, and tables that hold their header row at the top of the pane and give every column its own width.
A view is something you can find, rather than something you have to know how to write.
A view shows a table filtered, sorted, trimmed to some columns, or as a board of cards, and until now the only way to make one was to type its query.
Mermaid diagrams are drawn in place.
A fenced block with the language mermaid shows as its diagram, as it does on GitHub: flowcharts, sequence and state diagrams, gantt and pie charts, timelines and the rest.
A table cell can show you its Markdown.
A cell renders while you type in it, so a bold word is bold and its asterisks are hidden, and until now there was no way to see what was underneath.

0.1.0
The first public release. Sheaf opens the Markdown files already in your repository as finished documents you can edit in place, with tables you edit like a spreadsheet. The file stays plain Markdown: an edit changes only the characters you changed, so `git diff` shows your words and nothing else.
