cu1ch3n/papilot v0.6.0 is a new release of the paper workspace for annotating and reviewing PDFs. The repository description introduces it as a tool for reviewing papers in PDFs without handling LaTeX directly. This version extends the PDF review screen to also show the places where content changed with a single edit. According to the release notes, the changes cover the usages of redefined macros, equations and references renumbered after an equation was inserted, and newly added acknowledgment entries.

This change is an update that lets you examine not only the place you edited but also the related places whose content differs as a result of that edit, on the review screen. The release information gives as examples the changes in usages caused by a macro redefinition, the renumbering of equations and references following an equation insertion, and the addition of an acknowledgment entry. Therefore the focus of v0.6.0 is on broadening the scope so that the places affected by an edit can be checked together on the PDF review screen. The provided information contains no concrete explanation of how each type of change is displayed on screen.

The provided release information presents no performance comparison, real usage examples, or license. So all that can be confirmed is that a feature for showing the places affected by an edit has been added. How much this update reduces review time or changes the workflow is hard to judge from the given information alone.
