Release v4.8.0 Latest$$$Changelog$$$Admonitions$$$After more than six years in the making; we are proud to announce admonitions as$$$a new feature for Zettlr. The app now supports the more and more common syntax$$$that GitHub and other Markdown editors already support; using Blockquotes with a$$$custom header. You can create notes; tips; warnings; important blocks;$$$and caution blocks like so:$$$$$$> [!note] This is the notes title$$$> This is the content of the note.$$$The title after the keyword is optional; and you can use both uppercase keywords$$$and lowercase keywords.$$$$$$Zettlr comes with a built-in renderer so that you can immediately see what the$$$admonitions might look like upon export (note that the final styling depends on$$$the export option chosen and support for this type of element). The renderer can$$$be enabled or disabled exactly like the existing renderers.$$$$$$When you copy a selection that contains an admonition using the with style$$$option; Zettlr will transform the admonition correctly; but whether the$$$admonition retains its styles depend on the application into which you paste$$$this code.$$$$$$Note that admonition support upon exporting requires the alerts extension. You$$$can enable it manually in your export profile configuration; or enforce support$$$(where available) via the export settings.$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Feature: Admonitions are here! Zettlr now supports a broad range of$$$admonitions (sometimes also referred to as alerts or callouts). You can use$$$admonitions to emphasize certain content in your documents using Blockquote$$$syntax with a special header (see PR. #6497 for details). This closes a long-$$$standing feature request (#532). Some notes:$$$Admonitions come with support of five keywords: note (gray); tip$$$(green); warning (yellow); important (purple); and caution (red).$$$Zettlr supports custom titles for admonitions (full compatibility with other$$$popular Markdown editors).$$$The app ships with a renderer for admonitions that you can turn on and off$$$just like any other renderer.$$$Note that; to make admonitions survive exports; you will need to enable the$$$alerts-extension of Pandoc in the reader of the profile in question.$$$Zettlr will use similar HTML-syntax when you copy text with admonitions$$$using the Copy with Styles option; but whether this survives pasting into$$$other applications depends on support on their side.$$$Feature: You can now choose whether you want to automatically accept the$$$selected autocomplete suggestion when pressing Tab; Enter; both; or$$$disable automatic accepting entirely (#6485).$$$Change: The old mark setting has been replaced by a new settings$$$category that enforces support for several Pandoc extensions during export. If$$$you have disabled the mark support in the import/export settings previously;$$$you will need to disable this again after updating Zettlr.$$$Change: Fixed a fundamental issue with the full-text search that would$$$turn AND-searches implicitly into OR searches. If you relied on how$$$the full-text search actually worked; and not how it was described in the$$$documentation; you will now have to explicitly add pipe-operators (|)$$$between your search terms to mark them as alternatives. By default; the full-$$$text search now requires all operators separated by a space to be present in a$$$file to be considered a valid result (#6517).$$$New Translation: Zettlr now ships with an additional language:$$$Azerbaijani. See PR #6548 for details.$$$Improved the custom title bar style on both Linux (if native appearance is$$$turned off) and Windows. Heres what changed:$$$The logo is now an actual element rather than background; and has been$$$scaled down to better fit into the menu bar.$$$The window controls now use a transparent background and a light/dark color$$$depending on which theme the app is currently using.$$$Improved the spacing around the menu items to make them less menacing.$$$Fixed the about windows debug tab: No more horizontal scrolling; and the$$$PATH

Changelog$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Feature: Custom shortcuts are here. You can now customize many of the$$$available shortcuts and assign them to your likings. This also includes the$$$various text transformations that we introduced in version 3.6.0 so that you$$$can bind frequently used ones to a handy shortcut. The feature comes with all$$$the standards of custom shortcuts; including an interactive shortcut recording$$$that visualizes which keys will become part of the shortcuts as you type them;$$$a reset function to restore the default; and an automated conflict detection$$$that lets you know whether a shortcut you have provided might conflict with$$$another one.$$$Feature: You can now set the editor theme to use a light or dark$$$appearance independent of the app appearance (#5851).$$$Feature: You can now click a long-running-task notification for both$$$projects and single files to directly open the corresponding file.$$$Feature: Popovers can now be closed with a quick press on Escape.$$$Change: Changed the layout of the project properties. Now the custom$$$templates and CSL section are placed on the general tab; while the export$$$profile picker has moved to its own tab. This gives the custom options more$$$visibility and provides a better grouping of the options.$$$Fixed a regression from 4.6.1 where the full-text search would not search any$$$open standalone files (#6387).$$$Fixed an issue on macOS where opening a file from Finder with no open main$$$window would not automatically open one (#6391).$$$Update translations:$$$ja-JP (#6390).$$$de-DE (#6449).$$$tr-TR (#6450).$$$Fix snippets syntax and improve nested support (#6389).$$$Fixed a bug that would cause Zettlr to replace a magic quote with a regular$$$quote instead of deleting the text if some text was selected that happened to$$$be adjacent to a magic quote.$$$The Table of Contents title in the sidebar is now properly reset (#6397).$$$Improve toolbar styling (#6418).$$$Fixed a linter warning for footnotes without spaces (#6434).$$$Updated French translations (#6430).$$$Fixed a regression that causes windows to briefly flash white when macOS$$$vibrancy is disabled and the app is set to dark mode (#6438).$$$Fixed s/S shortcuts in vim mode (#6445).$$$Fixed a regression from the previous version that caused timeouts when using a$$$local LanguageTool integration with very long texts after the switch from$$$got to ky.$$$Fixed an issue where empty Pandoc spans would crash the span renderer (#6448).$$$Fixed an issue where the label of the open automatically checkbox in the$$$export popover would not be clickable.$$$Fixed a visual glitch when running multiple full-text searches in between$$$showing and hiding the search pane (#6454).$$$Fixed bold and italic styling (#6472).$$$Fix an issue leading to buggy interactions between snippets and the typewriter$$$mode (#6473).$$$Under the Hood$$$Update Pandoc to v3.10.1.$$$Update Electron to v43.1.0.$$$Zettlr now additionally trusts system certificates when making network$$$connections; meaning that custom TLS certificates can be used; e.g.; for$$$corporate firewalls (#6006; #5271).$$$Added a new Vue directive; v-focus that can be applied to any element in a$$$Vue component and that will focus the element as soon as it is mounted to the$$$DOM.$$$Removed deprecated path check for the app.$$$Improve performance of the editor (#6388).$$$Improved handling of invalid dates in the statistics provider (#6433).$$$Remove superfluous search logging (#6401).$$$Refactor posInNode utility to nodeAtPos and align documentation with$$$behavior (#6399).$$$Update various (incl. transitive) dependencies.$$$Remove fix for an old archiver dependency.$$$Refactor TextPack export to match new archiver API.$$$Remove remnant .tern-project file.

Changelog$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Feature: Allow changing the trigger character for snippet (and emoji)$$$autocomplete. Until now; this was hard-coded to : (which is still the$$$default). However; since that interferes with the way French speakers use the$$$colon character (Pour exemple : cette.); we now allow different trigger$$$characters; relieving the colon where necessary. Currently supported are /$$$and % as alternatives (#5185; #6325).$$$Feature: The tutorial is now also available in Portuguese for new users$$$(#6373).$$$Feature: The Remove line breaks transformation in the editor is now also$$$available via the keyboard shortcut Cmd/Ctrl-Alt-J (#5913).$$$Change: This release brings many improvements to the full text search$$$(#6339):$$$The full text search was completely rewritten to improve performance by 50%$$$to 100%.$$$The autocompletes for both previous searches and the restrict-to-folder$$$functionalities have been drastically improved and work reliably (#5686).$$$Ability to switch between case-insensitive and case-sensitive searches.$$$Improvements in the presentation and layout of search results.$$$Change: On macOS; the default setting for window vibrancy is now off.

Release v4.4.0 Latest$$$@github-actions github-actions released this 2 weeks ago$$$ v4.4.0$$$ 73d5813$$$Security Fixes | File Manager Improvements | Bug Fixes$$$$$$This update improves primarily on two fronts: the file manager and how you can navigate your files; and the security model of the app.$$$$$$First; this update brings improvements in the file manager; making it easier for you to navigate all your files and folders. This includes a few bug fixes that improve the behavior of the file manager. For example; opening up folders of containing files now works more reliably; and the file manager once again scrolls any newly activated file into view.$$$$$$Second; we have heavily increased the safety when using the app. We now disallow more potentially dangerous code from executing and have overhauled the security model of the app to better reflect how users interact with the app. As always; you can view the full changelog below.$$$$$$Do you enjoy Zettlr? With the recent spikes in SSD and RAM costs; our server costs have skyrocketed. Consider donating to help us pay for the development costs. You can donate monthly on Patreon or once via PayPal. Additionally; you can directly sponsor Hendrik Erz on GitHub or send a tip on Ko-Fi. Thanks for your support!$$$$$$Changelog$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Feature: The app now remembers if the file manager was open or closed$$$across restarts and applies this setting on each start (#3679).$$$Feature: The names of open folders in the file manager tree will now$$$remain sticked to the top of the file manager as you scroll through its list$$$of children. This is especially helpful in the combined file manager mode$$$with folders containing many files and subfolders (such as reading notes or$$$Zettelkasten folders).$$$Add strikethrough to the Markdown AST parser (#6263).$$$Fixed Markdown-to-HTML output to generate more valid HTML. This makes$$$comparisons with DOM-inserted HTML deterministic and should reduce the amount$$$of updates especially for complex widgets such as tables by a lot.$$$Reduced amount of image updates in the editor. This may increase performance$$$especially for long documents with many images.$$$Fixed containing directories not uncollapsing when a containing file was made$$$active.$$$Upon switching between files; the file tree now consistently scrolls to the$$$affected file; making working with larger workspaces easier.$$$The scroll-behavior for scrolling files into view has changed from instant to$$$smooth.$$$Fixed a small bug that could throw off switching between different file$$$manager modes.$$$Fixed the cursor scroll margin again. This means that; after years of it not$$$working; as you type there will now be some margin towards the top or bottom$$$of the editor window; preventing the cursor to stick to the edge of the$$$editor.$$$Update pt-PT translations (#6282).$$$Fixed an issue that would lead to unexpected navigation behavior across the$$$file manager (#4329).$$$Fixed an issue where the file list would follow slightly different filtering$$$rules than the file tree due to different function implementations.$$$Harmonized font usage to System fonts across the app (#5125).$$$Improve Mermaid chart error reporting (#6291).$$$Under the Hood$$$Switch from sanitize-html to DOMPurify for HTML sanitization; since the$$$latter has much; much less issues with various types of exotic XML-type tags$$$such as MathML.$$$Updated Electron to v41.1.1.$$$Security: Disallow any and all inline-JavaScript across all browser windows.$$$Security: Enforce loading remote resources using HTTPS.$$$Security: Generously spread HTML sanitization across the application. The$$$following changes have been made:$$$Moved HTML sanitization to the edge (directly to the injection sinks).$$$Removed HTML sanitization from the translation helpers. The reason is that$$$DOMPurify does not work out of the box in the main process; so we also$$$removed the sanitization from the renderer-translation helper. However; this$$$is safe since we do not insert the trans

Bug Fixes and Performance Updates$$$$$$For this small update; weve fetched the polishing cloth and improved things here and there; but nothing big has happened. The one notable fix is that Zettlr now properly escapes path names passed to shell commands during exports. In very specific circumstances; it was possible to make Zettlr execute unexpected commands during exports. This update improves this behavior so that it is no longer possible.$$$$$$Changelog$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Update pt-PT translations (#6262).$$$Translated the tutorial to Japanese (#6260).$$$Under the Hood$$$Escape file and directory paths passed to runShellCommand.$$$Update Pandoc to v3.9.0.2.$$$Updated some dependencies.$$$Removed duplicate FSAL descriptor fetching.$$$Improved resiliency of the descriptor fetching; now if a renderer requests an$$$array of paths; the FSAL does not fail. Instead; it simply omits those$$$descriptors from the return array and logs an error (context: #6272).

Bug Fixes | Updated Dependencies$$$$$$This update only brings minor things to the table. Most notably; this update fixes the logic of Zettlr to handle extensions to Pandoc readers and writers. Previously; extensions were always removed from readers and writers whenever you imported or exported a file. Now; if you specify an extension; this will work again. This means; previously; if you specified a writer in your defaults files disabling the “smart” extension (e.g.; writer: docx-smart); Zettlr would strip the extension away. Now; these extensions are retained correctly on each import or export.$$$$$$In addition; this update fixes a few oddities after the Zotero 8 update; and updates all dependencies to the newest available versions.$$$$$$Changelog$$$Fixed Pandoc Extension Parsing$$$If you ever used Pandoc extensions$$$with Zettlr; you may have wondered why they sometimes appeared not to work.$$$After a report by a user; we have found out that Zettlr never actually parsed$$$these correctly. We decided to make this a bit more visible in the changelog$$$since your exports may have been broken without you realizing. This way you can$$$verify any of your exports.$$$$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Fix indenting and tab insertion behavior (#6196).$$$Fix Zettlr not correctly parsing Pandoc extensions (#6212).$$$Improved error handling when opening PDF attachments.$$$Make Zettlr more resilient when CSL JSON library files are malformed.$$$Under the Hood$$$Add unit tests for parseReaderWriter utility function.$$$Upgrade Electron to v40.8.0.$$$Upgrade Pandoc to v3.9.0.$$$Upgrade ESLint to v10.0.3.$$$Properly parse and check the returned results from the BetterBibTex JSON RPC$$$API when querying PDF attachments.$$$Zettlr no longer assumes CSL JSON files are well-formed. Instead; each item is$$$checked for the presence of required keys; and is skipped if there is an$$$issue. This ensures library files can also be loaded partially.

Release v4.0.0$$$$$$Its time to celebrate — Zettlr 4.0 is here! This update includes an incredible amount of improvements; new features; and bug fixes. Theres a lot of ground to cover; so lets quickly highlight the most important changes:$$$$$$This update includes a fully rewritten table editor – no more data loss and no more frustration!$$$Brand-new image and PDF viewer: Now you can open images and PDF files directly within the app!$$$New citation parser — inserting; editing; and even cross-referencing has just become easier!$$$Improvements to the Zettelkasten- and Footnote workflows!$$$The FSAL has been rewritten from the ground up – no more missing files and changes in the app!$$$Edit your Pandoc LUA filters directly in the app – with the new Lua editor!$$$$$$Changelog$$$Full TableEditor Rewrite$$$This release contains a full rewrite of the TableEditor. The old implementation$$$of the TableEditor had many bugs and inconveniences that made working with$$$Markdown tables barely less cumbersome than having to deal with raw Markdown$$$tables. Users criticized volatile data handling and experienced frequent data$$$loss. This is why we redesigned the TableEditor from the ground up. With this$$$release; we are finally able to give the new experience to you.$$$$$$The most important improvement is that now data loss should be a thing of the$$$past. The new TableEditor makes full use of the available features of the editor$$$to keep the data as safe as possible. But we didnt want to stop there.

Release v4.0.0$$$$$$Its time to celebrate — Zettlr 4.0 is here! This update includes an incredible amount of improvements; new features; and bug fixes. Theres a lot of ground to cover; so lets quickly highlight the most important changes:$$$$$$This update includes a fully rewritten table editor – no more data loss and no more frustration!$$$Brand-new image and PDF viewer: Now you can open images and PDF files directly within the app!$$$New citation parser — inserting; editing; and even cross-referencing has just become easier!$$$Improvements to the Zettelkasten- and Footnote workflows!$$$The FSAL has been rewritten from the ground up – no more missing files and changes in the app!$$$Edit your Pandoc LUA filters directly in the app – with the new Lua editor!$$$$$$Changelog$$$Full TableEditor Rewrite$$$This release contains a full rewrite of the TableEditor. The old implementation$$$of the TableEditor had many bugs and inconveniences that made working with$$$Markdown tables barely less cumbersome than having to deal with raw Markdown$$$tables. Users criticized volatile data handling and experienced frequent data$$$loss. This is why we redesigned the TableEditor from the ground up. With this$$$release; we are finally able to give the new experience to you.$$$$$$The most important improvement is that now data loss should be a thing of the$$$past. The new TableEditor makes full use of the available features of the editor$$$to keep the data as safe as possible. But we didnt want to stop there. Because$$$the TableEditor hadnt received a face lift in years; we asked ourselves what$$$else the TableEditor was missing.$$$$$$From a user perspective; we have kept the design of the TableEditor as close to$$$the former UX as possible; while also fixing a few oddities.

v3.6.0$$$a11y/Dark Mode fixes | Text Transformations | Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements$$$We are happy to present a new update to Zettlr that includes a few nifty new features! Most notably; this update introduces a series of text transformations that you can use to modify any text inside Zettlr. These transformations allow you to; e.g.; capitalize text to sentence or title case; fix errors that often happen when copying from PDF files; or change the text to conform to certain typographical styles. More transformations are to come in the future; but we believe that this is a great start to improve your workflow.$$$$$$A second section in which we were active for this release concerns the theme. First; we have fixed an annoying bug that would never remember your dark mode setting on platforms other than macOS. And second; we have fixed an accessibility issue that would make Zettlr flicker white whenever opening a new window while using dark mode.$$$$$$Finally; this update includes some additional bug fixes and performance improvements; and updates to the framework. For all information; as always; please refer to the complete changelog below.$$$$$$Do you enjoy Zettlr? Consider donating to help us pay for the development costs. You can donate monthly on Patreon or once via PayPal. Additionally; you can sponsor Hendrik Erz on GitHub or send a tip on Ko-Fi. Thanks for your support!$$$$$$Changelog$$$Text Transformations$$$Zettlr now features a set of several text transformation commands in the editor.$$$Using these commands; you can transform various pieces of text in the editor$$$using several strategies aimed at working with both regular text (which you can;$$$e.g.; transform between sentence or title case) and corrupted text (from which$$$you can remove control characters; unnecessary line breaks; and clean up$$$quotation marks). In total; Zettlr now ships with 13 such transform commands;$$$but many more are possible.$$$$$$To utilize these transformations; simply select the text you wish to transform;$$$open the context menu on it; and select the corresponding transformation from$$$the context menu.$$$$$$The available transforms as of now are:$$$$$$Zap gremlins: Removes unwanted control characters (such as form feeds;$$$vertical tabs; and others); which sometimes end up in recognized PDF text.$$$Strip duplicate spaces: Removes any superfluous spaces.$$$Italics to quotes: Turns italic markers (e.g.; *text*) into quotes$$$(text).$$$Quotes to italics: Turns quotation marks (e.g.; text) into italic$$$markers (*text*).$$$Remove line breaks: Removes superfluous linebreaks while retaining any$$$paragraphs (separated by two consecutive linebreaks).$$$Straighten quotes: Turns smart; or magic quotes into regular quotes.$$$Ensure double quotes: Turns any type of quotation (which includes backticks;$$$since those sometimes appear in text copied from PDF files!) into regular$$$double quotes.$$$Double quotes to single: Turns any straight double quotes to single quotes.$$$Single quotes to double: Turns single quotes into double quotes.$$$Emdash — Add spaces around: Ensures that all em-dashes (—) in the text are$$$surrounded by spaces.$$$Emdash — Remove spaces around: Ensures that no em-dashes (—) in the text$$$are surrounded by spaces.$$$To sentence case: Turns the selected text to sentence case.$$$To title case: Turns The Selected Text To Title Case.$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Feature: Zettlr now has text transformations.
