  • Hotkeys
  • Core plugins
  • Core plugin settings
  • Video, images, PDFs, and audio

Developers

• We have published a guide for how to adapt your theme or plugin to support RTL interfaces.

Themes

• Switched to Cascadia Mono instead of Cascadia Code for default monospace on Windows.
• Bold is now computed based on the current text weight, so bold inside a heading will still appear bold.
• Added --caret-color CSS variable to make it easier to style caret color on both desktop and mobile.
• Added new --link-weight variable.
• The user's interface language is added to the lang attribute on the html element, which allows language-specific CSS rules.
• The .mod-rtl class is added to body element when the user's interface language is RTL.

Plugins

• Fixed processFrontmatter failing to process file if all properties are removed.
• Improve detection of external config changes.
• We've made several improvements to the behavior of app.emulateMobile that should make it easier to test that your plugins are mobile-compatible. Attempting to run a NodeJS library will present a Notice. Drag and drop will more accurately mirror the behavior on mobile. The app will have default safe-area-inset properties set so that your views properly account for offsets in the mobile device viewport (such as the iPhone Dynamic Island).
• Bare modals should respect safe-area-insets by default.
• Added loading state to some of the settings button that make remote requests.
• Global app has been completely removed from the API spec (previously it was marked as deprecated).
