Follow Obsidian updates and improvements.

Shiny new things

  • Graph view has been completely revamped.
    • New options for filtering are now available. You can now:
      • Filter files using same syntax as search. This can be especially useful to exclude certain folders like daily notes with path:-"Daily notes".
      • Choose to show #tags.
      • Choose to show attachments such as images, audios, and PDFs.
      • Choose to hide links to non-existent notes (only show existing files).
      • Choose to hide orphan notes (files that do not have links, and is not linked to).
    • New layout options are available to customize the graph to your vault. You can now:
      • Choose to show arrows for links.
      • Change the size of nodes and the thickness of links.
      • Change the centering force, the repelling force, the link force, and the link distance.
    • Local graph also has a few new option available. You can now:
      • Choose to hide incoming or outgoing links.
      • Choose to showing neighbor links. Disabling this option hides links between neighbor notes.
    • You can now navigate the graph using the keyboard. Arrow keys to pan, + and - to zoom, Shift to speed up movement.
    • All graph options, including local graph depth and zoom level, are now persisted through restarts.
    • Dragging to pan now has inertia. Zooming has been reworked to be much smoother.
    • Graph colors now support custom CSS color: rgba() values as well as opacity: 0.5.
    • New graph CSS classes are .color-fill-tag, .color-fill-attachment, .color-fill-unresolved, and .color-arrow.
    • Graph simulation is now done in a worker thread. This should make large graphs much more manageable.
    • Several optimizations have been implemented to make the graph blazingly fast on vaults of all sizes. Many tricks are commonly used in modern day video games!
  • Obsidian now supports obsidian:// URIs. For the user manual, check out the help doc Advanced use > Using obsidian URI.
    • Remember to use %20 to encode the space character, and %2F to encode the forward slash /.
    • obsidian://open?vault=myvault will open the vault "myvault".
    • obsidian://open?vault=myvault&file=mynote will open the file "mynote" inside the vault "myvault"/
    • obsidian://open?path=%2Fabsolute%2Fpath%2Fto%2Fmynote will open the file at the absolute path "/absolute/path/to/mynote" assuming a vault exists for the one of the parent folders.
  • The two shorthand from v0.8.15 are still available:
    • The vault format: obsidian://vault/myvault.
    • The vault + file format: obsidian://vault/myvault/mynote.
    • The triple slash format for absolute paths: obsidian:///absolute/path/to/mynote or on Windows obsidian:///C:\path\to\mynote (forward slash also works).
  • New CSS classes are added for #tags in the editor for those interested in styling different tags in different colors. For a hypothetical tag #mytag, the class will be .cm-tag-mytag. Unfortunately, this only supports English letters, -, and _, since those are the limitations of CSS class names.
  • New CSS classes are now added to <body> to indicate the operating system. They are .mod-macos, .mod-windows, and .mod-linux.
  • Markdown importer can now convert Bear style highlight ::highlight::.

Changes

  • Global search and edit mode find functionality now copies selected text into the search bar when triggered.
  • The vault switcher window now has a language switcher.
  • Search should now be much faster if only using file: or path: operators, because the file content does not need to be loaded.

No longer broken

  • On Windows, the vault switcher should now show vault name instead of the full path, which took a lot of unnecessary space.
  • Splitting a new pane sometimes caused the new pane to be very thin. That should now be fixed.
  • Clicking on file:/// links should now work properly on Linux. This was broken on a previous release.
  • On MacOS, sometimes when double clicking the app titlebar to zoom, the window disappears and can't be made to reappear even if restarting the app. This will no longer happen.

Shiny new things

  • The app now registers the URL scheme "obsidian://". This will attempt to open a file in any previously opened vaults.
    • On MacOS, this requires installer version 0.8.12+ to work.
    • To open a vault that you have previously opened, use the format obsidian://vault/vaultname, where vaultname is the name of the folder of the vault.
    • To open a file inside a vault, use the format: obsidian://vault/vaultname/path/to/file.
    • To open a file with an absolute path, use the triple slash format: obsidian:///absolute/path/to/file or on Windows obsidian:///C:\path\to\file (forward slash also works). This will open the file in the most nested vault that's capable of opening this file.
    • If the URL does not do anything, then it means the file does not belong to any vault you have previously opened.
    • If the vault opens, but does not navigate to the specified note, then it means the file of that path was not found.
    • On Linux, you will have to setup an obsidian.desktop file with Exec=obsidian %u. Details see here.
  • Alphabetical sorting has been improved.
    • Sort is now case insensitive.
    • Sort correctly understand accent characters such as "é" to be the same as "e".
    • Numbers are now naturally sorted, so "1", "2", and "10" will now sort in the expected order.
  • Outline items are now collapsible.

Changes

  • Embed can now be rendered up to 5 layers deep.
  • Pasting images now use a 14 digit timestamp format "Pasted image 20200914050118.png" instead of a regular number "Pasted image 15.png".
  • Graph view will now prioritize rendering frames instead of performing physics simulation, which previously caused multi-second lags on large graphs.

No longer broken

  • Fixed Frameless titlebar text is not properly center aligned.
  • Linking an unlinked mention now properly removes the entry from the unlinked mention section.
  • Removed hidden titlebar when fullscreen which caused the top section of the app to not accept clicks.
  • Drag and drop panes no longer cause the moved pane to lose CSS styles and pane headers.
  • MacOS can now double click the frameless window header to zoom or un-zoom.
  • Numbered lists with checkboxes now renders correctly.

Changes

  • Auto-complete Markdown links now generates the note's name in the display text instead of the full path.
  • Checkboxes are now re-colored to match our theme if your installer version is 0.8.12+.
  • We have restored link auto-completion for hitting the # key, because otherwise it wouldn't be possible to auto-complete headings when using Markdown links.
  • Latex $ symbol will auto-pair when selecting text and hitting the $ key.
  • Fullscreen will now hide the titlebar.

No longer broken

  • Open in default app now works once again.
  • Command palette can now show more than 5 results.
  • The vault switcher window style has been fixed.
  • Titlebar text is now properly centered.
  • Folder and file suggestion popovers now show in the correct position when the page has scrollbars.
  • When linking unlinked mentions, the linked entry should now disappear from unlinked mentions list.

Shiny new things

  • The entire app is now frameless. This also means you can use custom CSS to change the color/appearance of the top bar.
  • We've added buttons for navigating backward/forward on the top left of the app.
  • There is now a new plugin called "Translucency", which will make the app translucent. Linux is unsupported for now. Windows users must also re-install the app using the v0.8.12+ installer to be able to use this.
  • Strikethrough ~ and highlight = will now auto-pair when selecting text and hitting the respective keys.
  • There are now new commands for "Edit file title" and for "Copy file path".
  • A new option is available to disable line-wrapping in edit mode.

Changes

  • Link suggestion no longer triggers auto-complete when pressing # or | because it's not always intended. Instead, hit Tab first to auto-complete, then type the character normally.
  • Selecting text in preview mode now prevents it from being optimized, where previously the selection would disappear when scrolled out-of-view.
  • You can now middle-click on graph nodes to open the note in a new pane.

No longer broken

  • On Linux, using the mouse backward/forward navigation buttons no longer fires twice.
  • Sometimes in edit mode, the collapse/expand triangle overlaps the text. That's now fixed.
  • Navigating back to a file that was already deleted shouldn't cause an error anymore.
  • Checkboxes with a numbered list now appear on one line instead of wrapping to the next.
  • Numbered lists with checkboxes now shows the number instead of hiding it.
  • Fixed search operator tag miss every other result within the same file.
  • Fixed a rare occurence of scroll lost when typing in a scroll-synced edit/preview configuration.

Changes

  • Checkbox now uses a more modern style thanks to the new Electron update.

No longer broken

  • Line wrapping used to cause a weird space to appear on the second line when the previous line ends with any kind of formatted text. This is fixed by the new Electron.

  • Fixed switching from editor to preview doesn't scroll on large documents.
  • Fixed scroll-sync lag with edit mode open.
  • Fixed scroll-sync not scrolling to the top on the other pane.
  • LaTeX inline blocks $$ no longer has the space & digit requirements like $.
  • WIP translucency plugin disabled, will be re-enabled next release.
  • Updated translations.

No longer broken

  • Linking to headings using [[filename#]] should now properly show suggestions when # is typed, instead of requiring an additional character to be typed first.
  • In some rare cases, vaults with many files would freeze when loading up. This should be fixed now.

Shiny new things

  • Search & backlinks now has an option to sort results, similar to file explorer.
  • File sort order now includes sorting by creation time.
  • Local graph nodes are now in decremental size from closest to farthest.
  • A new search operator tag:#mytag is now available, which will only match tags that are parsed exactly as tags (for example, #mytag inside a code block will be properly ignored).
  • A new hotkey has been added to create note in new pane.
  • The Zettelkasten prefixer plugin can now set Zettel ID format, similar to daily notes.
  • Daily note/Zettelkasten prefixer: Template file now accepts {{date:format}} and {{time:format}} just like the template plugin.
  • Frontmatter in preview now has a CSS class to facilitate styling.

Changes

  • Graph view has been greatly optimized. File changes only trigger incremental change detection to re-compute graph instead of a full scan.
  • Search and backlinks now refreshes when files in the vault are changed. This update is also done incrementally to minimize performance impact.
  • Backlinks pane has now been optimized when switching files or editing note, it will no longer cause lag to the editing experience.
  • Opening help vault now wipes the folder first, which prevents older version of the help docs sticking around when they have been renamed.

No longer broken

  • Fixed Cmd/Ctrl-click links and tags in edit mode sometimes requires a 2nd click.
  • Consecutive tables now include proper spacing between them instead of being stuck together.
  • In the file explorer, you can now click on file names while renaming them without exiting rename mode.
  • Fixed footnotes with embedded documents not linking to the right footnote reference when clicked.

Changes

  • Hovering the unlink pane button now highlights the pane itself as well.

No longer broken

  • Clicking on a checkbox should check the correct box instead of the one 3 lines down, oops.
  • Clicking an outline pane link would sometimes not work depending on pane configuration. That's fixed now.

Changes

  • The cache file that was previously in vault/.obsidian/cache is now moved to the "APPDATA" folder under APPDATA\Obsidian\ObsidianCache\VAULT-ID.json. This should resolve issues with sync applications that caused conflicts with this file. See Electron documentation for the precise location of APPDATA on your platform.
  • Removed non-functional work-in-progress publish plugin that was accidentally added in v0.8.6.
  • Removed console.log of the i18n dictionary that was also accidentally added in v0.8.6.

Shiny new things

  • Local graph now has an option to specify number of jumps from the current note.

In the plugin setting, you can tell the plugin what to replace {{date}} and {{time}} with. {{title}} will be replaced by the title of the current file. You can also insert {{date:FORMAT}} to customize date formatting individually.
  • YAML Frontmatter is now recognized. You can also hide it using the option in Settings > Editor > Show frontmatter.
  • There's now a new file menu item to "reveal file in file explorer", which highlights the current file in the file explorer pane.
  • You can now choose to auto-complete links in the Markdown standard format. This will automatically encode spaces as %20.

Changes

  • We've now switched from Markdown-It to Remark to parse Markdown files. This will inevitably change how some of your notes look like, since Remark is not fully CommonMark compliant. This change allows us to accurately calculate link positions within a document to properly render backlinks and to update references when files are renamed.
  • Search now searches in file name as well.

No longer broken

  • Two identical links in the same paragraph now properly shows as two distinct backlinks, instead of showing the first one twice.

  • Footnotes used to link to the wrong place, that should be fixed now.
  • Vault switcher should no longer flash blank for a second when first opened up.
  • Fixed sometimes the window would overflow, causing the whole app to be scrolled up out of view.

  • Mermaid graphs that couldn't be rendered due to an error won't scroll the whole app anymore.
  • Duplicate embeds, LaTeX, and code blocks now properly renders instead of having the first one disappear.
  • Spellcheck correction is now properly applied when using custom CSS themes that reduce line height.

Shiny new things

  • Search improvements:
    • If a file has more than one match, the number of matches will be displayed next to the file.
    • The collapsed matches that said "... and 8 more matches" can now be expanded to show all results separately.
    • Matched text now shows 1 line of surrounding context by default. A new button "Show more context" is added to show up to 5 lines of context instead.
  • Backlink and unlinked mentions improvements:
    • Results can now be collapsed on a per-file basis, just like search results.
    • Backlinks and unlinked mentions has a counter for how many total matches when expanded.
    • Numerous fixes to recognizing and rendering listed below.
  • A new command has been added for opening a local graph.

Changes

  • Local graph now re-centers graph when switching file.
  • ![[Embed|Display]] now properly recognizes the link to "Embed.md" instead of "Embed|Display.md".
  • Translations are now complete for Russian, Chinese (traditional).

No longer broken

  • Fixed graph view plugin accidentally renamed to "File explorer" causing it to enable/disable the file explorer plugin instead.
  • Fixed plugin enabled status resets when switching languages.
  • Long file names that couldn't be fully displayed used to have a tooltip when hovering that was broken a few versions back. We added it back.
  • When clicking on an unlinked local graph, backlink, or outline pane, the pane would previously reset or go blank. That no longer happens.
  • LaTeX rendering was broken in 0.8.3 due to an optimization. It should now render properly.
  • When deleting a file that's currently open, the outline and backlinks pane no longer closes to "no file is open".

Shiny new things

  • There is now a "local" graph view available. This is bound to a file, only showing notes related to the linked pane, similar to how backlinks and outline pane works. Use the "More options" menu to find the new "Open local graph" option. Try putting it in a sidebar!
  • Graph view now updates in real time when files are created, removed, or when links are changed.
  • Obsidian is now translated to several different languages thanks to our lovely community members. This version comes with full support for English and 中文 (Chinese), and partial support for Deutsch, Français (French), русский (Russian) and Türkçe (Turkish). If you would like to help translate Obsidian to your native language, join our Discord #translations channel.
  • The Slides plugin has been revamped and updated. It now supports image/audio/video embeds, LaTeX, code blocks and mermaid graphs.
  • The Zettelkasten prefixer plugin now has a template file option.

Changes

  • Renaming folders now properly updates all affected links. Creating or renaming files that causes duplicate names will now update links to absolute links to avoid conflicts.
  • Search performance has been improved. It will now match files much faster, where it was previously limited to 600 files per second.
  • <style> tags are no longer permitted in raw HTML. This is because the HTML standard disallows <style> tags within <body>; they are only permitted in <head>.

No longer broken

  • Switching from edit to preview mode had a brief flash before changes are applied, that no longer is the case.
  • The editor no longer inserts an extra pair of ]] closing brackets when "smart indent list" is turned off.
  • Outline plugin no longer switches to a media file if one is opened in the editor. Now it more accurately just says "No headings found."
  • PDFs that previously had missing characters now render properly.

Lots of under the hood improvements on this one. Everyone should be made slightly happier, and a few people will be made much happier.

Changes

  • Opening very large documents in Preview mode will now work much better. We now only render block elements that are in view, and anything that's outside of the visible scroll area is temporarily hidden for performance (tested on "War and Peace" at 3MB/570k words).
  • LaTeX now has full MathJax input library included, which should allow the imported libraries to work.
  • Pressing the Enter key in the search query will run the query again even if it hasn't been changed.
  • The account tab now has a loading animation, instead of showing a "login" page before quickly flashing to the logged in version.
  • Search results are now sorted (by path alphabetic) instead of going through files in a somewhat-random order.
  • Tags can now use _ (underscore) as part of the name.
  • Video and audio embeds are now loaded in chunks as they are played, instead of being fully loaded into memory when they open. This should also fix any performance issues and crashes related to having many media embeds in the same file.

No longer broken

  • Graph view now properly recognizes heading links to the same file.
  • Search should now properly show all results, instead of having the last few disappear when scrolling.
  • The highlighting for ]] was fixed again for some edge cases.
  • Panes that overflow to the right side should no longer push other panes around due to a CSS bug.
  • Spellcheck dictionary overflow in settings should no longer happen.
  • The outline when clicking a LaTeX expression in preview mode has been removed.
  • Long words and URLs now wrap correctly, instead of overflowing and requiring scrolling to see.
  • Daily notes settings page should show the format correctly now the first time when you open it.
  • Ctrl/Cmd+D used to not work in Vim mode because it was bound to another operation; that should now work properly to scroll down half a page.
  • Unsupported files, most notably obsidian.css, should no longer show up in quick switcher.
  • Some parts of the interface previously allowed text selection, which was confusing. That should no longer happen.
  • Fixed an editor crash issue caused by using a checklist inside a footnote.
  • Word count for large files should no longer cause lag.
  • Changing custom CSS no longer causes the editor to enter a broken state until the app is reloaded.

Shiny new things

  • There's now a new Outline plugin, which works in the same way as the backlinks pane. An "unlinked" sidebar pane will show the outline of the current file, while a "linked" pane will always show the outline of the linked pane.
  • Open with Default App plugin now also adds "Show in Folder" option which will open the system file manager and highlight the file.
  • You can now scroll beyond the last line of the file.
  • HTML tags with style properties are now allowed to be added to elements, style all the things!
  • HTML iframe tags are now allowed, which can be used to embed various external pages like YouTube, Google Maps, etc.

Changes

  • Graph view now has smoother fading animations when hovering with mouse.
  • Search regex now uses multiline mode, which means ^ will now match beginning of line and $ will now match end of line.
  • Link auto-complete and quick switcher would match the file name as a priority, instead of always matching the full path. This should improve the match ordering for searcher that contain characters in the parent folder, such as searching for "task" in "test/task.md" which previously matched "[t]est/t[ask]" instead of "test/[task]".
  • The HTML sanitizer is now a lot faster, making large documents more performant.

No longer broken

  • Switching between edit mode and preview mode no longer loses your scroll position from the top, so you won't have to scroll all the way down again.
  • Global search fixes:
    • "quoted string" did not properly match full words when containing punctuation or whitespace characters, such as "- [ ]". It should work now.
    • /regex/ previously required two backslashes to escape characters, for example, /\[\]/ previously didn't work, requiring /\\[\\]/. Now you don't need to add the second backslash.
    • When clicking on a search result, sometimes the highlights were off by a few characters. This was caused by Windows-style line endings "\r", and should no longer cause any trouble.
    • Search results sometimes didn't show all results when scrolling. Also sometimes the results would flicker and jump around. That should stop happening now.
    • Fixed search operator ignore-case: previously made the search case sensitive instead of what it says it does, oops.
  • Link autocomplete should no longer generates a leading / for relative links.
  • Fixed ]] not properly styled in headings, which made them appear really small.
  • Table headers are now properly aligned using table alignment options.
  • Fixed editor horizontal scrollbar hidden behind text, so it could not be interacted with.
  • Fixed $$ latex blocks couldn't contain single dollar signs $.
  • Backlinks pane now no longer cause lag when switching documents in a vault with heavy linking.

Shiny new things

  • Major new feature: Search has been massively improved and expanded! Check this out:
    • Words in the search query separated by space will be searched independently in each file.
    • "Quoted strings" can be used to perform full word match. "test" will not match the word testing. Use backslash \" to escape double quotes and \\ to escape backslash.
    • Regular expressions (regex) can now be used in search. Use forward slash to denote a regular expression. For example: /[a-z]{3}/.
    • Boolean operations can now be used. Use OR to match one or another. Use - to negate a query. The space character is used for boolean "and".
    • Parenthesis can be used to group boolean operations. For example (a OR b) (c OR d).
    • Several special operators are available. Some operators allow nesting queries using parenthesis, for example: file:("to be" OR -"2B").
      • file: will perform the following subquery on the file name. For example: file:".jpg".
      • path: will perform the following subquery on the file path, absolute from the root. For example: file:"Daily Notes/2020-07".
      • match-case: and ignore-case: will override the case sensitive match logic for the following subquery.
    • There are now options in the search interface to provide different types of results:
      • Collapse results will toggle between just showing matching note names and showing the lines in which matches appear. These extended results can be toggled for each note by clicking on the folding triangle next to the file name.
      • Match Case will do what it says, but note that it can be overridden on a per-search basis as per above.
      • Explain Search Terms will show you what the search is actually looking for in plain terms, so you can debug complex searches.
    • And search results are now optimized to only render results visible in the scrollable box. This means no more lag when there are a lot of search matches.
    • You can also star search queries for quick navigation using the "Starred" plugin.
  • There is a new option for link suggestions to auto-complete paths in relative format, vault-absolute format, or our default "shortest unique path". This option can be found in Settings > File.

Changes

  • Daily Notes plugin now adds commands to go to previous and next day's note, if they exist. You will only see these in the Command Palette if you are in a daily note. A daily note for these purposes is defined as "matching the date format set in the daily notes plugin settings," so so any notes that don't use the specified date format won't be navigated to.

No longer broken

  • Excessive padding for media embeds (images, audio, video) have been slimmed down.
  • There was a bug in the recognition of tags with numbers wherein some would be shown as tags in preview but not edit mode. That is fixed now.
  • And we fixed the thing where toggle highlight command would just add more == instead of toggling as the name would suggest.
  • Mermaid graphs would sometimes have boxes clip the last few letters of the text. That shouldn't happen anymore.

Shiny new things

  • We now render mermaid diagrams! Mermaid is a markup language similar to Markdown for producing diagrams and flow charts. The syntax to work with mermaid is a backtick-fenced code block, with the type set to mermaid, like so:
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    A-->C;
    B-->D;
    C-->D;
  • There's now folder auto-complete for plugin options that select folders.
  • We now auto pair ==highlight== syntax. We've also added a command & hotkey for this, similar to bold and italics.

Changes

  • We've moved workspace-related ephemeral data from .obsidian/config to its own file .obsidian/workspace.
  • When suggesting links, the first item will only be automatically selected if you type at least 1 character.
  • Bare URLs without a scheme prefix will no longer be automatically detected as links. Add "https://" for it to be recognized. (For example, obsidian.md vs https://obsidian.md)

No longer broken

  • Sometimes trying to auto-link backlinks in "unlinked mentions" could be clicked multiple times producing a [[link]]nk]]nk]]. Thankfully, that no longer happens.
  • We fixed LaTeX sometimes hanging the app if $ was included in the middle.
  • We also fixed LaTeX couldn't include escaped $. You can now do that with \$
  • We've optimized HTML rendering to speed up re-rendering for big documents.
  • Ctrl/Cmd-B and Ctrl/Cmd-I are now customizable.
  • Indenting/unindenting using "smart indent lists" should no longer become "NaN."
  • Consecutive links [[link1]][link2]] now links to the correct place in edit mode.

Shiny new things

  • We added a "strict Markdown line break" option for previews, which obeys Markdown's original newline spec. This will cause single line breaks to be ignored.
  • Ctrl/Cmd-D can now be customized.
  • We added new commands for folding/unfolding all lines.

Changes

  • Spellcheck will now ignore URLs and code blocks.
  • Spellcheck now has a user dictionary. Right click + Add to dictionary to add. Settings -> Editor -> Spellcheck (gears icon) to remove words from the dictionary.
  • Pinning panes will now be applied to the whole group of linked panes.

No longer broken

  • "Replace all" can now undo and redo in a single operation.
  • Ctrl/Cmd-[ and Ctrl/Cmd-] no longer override vim mode.
  • We added a notice for when saving fails, which could happen if the USB drive containing the vault is ejected.
  • We fixed the split pane command and shortcut creating empty panes when current pane was pinned.
  • Footnotes now go to the right place. The link destination will now also be highlighted.
  • We fixed the bug where front-matter containing the string --- could cause the editor to crash.
  • Auto-detected URLs in the editor will no longer include the space or period characters after.
  • And we fixed "Focus on above/below/left/right pane" option not always finding the correct pane to focus.
  • Graph view now stops all activity soon after you stop interacting with it. This should save quite some CPU cycles if you prefer to have a graph open at all times.

Shiny new things

  • We've added command palette options for navigation between panes (up/down/left/right), as well as open in default app. And, yes, you can make them hotkeys!
  • We've also added a command palette, and thus the possibility of hotkeys, for toggling the fold on the current line, as well as swapping lines up and down.
  • And there's now a command available to toggle pinning of a pane as well. So many commands!
  • Vim mode now has a prompt for :, /, and ?.
  • Sidebar notes can now be switched between preview and edit using the context menu.
  • Also, we have a Spellchecker now! It's only US/English for now, but at least you can spellcheck a language! Turn this on in Settings => Editor.

Changes

  • Select all has been removed from the context menu.
  • Rename now selects the whole file name.
  • We've revamped Automatic update. Now it checks every hour, has a button to check right away, and has a way to disable automatic updates. THIS WON'T WORK FOR NOW on the insider build because it requires a new installer, so this will only be in the public release.
  • We now allow customizing Cmd/Ctrl+K, which was previously reserved for the Markdown editor's insert link.

No longer broken

  • Search highlighting now shows through code and == highlight.
  • We fixed the misalignment of the images in the dmg in MacOS. We know that was very important to some of you.
  • There was a very weird Javascript bug wherein a file could not be named "Constructor." You can now name a file "constructor." Thanks, Javascript.
  • We fixed context menus sometimes getting stuck open.
  • We fixed link and tag autocomplete showing up too far on the left.
  • And we fixed block LaTeX not being recognized without a newline before it.
  • We fixed internal links not working in edit mode when it contains _ or when spellchecker picks up a word.
