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).
