Release v26.4.16

26.4.16

• Tag assignments are now preserved when a note subfolder is renamed,
  moved, or contains notes that are moved as part of a subfolder operation;
  the subfolder path update now uses a safe prefix-only replacement so that
  sibling folders sharing the same name prefix and notes whose path components
  happen to repeat the folder name are no longer incorrectly modified
  (for #1696)
• Refactored the Settings dialog by extracting individual settings pages
  into separate widget classes and moved them to a dedicated widgets/settings
  directory for better code organization (for #3570)
• Added the ability to select which note subfolders to show in the
  Note folders settings when Use note subfolders is enabled, with an
  All subfolders checkbox that shows all subfolders by default, and a
  tri-state checkbox tree to include or exclude specific subfolders recursively
  when unchecked (for #1701)
• Added more Spanish, Korean, French, Croatian translation (thank you, AlejandroMoc, VenusGirl, jd-develop, milotype)

Release v26.4.14

26.4.14

• Allow dragging a Markdown or text note file into the note editor, so it is
  imported as a note into the active note subfolder
  (for #3568)
• Extended the Headings tab in the Navigation panel to also recognize
  custom heading syntaxes introduced through scripting addHighlightingRule
  calls that use heading states like H1, H2, and H3, so scripted headings
  such as @ Introduction @, @@ Background @@, and @@@ Details @@@ now
  appear in the heading tree with the correct nesting and title text (for
  #3549)

Release v26.4.13

26.4.13

• Renamed saved Workspaces to Layouts across the interface, settings,
  scripting and documentation, renamed the old Layout settings page to
  Layout presets, and added a migration for existing saved layout settings,
  selector shortcuts, and related message box overrides so current setups keep
  working after the rename (for #3564)
  • For scripting, the new hook name is layoutSwitchedHook(oldUuid, newUuid)
  • Older scripts using workspaceSwitchedHook(oldUuid, newUuid) will still
    work for now, but they are deprecated and should be updated

Release v26.4.12

26.4.12

• Turned the AI toolbar off by default when no AI backend is configured, so
  fresh installs without AI setup start with a less cluttered interface; if an
  AI backend is configured later while the toolbar is hidden, the application
  now asks whether it should be turned on (for
  #3561)
• Fixed the Search engine setting being reset to Google when the
  Settings dialog was applied without opening the General page first
  (for #3562)
• Fixed following note links from the note editor or preview while the
  note tree is enabled, so the active note is now also selected in the
  note tree panel, even for notes inside subfolders (for
  #3560)
• In the Heading tab of the Navigation panel, Shift + Click on a heading
  now recursively expands or collapses all nested topics below that heading
  (for #1912)
• The expand/collapse state of headings in the Navigation panel is now remembered
  per note while the application is running, so switching between notes preserves the
  user's chosen heading tree layout (for #1912)
• The Connect to server button in the Nextcloud settings is now disabled while a
  connection test is running to prevent starting overlapping requests; changing any
  Nextcloud setting or switching to another cloud connection now aborts the in-flight
  test and immediately re-enables the button (for #3557)
• Renamed the Automatically show note filename selection when [[ is typed
  checkbox in the Editor settings to Show note filename selection when
  [[ is typed (for #3552)
• Reworked the Distraction free mode interface settings into their own area,
  moved Hide status bar in distraction free mode there, and added a new
  Open distraction free mode in full-screen option that is enabled by
  default; entering distraction free mode now only switches to full-screen
  when that setting is enabled, the status bar now shows just one Leave
  button while distraction free mode is active, the standalone full-screen leave
  button is also now labeled Leave, and it is no longer shown on macOS
  (for #3553)

Release v26.4.11

26.4.11

• The Leave distraction free mode and Leave full-screen mode status bar
  buttons now use descriptive labels instead of a generic "leave" label, making
  it clear which mode each button exits (for #3553)
• Added a Hide status bar in distraction free mode checkbox to the
  Interface settings under the Status bar section, allowing the status
  bar to be hidden when entering distraction free mode and automatically
  restored when leaving it (for #3553)
• Changed the Find in current note search bar and the search bars in both the
  QLiteHtml and legacy preview to wait until at least two characters are
  entered before searching, while still searching immediately for a single emoji
  so emoji-only note content remains easy to find; the search bars no longer jump to
  the top of the document when the search term is deleted; the QLiteHtml and
  legacy preview search bars now have a 300ms debounce delay, and the note
  editor search debounce delay applies to notes longer than 20,000 characters
  (for #3550)
• Added a new Automatically show note filename selection when [[ is typed
  checkbox to the Editor settings, which is only available when
  wiki-style link support is enabled and is turned off by default
  (for #3552)

Release v26.4.10

26.4.10

• When a note is deleted, the application now checks for images and attachments
  referenced by the note that are not used in any other note and offers to delete
  those orphaned files after a confirmation dialog, also when multiple notes are
  deleted at once in the note tree (for #2121)
• Added a board / stack selector to the Nextcloud Deck card dialog below
  Search or create card, so cards can be listed and created in any available
  Deck stack without first changing the default Deck stack in the settings
  (for #3540)
  • The old Nextcloud settings board/stack picker was removed so Deck
    selection is now handled directly in the dialog where the cards are managed
• Added more French, Korean, Spanish translation (thank you, jd-develop, VenusGirl, AlejandroMoc)

Release v26.4.9

26.4.9

• Extended the scripting engine's syntax highlighting support with custom
  colors and styles: addHighlightingRule now accepts an optional format map
  with foregroundColor, backgroundColor, bold, italic, underline, and
  fontSize properties, so scripts can define their own highlight colors instead
  of being limited to the predefined highlighting states
  (for #3549)
• Added a new highlightingHook scripting hook that is called for each text
  block during syntax highlighting, allowing scripts to perform dynamic,
  context-aware highlighting with custom colors and styles
  (for #3549)
• Fixed a possible startup crash when restoring the last opened note from
  note history while the note tree was enabled: history restoration
  searched the tree by note name and could match a folder item with the same label
  before the actual note, then dereferenced an item's missing parent; note-history
  restore now only considers note items and safely handles root notes
  (for #3547)
• Added a Note search panel option to open notes in a new tab instead of
  replacing the active tab, for users who want note creation from the search panel
  to preserve their current tab context (for #2385)
• Added Copy image to clipboard and Copy image file path actions to the
  QLiteHtml preview context menu when right-clicking preview images, so image
  content and the resolved local image path can be copied directly from the preview
  (for #1741)
• Fixed disabled toolbar and action icons in dark mode not being grayed out
  consistently, including actions like Edit encrypted note and Decrypt note:
  disabled icons are now recolored through the interface proxy style using the
  palette's disabled icon/text color, so the fix applies consistently across the UI
  (for #2489)

Release v26.4.8

26.4.8

• Fixed two possible shutdown crashes while quitting the application: on macOS
  the app no longer re-enters Qt's commitDataRequest quit path during the Cocoa
  termination flow, and on all platforms the log panel now stops appending rich
  text once application teardown has started, avoiding late UI updates from Qt log
  messages during shutdown (for #3546)
• Updated the Launchpad snapcraft configuration in build-systems/snap/ to
  build the Ubuntu Snap with Qt6 on core24, aligned with the working GitHub
  Qt6 snap packaging so the Launchpad snap can ship the Qt6 build path as well
  (for #3470)
