Changelog

Shiny new things

• You can now select multiple files in file explorer using Alt+Click, or multiple consecutive files using Shift+Click.
• You can now reorder starred items.
• You can now drag files from various of places:
  • Drag a file (or multiple files) from the file explorer, just like before.
  • Drag a file from a search result.
  • Drag a file from a backlink, or an unlinked reference.
  • Drag a file from the starred pane.
• You can now drop files to various places:
  • Drop a file (or multiple files) onto a folder to move it there. You can even do this with files you picked up from anywhere, like a search result. It doesn't have to be from the file explorer.
  • Drop a file to a pane's top header section to open the file in that pane.
  • Drop a file directly into the editor to insert it as a link. The generated link also follows your preferences, such as relative paths, or using Markdown links.
  • Drop a file in another application or in another Obsidian vault to generate an obsidian:// link the same way it's generated as "Copy obsidian url".
  • Drop a file to the starred pane to star it.
• You can now drag a supported file from your system explorer to a folder in Obsidian's file explorer to import a copy there.
• There is now a dialog with options for page size, landscape mode, and margin options for export to PDF.
• You can now choose the tab size in editor settings.

Improvements

• Quitting the app and restarting will now restore previously open vaults. This will also work on the "relaunch" button after an update has been downloaded.
• On macOS, Obsidian will no longer quit when all windows are closed.
• Pressing Tab will now insert spaces if Use tab to indent is turned off.
• Various visual improvements are added for dragging and dropping panes.
• The app window's title will now indicate the vault name.
• If you have too many ribbon icons, it can now be scrolled to access them all, instead of clipping out the last few icons.
• If the more options menu is too long, it can now be scrolled to access menu options that was previously off-screen.

No longer broken

• Sometimes after opening multiple popup windows, all hotkeys stop working. That shouldn't happen anymore.
• With an open note in Obsidian that's been edited outside or by a plugin, sometimes the last newline character disappears. That should no longer happen.
• Fixed some edge cases where custom CSS causes IME positions to overlap the current line.
• Vault switcher should now have more space for certain languages that take more space than others.
• File names with multiple non-breaking spaces will now link properly.
• The about setting tab no longer populates twice when you click on "Check for updates" twice.
• The community plugins page no longer populates twice when you click on a plugin name twice.
• Creating new files will no longer fail if there exists a file called "untitled.md" in lowercase.
• Global search's input box will now expand to take the full width.
• Sync will no longer allow restoring the current version.

Developers

• The workflow for augmenting CodeMirror has been improved:
  • Plugin.registerCodeMirror(callback) has been introduced to help plugins hook to CodeMirror instances that are already loaded, and also created in the future. This function is just a helper for Workspace.iterateCodeMirrors(callback) then Workspace.on('codemirror', callback)
  • Workspace.iterateCodeMirrors(callback) has been introduced to help plugins cleanup their CodeMirror events when the plugin unloads.
  • App.on('codemirror', callback) has been moved to Workspace.on('codemirror', callback). The old method will be deprecated and will now proxy to the new one. There is no more event system on App.
