Improvements

  • Menu items are now grouped by function to make them easier to use.

  • Added a pin icon to pinned sidebar views.

  • Fixed embeds render with large empty space in pop-out windows.
  • Fixed link with pane not working across pop-out windows.
  • Fixed styling issues with translucency.
  • Fixed Obsidian Publish upload dialog unable to "Use live version" in deleted/non-existent notes.
  • Fixed font selector not showing all fonts.
  • F1-F12 keys can now be bound to commands without a modifier.
  • Fixed long filenames overlapping with buttons in the window titlebar.

Developers

  • New enhancements for DOM elements and UI events: This applies to all derivatives of Node (like Element, HTMLElement, etc) and all derivatives of UIEvent (like MouseEvent, KeyboardEvent, etc)
    • You can now easily access the element or event's owner document (element.doc or event.doc) and window (element.win or event.win).
    • You can now use element.instanceOf(HTMLElement) or event.instanceOf(MouseEvent) to perform instanceof checks without having to worry about cross-window constructors.
    • HTMLElement now also has a onWindowMigrated hook that can be used to monitor when the element gets attached to different windows. This can be used to re-initialize views that depend on window globals.
  • There are now workspace events for window-open and window-close.
  • MenuItem now has a new method setSection(string). Items from the same section will be grouped together, in the order they were defined or first used. The default section (empty string) will contain all legacy/plugin/unspecified menu items and is usually put into a specific spot of the sort order (for example, before the danger items). Inspect the DOM to see existing sections' data-section.
  • We've removed the ability to create MenuItem directly - please use Menu.addItem instead.
  • On View, we've deprecated the onHeaderMenu and onMoreOptionsMenu in favor of a single onPaneMenu function with a source parameter. This new method will be used for both the header menu (right clicking on a tab header in the sidebar) and the more options menu (three dot menu).
