Shiny new things

Introducing the Canvas core plugin. You can now lay your notes out in an infinite, spatial canvas.

Ribbon items can now be rearranged (drag & drop) or hidden (right click on the ribbon for options). Configuration is also available in Settings (Appearance → Ribbon menu). Note: if you are using an existing plugin to manage the ribbon, this might interfere.
Plugins can now be sorted by "Recently updated."
Added theme version information to the debug modal.
Added "Close window" command (Ctrl/Command + Shift + W).
Pressing Shift + Enter in the editor Find Dialog will find the previous instance.

Linux: fixed middle-click to paste.
'Split' commands will now focus the newly created tab group.
Fixed issue where File explorer would not always select the right items when using shift-clicking.
Popout windows will now open with the same zoom level as the main window
Fixed Home behavior in task lists.
Moving folders to the Obsidian trash (.trash) will no longer add a trailing .
Fix ordered lists showing as bullets.
Plugin gallery will no longer cache the results if there's no internet connection.
macOS: fixed issue with spell check replacing the wrong word on the same line.
Improved styling of text when the accent color is lighter than a certain threshold.
Fixed "Fold more" and "Fold less" commands not working properly on list items.
The File explorer will no longer capture arrow key events when modifier keys are used. This was breaking hotkeys such as Ctrl + Shift + →.
Fixed issue with folds in Reading mode getting unfolded when creating a new tab.

We have added a Developer CHANGELOG to our API repo. Moving forward, we will keep developer-facing changes cataloged here.
Canvas uses a new JSON-based file format, see the spec.
Added new metadata APIs.
Added macOS calendar entitlements.
Added support for fundingUrl in the plugin manifest. The donation URL will be shown in the plugin gallery entry.
