What's new in v2.9.1
Nested lists show their levels. Sub-items step in one clear notch per level in Live, Wysiwyg and Reading, whether the file indents them with two spaces, four or a tab. Reading marks depth with different bullets, numbered sub-lists count from 1, and HTML export keeps the nesting.
- Mermaid diagrams appear much faster in Reading: a note full of diagrams opens in a fraction of the time, and the app no longer starts a separate web process per diagram.
- Two diagrams in a row no longer run into each other in Reading.
- Updating from 2.8.x or older? You also get 2.9.0: Markdown links that follow a renamed or moved note (Plain Markdown vaults still ask first) and open on click, Copy to a folder, a new folder or another vault, images that travel with a moved note, "Plan 2" for a taken name, and table alignment fixes. From 2.8.1 or older you also get 2.8.2: renaming a note keeps its links, also in a note you have open, Plain Markdown vaults ask before updating links in other notes, a long name fits in the name prompts, and a [[link]] inside code stays text in Reading.
- Updating from 2.7.x or older? You also get 2.8.0 and 2.8.1: Paper, a warm paper-and-ink theme, a serif Body Font setting, notes that open several times faster and faster typing in long notes. From 2.6.x or older you also get 2.7.0: tables you can edit as tables (Tab walks the cells, Format > Table), aligned columns everywhere, and naming notes in a Plain Markdown vault. From 2.6.0 or older you also get the 2.6.1-2.6.4 patches: table rules that survive a scroll in Reading, checkboxes inside table cells, notes with Windows line endings, a separate text size for the note list, and the editor's line spacing matching Reading.
