  tab sizes are bound between 2 and 10 (see #6131).
• Fixed links not registering clicks when they are pre-rendered within

Bug Fixes | Performance Improvements

This is the first minor update for Zettlr 4.0. It comes with many fixes and small improvements, but also two new features and a change that you should know about. The two features are that you can now additionally collapse YAML frontmatters and Pandoc divs with the collapse-arrows left of the editor area, and Zettlr furthermore remembers which sections you have collapsed on a per-editor basis.

The change pertains to a configuration update that will make downgrading from this version difficult, and which requires your attention. Read everything in the Changelog below.

It's time to celebrate — Zettlr 4.0 is here! This update includes an incredible amount of improvements, new features, and bug fixes. There's a lot of ground to cover, so let's quickly highlight the most important changes:

• This update includes a fully rewritten table editor – no more data loss and no more frustration!
• Brand-new image and PDF viewer: Now you can open images and PDF files directly within the app!
• New citation parser — inserting, editing, and even cross-referencing has just become easier!
• Improvements to the Zettelkasten- and Footnote workflows!
• The FSAL has been rewritten from the ground up – no more missing files and changes in the app!
• Edit your Pandoc LUA filters directly in the app – with the new Lua editor!

Besides these "big" improvements, a lot of additional new featur

This is likely the last beta before Zettlr can move to 4.0 stable. This means: We would appreciate many people testing this release, and reporting any remaining crucial bugs and problems so we can fix them. However, we do believe that it should now work relatively flawlessly.

This release implements primarily fixes and a few remaining features that we wanted to include in this release:

• Horizontal rules are now rendered (this is especially important to note for users who have implemented custom CSS solutions for rendering horizontal rules)
• Misspellings from LanguageTool are now treated equivalently to dictionary misspellings, meaning you can add words to dictionary and handle them from the context menu
• Zett

This fifth beta again includes a few improvements. These are mostly some cleanup, code refactoring, and a few additional fixes. Nothing major has changed. As always, see the changelog below for full details.

Note: We're currently en route to preparing a final and stable release of Zettlr 4.0, so please report any bugs that you deem critical as soon as possible. This might be the last beta release before 4.0 stable.

This fourth beta improves again upon a lot of small things. The most notable addition to this beta compared to the previous is the exposure of the Lua filter directory to you directly via the assets manager.

Full TableEditor Rewrite

This release contains a full rewrite of the TableEditor. The old implementation
of the TableEditor had many bugs and inconveniences that made working with
Markdown tables barely less cumbersome than having to deal with raw Markdown
tables. Users criticized volatile data handling and experienced frequent data
loss. This is why we redesigned the TableEditor from the ground up. With thi

The third beta for Zettlr 4.0 is here! This one again fixes a large amount of issues and comes with some good performance improvements. For a full list of all changes in this beta, please refer to the Changelog below. Notably, what has changed since the second beta release:

• We have fully rewritten the FSAL, heavily improving performance and load times. This also fixed a large amount of issues users have reported with recognizing files and detecting remote changes to folders, such as:
  • Directory sorting now works reliably again and is almost instant
  • Changes to files are detected much faster
  • Many successive remote changes are now correctly detected and reflected by the app
• Zettlr now fi

We are happy to announce the second beta for Zettlr 4.0. Please read the changelog below so you know what's changed.

This beta changes a few things from the previous one, most notably:

• Improvements in how footnotes are handled
• Vibrancy on macOS now respects the reduce-transparency accessibility setting
• Support for nested snippets
• Added nix syntax highlighting support
• Change in default config settings (new installations only): Dark mode will now be true if the OS reports that
• Improve layout and/or styling for: assets window, native window controls (Windows), dark editor mode, dark selection color for Karl-Marx-Stadt
• Footnote references will now be rendered in

It's time to celebrate — the beta of Zettlr's next major release is here! This beta version is already quite stable, but we want to give it an exhaustive test-run to ensure that everything works as expected for the upcoming stable release. We have decided to perform a major version-bump, since this version already changes quite a few things as opposed to the last release that may impact some workflows. Furthermore, by performing a major release, we gain a bit more freedom to change a few other things where necessary during this beta.

We hope that you feel confident in trying out the latest and greatest Zettlr has to offer. As always, if you encounter any bugs, please report them on GitHub so that we can make the app better for everyone.

a11y/Dark Mode fixes | Text Transformations | Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

We are happy to present a new update to Zettlr that includes a few nifty new features! Most notably, this update introduces a series of text transformations that you can use to modify any text inside Zettlr. These transformations allow you to, e.g., capitalize text to sentence or title case, fix errors that often happen when copying from PDF files, or change the text to conform to certain typographical styles. More transformations are to come in the future, but we believe that this is a great start to improve your workflow.

A second section in which we were active for this release concerns the theme. First, we have fixed an annoying bug that would never remember your dark mode setting on platforms other than macOS. And second, we have fixed an ac

Bug fixes

This is a small update that fixes one especially annoying bug that users have reported since the last version. In addition, it offers an entirely new app translation, and another minor bug fix.
