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.

Changelog

GUI and Functionality

• Fixed a bug that would make using certain keys such as Enter, Backspace,
  or quotes in code editors in the Assets Manager unusable (#5797).
• Added Kazakh language

Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements | Keyboard Shortcuts

Over the past weeks, we have managed to include a few improvements left and right, which mostly involve bug fixes and minor tweaks. More notably, we have performed some work on the keyboard shortcut situation. First, we have unified and harmonized the keyboard shortcuts available to you by using the same keymap across all editors that you can see across the app (including in the assets manager), which hopefully reduces friction for those who frequently adapt profiles or snippets. We have also added a few new keyboard shortcuts and fixed a few conflicts. Other than that, we are happy to report that, thanks to community efforts, the French and Czech translations have been updated.

Quality of Life Update | Zettelkasten Link Improvements

This update contains many smaller fixes and improvements of the app. The primary changes are a complete update of the various dependencies so that the app is up-to-date, including the most recent Electron framework and the most recent Pandoc. It also contains a few fixes for exports and translation improvements. Refer to the changelog below for a full list of changes.

Note that we have updated the build pipeline to Ubuntu 22.04, which means that any older Ubuntu-system likely won't be able to run this version of Zettlr.

Quality of Life Update

This update is the second one in our roadmap to exchange Zettlr's code signing certificate, meaning that it doesn't contain all that much new functionality. Instead, it is relevant mostly to Windows users. Please try to install this update. If it doesn't work, read on for a link to the one-week old 3.4.2 release. Thanks for bearing with us!

Bug Fixes | Performance Improvements

Update 3.4.1 fixes an issue with release 3.4.0 from yesterday.

Hello! With this final update of the year, we say goodbye to 2024 and wish you happy holidays and a successful start into 2025. This update focuses on fixing issues and improving the performance across the app. Most notably, we have continued to correct the issues that have been caused by 3.3.0 especially on Windows and a few less noticeable things. One addition is that we have improved the word counting mechanism. It conveniently shows the project word count in a file's statusbar for project files, and counts words in the bibliography sidebar.
