Fix Images and Links on Windows

Some days are just bad days, and today was one such for us: In version 3.3.0, we accidentally broke all images, links, and file previews for Windows users. This patch fixes this. Sorry for the inconvenience! Have a great day, now with an actually working update to your favorite writing app!

Changelog

GUI and Functionality

• Fixed a serious bug that would prevent external files from being properly
  handled on Windows; which included images, linked files, attachments, and

Visual fixes | Better updates | Crash fixes

This update fixes issues across several areas of the app. Primarily, we have improved the rendering of elements in the editor, the usability of drag & drop and paste operations, the updater, and a few rare but severe bugs. More specifically, the image renderer is now more usable, and works and looks better. Also, we have improved some rendering issues with regard to blockquotes and highlights. Thirdly, the updater now provides both better feedback and checks once an hour, meaning that the app will notify you of new updates even if you rarely restart it. Also, it will notify you of an available update with a message box, rather than just the update icon in the toolbar. Lastly, users have reported and we have found a few issues that could freeze up individual editors, or the entire app, lead

This update focuses mainly on cosmetic fixes that pertain to the main editor and the display of your texts. However, it also includes a few bug fixes and other improvements.

Changes to Pandoc Profiles

This update fixes a workaround that Zettlr had in place for a shortcoming of
Pandoc regarding the automatic numbering of headings. This workaround is no
longer necessary, since Pandoc has since fixed the issue.

Zettlr now ships with changed default profiles for various export formats. Since
Zettlr never overwrites any data, the new default

This is a minor update whose two primary goals are to update Electron and Pandoc to the latest versions and fix an annoying bug we've introduced in 3.2.0.

Many users have complained that automatically creating files was no longer possible in version 3.2 due to a change we made. Our hopes were to clean up the code, but we didn't anticipate this. Sorry for the inconvenience that this change has caused. It should now work as expected again.

In addition, we've finally added a change that has been requested for quite some time: The app now remembers the widths of the sidebars across restarts, so you don't have

Bug Fixes | Quality of Life Updates

In this release, we've fixed a few serious bugs, so we recommend updating for everyone, especially users who regularly work with files created on Windows. In addition, this release features a few good updates that will improve your workflows. As always, please report any bugs that we didn't find this time around. Have fun with the update!

Changelog

Resolved Data Loss Issues

When Zettlr v3.0.0 was released, we started receiving reports by users
mentioning that some files wouldn't properly save, potentially leading to data
loss. After searching for the underlying root cause, we have now identified it as
improper newline handling in files. Specifically, we have accidentally introduced
a bug that would render Zettlr incapable of proper

Hotfix for crashes on Linux

Sometimes, waiting to update something is a smart idea. This time, we were not that smart and bumped the underlying Electron framework to version 30, which unfortunately made running Zettlr 3.1.0 on most Linux systems impossible. With this patch, we rolled back Electron to a working version. Apologies to all Linux users, we still love you!

Changelog

GUI and Functionality

• Fixed a segmentation fault crash on startup across various Linux setups
  (#5135)

Under the Hood

• Downgrade Electron to version 29.3.2 (cf. Electron issue #41839)

Wikilink-Titles | Project Overhaul | LT Improvements | And much more

Today's the day! After more than half a year since the last bigger update we are absolutely stoked to announce the next major update to Zettlr! This update brings loads of improvements and a decent amount of new features with it. A lot of it is about improving many workflows around the app and making your life much, much easier. Also, this release contains the début of our UX/UI artist, Artem Barinov, who has spent almost the entirety of 2023 fully re-designing the preferences dialog from the ground up — a feature that was fully designed before the launch of 3.0.0 but narrowly didn't make it in that release. We are excited to hear what you have to say about it!

Zettlr is Free and Open Source (FOSS) software and is done entirely by volunteers. But, develo

This is likely the last beta release before we will be releasing 3.1.0 stable. It includes a few fixes relating to opening the proper files from the file manager, and many issues relating to the translation. So if you're a translator for Zettlr, there are about ~50 new translation strings to translate now. Again, for all changes, see the changelog below.

Changes to the link detection

For a long time now, Zettlr would (sometimes aggressively so) detect plain links
and display them in a rendered state. In some cases, this was nice as it would
relieve you from having to surround such links with pointy or angled brackets.

However, especially in the latest evolution of

This new beta release adds many smaller and a few bigger improvements. The bigger improvements of note for you are the following:

• You can now enable whitespace highlighting for the editors, which will make any spaces visible
• The LanguageTool linter now respects the lang property of YAML front matters
• Zettlr now incorporates the “preferred variants” setting of LanguageTool
• Improved project management, allowing you to properly select files and ordering for project exports

You can read more about those and all the other changes in the Changelog below. Besides that, this beta primarily fixes smaller issues and improves many things under the hood which won't be very visible, except

This update changes a few minor but notable things from the previous beta release. Here they are at a glance:

• Fixed a serious bug during save that would effectively remove any non-standard linefeeds (such as CRLF or LFCR) during save, leading to various issues with detecting external changes
• The dialogs are now modal even on Linux. Previously, they weren't due to (likely) a bug in Electron. We've now undone this in the hopes that the original bug that this fixed doesn't re-occur, so please report any problems you may encounter.
• The app now shows the precise git commit hash from which it was compiled (in the About Debug tab). This might help reproduce bugs in the future.
• Fixed an issue with the visual lis
