Zettlr

Bug Fixes and Performance Updates

For this small update, we've fetched the polishing cloth and improved things here and there, but nothing big has happened. The one notable fix is that Zettlr now properly escapes path names passed to shell commands during exports. In very specific circumstances, it was possible to make Zettlr execute unexpected commands during exports. This update improves this behavior so that it is no longer possible.

New File Manager Controls | QoL Updates | Bug Fixes | Security Fixes

This release brings many great new things to Zettlr. Besides the obvious batch of bug fixes, this update focuses on improved citation quality, and findability of your files in the file manager. Specifically, this update improves the file manager by allowing you to sort your workspaces and add colors to your folders. You can also close all standalone files or workspaces with a few clicks, if you so wish. In terms of citation support, Zettlr now shows a tooltip after some delay if you hover over a citation with your mouse, showing you the generated bibliography for those items to make sure you actually cite the correct work.

Besides that, you now get CSS autocompletion in the Custom CSS editor. The boot sequence of Zettlr is now much more resilient towards missing

Bug Fixes | Updated Dependencies

This update only brings minor things to the table. Most notably, this update fixes the logic of Zettlr to handle extensions to Pandoc readers and writers. Previously, extensions were always removed from readers and writers whenever you imported or exported a file. Now, if you specify an extension, this will work again. This means, previously, if you specified a writer in your defaults files disabling the “smart” extension (e.g., writer: docx-smart), Zettlr would strip the extension away. Now, these extensions are retained correctly on each import or export.

In addition, this update fixes a few oddities after the Zotero 8 update, and updates all dependencies to the newest available versions.

Fixed Pandoc Extension Parsing

Preview Mode Updates | Bug Fixes | Quality of Life Improvements

This update brings three distinct sets of improvements. First, it contains a series of new features for the preview mode, which make blockquotes now render with a vertical bar instead of italicized font. In addition, Pandoc divs and spans are now pre-rendered and apply any custom styling you have applied, if applicable.

Second, it contains a bunch of minor bug fixes and improvements of some annoying behavior so that the app works better for everyone. This also includes some big improvements of the Brazilian, Japanese, and German translations.

Last but not least, this update includes a fix for a bug that had been introduced by the recent Zotero 8 update. Some users were reporting that, after that update, Zettlr would stop suggesting citations, and that other pa

• Fix a bug where the preferences window would allow arbitrary tab sizes. Now,
  tab sizes are bound between 2 and 10 (see #6131).

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.

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
