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.

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!

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

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!

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)
