If updating from Anki 2.1.49 or below, please see the 2.1.50 change notes first.
Editor Improvements
- Ctrl/Cmd+A in tag editing area now selects all tags (thanks to BlueGreenMagick).
- Fixed backspace sometimes removing multiple images at once (thanks to Henrik).
- Fixed copying and pasting MathJax on Windows (Qt6).
- Fixed handling of
<and>symbols in MathJax (thanks to Henrik). - Fixed intermittent editor loading failures when add-ons have injected a large amount of code.
- Fixed pasting of local files of unsupported types that contain spaces (thanks to Abdo).
- Fixed some formatting being lost when copying between fields on Windows (Qt6).
- Fixed various issues with tag editing (thanks to BlueGreenMagick and Henrik).
- Pressing tab on the last field now moves focus to tag area (thanks to Henrik).
- Reduce size of editor buttons on Windows/Linux (thanks to Henrik).
- Tags copied from the tag editor are no longer joined together when pasted into the add tags/remove tags dialogs (thanks to Henrik).
- The Qt5 Mac build now caps tag autocomplete matches to 10, as showing more is extremely slow in the old toolkit version.
Other Improvements
- Update Qt to 6.3.0, which fixes slow loading of large images, and inertial scrolling on macOS.
- Fixed an error when previewing cards and selecting multiple cards (thanks to Rumo).
- Fixed Anki needing to close when invalid modification times encountered by the browser on Windows.
- Fixed colpkg imports not being cancellable (thanks to Rumo).
- Fixed current working directory changing on apkg export.
- Fixed custom browser font not being honored (Qt6).
- Fixed custom study applying the previously-input limit, instead of the current one.
- Fixed due graph showing wrong date for review cards in a filtered deck with rescheduling disabled.
- Fixed grey background in type answer text + dark mode (thanks to Matthias).
- Fixed v3 scheduler allowing one extra card when review limit reached (thanks to Rumo).
- Lists on cards are now aligned to the left by default (thanks to Matthias).
- Removed the highlight on the Show Answer and Good buttons.
- Reset page zoom when moving between different screens.
- The Qt6 Linux build now defaults to X11/XWayland instead of Wayland due to some remaining issues; you can force-enable Wayland with ANKI_WAYLAND=1.
For Developers
- The
field_filterhook can now check if it's running for the question or answer side (thanks to Abdo). - Added a
av_player_will_play_tagshook (thanks to Abdo). - Make it easier to search in fields programmatically (thanks to Abdo).
New Apkg Import/Export
This build also includes a new implementation of apkg importing and exporting, thanks to Rumo. Some advantages:
- Undo/redo is now supported.
- Faster imports (especially for decks with a lot of note content).
- Support for older clients can be optionally disabled, which results in smaller
apkg files, and faster imports. - Flags are removed when scheduling is excluded.
The new functionality is hidden behind a feature flag, and not active by default.
You can try it out by using mw.pm.set_new_import_export(True) in the debug console.
To revert to the old behaviour, replace True with False.
Things to note:
- This is new code that has received limited testing so far, so please use
File>Create Backupbefore trying it out.
Any testing/feedback you can provide would be appreciated. - While active, it is not currently possible to import/export files other than apkg/colpkg.
- The Special Fields add-on will not work while this functionality is enabled.
