on GitHub

26.3.20

• Fixed XML/HTML code blocks in the QLiteHtml preview having their tags
  stripped and showing only text content; indented lines inside fenced code blocks
  were incorrectly masked as indented code blocks, bypassing the syntax highlighter,
  and the XML highlighter now also properly escapes closing angle brackets
  (for #3521)
• Added a new Read-only mode panel to the General settings with an Enable
  read-only mode master checkbox; all read-only related settings (Start application
  in read-only mode and When inactive, enter read-only mode automatically after)
  are now grouped inside this panel and are disabled when the master checkbox is
  unchecked — the Disallow note editing toolbar/menu action is hidden and the
  Escape key no longer enters read-only mode when the feature is disabled
  (for #3519)
• Fixed intermittent database table is locked: note warnings (SQLite error 262)
  caused by background threads (backlink navigation, note relation scene) contending
  with main-thread writes on the shared-cache in-memory database; each connection
  now sets PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000 and PRAGMA read_uncommitted = 1 so that
  read-only workers skip table-level shared-cache locks instead of immediately
  returning SQLITE_LOCKED (for #3520)
• Improved the Failed to get index git warning to include the actual libgit2
  error message for easier diagnosis (for #3520)
• Fixed a crash in the update dialog caused by QAbstractScrollArea::viewport()
  being called on a not-yet-initialized scroll area during setupUi construction;
  the event filter now guards against a null viewport before dereferencing it
  (for #3518)
• Added optional wiki-style link support — enable it in the Editor settings
  with the new Enable wiki-style link support [[note name]] checkbox
  (for #3512)
  • Write [[Note Name]] to link to a note by name; subfolder-qualified links
    like [[subfolder/Note Name]] and heading anchors like [[Note#Heading]]
    are also supported, as well as display-text aliases like [[Note|My Label]]
  • Resolved links are highlighted in the editor with a dotted underline using
    the link color; broken (unresolved) links use a dashed underline with the
    broken-link color
  • Clicking a wiki link in the note preview navigates to the target note;
    if the note does not exist you are asked whether to create it
  • Ctrl+Click on a wiki link in the note editor navigates to the target
    note (or offers to create it); Ctrl+Shift+Click opens it in a new tab
  • The Insert link dialog (Ctrl+L) gains a Create wiki-style link
    [[...]] checkbox (visible only when wiki-link support is enabled) to
    insert the selected note as a [[Note Name]] link instead of a Markdown link
  • Typing [[ in the editor triggers auto-complete with a filtered list of
    all note names (including subfolder-qualified paths); a suggestion can also be
    triggered via the normal auto-complete shortcut inside an open [[
  • Wiki links are included in backlink detection and shown in the backlinks
    panel; when a subfolder is renamed all qualified [[subfolder/...]] links
    across all notes are updated automatically
