This is an emergency follow-up release.
I had to remove a very helpful convenience feature from Excalidraw Extras management: automatic plugin enable/disable.
The feature was removed because of an unexpected Obsidian code scanner review that VERY negatively impacted Excalidraw's scanner score. The same code passed validation without any issues before the release, then failed when released, with no clear warning or guidance. I cannot continue shipping user-friendly automation when the validation target keeps changing.
I support security and quality checks. However, the current scanner process is difficult to work with due to inconsistent results, limited transparency, and the lack of a clear review or appeal process.
If Excalidraw matters to you, please consider contacting Obsidian and advocating for a more transparent, developer-friendly process:
- Stable and consistent scanner results before release
- Clear, actionable error reporting
- A real and timely review and appeal path for questionable findings
- Support for safe plugin workflows, such as companion-plugin management and asset deployment
Changed
- Removed automatic enable/disable of Excalidraw Extras from the onboarding flow.
- Excalidraw Extras must now be enabled manually in Community Plugins after installation.
