Obsidian Release v0.13.0 (Insider build)

[Licat]

Shiny new things

• Live Preview (also known as “WYSIWYG” mode) is now available for insider testing.
  • To enable it, go to Settings > Editor > Experimental Live Preview. Changing this option requires a restart to take effect.
  • The live preview mode is highly experimental and many bugs are expected. Please report bugs in the Discord server under the
    Live Preview bug reports thread.
  • Once you turn on this option, there is a command to toggle source mode as well as a pane menu option.
  • Current features
    • Hide markdown formatting syntax.
    • Embedded notes, images, audio, video, PDFs and notes using the wikilink syntax will show a preview in the editor.
    • Embedded images using the markdown syntax from external sources will show previewed.
    • Block ($$) LaTeX will show a preview. Inline LaTeX will be implemented in a future release.
    • Checklists will be replaced with a checkbox. Clicking on it will toggle the check status.
  • Not implemented yet and coming soon
    • Embeds using Markdown link syntax.
    • Inline LaTeX.
    • HTML blocks.
    • Custom code blocks (including plugin rendered blocks like Admonition and Dataview).
    • Improved list bullets (and hide bullet with checklists).
    • Tables.

Improvements

• Added webp image support.
• Obsidian Sync
  • The remote vault selection dialog has been reworked to prevent accidentally connecting to a different remote vault, causing unintentional vault merges.
  • A warning has also been added to confirm the merging of local and remote vaults when the local vault already contains files.

No longer broken

• Fixed tabs becoming spaces within code blocks in preview mode.
• Fixed tab size not respected in preview mode.
• Fixed right clicking on search result matches not working.
• Fixed backlink in preview mode not updated when switching to an empty note.
• Fixed embeds in exported PDF documents not showing page title.
• Fixed code blocks in exported PDF documents sometimes contain duplicate characters when copied to clipboard when using Obsidian’s dark mode.
• Fixed code blocks in exported PDF not wrapping.
• Fixed app zoom hotkeys stops working after opening a PDF document.
• Changing font size will no longer cause the cursor in the editor to behave erratically.
• Fixed navigating to headings, block IDs, and search results sometimes not scrolling down properly.
• Fixed navigating in local graph sometimes causes the navigation history to skip over a file.

Developers

• There is now an append function for both the Vault and the Adapter APIs.
