Obsidian Release v0.8.1

[Silver]

Shiny new things

• There’s now a new Outline plugin, which works in the same way as the backlinks pane. An “unlinked” sidebar pane will show the outline of the current file, while a “linked” pane will always show the outline of the linked pane.
• Open with Default App plugin now also adds “Show in Folder” option which will open the system file manager and highlight the file.
• You can now scroll beyond the last line of the file.
• HTML tags with style properties are now allowed to be added to elements, style all the things!
• HTML iframe tags are now allowed, which can be used to embed various external pages like YouTube, Google Maps, etc.

Changes

• Graph view now has smoother fading animations when hovering with mouse.
• Search regex now uses multiline mode, which means ^ will now match beginning of line and $ will now match end of line.
• Link auto-complete and quick switcher would match the file name as a priority, instead of always matching the full path. This should improve the match ordering for searcher that contain characters in the parent folder, such as searching for “task” in “test/task.md” which previously matched “[t]est/t[ask]” instead of “test/[task]”.
• The HTML sanitizer is now a lot faster, making large documents more performant.

No longer broken

• Switching between edit mode and preview mode no longer loses your scroll position from the top, so you won’t have to scroll all the way down again.
• Global search fixes:
  • “quoted string” did not properly match full words when containing punctuation or whitespace characters, such as “- [ ]”. It should work now.
  • /regex/ previously required two backslashes to escape characters, for example, /\[\]/ previously didn’t work, requiring /\\[\\]/. Now you don’t need to add the second backslash.
  • When clicking on a search result, sometimes the highlights were off by a few characters. This was caused by Windows-style line endings “\r”, and should no longer cause any trouble.
  • Search results sometimes didn’t show all results when scrolling. Also sometimes the results would flicker and jump around. That should stop happening now.
  • Fixed search operator ignore-case: previously made the search case sensitive instead of what it says it does, oops.
• Link autocomplete should no longer generates a leading / for relative links.
• Fixed ]] not properly styled in headings, which made them appear really small.
• Table headers are now properly aligned using table alignment options.
• Fixed editor horizontal scrollbar hidden behind text, so it could not be interacted with.
• Fixed $$ latex blocks couldn’t contain single dollar signs $.
• Backlinks pane now no longer cause lag when switching documents in a vault with heavy linking.

Known issues (These are all fixed in the upcoming v0.8.2)

• Graph view fails to recognizes [[file#heading]] links to the same files, thus rendering each #heading link individually.
