Obsidian Release v0.9.16

[Licat]

Shiny new things

• You can now specify aliases in front matter. These will then show up in the [[ link suggestion, and auto-complete to the correct file. They will also be picked up in unlinked mentions. For example: aliases: [AI, Artificial Intelligence]. Add double quotes around your alias if it contains special characters.
• You can now specify tags in front matter. These will then show up in the tag pane, as well as in search queries using the tag: operator. For example: tags: ["#pkm", "#hype"].

Note

The front matter has to be placed at the top of your document and uses YAML format
