Obsidian Release v1.3.0 (Insider build)

Released May 9, 2023

Shiny new things

  • All new PDF viewer.

Improvements

  • Clicking on links in a pinned tab will now open a new tab instead of reusing a random existing tab. See note below
  • Bookmarks: Added new “Bookmark this block” menu item when right-clicking on a block ID.
  • Bookmarks: Bookmark view will now show an error state if the bookmarks.json file is malformed or corrupted.
  • Spellcheck is now enabled by default in new vaults.
  • Inline titles now have spellcheck enabled.
  • When Auto convert HTML is enabled, HTML tables will now be converted to markdown tables on paste.

No longer broken

  • Fixed slower performance of live preview when using popout windows on a secondary monitor.
  • Fixed opening files from File Explorer not giving focus to the new tab if “Always focus new tab” is turned off.

Developers

  • Updated PIXI.js to v7.2.4.
  • Updated Turndown to 7.1.2.
  • Updated Mathjax to v3.2.2.

Note

You can still have the old pinned tab behavior by moving a tab to one of the sidebars and pin it there.
Remember that you can also drag and drop a link into the tab bar or drag-alt-drop a link within another tab to open it there.
