Hello.
Obsidian 1.8.10 uses Electron 34.2.0, which is basically EOL.
Electron 34.0.0 EOL date: 2025-Jun-24 (very soon!)
Also, I’m secretly hoping updating Electron fixes the no window shadow bug for me under Wayland.

I’d like to see the lucide icon set updated to something more current so newer icons could be used for callouts. Furthermore, it would be great if each Obsidian release could track to the latest available lucide package. I imagine this would be trivial given it’s available on npm.

This page has a bunch of the third party libraries and their current versions in Obsidian listed now:

Pinging this again. Obsidian is at 0.446.0 while Lucide is on v0.475.0. I’d love to see “icons upgrade” micro releases for things like this where it just updates the icon library without needing to do/wait for large releases or fixes.
Or is there any way the user can update the library themselves? I’d really like access to the new icons, esp as 475 added the trans & nonbinary symbols, so if it was possible to upgrade it myself for the time being that’d be great.
+1 for more regular (micro) updates of the icon packages.
Use case or problem
Currently gitGraph only supports horizontal graphs in Obsidian. I have a very long graph that I want to render vertically, but I can’t because Obsidian’s mermaid version doesn’t support it yet.
Proposed solution
Upgrade mermaid.js to >=10.3.0
Current workaround (optional)
Just side scrolling

I agree, mermaid diagrams should be the next thing to add on the roadmap before other features

10.4 is the current version.
I’d love to use it for the sankey-beta function.

I’d like the Actor Creation and Destruction functions in Sequence Diagram from mermaid v10.3.0.
+1 from me
I agree that upgrading mermaid to the latest would be good. Beware though that some of the new diagram types are experimental with few configuration options and don’t really look very good. A case in point is the mindmap diagram type with looks awful IMO. I’ve added a picture of a mind map I created using this diagram type in the mermaid live editor for a project I am working on. There is no programmatic way to specify the layout option to stop the nodes overlapping.
The best option was to use the Mind Map plugin which doesn’t let you edit the contents but does produce a nice looking map that i use now as an alternative to the TOC.
I would like to support the request to upgrade to version 10.4 -
I would also absolutely love this to be upgraded to v10.3+. Especially with the narrow width of the note view, vertical git diagrams would be awesome.
I came to request this feature for the same reason and it’s already here. Yay.
+1 From me.
Edit: For the swarm!
+1, please upgrade the version. I’d love to use the [Sequence diagrams | Mermaid](Actor Creation and Destruction (v10.3.0+)) feature.
+1, please update mermaid. I’m really looking forward to Sankey diagrams in v10.3.0+

Mermaid was updated to 10.6.1 in obsidian V1.5.0

Works brilliantly, but for the sankey-beta you have to add something like %%{init: {‘theme’: ‘dark’, ‘themeCSS’: ‘svg {background-color: black}’}}%% to see the actual lines

Mermaid finally has a block diagram starting from v10.8.0 which allows control over the layout, i would really like to have access to this feature.
v10.9.0 added katex typesetting and is also already released, so might as well go for that unless there is a particular reason against this.
