I see it listed in the release notes for desktop (Obsidian 1.8.0 Desktop (Early access) - Obsidian) but not for mobile (Obsidian 1.8.0 Mobile (Early access) - Obsidian). It really have to be sorted out in both environments. Please do not let mobile linger.
The current behaviour (create a [.md file) exists on mobile, and whereas i am able to create a custom plugin to prevent this behaviour on desktop (…which should be obsolete with 1.8.0) i am not succesful with prevent this on mobile (as described here)
