Release v26.5.0

26.5.0

• Added Note Bookmarks sub-menus to the Note / Navigation menu
  (for #3589)
  • New Store note bookmark sub-menu with slots 1–9 (Ctrl+Shift+1–Ctrl+Shift+9)
  • New Go to note bookmark sub-menu with slots 1–9 (Ctrl+1–Ctrl+9)
  • All bookmark shortcuts are now proper QActions in the menu and can be
    customised in the Shortcut settings, superseding the old hardcoded
    QShortcut-based approach
• Added a new Note bookmarks entry in the Note / Navigation menu that opens
  a non-modal Note Bookmarks dialog listing all currently stored bookmarks with
  the ability to jump to a bookmark or delete it (for #3589)
• Fixed a bug where searching for a multi-word text like "Heading 1" in the
  Note search panel would not correctly use all terms in the in-note regexp
  search, because the search mode was set after the search text causing
  performSearch() to fire with the old mode; the search mode is now set
  before the search text in doSearch() (for #3588)
• Fixed a bug where the in-note search widget's text was overwritten by the
  currently selected match word when the search was activated programmatically
  from the note search panel, causing only one term (e.g. "Heading" instead of
  "(Heading|1)") to be searched; the preset-from-selection logic in activate()
  now only applies when the user manually opens the search widget
  (for #3588)
• Added the ability to delete one or multiple cards in the Nextcloud Deck dialog
  using the Del key or via a new Delete X card(s) context menu item;
  a confirmation dialog is shown in all cases (for #3357)
• A PPA for Ubuntu 26.10 (Stonking Stingray) was added
  • See Install on Ubuntu
    for more information on how to install the PPA

Release v26.4.25

26.4.25

• Updated Toggle checkbox(es) in the note text edit context menu so it now
  only toggles existing checkbox list items and no longer turns plain selected lines
  or regular list items into checkbox list items (for #3524)
• Major performance improvement for the Markdown LSP integration on large notes
  (for #3467)
  • Added a new MarkdownLspDocumentTracker class that uses Qt's
    QTextDocument::contentsChange signal to track edits incrementally instead
    of calling toPlainText() on every keystroke; the per-keystroke cost drops
    from O(n) (full-document copy) to O(log n + delta)
  • The client now reads the server's textDocumentSync capability from the
    initialize response and sends incremental didChange payloads
    (TextDocumentSyncKind=2) when the server supports it (e.g. marksman),
    falling back to full-text sync for servers like rumdl
  • Optimized the LSP diagnostic wave-underline painter in the highlighter to
    batch contiguous characters with the same base format into single
    setFormat() calls, reducing format-range fragmentation from O(characters)
    to O(format-runs)
  • When the Markdown LSP feature is disabled, zero additional work is
    performed on the text-change hot path — no toPlainText(), no timer
    restarts, no signal connections fire
• Added a global Ignore rule action to the inline Markdown LSP diagnostic
  context menu and a Reset ignored rules button on the Markdown LSP
  settings page, so Markdown LSP rules can be suppressed across all notes and
  later restored from one place (for #3467)

Release v26.4.24

26.4.24

• Fixed a URI percent-encoding mismatch that prevented Markdown LSP diagnostics
  from being applied when a note filename contains spaces; the incoming LSP URI
  (e.g. Top%20heading.md) is now decoded with QUrl::fromPercentEncoding
  before being compared to the stored document URI so wave-underlines appear
  correctly for notes with spaces in their name (for #3467)
• Added an inline Markdown LSP diagnostic context menu section that appears
  when right-clicking on a wave-underlined region in the note editor; it shows
  the diagnostic message as a header and fetches available LSP code actions
  (fixes) via a short synchronous wait, then lists each fix as a clickable menu
  item — matching the same UX pattern used by the LanguageTool and Harper
  context menus; the old standalone Code actions menu item in the
  Markdown LSP submenu has been removed in favour of this inline approach
  (for #3467)
• Fixed a protocol bug where the Markdown LSP client did not respond to
  server-initiated requests (e.g. client/registerCapability), causing the
  LSP server to stall after the initial didOpen; subsequent didChange
  notifications were silently ignored by the server so diagnostics never
  refreshed after the first note load (for #3467)
• Fixed stale Markdown LSP wave underlines remaining visible after applying
  a quick-fix or manually editing the text to resolve a diagnostic; when fresh
  diagnostics arrive from the server, blocks that previously had diagnostics
  are now also rehighlighted so their old underlines are cleared
  (for #3467)
• Moved the Markdown LSP configuration out of the Editor settings into its
  own Markdown LSP settings page to make the language-server options easier
  to find and manage (for #3467)
• Added Auto-detect and Test Connection actions to the Markdown LSP
  settings page so QOwnNotes can discover supported servers such as marksman
  and rumdl, prefill the correct command-line arguments, and verify that the
  configured LSP server completes its initialization handshake
  (for #3467)
• Fixed switching the configured Markdown LSP service in the settings so the
  editor now restarts the running LSP client and reconnects the current note
  immediately instead of continuing to talk to the previously selected server
  until the application is restarted (for #3467)
• Fixed the AI toolbar disabled confirmation so choosing Don't ask again!
  together with No now actually suppresses the dialog on later runs instead
  of prompting again every time an AI backend is configured while the toolbar
  stays hidden (for #3561)

Release v26.4.23

26.4.23

• Fixed shortcuts not being saved or restored in the Shortcuts settings;
  storeShortcutSettings now iterates the actual menu actions (mirroring how
  initShortcuts reads them) and looks up the corresponding widgets in the
  tree by action name, and shortcut values are stored as strings to match the
  format expected by initShortcuts (for #3584)
• Fixed a crash when assigning a shortcut in the Shortcuts settings;
  keySequenceEvent and findKeySequenceWidget now use recursive tree
  traversal to handle the multi-level menu hierarchy correctly
  (for #3584)
• Fixed a possible crash that occurred when Qt's internal style machinery was still
  processing a system color scheme change event while applyDarkModeSettings()
  was called synchronously, causing a SIGSEGV in QtWidgets; the UI update is now
  deferred via QTimer::singleShot so it runs after the current event is fully
  processed (for #3578)
• Added a Show all LSP server log output in debug log checkbox to the
  Markdown language server section in the Editor settings; when
  enabled, every line written to the LSP server's stderr is forwarded to
  the Qt debug log so the full server output is visible (e.g. via
  QT_LOGGING_RULES="*.debug=true"); the checkbox is disabled when the
  LSP is not enabled (for #3467)
  • All Markdown LSP server stderr output is then forwarded to the debug log
    (via qDebug) so the full server log is visible when running QOwnNotes
    with debug output enabled; previously only lines containing ERR/ERROR
    were forwarded
  • Added debug logging when textDocument/publishDiagnostics notifications
    are received from the Markdown LSP server and when they are applied to the
    note text edit, to help diagnose why error markers may not appear; note that
    marksman (the default LSP server) does not publish diagnostics — it
    focuses on cross-reference and wiki-link completion only; to get real-time
    wave-underline error markers in the note editor, configure a linting LSP
    such as rumdl (command: rumdl, argument: server) which provides 71
    Markdown lint rules and publishes textDocument/publishDiagnostics

Release v26.4.22

26.4.22

• The Shortcuts settings action name tree now shows the full menu hierarchy,
  with submenus rendered as nested tree nodes so all levels of the menu structure
  are visible (for #3583)
• Added a new Note text edit submenu to the Edit main menu that exposes
  all note text edit context menu actions (link, block quote, list operations,
  Markdown operations, search text on web, find note, copy code block) so they
  can be reached from the menu bar and have shortcuts assigned in the
  Shortcuts settings; the submenu is only enabled when the note edit panel
  is visible (for #3582)
• Added more French, Spanish, Korean translation (thank you, jd-develop,
  AlejandroMoc, VenusGirl)

Release v26.4.21

26.4.21

• Added a new Markdown operations submenu to the note text edit context
  menu with actions to increase or decrease the heading depth of selected ATX
  and setext Markdown headings (for #672)
• The note link dialog note list now also shows the Modified column even
  when note sub-folder support is disabled (for #1679)
• Fixed auto-detected links inside italic or bold Markdown text so trailing
  brackets and emphasis markers are no longer treated as part of the URL target
  or link highlight (for #3580)
• Fixed the Harper settings status row so the Status: label is aligned with
  the status text again and the result text no longer repeats the Status:
  prefix in the Settings dialog (for #3576)
• Updated the Harper linter list in the Settings dialog to remove the
  upstream-deleted Matcher and Wrong Quotes rules and add Quote Spacing,
  No French Spaces, and Wrong Apostrophe instead (for
  #3576)

Release v26.4.20

26.4.20

• Added the linked note's tags to the note link dialog list, so notes can be
  distinguished more easily before inserting a link (for #1679)
• Added cross-platform system color scheme detection for Qt 6.5+ builds at
  startup and while the app is running, so QOwnNotes can now also ask on macOS
  and other supported platforms whether it should switch dark mode when the
  system appearance changes; the live prompt mentions that updating the UI
  takes a short while (for #3578)
• Added support for Harper as an
  offline, privacy-first grammar checker, available as an alternative to
  LanguageTool (for #3576)
• Added persistence for custom column order and widths in multi-column
  list and tree headers such as the note link, Todo, Nextcloud Deck,
  locally trashed notes and shortcuts dialogs, so manual header rearrangements
  survive reopening the views (for #3579)
• Fixed note editor cursor navigation so pressing Up at the first
  character of the second line now correctly moves the cursor to the first line
  again (for #3572)

Release v26.4.19

26.4.19

• Fixed note folder switching so all modified notes are written to disk before
  another note folder becomes active, preventing edited notes from being saved
  into the newly selected folder instead of their original one (for
  #3575)
• Fixed the Navigation panel heading parser so lines inside fenced code
  blocks are no longer interpreted as Markdown headings, preventing entries
  like # ls -l or ## test from appearing in the heading tree (for
  #3577)

Release v26.4.18

26.4.18

• Fixed the main menu action Scripting > Find scripts in script repository,
  which stopped opening the script repository after the settings dialog pages
  were moved into dedicated widgets (for #3570)
• Added an optional Import metadata as YAML front matter mode to the
  Evernote import dialog, so imported note metadata can be stored in hidden
  front matter instead of a visible Markdown table when that format is preferred
  (for #1404)
• Added a new Edit > Select > Select enclosed text action that selects the
  innermost text surrounded by common Markdown delimiters, quotes, or brackets,
  making Vim-like "select inner block" selection available from the menu and a
  shortcut (for #1555)
• Conflicted copies of the note folder database notes.sqlite can now merge
  missing tags and note tag assignments into the current database before the
  conflicted copy is removed, so sync conflicts no longer force you to choose
  between keeping one side's tag changes or deleting the conflicted database
  copy outright (for #1625)
