Please help test the new desktop pre-release

New pre-release with more fixes:

https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/tag/v1.0.192

I think we’re getting close to production ready release but if you still notice some issue, please post here.

Security: Changed default encryption method to CCM
Fixed: Handle invalid UTF-8 data when encrypting (#2591)
Fixed: Fixed top margin issue on note rendering
Fixed: Fixed issue with style embeded in notes

Note that due to the encryption method change, non-updated clients won’t be able to decrypt the notes created by this new version (assuming you use E2EE). All clients are going to be updated soon but something to keep in mind.

If you try to sync these newly encrypted notes with a non-updated client, the notes will simply remain encrypted on that client, and will be decrypted when you upgrade.

This would have been a good point to increase the minor. So that all clients with the same minor are compatible.

With how many pre-release builds, I’d definitely expect Joplin 1.1.0. Unless you’re planning on going the Vim route and be up to 8.1.9253 or something crazy before incrementing the minor version. Ha

Hello everybody, I’m experiencing the graphical bug in the screen recording below since I updated Joplin app on MacOS 10.15.3 to v1.0.189. Right now I’m running v1.0.192, always on MacOS.

Bug description

When I’m scrolling down in a note, even if it’s short and it completely fits in the page, I have a white blank margin coming up from below. As you can see, even when not scrolling, there’s also a persistent scrollbar on the right.

Screen Recording is here

If it’s necessary I can create an issue on GitHub.

Let me know, thanks for your help @laurent!

@xplosionmind, there was no attached screen recording.

I'm sorry, I uploaded the video but probably Discourse doesn't support it. Now I fixed it inserting a link to an unlisted YouTube video.

I am using 179. Will there be non revertable changes to the database? i.e. can I just swap back to previous version if need be? If so I’ll give it a spin as it’s easy for me to swap versions the way I have it installed.

I can definitely answer this. I'm not sure what's been changed but all versions past at least the draft version 182 all had where i needed to delete and rebuild my config directory when moving back to 179

memophen · 2020-03-07T21:43:43.358Z

Ah, always good to be reminded to start with a blank ~/.config/joplin-desktop/ (after having it backed up some way) in case of a rollback. I have read various instructions for such cases on this forum, but I would very much appreciate a complete guide in one place for all platforms.

Currently, I do all my experiments on the Mac, because rolling back is so easy there: just rename/move the ~/.config/joplin-desktop/ folder, copy the old Joplin version to /Applications/ (overwriting the newer version), run it, define the wanted configuration settings again (actually the most annoying operation is this procedure), copy the old userstyle.css and userchrome.css to the new ~/.config/joplin-desktop/ folder, exit Joplin, rerun it, and find that everything works again as it did before. And oh yes, the backup of the configuration can now be deleted.

I wouldn’t know how to downgrade on Windows or Linux. And mobile is completely dark matter to me.

That's a good point, and I believe you cannot downgrade because the new version will modify the database structure.

There have been talks of having distinct channels for beta versions, and perhaps that's we should do eventually. It's just particularly tricky with Joplin since there are three different clients.

laurent · 2020-03-07T22:31:55.785Z

It seems most issues are fixed now? I’m thinking about releasing desktop and the mobile apps tomorrow, but if you notice anything let me know.

betternote · 2020-03-08T09:38:43.230Z

Hi,
this version works now. I’ve retrieved all the content and my booknotes.
Thanks to @Laurent and all testers.

laurent · 2020-03-08T09:54:49.721Z

The final version, v1.0.193, is now available. Thanks everyone to help test this release. It was a big one, with several in-depth changes, so that beta testing was really helpful.

Android and CLI versions have been released too, and iOS will come soon.

If you notice any other bug, please open an issue directly on GitHub as it’s easier to keep track of them there.

Hi Helmut,

In latest release 1.0.209 on Win10 the Numpad Ctlr +; Ctrl - and Ctrl 0` still do not work for me.

It works with the numeral-keys above the qwerty-keys Ctrl 0); Ctrl -_ and Ctrl =+ to zoom default, zoom out and zoom in. But in most Apps I am used using the Numpad for this, it works in the browser I am typing this.

Also “edit menu items and shortcuts not disabled in preview mode” is not changed for me. In preview the buttons are visible and pushing B inserts **vetgedrukte tekst** even in preview mode.

tessus · 2020-05-22T22:16:45.433Z

Hmm, this should work though. Unfortunately I don’t have Windows nor a keyboard with a numpad to replicate.
We also updated Electron, but I am not sure it it was after you posted this or before.

Rolograaf · 2020-05-24T18:06:15.356Z

Sorry to say both issues still exist unfortunately

Joplin 1.0.216 (prod, win32)

joeschmoe · 2020-05-25T03:24:11.146Z

hi, I notice the shortcut button for the external editor is missing now. Was this intentional ? I’m using it all the time

dpoulton · 2020-05-25T11:00:56.139Z

Missing toolbar button Support

It will be back in next release.

joeschmoe · 2020-05-27T19:51:38.880Z

I just switched to vim mode (omg, this is awesome) but escape doesn’t put me back into command mode. Is this a bug ?

update: restarting the app “fixed” the issue.
