Pre-release v2.13 is now available (Updated 15/01/2024)

laurent · 2023-09-13T18:57:54.268Z

One major but (hopefully) invisible change in this release is how the note list has been rewritten, so that it can support note list plugins later on.

All existing features should still be there though, but if you notice anything odd please let me know!

I'm thrilled to see that you've merged stylus / drawing support into the dev branch. Thanks to all involved! It looks like there's a tag. Do you make APKs for pre-release android tags available? Is there anyway to get my hands on these shy of building myself?

laurent · 2023-10-08T20:27:50.458Z

Sure, you can always get the latest Android pre-release from here:

Fixed: Beta editor ...

Hi,
Just out of curiousity

Joplin 2.13.4 (prod, win32)

I've seen several mentions of "beta editor" in the latest prereleases.
What is this beta editor on desktop version ? Where can I find it ?
Is this something I need to activate somewhere ?
Should I see something different, or new, in my notes ?

Thanks.

laurent · 2023-10-31T11:36:33.694Z

That's a good question - it's a new editor based on CodeMirror 6, which among other things will allow us to use the same code for both the mobile app (which already uses CM6) and the desktop app. The refactoring should also make it easier to support plugins on mobile, but maybe @personalizedrefriger can confirm about this?

That's correct! If plugin authors write plugins to support the CodeMirror 6 beta editor on desktop, it will be much easier to port them to mobile. We provide a limited and somewhat-buggy compatibility layer that should allow some plugins to work in the beta editor with minimal modification. Plugins can access the CodeMirror 6 API through the .cm6 or .editor properties on the compatibility layer.

Another goal is accessibility by default (see this related issue).

The editor also includes:

Spellcheck that is disabled in some parts of the editor (e.g. URLs, math, code) and enabled in others.
Better (in some cases ) markdown editing. For example, lists are re-numbered when items are indented.
Support for replacement decorations in plugins, which I don't think were supported in CodeMirror 5.
A newer version of CodeMirror's Vim emulation, which addresses this issue.

Thanks @laurent and @personalizedrefriger for your answers.

I used joplin-deb to create a .deb file from the latest source. It's been working just fine on my LMDE 6 (Debian 12) system. I haven't dug into the software for new features, just using it as I always have and it just works.

Forgive my ignorance, but are pre-releases known not to play nice with plugins (at least up until it's closer to general release)? Asking because the Favorites plugin (v1.3.0) isn't working with 2.13.5 - as in, left clicking on any of the notes in Favorites does not open the note; right clicking does work as expected though.
