Zettlr for Mac

GUI and Functionality

• Feature: Admonitions are here! Zettlr now supports a broad range of
• admonitions (sometimes also referred to as alerts or callouts). You can use
• admonitions to emphasize certain content in your documents using Blockquote
• syntax with a special header (see PR. #6497 for details). This closes a long-
• standing feature request (#532). Some notes:
• Admonitions come with support of five keywords: note (gray), tip
• (green), warning (yellow), important (purple), and caution (red).
• Zettlr supports custom titles for admonitions (full compatibility with other
• popular Markdown editors).
• The app ships with a renderer for admonitions that you can turn on and off
• just like any other renderer.
• Note that, to make admonitions survive exports, you will need to enable the
• alerts-extension of Pandoc in the reader of the profile in question.
• Zettlr will use similar HTML-syntax when you copy text with admonitions
• using the "Copy with Styles" option, but whether this survives pasting into
• other applications depends on support on their side.
• Feature: You can now choose whether you want to automatically accept the
• selected autocomplete suggestion when pressing Tab, Enter, both, or
• disable automatic accepting entirely (#6485).
• Change: The old mark setting has been replaced by a new settings
• category that enforces support for several Pandoc extensions during export. If
• you have disabled the mark support in the import/export settings previously,
• you will need to disable this again after updating Zettlr.
• Change: Fixed a fundamental issue with the full-text search that would
• turn AND-searches implicitly into OR searches. If you relied on how
• the full-text search actually worked, and not how it was described in the
• documentation, you will now have to explicitly add pipe-operators (|)
• between your search terms to mark them as alternatives. By default, the full-
• text search now requires all operators separated by a space to be present in a
• file to be considered a valid result (#6517).
• New Translation: Zettlr now ships with an additional language:
• Azerbaijani. See PR #6548 for details.
• Improved the custom title bar style on both Linux (if native appearance is
• turned off) and Windows. Here's what changed:
• The logo is now an actual element rather than background, and has been
• scaled down to better fit into the menu bar.
• The window controls now use a transparent background and a light/dark color
• depending on which theme the app is currently using.
• Improved the spacing around the menu items to make them less menacing.
• Fixed the about window's debug tab: No more horizontal scrolling, and the
• PATH-variable is properly split into segments.
• Fixed some alignment issues with custom symbols on toolbar buttons; now the
• buttons should all be properly centered.
• Fixed an issue where in some places instead of showing you a proper file
• title, the app would default to only showing you the filename, and neither a
• heading or YAML title, if you specified it as such. Now, the logic has been
• centralized and everywhere you expect a proper file title it should now show
• you one (see #6471).
• Set default mode for LanguageTool to standard for new installations. If you
• prefer picky, simply set it accordingly.
• Fixed an issue where configuration changes emitted from the onboarding dialog
• for new users were one-way-only, with no way to undo the changes. This has now
• been changed: the buttons accurately reflect the actual configuration state,
• and pressing the buttons multiple times toggles between the two sets of
• suggested settings (#6429).
• Update translations:
• ko-KO (#6478).
• de-DE.
• ja-JP (#6480).
• ca-ES (#6530).
• pt-BR (#6537).
• tr-TR (#6533).
• az-AZ (#6548).
• Renamed "Remove line breaks" to "Remove excess line breaks."
• Fixed an issue in full text search where multiple search terms separated by
• whitespace would use an 'OR' operator rather than the documented 'AND'
• operator. Now, search terms separated by whitespace correctly use the 'AND'
• operator (#6517).
• Fixed an issue that prevented inserting a new row when the cursor is placed in
• the final row of the table (#6512; #6513).

Under the Hood

• Update Electron to v43.6.0.
• Zettlr now checks whether a Pandoc extension it seeks to enable during export
• is actually supported by the reader to avoid errors when, e.g., using the
• commonmark reader which does not support the mark extension.
• Updates to the translations are now deterministic (#6538). This causes minimal
• diffs between iterations and should also reduce the risks for merge conflicts
• between open translation PRs and POT update PRs.
