[changelog] always shipping

What's new.

The app updates itself. These notes appear right inside it after every release. Here's the trail so far.

v2.0.12latest
  • App config now lives in ~/.nolagmind (renamed from ~/.note-app); existing installs are migrated automatically
  • macOS DMG builds work reliably in non-GUI / Automation-denied environments
v2.0.11
  • Rewrote the welcome walkthrough for new vaults — clearer Basics → Power features → What else is possible path
  • macOS download is now a drag-to-Applications DMG instead of a ZIP
v2.0.1
  • Updates — non-blocking corner banner replaces the modal; downloads run in the background and apply automatically when you quit (optional Restart Now)
  • Updates — startup update check always hits the network so available updates surface reliably on launch
  • Faster vault switching — no blank flash when changing vaults; property catalog is cached in memory for revisits
  • Faster startup — combined vault config IPC call, one-pass note property hydration, and legacy mind-map migration runs only once per vault
v2.0.0
  • No Lag Mind Note App 2.0 — clean version numbering from 1.7.9 through 1.9.9
  • Removed experimental move-to-Applications first-launch prompt
v1.9.9
  • Updates — startup update check now always hits the network so the update popup appears reliably on launch (Settings manual check was already correct)
v1.9.8
  • macOS — first launch now offers to move the app from Downloads to your Applications folder (with App Translocation support and optional "Don't ask again")
  • Themes — Rosé Pine accent colors updated to match the official palette
v1.9.7
  • Welcome notes — advanced shortcuts walkthrough now documents autocomplete list actions (⌘Delete to remove custom properties or slash commands, ⌘Enter to edit a slash command)
v1.9.6
  • macOS — Option+letter shortcuts (⌥N, ⌥D, ⌥Z, ⌥[, ⌥1–9, etc.) no longer insert special characters or dead keys into the editor
  • macOS — Escape in native fullscreen no longer exits fullscreen when a modal or in-app handler should consume it
  • Wikilink autocomplete — typing [[ after an existing wikilink in the same paragraph is detected correctly
  • Slash commands — modal editor round-trips markdown the same way as note content (tasks, wikilinks, blank lines)
  • Slash commands — command names are sanitized as you type; Enter/Escape work in the delete confirmation dialog
  • Slash command insertion — expanded content uses the same TipTap markdown pipeline as note loading
  • Editor — opening or switching notes no longer adds spurious undo history steps from post-load normalization
v1.9.5
  • Onboarding walkthrough — welcome notes are reorganized into beginner, intermediate, and advanced stages with dedicated subfolders for each level
  • New vaults — welcome notes copy recursively so nested walkthrough folders come along automatically
  • First vault — the app now opens "Welcome (start here!)" as the landing note instead of the old welcome.md
v1.9.4
  • Board task detail panel — opening task details suspends board keyboard shortcuts and inline editing so the side panel keeps focus without fighting the board behind it
  • Board find — blocked task titles are excluded from search until their blockers are completed
  • Mind map editing — clicking a node to edit now places the caret where you clicked instead of snapping to the end, so wikilink navigation works right after a click
v1.9.3
  • Mind map grow-down layout — top-down trees now use a dedicated layout with tighter sibling spacing and width caps, so cousin branches no longer overlap
  • Faster note switching — wikilink resolution and sidebar sorting no longer rescan the vault on every click or note change
  • Smoother startup — update checks wait until the app is idle and respect the check cooldown, so relaunching does not compete with vault loading
v1.9.2
  • Faster vault switching: revisiting a vault you already opened this session restores its note list instantly
  • Smoother update checks: the app checks for updates immediately on launch instead of waiting for the home screen to finish loading
v1.9.1
  • Developer theme colors: official palette colors for Gruvbox, Monokai Pro, One Dark, Tokyo Night, Ayu, Night Owl, Everforest, Kanagawa, Rosé Pine, and Horizon
v1.9.0
  • Sort by note type: filter notes in Search with sort: note type markdown, mindmap, or board (supports or to combine types)
  • Mind map zoom: Ctrl+scroll to zoom toward the cursor in mind map panes
  • Alias search: aliases now match only when the query appears as a consecutive substring
  • Sort list autocomplete: list property values in sort filters now use prefix matching
v1.8.5
  • Catppuccin themes: official Mocha (dark) and Latte (light) palette colors in Developer Themes
v1.8.4
  • Add due dates to board tasks: set from the column, slash menu, or task detail panel
  • Task view groups board tasks by due date (Overdue, Today, This week, Later)
  • Faster sidebar, search, and startup with improved property cache and usage stats
v1.8.3
  • Fixed the Recent Cards entrance animation stacking cards on top of each other
  • Streamlined the release pipeline for faster updates
v1.8.2
  • Update available popup on launch: blurred backdrop, version, and full release notes
  • Developer themes reorganized: dark and light variants aligned in matching rows
  • Quick, snappy entrance animations for home screens, tasks, calendar, and graph (respects reduced motion)
v1.8.1
  • Rosé Pine theme: the popular developer palette in dark and light (Dawn) variants
  • Find it in Settings → Developer Themes
v1.8.0
