Release Notes

New Features

  • πŸͺŸ Separate app windows for separate vaults β€” Opening a vault can now create an independent Tolaria application instance with its own runtime state, window identity, and vault lifecycle.
  • πŸ“Š Core editor performance harness β€” Added a reusable performance regression harness for large-note/editor workflows, including thresholds, statistics, traces, and CI-facing guardrails.
  • 🧭 Bottom-bar vault switching polish β€” Improved the vault switcher/status-bar structure, including clearer menu behavior and reusable vault-list components.
  • 🧩 CircleCI shadow pipeline groundwork β€” Added CircleCI release/CI orchestration docs and config so release gates can be observed outside the primary GitHub Actions path. Improvements
  • ⚑ More responsive inspector and Git history β€” Moved blocking Git history work off the editor path and reduced unnecessary inspector refresh churn while preserving current-note context during refresh.
  • 🎨 Workspace color contract cleanup β€” Consolidated workspace color handling and removed dynamic lookup paths that could make color behavior harder to reason about.
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Fail-closed performance gates β€” Tightened the performance/security gate behavior so regressions are surfaced deterministically instead of silently passing.
  • πŸ“š Expanded public docs and bundled agent docs β€” Updated app/site documentation for rich editor, AI, media previews, Git, keyboard shortcuts, getting-started vaults, and documentation maintenance.
  • πŸ”Ž AI agent detection improvements β€” Improved local OpenCode Desktop detection and hid unsupported Windows settings probes. Fixes
  • Fixed rich editor blank paragraph preservation across Rich ↔ Raw round trips.
  • Fixed rich editor Markdown embed and portable attachment path preservation, including image/attachment serialization expectations.
  • Fixed Unicode/CJK file-path copying so clipboard paths preserve non-ASCII characters.
  • Fixed external links disappearing in large notes.
  • Fixed display math blocks clipping vertically instead of expanding.
  • Fixed saved view drag-order persistence.
  • Fixed Windows note action menus auto-selecting the first item instead of staying open.
  • Fixed malformed vault paths during loading and release of replaced sheet models.
  • Suppressed noisy recovered-editor-depth reports while preserving real recovery behavior. Technical Notes
  • Added ADRs for separate vault application instances, CircleCI release orchestration, and local CodeScene safeguards.
  • Added local CodeScene and performance benchmark documentation plus threshold tooling.
  • Refactored app icon, desktop runtime, vault instance/list, status-bar, editor serialization, markdown compaction, image, performance logging, and workspace-color internals.
  • Added or expanded coverage for editor performance, rich-editor serialization, sheet replacement, saved views, startup performance, telemetry, BlockNote custom block serialization, onboarding vault persistence, and smoke coverage.
