No longer broken - Fixed a bug where switching focus between the main window and a pop-out window could cause the wrong tab to become active. Developers - API: Exposed new SecretStorage and a complementary SecretComponent for plugins to integrate with the secret storage. The secret storage is a new opt-in way for plugins to save keys that might be shared across multiple plugins. For example, a Google API token, or an OpenAI key. Instead of requiring users to copy-paste the same keys into multiple plugin settings, plugins can now fetch keys from a shared collection of secrets identified by a user-provided name.

Shiny new things This update introduces a new migration assistant for Obsidian Sync. This tool will allow you to perform migrations for your remote Sync vaults, such as encryption upgrades, and in the future the ability to switch regions.

Once there is a new version of this plugin available, it can be re-enabled. - Drastically improved the performance of the Search view.

Introducing Bases, a new core plugin that lets you turn any set of notes into a powerful database. With Bases you can organize everything from projects to travel plans, reading lists, and more. Bases lets you create custom views to visualize and interact with data in your vault. You can filter your notes by properties and create formulas to derive your own dynamic properties. All the data in a base is backed by your local Markdown files and properties stored in YAML. To support Bases, we're introducing the .base file format and syntax. Shiny new things - New Footnotes view core plugin adds a new sidebar tab that helps you manage footnotes for the current file without losing your place in the note. Breaking changes - We have officially removed support for the properties tag, alias, cssclass in favor of tags, aliases and cssclasses. In addition, the values of these properties must be a list. If the current value is a text property, it will no longer be recognized by Obsidian. In the "Format converter" core plugin, there is a new option to fix any incorrectly formatted aliases, tags, and cssclasses in your vault. It will also migrate your old alias, tag, and cssclass properties to the new format. Improvements - Property editor is now available inside page preview and Canvas. - Sync: Added new "Conflict resolution" setting. Choose how Obsidian handles file conflicts when syncing: Merge (default) or create conflict file. - Added button to open current page preview in a tab. - In…
