* Clicking the URL (inside of an image `` or link `[text](link)`) no longer navigates there, you need to click on the anchor text to navigate there now (this avoids a lot of weird behavior).
* Most areas where you enter text (e.g. the page name, page switcher, command palette and filter boxes) now use a CodeMirror editor. This means a few things:
1. If you have vim mode enabled, this mode will also be enabled there.
2. You can now use the emoji picker (`:party` etc.) in those places, in fact, any plug implementing the `minieditor:complete` event —right now just the emoji picker — will work.
* Added support for plugs to extend fenced code blocks with custom languages and rendering live-preview widgets for them. As a demo of this, have a look at markdown support (mostly for demo purposes):
```markdown
# Header
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
```
Two more plugs are now available that add [[🔌 Mermaid]] and [[🔌 KaTeX]] (LaTeX formula) support using this functionality.
* Moving up from the first line of the page will now move your cursor to the page title for you to rename it, and moving down from there puts you back in the document.
* Note for plug authors: The (misnamed) `page:complete` event has been renamed to `editor:complete`. There's also a new `minieditor:complete` that's only used for "mini editors" (e.g. in the page switcher, command palette, and page name editor).
* The `--user` authentication flag is now no longer powered by BasicAuth, but through a simple login form asking for a username and password and storing it in a cookie (that persists for 1 week). This gives the same level of security, but works around various browser bugs with basic auth.
* Vim mode is here! This mode can be enabled on a per-client basis (its state is stored in the browser). To toggle Vim mode on or off use the {[Editor: Toggle Vim Mode]} command.
* Security update: SB now binds to `127.0.0.1` by default, allowing just connections via `localhost`. To allow outside connections, pass the `--hostname 0.0.0.0` flag (and ideally combine it with a `--user username:password` flag to add basic authentication).
* Replaced the `--password` flag with `--user` taking a basic auth combination of username and password, e.g. `--user pete:1234`. Authentication now uses standard basic auth. This should fix attachments not working with password-protected setups.
* Enable configuration of IP to bind to (via `--host` flag) by [Jouni K. Seppänen](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/pull/138)
* Markdown enhancements:
* Added support for ~~strikethrough~~ syntax.
* Added support for [admonitions](https://github.com/community/community/discussions/16925) using Github syntax (`note` and `warning`) by [Christian Schulze](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/pull/186)
* Directives have been heavily reworked, and are now "properly" parsed. This is visible in two ways:
* There's now syntax highlighting for queries
* Once the cursor is placed within a directive, it shows the whole block as a "capsule" enclosed in the opening and close tag, when the cursor is outside, it just subtly highlights what parts of a page are directive generated.
* Fix for the {[Page: Rename]} command by [Chris Zarate](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/pull/190)
* Empty query result set rendered as a table now shows “No results” instead of an empty markdown table — fix by [ItzNesbro](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/pull/192).
* New page link aliasing syntax (Obsidian compatible) is here: `[[page link|alias]]` e.g. [[CHANGELOG|this is a link to this changelog]]. Also supported for command links: `{[Plugs: Add|add a plug]}`
* Less "floppy" behavior when clicking links (regular, wiki and command): just navigates there right away. Note: use `Alt-click` to move the cursor inside of a link.
* The editor is now in "live preview" mode where a lot of markdown is hidden unless the cursor is present. This will take some getting used to, but results in a much more distraction free look.
* Clicking on the page name in the top bar now allows you to quickly rename pages, hit enter to apply the change.
* The previous behavior of opening the page switcher, has now moved to its own action button (the folder one)
* **Breaking change:** task and item tags are [now indexed without the prefixing `#`](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/124), this means that any queries, such as `#query task where tags = "#mytag"` need to be rewritten to `#query task where tags = "mytag"`. This will go into effect after a space reindex.
* Rich text paste: paste content from web pages, google docs, including tables and SB will make a best effort to convert it to Markdown. Implemented using [turndown](https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown). Probably can use some tweaking, but it's something.
* Breaking change (for those who used it): the named anchor syntax has changed from `@anchorname` to `$anchorname`. This is to avoid conflicts with potential future use of `@` for other purposes (like mentioning people). Linking to an anchor still uses the `[[page@anchorname]]` syntax. So, you create an anchor $likethis you can then reference it [[@likethis]].
* The `query` plug has been renamed to `directive` (because it supports many other features now) and significantly refactored. New docs: [[🔌 Directive]]
* New directive `#eval` see [[🔌 Directive@eval]]
* New PlugOS feature: redirecting function calls. Instead of specifying a `path` for a function, you can now specify `redirect` pointing to another function name, either in the same plug using the `plugName.functionName` syntax.
* New {[Open Weekly Note]} command (weeks start on Sunday by default, to allow for planning, but you can change this to Monday by setting the `weeklyNoteMonday` to `true` in [[Settings]]). Like for {[Open Daily Note]} you can create a template in `template/page/Weekly Note`.
