An attempt at documenting the changes/new features introduced in each
|
||
release.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Next
|
||
* Keyboard shortcuts can now be configured in [[SETTINGS]]
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 0.5.10
|
||
* **Breaking change**: Local attachment URLs (`[page](url)` syntax and `` image syntax) are now interpreted relative to the page's folder unless their URL starts with a `/`, then they're relative to the space root (as per [this issue](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/363))
|
||
* **Breaking change:** Revamped [[Templates]], specifically changed the format of [[Page Templates]]. The “Template: Instantiate Page” has been renamed to {[Page: From Template]}.
|
||
* It is now even more recommended to tag your [[Templates]] with the “template” tag because completion in [[Live Queries]] and [[Live Templates]] will now only suggest `#template` tagged pages.
|
||
* New [[Frontmatter]] attributes with special meaning: `displayName` and `aliases` (allowing to specify alternative names for pages)
|
||
* The [[Page Picker]] now also shows (and matches against) tags, aliases and display names for pages.
|
||
* It is now possible to filter pages based on tags in the [[Page Picker]] by typing a hashtag in the filter phrase, e.g. `#template` to filter pages that have a `template` tag.
|
||
* Added new commands to manage [[Outlines]]. Note this resulted in changing names and keyboard shortcuts for managing folds as well, to be more consistent with the other outline commands.
|
||
* Removed built-in multi-user [[Authentication]], `SB_AUTH` is no longer supported; use `--user` or `SB_USER` instead or an authentication layer such as [[Authelia]].
|
||
* Background and more experimental work:
|
||
* Work on supporting multiple database and storage backends, reviving [[Install/Deno Deploy]] support.
|
||
* This is now documented on the brand-new [[Install/Configuration]] page.
|
||
* A new `silverbullet sync` command to [[Sync]] spaces (early days, use with caution)
|
||
* Technical refactoring in preparation for multi-tenant deployment support (allowing you to run a single SB instance and serve multiple spaces and users at the same time)
|
||
* Lazy everything: plugs are now lazily loaded (after a first load, manifests are cached). On the server side, a whole lot of infrastructure is now only booted once the first HTTP request comes in
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 0.5.8
|
||
* Various bugfixes, primarily related to the new way of running docker containers, which broke things for some people. Be sure to have a look at the new [[Install/Configuration]] configuration options
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 0.5.7
|
||
* New {[Upload: File]} command to upload files and pictures (particularly valuable for mobile use cases). Implemented by [prcrst](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/pull/571).
|
||
* General support for highlighting errors (underlined) in the editor. Currently implemented for:
|
||
* All YAML fenced code blocks (and [[Frontmatter]]): will now highlight YAML parse errors
|
||
* [[Live Queries]]: will highlight non-existing query sources and non-existing template references in `render` clauses
|
||
* Basic [[Table of Contents]] support: any page _with 3 headers or more_ now has a “Table of Contents” widget appear (see this very page). You can toggle this feature using the {[Table of Contents: Toggle]} command.
|
||
* Tapping/clicking the top bar (outside of the page name and action buttons) now scrolls your page to the very top.
|
||
* Slightly more gracious error reporting on load when using the Online [[Client Modes]] and the server is offline.
|
||
* Any page tagged with `#template` is no longer indexed (besides as a `template`)
|
||
* Upgraded set of emoji (completed via the :thinking_face: syntax) to 15.1 (so more emoji)
|
||
* Various bug fixes
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
## 0.5.6
|
||
* Various optimization and bug fixes
|
||
* Experimental idea: [[Template Sets]]
|
||
* The `Alt-Shift-n` key was previously bound to both {[Page: New]} and {[Quick Note]}. That won’t work, so now it’s just bound to {[Quick Note]}
|
||
* The `Alt-q` command is now bound to the new {[Live Queries and Templates: Refresh All]} command, refreshing all [[Live Queries]] and [[Live Templates]] on the page. This is to get y’all prepared to move away from directives.
|
||
* It’s likely that version 0.6.0 **will remove directives**, so please switch over to live queries and templates, e.g. using...
|
||
* The new {[Directive: Convert Entire Space to Live/Templates]} command, which will (attempt) to convert all uses of directives in your space automatically (backup your space before, though, just in case)
|
||
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
## 0.5.5
|
||
* Bugfix: on some filesystems that don't report file creation time (like some NASes), SilverBullet crash. This should now be fixed.
|
||
* Performance improvements the loading of code widgets (e.g. Live Queries, Live Templates)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
## 0.5.4
|
||
* We’re on a journey to rethink [[Templates]]:
|
||
* It is now _recommended_ you tag all your templates with a `#template` tag, this will exclude them from [[Objects]] indexing and may in the future be used to do better template name completion (but not yet).
|
||
* New feature: Introducing [[Slash Templates]], allowing you to create custom [[Slash Commands]]. This deprecates snippets and page templates, because [[Slash Templates]] are awesomer.
|
||
* Many styling fixes and improvements to [[Live Queries]] and [[Live Templates]]
|
||
* Added a “source” button to [[Live Queries]] and [[Live Templates]] for better debugging (showing you the markdown code rendered by the template so you can more easily detect issues)
|
||
* [[Live Queries]]:
|
||
* Support for `render all` where the entire result set is passed to a single template allowing you to e.g. dynamically build up tables, see [[Live Queries$render]] for an example.
|
||
* The default generated [[SETTINGS]] page now contains a link to [[SETTINGS]] on silverbullet.md for documentation purposes.
|
||
* The syntax to reference [[Anchors]] has now changed to use `$`, instead of `@` (e.g. [[Live Queries$render]]), the old syntax still works but is deprecated. The reason for this change is consistency: you define an anchor using the `$myanchor` syntax, referencing it the same way makes more sense.
|
||
* [[Page Name Rules]] are now documented
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
## 0.5.3
|
||
* Changes to [[Objects]]:
|
||
* Paragraphs are now indexed, see [[Objects@paragraph]] (thanks to [Ian Shehadeh](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/pull/528))
|
||
* For consistency, list items are now always indexed as well (whether they contain a [[Tags|tag]] or not) see [[Objects@item]].
|
||
* The {[Directive: Convert to Live Query/Template]} now also converts `#use` and `#include` directives
|
||
* Styling improvements for Linked Mentions
|
||
* SilverBullet now fully works when added as PWA on Safari 17 (via the “Add to Dock” option).
|
||
* Fix support for handlebars variables in [[Live Queries]] and [[Live Templates]]
|
||
* Plug robustness improvements (SB shouldn’t fully break when loading plugs that rely on disabled syscalls)
|
||
* Various other bug fixes
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 0.5.1
|
||
* Fixes to auto-sizing of [[Live Queries]] and [[Live Templates]] widgets
|
||
* Fixed the combination of `limit` and `order by` not working well
|
||
* Auto complete for queries now works for queries split across multiple lines
|
||
* Auto complete for fenced code block languages (use the `/code` slash command)
|
||
* Slightly tweaked semantics for the `=` operator on arrays, see [[Live Queries]] for details

## 0.5.0
|
||
Oh boy, this is a big one. This release brings you the following:
|
||
|
||
* [[Objects]]: a more generic system for indexing and querying content in your space, including the ability to define your own custom object “types” (dubbed [[Tags]]). See the referenced pages for examples.
|
||
* [[Live Queries]] and [[Live Templates]]: ultimately will replace [[🔌 Directive]] in future versions and **[[🔌 Directive]] is now deprecated.** They differ from directives in that they don’t materialize their output into the page itself, but rather render them on the fly so only the query/template instantiation is kept on disk. All previous directive examples on this website how now been replaced with [[Live Templates]] and [[Live Queries]]. To ease the conversion there is {[Directive: Convert Query to Live Query]} command: just put your cursor inside of an existing (query) directive and run it to auto-convert.
|
||
* The query syntax used in [[Live Queries]] (but also used in [[🔌 Directive]]) has been significantly expanded, although there may still be bugs. There’s still more value to be unlocked here in future releases.
|
||
* The previous “backlinks” plug is now built into SilverBullet as [[Linked Mentions]] and appears at the bottom of every page (if there are incoming links). You can toggle linked mentions via {[Mentions: Toggle]}.
|
||
* A whole bunch of [[PlugOS]] syscalls have been updated. I’ll do my best update known existing plugs, but if you built existing ones some things may have broken. Please report anything broken in [Github issues](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues).
|
||
* This release effectively already removes the `#eval` [[🔌 Directive]] (it’s still there, but likely not working), this directive needs some rethinking. Join us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/EvXbFucTxn) if you have a use case for it and how you use/want to use it.
|
||
|
||
**Important**:
|
||
* If you have plugs such as “backlinks” or “graphview” installed, please remove them (or to be safe: all plugs) from the `_plug` folder in your space after the upgrade. Then, also remove them from your [[PLUGS]] page. The backlinks plug is now included by default (named [[Linked Mentions]]), and GraphView still needs to be updated (although it’s been kind of abandoned by the author).
|
||
|
||
Due to significant changes in how data is stored, likely your space will be resynced to all your clients once you upgrade. Just in case you may also want to {[Space: Reindex]} your space. If things are really broken, try the {[Debug: Reset Client]} command.

|
||
## 0.4.0
|
||
The big change in this release is that SilverBullet now supports two [[Client Modes|client modes]]: _online_ mode and _sync_ mode. Read more about them here: [[Client Modes]].
|
||
|
||
Other notable changes:
|
||
* Massive reshuffling of built-in [[🔌 Plugs]], splitting the old “core” plug into [[Plugs/Editor]], [[Plugs/Template]] and [[Plugs/Index]].
|
||
* Directives in [[Live Preview]] now always take up a single line height.
|
||
* [[Plugs/Tasks]] now support custom states (not just `[x]` and `[ ]`), for example:
|
||
* [IN PROGRESS] An in progress task
|
||
* [BLOCKED] A task that’s blocked
|
||
[[🔌 Tasks|Read more]]
|
||
* Removed [[Cloud Links]] support in favor of [[Federation]]. If you still have legacy cloud links, simply replace the 🌩️ with a `!` and things should work as before.
