Obsidian 1.13.6 is now available to all for desktop and mobile. Highlights - Mobile: Added swipe-to-close to close tabs in the tab switcher. - Improved "Undo close tab" behavior. Tabs now reopen in the correct tab group, and if the currently active tab is the "New tab" page, it will no longer be reused. - The settings window now closes when pressing `Escape`, and more improvements to keyboard navigation. - When Obsidian is fullscreen, the settings window now opens on top of the app window instead of creating an additional fullscreen window. - Range sliders in settings now use the accent color. - The installer has been updated to use Electron 43.3.0. To upgrade, visit the download page and reinstall Obsidian. Bug fixes - The app now waits for configuration files to finish saving when quitting to avoid the file getting corrupted. - iOS: Fixed editor sometimes selecting entire paragraph after double-tapping on text or dragging cursor. - Fixed a few issues with link suggestions in the property editor. For example, typing `#` in a link would cause the link to get overridden. - Fixed dragging links out of an embedded Base (e.g. `![[file.base]]`) linking to the Base file and not the file you're dragging. - Live Preview: Fixed memory leak caused by reordering rows or columns in a Markdown table. - Live Preview: Restored old behavior of embedded YouTube and Twitter links; they no longer have a selection state or an overlayed edit button. - Fixed zoom level getting reset after reloading the window and vaults on network drives not working with the latest installer.
