Obsidian 1.7.0 (early access) is now available to Catalyst members for desktop and mobile! Major highlights include a new tab switcher on mobile, and a new Sync history view. Desktop - Obsidian Sync includes a new view that shows a collection of synchronized files. Activate it with the "Show Sync history" command. - You can now click inside a page preview to edit in-place. - You can now create new footnotes by clicking on the hover preview of a footnote ID. - Spellcheck is now disabled inside prompts like the quick switcher and command palette. - Added support for X URL embeds in addition to the old Twitter URLs. - Right-clicking in the gutter of a Markdown view now lets you quickly toggle line numbers or readable line width. - The "Make copy of" menu item has been renamed to "Duplicate" on macOS to match OS conventions. - Obsidian Publish collaborators can now edit content-related site options, including the order of sidebar items. - The "Close all other tabs" command no longer closes pinned tabs. - Search view no longer starts loading search results until the view is displayed. This may improve app loading performance. - Frontmatter is now hidden inside embedded editors such as Canvas file nodes and page preview. - Fixed scrolling within linked Markdown views being choppy. - "Insert Markdown link" and "Insert internal link" commands now support multiple cursors. - Context menus now display correctly in right-to-left mode. - Fixed bug where Obsidian Sync could deactivate itself when syncing to a device with "Sync core plugins" disabled. Mobile - Added a new mobile tab switcher. - Moving the cursor by pressing and holding no longer activates links. - The sidebar animation is now slightly faster. - Improved screen resizing when the keyboard appears on iOS. - The Android back button now closes the active page in settings. - For Android, we've updated haptics to match OS conventions for light, medium, and heavy interactions. - Status bar and navigation bar now match the app background color on Android. - Fixed issue where the pull-down action would activate too easily.
