- The Meta sidebar now includes a Related Notes tab, which uses local embeddings to find notes that are semantically similar.
- You can add related notes directly to a note's properties for quick access.

> Related Notes is only available with a Pro License.

**Improvements**
- Nested bullet lists now use alternating bullet styles to improve visual hierarchy.
- Overall performance has been enhanced with lower CPU usage — local database writes are now batched, and frontmatter processing is more efficient.
- In focus mode, images, videos, and inline elements such as doclinks are now properly dimmed when outside the active sentence.
- Wikilinks in properties are now correctly updated when renaming or moving linked notes.
- A `Randomise Theme` action in the command palette now lets you instantly switch to a random theme.
- A new "Set Random Theme on Startup" preference allows each session to begin with a different theme.
- A new `Related Notes` default property is available for use and querying in properties and views.

**Fixes**
- Fixed an issue where bullet list highlighting in focus mode did not apply correctly to all content types.
- Fixed a bug causing the Ask Octarine history panel's scrolling area to be slightly too short.
- Fixed an issue where auto scroll in Ask Octarine would sometimes push the entire UI up by a few pixels if the sidebar was open.
- Fixed an issue where the editor stats bar displayed the numbers of the currently focused tab across all split panes, even when different notes were open.
- **Windows** — Fixed an issue where the hover card would not appear when hovering over days in the calendar.
- **Windows** — Fixed an issue where linked notes did not display their names with proper formatting.

**Changes**
- The Help button has been moved from the bottom right corner to the top breadcrumb.
