Changelog

Ask Octarine

• The chat landing page has been redesigned with a centered prompt box and compact suggested prompts below — a cleaner starting point for your conversations.
• The prompt box now supports inline @ mentions — type @ to search and reference specific notes or folders directly in your prompt, with styled mention chips that appear in both the input and the chat query bubble.
• The prompt box has been split into a two-part layout — the textarea on top with a toolbar below for model selection, web search, and help.
• The prompt textarea now collapses during AI generation, keeping the stop button visible while saving space.
• Ask Octarine now understands Octarine's custom markdown syntax — highlights, colored text, underlines, and callouts — so it can reproduce them accurately when referencing your notes.
• Search results are now more accurate thanks to improved embedding indexing — frontmatter is stripped before chunking, chunks are properly sized for the model, and date-based queries are smarter.
• The indexing progress bar now shows real progress instead of a simulated animation.
• Notes used as references are now displayed as footnotes in the chat, showing only the specific block of text relevant to each statement or retrieval.
• The Ask / Create toggle has been removed. Octarine now intelligently determines the appropriate action for each query without requiring a mode switch.

Writing Assistant

• The context selector has been removed. The current note is now automatically included as context, and you can add additional context by using the @ mention feature for folders and notes.
• The design of the Prompt box has been updated to match the style used in Ask Octarine.

Editor

• Select text and type a bracket or quote character ((, [, {, ", ', backslash) to automatically wrap the selection with the matching pair. This can be toggled in Settings > Editor.
• Toggle task checkboxes on and off with Ctrl/CMD + Enter — no need to click the checkbox.

Performance

• Switching between notes and tabs no longer causes the properties panel to flicker — the panel now updates in place instead of fully unmounting and remounting.
• Splitting or moving tabs is now instant — pane cleanup runs synchronously, eliminating empty tab bars and zombie panes that could briefly appear.
• Embedding indexing is significantly faster with proper chunk sizing and batched processing, and the progress bar now reflects real progress.

Improvements

• Settings have been reorganized into clearer, more logical groups for easier navigation.
• Property suggestion dropdowns now span the full width of the value column, with readable wikilink titles and consistent styling across all property types.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where re-added attachments would incorrectly show "file does not exist in workspace."
• Fixed pinned view names overlapping other elements.
• Fixed a zombie pane bug caused by an async cleanup race condition.
• Fixed sticky group headers in Views switching too early during scroll.
