The graph view has been rewritten on HTML canvas, so large workspaces stay smooth and interactive — node hit-testing, label rendering, and redraws are all batched and viewport-aware.
A new options popover (gear icon in the graph header) lets you tune the graph per workspace: Repel force, Link distance, Link strength, and Center force for the physics, plus Node size, Link opacity, Link thickness, and Label zoom threshold for display.
Filter the graph by hiding orphan nodes or setting a minimum connection count to focus on hub notes.
All settings persist per-workspace and can be reset to defaults from the same popover.

The inline backlinks panel has been replaced with a dedicated References sheet — opened from a row above the title, from the new View References command, or with the CMD/Ctrl + Shift + R shortcut.
Each reference now shows the full structural block — paragraph, list item, heading, or blockquote — that contains the hit, with the matched term highlighted.
Results are split into Linked references and Mentions — bare title matches that aren't yet wiki-linked. Mentions get a one-click Link action that converts them into a [[wiki-link]] in place.
The sheet is virtualized, so notes with hundreds of references stay responsive. Sort by A→Z, Z→A, or recency from the header dropdown.
Frontmatter [[wiki-links]] now also count toward the reference badge shown above the title.
Mentions inside markdown links ([text](url)), images, and code blocks are correctly excluded from the results.

New Paragraph Spacing and List Spacing sliders in Settings → Editor → Typography let you tune the vertical rhythm of your notes.

Major data-fetching rewrite under the hood — Octarine now uses better caching, bringing fewer redundant disk reads and noticeably fewer re-renders when many notes are open.
Cold workspace open does roughly half the database reads it used to, and editing or saving a note no longer cascades re-renders into unrelated panels.
Reduced memory usage on large workspaces & improved tab switches.
Workspace search and related-notes computation are less janky during typing.
Improved codeblock rendering performance when on a custom theme.

New Keep inactive split panes at full opacity setting in Settings → Preferences for users who don't want the focused-pane dimming effect.
License errors and the Pro settings page now show a Manage Devices button that links to your dashboard at octarine.app, making it easy to free up an activation slot.
The Properties panel now shows the property's type icon next to its name in the editor.

Fixed custom themes not applying correctly to code blocks — particularly custom dark themes, which would render with light syntax colors until the editor was reloaded.
Fixed an issue where toggling the Show dot-folders setting wouldn't update the file tree until you switched workspaces.
Fixed Kanban property chips and a duplicated name field that appeared in some card configurations.
Fixed list spacing being subtly looser than before after the typography sliders were introduced.
Fixed an inline filter field issue on Views.

The backlinks panel in the Meta sidebar and backlinks panel at the bottom of the editor are now replaced with the new References sheet.
- Settings > Editor > Show Inline Backlinks setting has been removed.
