"**Improved Tagging Experience**\n\n<video autoPlay controls playsInline muted loop>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_23_2_tags.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- Tags have been completely redesigned. They now appear as regular, visible text instead of as a separate node. This change makes them easier to search for within the file, editable, and non-blocking.\n- Additionally, the tag design now uses the theme's accent color and no longer includes a background.\n- Tags can now be added to existing text by placing `#` before them or using the find and replace function.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Creating a new note, automatically focuses the file name in the breadcrumb for quick editing.\n  - If the `Settings → Editor → Show File Name Input` is toggled on, then the focus would be on the file name inside the editor.\n- Ignore the `d, do, dd` error if one of `P, PP, PPP or PPPP` is typed in the date format setting.\n- Improve selection colors for Dark and Dim themes.\n\n**Changes**\n\n- Sidebar is now NOT resizable for daily desk. It is fixed to fit the calendar (resizes automatically with zoom). Switching to search / notes / templates will still allow resizing.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed a bug where invalid characters pasted from a migration tool (evernote) caused the app to crash.\n- Fixed a bug where single `replace` would replace it with `<blank>` and not the actual replace term.\n- Fixed an issue where typing `/<character>` in ask assistant to filter the common prompts would not allow keyboard navigation using arrow keys.\n"

"**Focus Mode (Pro)**\n\n<video autoPlay controls playsInline muted loop>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_23_0_focus_mode.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- A new **Focus Mode** has been introduced, which dims everything except the currently edited text or sentence. This feature enhances concentration and reduces distractions.\n- Focus Mode also hides the global breadcrumb, the note breadcrumb, and collapses any open sidebar.\n- While in Focus Mode, `CMDK` remains accessible, but all other actions (e.g., Workspace Search, Recently Viewed) are disabled until you exit Focus Mode.\n- To enable **Focus Mode**, use: `CmdK → Focus Mode`\n- To disable it, use the `CMDK` bar or click the `eye` icon at the top.\n- **Available to users on the Pro License.**\n\n**Custom Date Formatting**\n\n<video autoPlay controls playsInline muted loop>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_23_0_custom_date.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- `Settings → Preferences` now includes an option to modify the date formatting throughout the app.\n  - The following areas will be impacted: `CMD + D`, `Graph`, `Doclinks`, and `Daily Desk Breadcrumb`.\n  - Note storage will remain unchanged, continuing to use the format `Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- `CMDK` — Daily and Weekly notes display available commands in the command bar.\n\n**Changes**\n\n- `App` — Call to action buttons across the app now have consistent design.\n- `Graph` — Increased zoom threshold before showing node names.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- `Editor` — Resolved an issue where pasting links containing `#` in the title caused them to be treated as tags upon refreshing or reloading the note.\n- `Sidebar` — Corrected a problem that caused the meta and tags sidebar to appear on the left when the screen width was less than 768 pixels.\n- `Workspace` — Resolved an issue that caused the creation of a workspace to fail when a folder with the same name as an existing path was already present.\n- `Attachments` — Include a condition to identify local image links on Windows.\n- `CMDK` — Fixed **Lock Note** command not showing up for a note.\n"

"**Ask Assistant - Ollama Support & Custom Servers**\n\n![AI Settings](https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_22_0_settings.png)\n![Ask Assistant Model Selector](https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_22_0_ask_assistant.png)\n\n- Local LLMs (with Ollama) are now supported for Ask Assistant.\n- In `Settings → AI`, you can —\n  - Change the `BASE_URI` for both OpenAI and Ollama integration.\n  - Edit the system prompt if the default setting isn’t helpful.\n\nNote — You must set up `ollama` and have it running to use it in Octarine. Ask Assistant will notify you if Ollama is not running.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- `Ask Assistant` — The text area now automatically focuses for typing after the response stream ends.\n- `Ask Assistant` — The system prompt has been refined for more precise responses.\n- `Search` — Debounce timing has been increased to prevent spamming the results list.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- `Daily Desk` — Resolved a bug that caused the app to crash when the searched text appeared in a weekly note.\n- `Ask Assistant` — Fixed a bug where APIs were not whitelisted for Windows/Linux, rendering the assistant unusable.\n- `Ask Assistant` — Corrected a bug preventing the error toast from displaying.\n- `Editor` — Fixed syntax highlighting issues in several pro themes.\n"

"**Fixes**\n\n- Resolved a bug that caused the app to display a blank screen if the last viewed file before closing was a weekly note.\n- Streamlined routing for accessing weekly notes.\n- Corrected an issue where clicking `Back to Workspace` in Settings would not return you to the last note you were working on.\n"

"**External Files**\n\n<video autoPlay controls playsInline muted loop>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_21_0_external_files.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- You can now reference external files that Octarine doesn’t natively support in your notes. Clicking on these files opens them in the default app, allowing you to work with your notes and references simultaneously.\n\n- The Meta sidebar features an `External References` section for each note. It allows you to import new files or search for existing files in the workspace to reference.\n\n- These references are stored in the markdown as `frontmatter` at the top of the markdown file, which also lays the groundwork for Properties/Frontmatter in upcoming releases.\n\n  - Here’s an example of how the frontmatter will appear in the file:\n\n    ```yaml\n    ---\n    external_files:\n      - 2412.10953v1.pdf\n    ---\n    ```\n\n<video autoPlay controls playsInline muted loop>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_21_0_custom_extensions.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- Octarine comes with support for several default extensions. You can add additional extensions that suit your workflow by navigating to `Settings → Files → External Files`.\n\n  - However, the following extensions cannot be imported, as Octarine already supports them natively in your notes: `MD / PNG / JPG / JPEG / GIF / WEBM / SVG / MP4 / MOV`.\n\n**Weekly Notes**\n\n<video autoPlay controls playsInline muted loop>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_21_0_weekly.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- A new column labeled `WN` (Week Number) is now available in the Daily Desk’s Calendar, displaying the weeks of the year.\n- Weekly Notes are stored in the `Daily/Weekly` folder in the workspace, following the `<YEAR>-W<NUMBER>` format.\n- The size of the day buttons in the calendar has been reduced.\n- The week now starts on `Monday` instead of `Sunday`.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- A context menu (right-click) has been added to items under `Attached Media` in the meta sidebar.\n- The style of the Alert Dialog has been updated.\n- Codeblocks are now wrapped to prevent horizontal scrolling on medium-sized windows and above. On smaller windows, codeblocks remain unwrapped and scrollable.\n- The speed of creating a daily note has been improved.\n- Clicking `Regenerate` on an Ask Assistant response now sends an explicit `retry` with the previous response, prompting the LLM to avoid sending the same response again.\n- The `Linked Notes` section in the meta sidebar has a maximum height and a scrollbar, preventing it from occupying the entire sidebar height when numerous doclinks are attached.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- A bug has been fixed where switching workspaces could sometimes display incorrect days with notes in the daily desk’s calendar.\n"

"**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash on switching or creating workspaces :(\n- Fixed a bug where a new workspace would not show the `Welcome` file in the file tree, but would show after a refresh.\n"

"**Improvements**\n\n- Improved error handling when trying to save to a file made read-only in the Finder.
