An attempt at documenting the changes/new features introduced in each release.

Edge

• Nothing new yet since 2.1.8

2.1.8

• New ^Library/Std/APIs/Virtual Page API, internally used by:
  • ^Library/Std/Infrastructure/Tag Page
  • ^Library/Std/Infrastructure/Search
• Some fixes in tonumber handling
• Default table renderer now renders ref attributes as links, so they’re clickable: ${queryfrom index.tag "page" limit 3 select {ref=ref, lastModified=lastModified}}
• Fix: render TOC correctly when header itself contains a link (by Oleksandr Kuvshynov)
• Fix: read-only pages are now never saved back to your space (could happen, e.g. with tasks on tag pages)
• Fix: Table of Contents widget works again
• Fix: Poor behavior when multiple pages are delete in sequence (by Oleksandr Kuvshynov)
• Lua:
  • Setting a table value to nil now deletes it as a key, so it no longer appears in table.keys

2.1.7

• Restructure of the Library/Std library, added some more (self) documentation. See ^Library/Std as an entry point.
• Re-added page:saved event that was removed in 2.1
• When the clipboard API is used in Safari, will now give a proper error (Safari restriction) by (Noah Stanley)
• Full text search results now show full page path
• Space folders now support symlinks again (regression from 2.1)
• Lua: fixes in arithmetic model (by Matouš Jan Fialka)
• Lua: Removed unary plus from grammar (wasn’t actually supported) (by Matouš Jan Fialka)
• Bugfix: auth and service worker caching fixes
• Bugfix: docker health check failed when SB_URL_PREFIX was used
• Bugfix: infinite item index loop in obscure cases

2.1.4 - 2.1.6

• Fixed broken auth in Safari
• Renamed the inconstently named index.search.enable to index.search.enabled
• Last opened (for pages) and last run (for commands) timestamps are now kept persistently between client loads (and tabs)
• Fixed docker user and group creation issues
• Removed file:deleted triggering when checking for getFileMeta (causing an infinite indexing loop in SilverSearch)
• Server: HTTP Gzip compression is now enabled for sensible content types
• Nicer syntax to query tag objects from the index: tags.page becomes an alias for index.tag "page" (implemented here: ^Library/Std/APIs/Tag)
• Hidden files and folders (starting with .) are no longer synced, as well as files without a file extension (those were not support anyway)

2.1.2

This is a major architectural overhaul compared to 2.0. Please — as always — make sure you regularly backup your space files to avoid any data loss. Nothing should happen, but better be safe than sorry!

• All new server written in Go (previously written using Deno). Uses significantly less memory and is significantly smaller in size.
• Docker base image is now based on Alpine (previously Ubuntu), further reducing memory and disk space usage.
• Significant engine re-architecture: see Architecture and Sync, now lives in the service worker and parallelizes sync. Once upgrading a full resync will need to happen. Documents are no longer synced by default (you can enable this via config, see Sync).
• More configuration options for what to index (see ^Library/Std/Config under the index section) for the purpose of reducing local storage size and needless CPU waste. Some useful ones:
  • config.set("index.search.enabled", false) to disable Full Text Search entirely (saves on processing and storage if you don’t use it)
  • config.set("index.paragraph.all", false) to disable indexing all (untagged) paragraphs. This is also somewhat wasteful if you don’t query these.
• Disable ability to rename pages in read-only mode (by Jelenkee)
• Improved docker build + health check (by Zef)
• Added templates.tagItem template (by Andy Costanza)
• Support links in table queryable objects (by Alex Dobin)
• Refactor of document editors (by MrMugame)
• Command to toggle markdown syntax rendering (by aphymi)
• Fix transclusions not being indexed as links (by MrMugame)
• Render links inside frontmatter code as clickable anchors (by Andy Constanza)
• New SB_LOG_PUSH option asking clients to push their browser JS logs to the server so they’re visible there.
• Hot reloading plugs has been disabled because it caused some nasty race condition. To explicitly reload plugs without restarting the client, use the Plugs: Reload command.

2.0.0

• We’re now live!
