# Changelog

Rendered from `CHANGELOG.md` in the repository; each section is also the [GitHub release](https://github.com/0x1ocean/tnotes/releases) note.

All notable changes to tnotes. The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/); the section for a version is used verbatim as its GitHub release notes.

## [Unreleased](https://github.com/0x1ocean/tnotes/compare/v1.3.0...HEAD)

### Added

-   README: sync (Syncthing/iCloud/Dropbox/git) and encryption recipes; conflict-copy behaviour documented and pinned by a test.
-   Homebrew tap: `brew install 0x1ocean/tnotes/tnotes` (macOS Apple Silicon/Intel, Linux x86\_64/aarch64); the formula is regenerated on every release.

## [1.3.0](https://github.com/0x1ocean/tnotes/compare/v1.2.0...v1.3.0) - 2026-09-21

### Added

-   CLI `write <note> --stdin` (replace the text; a changed title renames the file and updates `[[links]]`; a concurrent edit becomes a conflict copy and an error; empty input is refused) and `append <note> [text|--stdin]`.
-   CLI `restore <note>`, `--limit N` for `ls`/`search`, `text` in `cat --json`; `new` refuses a title that already exists unless `--duplicate` is given.
-   Prebuilt release tarballs for Linux x86\_64 (glibc, musl), Linux aarch64, and macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel), with SHA-256 sums.
-   A note renamed on disk (`mv`, or `tnotes write` changing the title) keeps its tab in a running TUI; unsaved edits in that tab become a conflict copy next to the new file.
-   Quitting with a note that cannot be saved (disk full, permissions) writes its text under the state directory (`…/tnotes/unsaved/`) and reports the path instead of losing it; trash, folder delete and reload refuse to proceed after a failed save.

### Fixed

-   `ls --json` on a large vault resolved backlinks quadratically (2 s for 500 notes); now linear (40 ms).
-   CLI: `--tag '#work'` works for `new`, `ls` and `search` (leading `#` stripped); a blank title is rejected instead of creating `untitled.md`; `append "- item"` no longer trips the argument parser.
-   Clicking a row in a scrolled overlay (folder browser, backlinks, move picker) hit the wrong entry.
-   Pasting while the settings page was open went into the hidden editor.
-   With emacs keys, `ctrl+c`/`ctrl+q` now also quit from the settings page.
-   External updates of an open note keep the cursor position instead of jumping to the top.
-   `editor.width` from the config is clamped to 40..=160 like the settings page does.

## [1.2.0](https://github.com/0x1ocean/tnotes/compare/v1.1.1...v1.2.0) - 2026-09-21

### Added

-   `ctrl+c` quits, alongside `ctrl+q`.
-   A mouse selection is copied to the clipboard when the button is released, like in a terminal; copy/cut confirm in the status bar.

### Fixed

-   Clipboard on Wayland: copies went to the X11 selection via XWayland and never reached the Wayland clipboard; arboard now uses the `wayland-data-control` backend.
-   Context-menu `cut` on a mouse selection did nothing (the copy step cleared the selection before the delete).
-   With emacs keys, a mouse selection left the editor in edtui’s Visual/Normal mode where no key did anything. The editor now stays in Insert; Backspace/Delete remove the selection, typing replaces it, any other key drops it.
-   Sidebar text no longer touches the separator line: one blank column is kept before it.

## [1.1.1](https://github.com/0x1ocean/tnotes/compare/v1.1.0...v1.1.1) - 2026-09-21

### Added

-   `CHANGELOG.md` and a `Release` workflow: pushing a `v*` tag builds, tests, creates the GitHub release with the changelog section, and publishes to crates.io.
-   README: `cargo install tnotes`, a “Use with AI agents” section, and an updated screenshot with `[[links]]` and backlinks.

## [1.1.0](https://github.com/0x1ocean/tnotes/compare/v1.0.0...v1.1.0) - 2026-09-21

### Added

-   Headless CLI: `tnotes ls | search | cat | new | trash`, all with `--json` and `--dir`. Notes are addressed by id (`root/sub/stem`), path, or a unique file stem. A running TUI picks up CLI changes live.
-   `[[wikilinks]]`: resolved by title (case-insensitive), then by file stem. Completion popup after `[[`; `alt+enter` / `ctrl+click` follows a link and creates a missing target next to the current note.
-   Backlinks overlay (`alt+enter` on a line without a link, `↩ N` in the status bar, editor context menu).
-   Renaming a note rewrites `[[old title]]` → `[[new title]]` in every other note, including open unsaved tabs.
-   `links` and `backlinks` fields in `--json` output.

### Changed

-   New notes are named after their title (`# Groceries` → `groceries.md`); the default template still yields `untitled.md`.
-   The vendored word-wrap fork of edtui is published as `edtui-tnotes`, so `cargo install tnotes` works.

## [1.0.0](https://github.com/0x1ocean/tnotes/releases/tag/v1.0.0) - 2026-09-20

Initial release: folders, `#tags`, tabs with a preview tab, live Markdown highlighting, emacs/vim keys, mouse-first UI, session restore, in-app settings, atomic saves with conflict copies, live reload.
