Key highlights

Kanban board overhaul by @adoriandoran

The board has been rebuilt to handle real projects. Give each column an icon, a color or a card limit, collapse the columns you're not working on, and archive them once they're done. New notes that don't belong to a column yet land in an optional Inbox column. Cards can be created from a template (e.g. a Bug template for a bug tracker), and Board properties controls which attributes the cards show and in what order. You can also switch the attribute the board is grouped by at any time, and each grouping keeps its own columns.

As a board grows, sort columns automatically by title, date or any attribute, and narrow the board with the filter box in the header, which accepts the full search syntax. Select several cards with <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Shift</kbd>+click to move, edit or delete them together. Use Copy reference to link to a card or column from any note. The whole board works from the keyboard (<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd> lists the shortcuts) and by touch on mobile, and a column with thousands of cards now stays smooth.

This concludes the phase two of the board collection, more features to come.

Significant improvements to search

1. Matching by @perfectra1n
2. Punctuation-aware exact matching: =sync finds (sync), sync,, "sync" (#10616)
3. Fuzzy tolerance now scales with term length (0/1/2 edits); a substring is no longer treated as a typo
4. ~* matches fragments again; fuzzy fallback extended to note body content
5. Link previews and reference-link target titles are indexed and searchable
6. Diacritics normalized for highlighting too, not just matching
7. Ranking: results ordered by match quality (exact phrase > proximity > word > prefix > substring > fuzzy), bounded so content never outranks a title match.
8. Results view by @perfectra1n
9. Google-style snippet cards with breadcrumb and matched-attribute badges (#5667, #6225)
10. Always-visible result count + synced 10/20/50/100 page-size option
11. Fuzzy matches highlighted distinctly (dotted orange) from exact ones; %= regex terms highlight correctly (#5332)
12. Jump to match by @perfectra1n: clicking a result opens the note at the first match with the find bar pre-filled; collapsed sections expand automatically (#3098, #10616). Jump to Note stays a title-only navigator (no misleading content snippet).
13. Improved the speed of the jump-to-note significantly by optimizing the search itself, but also by honoring the option to disable fuzzy search in autocompletion (which was disabled by default but not used at all).

Geomap now features a built-in location search, current position indicator and shapes

The geo map has a new search bar. As you type, it finds the markers, tracks and shapes already on your map. To search the rest of the world, pick the row that offers it and it asks Nominatim; nothing is sent while you're still typing. Results are sorted by distance and favor what's on screen, so a shop searched from your own town finds the one down the road. Towns and areas show their outline, and any result can be kept with Add as marker. You can also paste coordinates to jump straight to a spot.

You can also draw on the map now: paths, areas, rectangles and circles. Each shape is a note, so it takes the note's color and icon and opens in the same panel as a marker. Places shown on the map itself, like shops or beaches, can be clicked and added as markers too. On a phone or tablet, the new locate button shows where you are, so it's easy to see what's nearby.

Templates can now define a default parent for new notes

Add a ~template:newNoteDefaultParent relation to a template note, pointing it at the note where its instances should live (e.g. a Person template pointing at People). When you create a note from that template (via Choose note type, @\-completion, Create and link child note, or the attribute editor) and don't explicitly pick a location, the note lands under that default parent instead of your current note. Picking a path yourself always takes priority, and the tree's Insert child note / Insert note after remain unaffected.

And others...

• LLM: Added support for Google Antigravity, which can be used with a free plan as well.
• The application gains a proper loading screen instead of a plain white background until everything has loaded.
• OCR now properly supports image (scanned) and vector-based PDFs.

• Icons (just like the note icons) can now be inserted in text notes.
