### 🐞 Fixed - **Vault**: Fixed a bug where running two Chronicler instances simultaneously could cause the first instance to silently switch to the second instance's vault, potentially sending file operations to the wrong directory. - **Editor**: Fixed intermittent "Save failed" errors for users whose vaults are stored in a cloud-synced folder (Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.). These failures were caused by sync and antivirus agents briefly locking files during upload or scanning. The application will now automatically retry the save a few times before giving up. - **Editor**: The `<u>` HTML tag is now supported for underlining text in pages. - **Atmosphere**: Replaced the background texture in the Fantasy Atmosphere Pack with a seamless version. --- ## Installation & Notes - **💻 Windows**: Download the `.msi` file to install. - **🐧 Linux**: Download the `.AppImage` (for most distributions) or the `.deb` / `.rpm` file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below. - **🍎 macOS**: Download the `aarch64.dmg` (Apple Silicon) or `x64.dmg` (Intel) file. ### 📦 Flatpak (recommended on rolling distros) Adds Chronicler as a Flatpak remote so future updates flow through `flatpak update`

### ✨ Added - **Settings**: Added an "Add Font…" button to the Fonts section in Settings. You can now install custom fonts through a file picker instead of having to manually locate and drop files into the application's config directory. The font dropdown refreshes immediately after installing. - **Explorer**: The "Show Images" and "Show External Files" toggles are now saved per-vault. Previously these reset every time you reopened the vault. - **Logging**: Frontend errors and warnings are now written to the same log file as the rest of the application, making bug reports more complete and easier to diagnose. ### 🐞 Fixed - **Navigation**: Fixed the back and forward mouse buttons (buttons 4 and 5) not working for navigation on Linux. ### 🔄 Changed - **Explorer**: Toggleable settings in the explorer context menu now show a checkmark next to active options rather than flipping between "Show X" and "Hide X" labels, making it easier to see the current state at a glance. --- ## Installation & Notes - **💻 Windows**: Download the `.msi` file to install. - **🐧 Linux**: Download the `.AppImage` (for most distributions) or the `.deb` / `.rpm` file for your package manager. For Fl

### ✨ Added - **Explorer**: Added opt-in support for showing PDF and Excel files in the file tree. When enabled via the explorer context menu, clicking one of these files opens it in your system's default application. This is turned off by default so existing vaults are unaffected. ### 🐞 Fixed - **Watcher**: Fixed an issue where dragging or moving a file into your vault from outside it would not appear in the file tree. The file watcher now correctly detects these externally-moved files immediately. - **Donation Modal**: Fixed a bug where dismissing the donation prompt made it impossible to quit the application afterwards. - **Fonts**: Fixed an issue where custom fonts could appear in the Settings dropdown but silently fail to apply. The application now reads font names directly from the font file itself using a consistent cross-platform method, ensuring the name used to display the font always matches the name used to load it. ### 🚀 Performance - **Maps**: Large map images are now pre-sliced into tiles behind the scenes, dramatically reducing lag and memory usage when working with high-resolution maps. A progress bar is shown while tiles are being prepared, and the map fal

### 🐞 Fixed - **Reports**: Fixed a false positive in the Broken Images report where external URLs (web links, data URIs, local file paths) were incorrectly flagged as broken. These references point to resources outside your vault, so they are now skipped during validation. - **macOS**: Fixed a compatibility issue on macOS Big Sur where the "Add" button in Infobox and Map editor modals would appear to do nothing. Also fixed the move arrows in Infobox tabs throwing an error on click. Both issues were caused by browser APIs unavailable in the older system WebView on that OS. - **Infobox**: Fixed a bug where opening a file saved with Windows-style line endings (CRLF) in the Infobox editor would cause all frontmatter to be wiped on save, replacing it with a blank infobox. - **Maps**: Fixed a regression where clicking on overlapping map regions no longer showed the disambiguation menu to let you choose which region you intended to select. --- ## Installation & Notes - **💻 Windows**: Download the `.msi` file to install. - **🐧 Linux**: Download the `.AppImage` (for most distributions) or the `.deb` / `.rpm` file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below. - **🍎 macOS**: Down

### 🐞 Fixed - **Editor**: Fixed an issue with wikilink auto-complete sorting. The dropdown now properly ranks exact matches and prefix matches over fuzzy suggestions. ### 🚀 Performance - **Maps**: Fixed a major performance issue where opening very large map configs would cause the application to hang. The map configuration logic now bypasses unnecessary "deep" processing, keeping interaction immediate and fluid. - **Indexer**: Scoped file-system index refreshes so that some bulk external operations (such as asset exports in your vault folder) no longer cause user interface lag. The system now intelligently targets and refetches only the data categories that actually changed. --- ## Installation & Notes - **💻 Windows**: Download the `.msi` file to install. - **🐧 Linux**: Download the `.AppImage` (for most distributions) or the `.deb` / `.rpm` file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below. - **🍎 macOS**: Download the `aarch64.dmg` (Apple Silicon) or `x64.dmg` (Intel) file. ### 📦 Flatpak (recommended on rolling distros) Adds Chronicler as a Flatpak remote so future updates flow through `flatpak update`: ```sh flatpak install --user --from https://flatpak.chronicl

### ✨ Added - **Maps**: Added settings toggles to independently enable or disable page link and map hover previews for each vault. - **Maps**: Added support for placeholder targets on map elements. You can now link pins and regions to pages or maps that haven't been created yet, and the links will automatically resolve once those targets exist. ### 🐞 Fixed - **Maps**: Fixed a visual issue where hovering over map elements could cause page and map previews to overlap. They are now smartly positioned side-by-side on opposing sides of your cursor. - **UI**: Increased the layer ordering (`z-index`) for all modals to guarantee they stay layered correctly above all other background interface elements. ### 🔄 Changed - **UI**: Improved the text auto-complete dropdowns so that pressing `Shift+Enter` consistently closes the menu and submits your raw typed text, accompanied by a new helpful hint at the bottom of the list. --- ## Installation & Notes - **💻 Windows**: Download the `.msi` file to install. - **🐧 Linux**: Download the `.AppImage` (for most distributions) or the `.deb` / `.rpm` file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below. - **🍎 macOS**: Download the `aarch64.

### 🐞 Fixed - **Linux**: Fixed an issue with Flatpak builds where the in-app Changelog and Help modals failed to load due to missing resource files. - **Linux**: Fixed a permission error on Flatpak installations that prevented the application from moving deleted notes to the system trash. - **Sidebar**: Extended the "minimum width" calculation to include the footer action row, preventing buttons like "+ Map" from overflowing. Also replaced the text labels with icons. --- ## Installation & Notes - **💻 Windows**: Download the `.msi` file to install. - **🐧 Linux**: Download the `.AppImage` (for most distributions) or the `.deb` / `.rpm` file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below. - **🍎 macOS**: Download the `aarch64.dmg` (Apple Silicon) or `x64.dmg` (Intel) file. ### 📦 Flatpak (recommended on rolling distros) Adds Chronicler as a Flatpak remote so future updates flow through `flatpak update`: ```sh flatpak install --user --from https://flatpak.chronicler.pro/chronicler.flatpakref ``` Or one-shot install the bundle from this release: ```sh flatpak install --user Chronicler.flatpak ``` --- ### ⚠️ A Note for Windows Users When you first run the installer, Microsoft

### 🐞 Fixed - **Maps**: Fixed a bug where deleting the map currently being viewed would cause the application to remain in Map View displaying displaying stale content; it now correctly returns you to the Welcome view. ### 🚀 Performance - **Maps**: Optimized map pins and regions by implementing a high-speed spatial lookup for faster region hit-testing, a "fingerprinting" system that only updates elements that have actually changed, and an icon caching system to prevent unnecessary re-rendering of markers. ### 🔄 Changed - **Documentation**: Updated the Help documentation to include the correct settings directory paths for Flatpak users. - **Telemetry**: Reduce website network traffic by only sending a single anonymous ping once per install rather than on every application startup. --- ## Installation & Notes - **💻 Windows**: Download the `.msi` file to install. - **🐧 Linux**: Download the `.AppImage` (for most distributions) or the `.deb` / `.rpm` file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below. - **🍎 macOS**: Download the `aarch64.dmg` (Apple Silicon) or `x64.dmg` (Intel) file. ### 📦 Flatpak (recommended on rolling distros) Adds Chronicler as a Flatpak remote
