<p>A warrant canary is a regularly updated statement confirming that, as of the stated date, the project has not received secret legal orders, gag orders, or demands requiring the introduction of backdoors into the software or its infrastructure.</p>
<p>The canary is:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Cryptographically signed using a dedicated OpenPGP key</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Updated every 60 days</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Published in plain text for independent verification</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If the canary is not updated within its stated validity window, it should be considered expired.</p>
<p>You can view and verify the current canary here:</p>
<p><a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/refs/heads/dev/readme/canary.txt">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/refs/heads/dev/readme/canary.txt</a></p>
<p>With additional information on how it is generated and managed there:</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/canary.md">https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/canary.md</a></p>
<p>This measure is intended to improve transparency and provide an additional signal to the community. It does not prevent legal orders, but it helps ensure that any material change in our legal status cannot occur silently.</p>

<h3>More stable and consistent Markdown editing<a name="more-stable-and-consistent-markdown-editing" href="#more-stable-and-consistent-markdown-editing" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The Markdown editor has been refined to feel more stable and closer to the final rendered view. Headings in the editor now more closely match how they appear when viewing a note, reducing the visual jump between editing and reading. Layout issues have also been addressed so elements like rendered checkboxes and images no longer cause the editor to shift unexpectedly while typing.</p>
<p>The ABC music notation plugin appeared to be popular but had some limitations. With this new version, ABC is now part of the app, which means it can now work from published notes, and from the Rich Text editor!</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20260111-abc.png" alt="ABC music notation rendered directly in Joplin, showing a short musical phrase displayed from plain-text ABC syntax"></p>
<h3>Smoother switching between notes<a name="smoother-switching-between-notes" href="#smoother-switching-between-notes" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Switching between notes is now less disruptive. Joplin restores cursor position and scroll location more reliably, making it easier to move back and forth between notes—especially when working with longer documents or comparing content—without losing your place.</p>
<h3>Case insensitive tags<a name="case-insensitive-tags" href="#case-insensitive-tags" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Tags are now treated in a case-insensitive way, which helps prevent duplicate tags caused by differences in capitalisation, while still allowing mixed-case tag names. All this time we were hoping that @dpoulton <a href="https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/tags-lower-case-only/4220/106">would just get used to lowercase tags</a>, but 5 years later it looks like it's not happening ;) So thank you @mrjo118 for implementing it!</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20260111-lowercase-tags.png" alt="Joplin tag list demonstrating case-insensitive tags, with mixed-case tag names merged into a single tag."></p>
<h3>More reliable syncing and sharing<a name="more-reliable-syncing-and-sharing" href="#more-reliable-syncing-and-sharing" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Syncing and sharing have been made more robust in everyday use. Joplin now handles repeated syncs more efficiently, avoids unnecessary data usage, and is better at detecting and syncing all changes, particularly when using WebDAV and S3 sync targets.</p>
<p>Moreover filesystem synchronisation is now more reliable, in particular when used alongside tools like SyncThing on both mobile and desktop.</p>
<h3>Accessibility and readability improvements<a name="accessibility-and-readability-improvements" href="#accessibility-and-readability-improvements" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Accessibility has seen further refinements in this release. Dark mode readability has been improved, common editor elements are clearer, and animations are reduced or disabled when system “reduce motion” settings are enabled, making the app more comfortable to use for a wider range of users. Keyboard navigation has also been improved on the desktop application.</p>
<h2>Desktop-specific improvements<a name="desktop-specific-improvements" href="#desktop-specific-improvements" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<h3>Easier profile management<a name="easier-profile-management" href="#easier-profile-management" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Managing multiple profiles on desktop is now simpler thanks to a new, more user-friendly profile management interface. This removes the need to manually edit configuration files and makes switching between different setups easier and safer.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20260111-profiles.png" alt="Desktop profile management screen in Joplin showing multiple profiles with options to rename or delete them."></p>
<h3>Significantly improved OneNote import<a name="significantly-improved-onenote-import" href="#significantly-improved-onenote-import" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Importing content from OneNote is now more reliable and accurate. Support has been expanded to cover more OneNote file formats, and many edge cases have been addressed so imported notes more closely match their original structure and content. This makes migrating from OneNote to Joplin smoother and more trustworthy.</p>
<h3>Better tools for organising large note collections<a name="better-tools-for-organising-large-note-collections" href="#better-tools-for-organising-large-note-collections" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Desktop users can now select multiple notebooks at once, making it easier to reorganise notebook structures, move groups of notes, or clean up larger collections without working notebook by notebook.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20260111-multi-select.png" alt="Joplin desktop sidebar with several notebooks selected at the same time for bulk organisation."></p>
<h3>Polished editing experience on desktop<a name="polished-editing-experience-on-desktop" href="#polished-editing-experience-on-desktop" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Both the Markdown and Rich Text editors have been further refined. Cursor behaviour is more predictable, visual consistency between editing and viewing has improved, and several layout and rendering issues have been fixed to reduce interruptions while writing.</p>
<h3>More reliable search and navigation<a name="more-reliable-search-and-navigation" href="#more-reliable-search-and-navigation" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Search and navigation on desktop have been improved with fixes that ensure search results behave consistently and remain visible when moving between windows or views.</p>
<h3>Improved math support in WebClipper<a name="improved-math-support-in-webclipper" href="#improved-math-support-in-webclipper" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The WebClipper is not forgotten in this release - clipping certain math formulas, in particular from Wikipedia but also other websites, has been improved. Additionally, certain scientific articles are now also better handled by the WebClipper.</p>
<h2>Mobile-specific improvements<a name="mobile-specific-improvements" href="#mobile-specific-improvements" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<h3>A more powerful Rich Text Editor on mobile<a name="a-more-powerful-rich-text-editor-on-mobile" href="#a-more-powerful-rich-text-editor-on-mobile" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The mobile Rich Text Editor continues to improve, with new and expanded support for tables, code blocks, and other structured content. These changes make it easier to create and edit more complex notes directly on mobile devices.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20260111-rte1.png" alt="Joplin mobile Rich Text Editor showing table editing controls and an embedded code block inside a note."></p>

<h3>Easier tag management on mobile<a name="easier-tag-management-on-mobile" href="#easier-tag-management-on-mobile" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Managing tags on mobile is now more practical. You can rename and delete tags directly from the app, and searching through tags is easier, helping keep large tag lists organised over time.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20260111-mobile-tags.png" alt="Joplin mobile tag management screen showing a tag options menu with rename and delete actions."></p>
<h3>Improved stability and usability on mobile devices<a name="improved-stability-and-usability-on-mobile-devices" href="#improved-stability-and-usability-on-mobile-devices" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Several fixes improve overall stability and usability on mobile, particularly on smaller screens. Issues causing UI elements to appear off-screen have been addressed, and the app behaves more consistently in situations that previously caused hangs or visual glitches.</p>
<h2>Bug fixes and security fixes across platforms<a name="bug-fixes-and-security-fixes-across-platforms" href="#bug-fixes-and-security-fixes-across-platforms" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<h3>A large number of stability, correctness and security fixes<a name="a-large-number-of-stability-correctness-and-security-fixes" href="#a-large-number-of-stability-correctness-and-security-fixes" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Joplin 3.5 includes about 114 bug fixes across desktop and mobile, addressing issues in editing, syncing, importing, rendering, and general stability. Many fixes target edge cases that could lead to crashes, inconsistent behaviour, or rare data loss scenarios. Moreover, this version includes several vulnerability fixes to make the applications more secure.</p>

<h2>Mobile<a name="mobile" href="#mobile" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<h3>Rich Text Editor<a name="rich-text-editor" href="#rich-text-editor" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The mobile app now includes a beta <a href="https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/rich_text_editor">Rich Text Editor</a>! The new editor renders formatting/math/images within the editor:</p>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250922-mobile-rte.png" width="400" alt="screenshot: Mobile Rich Text Editor editing the welcome notes. Images, headings, etc are rendering."/>
<p>To try it, 1) open a note in the default Markdown editor 2) open the note actions menu (the three vertical dots) for the note and 3) click “Edit as Rich Text”.</p>
<p>Be aware that this editor is still in active development and <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/12840">has a number of known limitations and issues</a>. The Rich Text editor is based on <a href="https://prosemirror.net/">ProseMirror</a> and will behave differently from the desktop Rich Text Editor in many cases.</p>
<h3>Support for publishing notes with Joplin Cloud and Server<a name="support-for-publishing-notes-with-joplin-cloud-and-server" href="#support-for-publishing-notes-with-joplin-cloud-and-server" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>It's now possible to <a href="https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/publish_note">publish notes</a> from the mobile app! To do so, open the “Properties” menu for a note, then click “Publish/unpublish”:</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250922-publish-notes.png" alt="screenshot: A Publish/unpublish note action is shown in the &quot;Note properties&quot; sidebar, just below a &quot;Previous versions&quot; button"></p>
<p>Next, in the “publish note” dialog, click “Copy shareable link”. Notes can later be unpublished by clicking &quot;Unpublish&quot; in the publication dialog.</p>
<h3>Viewing note history<a name="viewing-note-history" href="#viewing-note-history" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>It is now possible to view and restore previous note versions from the mobile app. Like the &quot;publish note&quot; feature, previous note versions can be accessed from the note properties menu.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250922-note-history.png" alt="screenshot: The note history page"></p>
<p>As on desktop, the note history feature can be configured from the “Note History” tab in settings.</p>
<h3>Updated tag dialog<a name="updated-tag-dialog" href="#updated-tag-dialog" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The tag dialog has been redesigned, with a new UI for adding, removing, and creating new tags:<br>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250922-tag-editor.png" width="500" alt="screenshot: Tag dialog now consists of three sections: Added tags, Add new tags, Actions."/></p>
<h3>Android: Improved voice typing<a name="android-improved-voice-typing" href="#android-improved-voice-typing" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The voice typing feature on Android has been updated with <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/pull/12404">improved silence detection</a> and a new “<a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/pull/12370">custom glossary</a>” setting. Voice typing also now <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/pull/12352">defaults to a more accurate (but somewhat slower) model</a>.</p>
<h3>Quickly creating a note from multiple photos<a name="quickly-creating-a-note-from-multiple-photos" href="#quickly-creating-a-note-from-multiple-photos" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>A “scan notebook” action has been added to the “New note” menu:</p>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250922-scan-notebook.png" width="500"/>
<p>This action allows quickly creating a new note with multiple pictures taken from the camera.</p>
<h2>Desktop<a name="desktop" href="#desktop" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<h3>More Markdown Editor settings<a name="more-markdown-editor-settings" href="#more-markdown-editor-settings" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The &quot;Note&quot; tab in settings now includes new settings for the Markdown editor, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>An option to render headers, lists, and certain other formatting within the editor.</li>
<li>An option to render images in the editor.</li>
</ul>
<p>When enabled, these settings bring the Markdown editor closer to the Rich Text Editor, without <a href="https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/rich_text_editor">some of the Rich Text Editor's limitations</a>.</p>
<p>These settings are also available on mobile.</p>
<h3>Smaller application size and faster startup<a name="smaller-application-size-and-faster-startup" href="#smaller-application-size-and-faster-startup" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>We've made the desktop application roughly 33% smaller! In addition to faster application startup, this means that the desktop app should be faster to download take up less space.</p>

<h3>Accessibility improvements<a name="accessibility-improvements" href="#accessibility-improvements" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The Joplin 3.3 release introduces significant accessibility enhancements designed to make the application more inclusive and user-friendly. Users can now benefit from improved keyboard navigation, thanks to newly added shortcuts and clearer labels that streamline interaction across the interface. We've also added a &quot;go to viewer&quot; menu item that moves focus from the note editor to the note viewer. Focus is moved to the location in the viewer corresponding to the location of the cursor in the editor.</p>
<p>Screen reader support has been bolstered, ensuring elements like the note list and sidebar are easier to toggle and interact with. These updates make the application more usable for individuals relying on assistive technologies.</p>
<p>Additionally, visual improvements, including increased contrast for UI components such as URLs, sidebars, and scrollbars, enhance readability for users with visual impairments. This focus on clarity ensures a more comfortable user experience.</p>
<p>The Rich Text Editor has also received accessibility-focused updates, allowing for more seamless interaction with code blocks using either a keyboard or touchscreen. These refinements highlight Joplin's dedication to creating an accessible and equitable experience for all users.</p>
<h3>Button to collapse and expand all notebooks<a name="button-to-collapse-and-expand-all-notebooks" href="#button-to-collapse-and-expand-all-notebooks" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Joplin 3.3 introduces a convenient &quot;Collapse/Expand All&quot; button for notebooks, allowing you to quickly adjust the visibility of your notebook hierarchy. This feature simplifies navigation by letting you expand all notebooks to locate specific notes or collapse them for a tidier interface!</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250428-collapse-all.png" alt=""></p>
<h3>New dialog to select a note and link to it<a name="new-dialog-to-select-a-note-and-link-to-it" href="#new-dialog-to-select-a-note-and-link-to-it" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>A new dialog has been added to make linking to notes easier. By pressing Shift+Option+L on macOS or Shift+Alt+L on Windows and Linux, you can quickly bring up a search box. Simply type the name of the note you want to link to, and the link will be added to your current note!</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250428-link-notes.png" alt=""></p>
<h3>Support for multiple instances of Joplin<a name="support-for-multiple-instances-of-joplin" href="#support-for-multiple-instances-of-joplin" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Joplin Desktop now <a href="https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/multiple_instances">lets you run multiple instances at once</a>! This means you can easily separate your work and personal notes, or use Joplin across different virtual desktops. Each instance runs independently with its own settings, plugins, and notes, so nothing overlaps. You can open a second instance through in menu <strong>File =&gt; Open secondary app instance...</strong>, and customise it however you like!</p>
<h3>Improved Rich Text editor<a name="improved-rich-text-editor" href="#improved-rich-text-editor" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>This version includes multiple improvements and bug fixes to the Rich Text Editor. In particular it has now been upgraded to TinyMCE v6, and it adds support for Markdown auto-replacement. For example, typing <code>==highlight==</code> creates highlighted text. Auto-replacement can be disabled in settings.</p>
<h2>Mobile application<a name="mobile-application" href="#mobile-application" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<h3>Accessibility improvements<a name="accessibility-improvements-1" href="#accessibility-improvements-1" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Like the desktop app, the mobile app includes several accessibility improvements designed to enhance the user experience for those relying on assistive technologies. Focus handling has been improved in the note actions menu and modal dialogs, ensuring smoother navigation for screen reader users. Additionally, the default modal close button is now accessible, and issues with invisible buttons being focusable have been resolved.</p>
<p>Other updates include better contrast for faded URLs in the Markdown editor, making them more readable for users with visual impairments. The encryption configuration screen has been improved for better accessibility, and screen reader support has been added for creating and editing profiles. These changes collectively improve navigation, readability, and usability for all users.</p>
<h3>Support attaching audio recordings<a name="support-attaching-audio-recordings" href="#support-attaching-audio-recordings" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>You can now easily capture and include audio recordings directly within your notes. To use this feature, open the kebab menu and select &quot;Record audio.&quot; You can then to record your audio input. When finished, the app automatically attaches the recorded audio file to the note. This functionality is perfect for capturing ideas, reminders, or supplementary audio information in a quick and intuitive way.</p>
<h3>Improved voice typing feature<a name="improved-voice-typing-feature" href="#improved-voice-typing-feature" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The voice typing feature in Android has undergone a significant improvement, making it more accurate. Previously introduced in version 2.11, the feature allowed you to transcribe speech into text but lacked punctuation and struggled with accuracy in certain scenarios. The revamped version now leverages Whisper, an advanced AI model, to deliver improved recognition, including automatic punctuation and paragraph formatting.</p>
<p>Despite its advancements, the feature is currently in beta due to the demanding nature of the required AI models. While it defaults to a smaller, less accurate model to accommodate older devices, you can <a href="https://github.com/joplin/voice-typing-models/releases">manually download and switch to more accurate models</a> for better performance.</p>
<p>As previously, the feature remains entirely offline, ensuring that private recordings are never sent to third-party servers, a distinct privacy advantage over similar solutions from Google or Apple. Additionally it means you can use the feature even when you don't have an internet connection. We plan to refine this feature further, eventually defaulting to the more accurate model as stability improves.</p>
<h3>Improved new note menu<a name="improved-new-note-menu" href="#improved-new-note-menu" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The redesigned &quot;New Note&quot; menu takes note creation to a whole new level of flexibility and convenience. Previously, this menu only offered options to create a new note or a new to-do. With the latest update, you now have quick access to a variety of shortcuts, enabling you to attach files, record audio, capture photo notes, or even create drawings directly from the menu. This intuitive redesign makes it easier to choose the format that best suits your needs.</p>

<p>Joplin now supports importing OneNote archives, a significant step for users transitioning from OneNote. Microsoft has long made it challenging to leave OneNote, offering limited export options and complex formats that make it difficult for app developers to support it. Despite these hurdles, @pedr tackled these issues head-on, developing an import tool that simplifies the process. This addition makes Joplin a practical choice for those looking to move away from OneNote's ecosystem.</p>
<p>To use this feature, select <strong>File</strong> =&gt; <strong>Import</strong> =&gt; <strong>ZIP - OneNote Notebook</strong></p>
<h2>Multi-window support<a name="multi-window-support" href="#multi-window-support" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>We're excited to introduce Multi-Window Support, a highly requested feature that makes managing multiple notes easier than ever. With this update, you can open notes in different windows and each window operates independently, allowing you to compare notes, reference content, and organise projects with greater flexibility.</p>
<p>To use this feature, right-click on a note, select <strong>Open in...</strong> and select <strong>Edit in new window</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250114-multi-window.png" alt=""></p>
<h2>Customisable toolbar on mobile<a name="customisable-toolbar-on-mobile" href="#customisable-toolbar-on-mobile" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>The new customisable toolbar on mobile is now draggable, making it easier to access the buttons you need. You can also choose which buttons to display by tapping the Cog button, allowing for a more personalised and efficient note-editing experience!</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20250114-mobile-toolbar.png" alt=""></p>
<h2>Enhanced Accessibility<a name="enhanced-accessibility" href="#enhanced-accessibility" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>In order to implement the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/">WCAG 2.0 guidelines</a>, accessibility has seen a substantial upgrade thanks to the efforts of @personalizedrefrigerator. The desktop and mobile apps now offer better keyboard navigation, including improved functionality in dropdown menus and settings. Focus indicators have been made more visible, while ARIA labels have been added to boost compatibility with screen readers. Specific areas like note attachments, sidebars, and dialogs have also been optimised to ensure accessibility for all users.</p>
<h2>Refined Drawing and Markdown Editing<a name="refined-drawing-and-markdown-editing" href="#refined-drawing-and-markdown-editing" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>Joplin's drawing and editing features have been fine-tuned for a smoother experience. Freehand Drawing on mobile and desktop has been updated to version 2.14.0, addressing several usability issues and bugs. Additionally, the Freehand Drawing plugin is now part of the desktop app by default. These changes enhance the reliability and integration of the drawing tool.</p>
<h2>Faster and more secure encryption<a name="faster-and-more-secure-encryption" href="#faster-and-more-secure-encryption" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>For GSoC 2024, @wh201906 worked on optimising the encryption and decryption processes, boosting speed for mobile devices in particular (but desktop too). Additionally, the encryption security was improved by transitioning to a more robust 256-bit key.</p>
<p>As of now this feature is optional and can be enabled by going to the <strong>Configuration Screen</strong>, then <strong>Synchronisation</strong> =&gt; <strong>Advanced options</strong> =&gt; <strong>Use beta encryption</strong>.</p>
<h2>Expanded Plugin Support<a name="expanded-plugin-support" href="#expanded-plugin-support" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>Developers will appreciate the updates to Joplin's plugin ecosystem. A new API has been introduced to create <a href="https://joplinapp.org/api/references/plugin_api/classes/joplinviewsdialogs.html#showtoast">toast notifications</a>, alongside updates to CodeMirror packages. A new <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/5ee8a9a45493683c72a36b52e1460b5acdd4f1ac/packages/lib/commands/renderMarkup.ts#L23"><code>renderMarkup</code></a> command has been introduced to allow you to render Markdown content to HTML using the Joplin built-in API.</p>

We will work on accessibility, voice typing, HTR and add Rocketbook integration. Today we'll present the planned HTR integration:</p>
<p>Currently, Joplin’s OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature is designed to recognise printed text, which works great for scanning documents with standard fonts. However, we’re looking to expand this functionality to support handwritten text recognition (HTR), which would be beneficial to handle scanned, handwritten documents, as well as for the upcoming Rocketbook integration.</p>
<p>Handwritten text recognition is complex task, requiring significant processing power and large machine learning models. Because of this, we plan to implement HTR via a server, possibly integrated with Joplin Cloud or Joplin Server. The beauty of this approach is that handwritten text recognition is a rapidly evolving field, so we can continuously improve the server-side model. This means that every Joplin app can benefit from these updates without needing to redeploy or update the app itself.</p>
<p>For the Rocketbook integration, this integration will make a significant difference. Right now, your handwritten documents would be scanned as images, but with HTR, Joplin will be able to recognise the actual text you’ve written. Not only will your handwritten notes become searchable, but you’ll also be able to copy and paste the text into other documents.</p>

We will work on accessibility, voice typing, HTR and add Rocketbook integration. Today we'll present the planned Rocketbook integration:</p>
<p><a href="https://getrocketbook.com/pages/how-rocketbook-works">Rocketbook</a> is a popular brand of smart notebooks designed to make note-taking more efficient and sustainable. These notebooks feature special erasable pages that you can write on with specific pens and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. What makes Rocketbook even more appealing is its ability to scan and upload your notes to cloud services for easy storage and sharing.</p>
<p>We plan to create an integration between Rocketbook and Joplin, designed to make the note-taking process even smoother. While Rocketbook typically works through its own official app, we plan to integrate it directly into Joplin without relying on third-party apps or APIs. This means that you can enjoy the benefits of Rocketbook’s smart features while using Joplin as your primary note-taking platform.</p>
<p>The great thing about this integration is that it’s not limited to just Rocketbook. As long as the smart notebook uses QR codes to identify pages, the same functionality will work. This means you can use Joplin with a wide variety of smart notebooks, making it a versatile tool for all your note-taking needs.</p>
<p>With this integration, we’re making it easier than ever to combine the power of smart notebooks with the flexibility of Joplin’s open-source platform. Whether you're using Rocketbook or another smart notebook, Joplin will be ready to help you organise and access your notes in the cloud!</p>

These guidelines help ensure that our app is usable for all users, including those with disabilities, while also enhancing the overall user experience for everyone.</p>
<p>To get started with WCAG 2 support, we’ll run an accessibility audit with a tool such as <a href="https://wave.webaim.org">Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools</a> (WAVE). This will help us spot any accessibility issues in the app that we need to address.</p>
<p>Once the audit is complete, we'll take action on the issues we find. Here's a look at some of the things we'll focus on:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Making content easier to perceive</strong>: We’ll make sure there are text alternatives for non-text content, provide captions for multimedia, and check that colour contrast is strong enough for easy reading.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Improving operability</strong>: Every feature will be accessible through the keyboard, ensuring that users who can't rely on a mouse can still navigate easily.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Enhancing comprehension</strong>: We’ll ensure that the text is readable, the layout is predictable, and input assistance is available for those who need it.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>We’ll also use ARIA standards and test for compatibility with assistive technologies to make sure everything works well with tools like screen readers.</p>
<p>To ensure we're on the right track, we’ll invite users with disabilities to test the app and help us identify any remaining barriers. Accessibility is something we’ll keep working on, so we'll continue testing, refining, and making improvements to ensure Joplin stays accessible to everyone. It’s a journey, and we’re committed to making the experience better for all our users.</p>

We will work on accessibility, voice typing, HTR and add Rocketbook integration. Today we'll present the planned improvements to voice typing:</p>
<p>Right now, voice input works pretty well, but there’s one thing that still needs improvement: punctuation. Our current system is accurate, but it doesn’t pick up on things like commas or periods, which can make spoken text harder to understand. That’s why we’re looking into other voice recognition engines that can handle punctuation better while keeping the accuracy we need.</p>
<p>Improving voice input like this isn’t just about convenience – it’s about making our app more accessible to everyone. For people with visual impairments, being able to use voice input means they don’t have to rely on typing. Those with motor difficulties can control the app without needing to use their hands. And for users with dyslexia or other learning challenges, voice input can be much easier and more natural than typing out words.</p>
<p>We’re excited to experiment with this new feature, knowing it could make a real difference for people who rely on voice technology to get things done.</p>

<h3>Trash folder<a name="trash-folder" href="#trash-folder" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Joplin now support a trash folder - any deleted notes or notebooks will be moved to that folder. You can also choose to have these notes permanently deleted after a number of days.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20240701-trash.png" alt=""></p>
<p>Support for the trash folder has a somewhat long history in Joplin since it's an obvious and important feature to add, yet it can be particularly tricky once you start realising how many parts of the app it's going to impact.</p>
<p>Many attempts have been made over time: my first attempt was based on the note history feature. Indeed since this feature already saves versions of notes, it seems to make sense to use it for the trash feature, and indeed the note history feature <a href="https://joplinapp.org/news/20190523-221026">was designed for this originally</a>. However that approach turned to be needlessly complicated and after modifying hundreds of files just for this, the idea was dropped.</p>
<p>The next one was based on using a <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/483">special &quot;trash&quot; tag</a> - deleted notes would have this tag attached to them and would appear in a special &quot;trash&quot; folder. This approach also had <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/483">many issues</a> probably the main one being that notebooks can't be tagged, which means we would have to add support for tagged notebooks and that in itself would also be a massive change.</p>
<p><a href="https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/trashcan/3998/16">Various</a>, <a href="https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/poll-trash-bin-plugin/19951">ideas,</a> were also attempted using plugins, by creating a special &quot;trash folder&quot;, but in the end no such plugin was ever created, probably due to limitations of the plugin API.</p>
<p>In the end, turned out that this <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/483#issuecomment-585655742">old idea</a> of adding a &quot;deleted&quot; property to each note and notebook was the easiest approach. With this it was simpler to get to a working solution relatively quickly, and then it was a matter of ensuring that deleted notes don't appear where they shouldn't, such as search results, etc.</p>
<h3>Joplin Cloud multi-factor authentication<a name="joplin-cloud-multi-factor-authentication" href="#joplin-cloud-multi-factor-authentication" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Multi-factor authentication (MFA), also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires you to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a system or account. It typically includes something you know (password), something you have (security token), and something you are (biometric verification).</p>
<p>To better secure your account, Joplin Cloud and all Joplin applications now support MFA. To enable it, go to your Joplin Cloud profile, click on &quot;Enable multi-factor authentication&quot; and follow the instructions. Please note that all your applications will then be disconnected, so you will need to login again (your data of course will remain on the app so you won't have to download it again).</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20240701-mfa.png" alt=""></p>
<h3>Note list with multiple columns<a name="note-list-with-multiple-columns" href="#note-list-with-multiple-columns" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>In this release we add support for multiple columns in the note list. You can display various properties of the notes, as well as sort the notes by these properties. As usual this feature can be controlled and customised by plugins so for example it should be possible to display custom columns, and display custom information including thumbnails.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20240701-note-list-multi.png" alt=""></p>
<h3>Plugin API enhancement<a name="plugin-api-enhancement" href="#plugin-api-enhancement" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The plugin API has received several updates to facilitate easy customisation of the app As mentioned above, it is now possible to customise the new note list. Besides this, we've added support for loading PDFs and creating images from them, which can for example be used to create thumbnails.</p>
<p>Many other small enhancements have been made to the plugin API to help you tailor the app to your needs!</p>
<h3>View OCR data<a name="view-ocr-data" href="#view-ocr-data" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Now when you right-click on an image or PDF you have an option to view the OCR (Optical character recognition) data associated with it. That will allow you for example to easily copy and paste the text.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20240701-ocr-data.png" alt=""></p>
<h2>Plugin support on mobile<a name="plugin-support-on-mobile" href="#plugin-support-on-mobile" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>As always, most of the above changes also apply to mobile (iOS and Android), for example the trash folder and MFA support.</p>
<p>Additionally the mobile application now adds support for plugins. To enable the feature, go to the settings then to the &quot;Plugins&quot; section. The feature is currently in Beta, in particular it means that some plugins do not work or only partially work. Normally the app should not offer you to install a non-working plugin but that may still happen. In general if you notice any issue with this beta feature please let me us know as we're keen to improve it.</p>
<p>Support for cross-platform plugins in Joplin is great news as it means a lot of new features become available on mobile. As of now, we have checked the following plugins and can confirm that they work on mobile:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/com.whatever.quick-links/">Quick Links</a></li>
<li><a href="https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/com.whatever.inline-tags/">Inline Tags</a></li>
<li><a href="https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/io.github.personalizedrefrigerator.codemirror6-settings/">CodeMirror 6 settings</a></li>

<li><a href="https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/joplin.plugin.alondmnt.tag-navigator/">Inline Tag Navigator</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Those are just some examples - many more are working!</p>

<p>Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Joplin enables the transformation of text-containing images into machine-readable text formats. From this version you can enable OCR in the Configuration screen under the &quot;General&quot; section. Once activated, Joplin scans images and PDFs, extracting text data for searchability.</p>
<p>While OCR search is available on both desktop and mobile apps, document scanning is limited to the desktop due to resource demands. For more information head to the <a href="https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/ocr">OCR official documentation</a>!</p>
<h2>Bundled plugins<a name="bundled-plugins" href="#bundled-plugins" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>Joplin will now bundle high quality plugins that we feel will benefit most users. With this version we include the great <a href="https://github.com/JackGruber/joplin-plugin-backup">Backup plugin</a> by JackGruber. This will provide another layer of safety when using Joplin as by default it will automatically backup your notes in a &quot;JoplinBackup&quot; folder in your home directory.</p>
<p>Note that, just like any other plugin, you can change the plugin configuration or even disable it from the settings.</p>
<h2>ENEX importer<a name="enex-importer" href="#enex-importer" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>As usual in recent version, there are plenty of improvements to the <a href="https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/import_export#importing-from-evernote">Joplin ENEX importer</a>. Besides the various fixes and enhancement to support this format, we've added a few useful features:</p>
<h3>Restore note links after importing an ENEX file<a name="restore-note-links-after-importing-an-enex-file" href="#restore-note-links-after-importing-an-enex-file" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Evernote Export files do not include the necessary information to reliably restore the links between notes, so for a long time this feature was not supported by the importer.</p>
<p>Now however Joplin will try to guess what note is linked to what other note based on the note title, which in many cases will give the expected result. But not always - when that happens, and Joplin cannot detect the link target, the application leaves the original Evernote link. That way you can manually restore it yourself or at least find back what the note was linked to.</p>
<h3>Import a directory of ENEX files<a name="import-a-directory-of-enex-files" href="#import-a-directory-of-enex-files" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>It is notoriously difficult to export data from Evernote because, among other issues, you can only export one notebook at a time, which is an obvious problems when you have dozens of notebooks. Unfortunately we cannot improve this part of the process since this up to Evernote, however we now make it easier to import all these notebook files by adding support for importing a folder of ENEX files. To use this feature, go to File &gt; Import, and select one of the &quot;ENEX (Directory)&quot; options.</p>
<p>This will process all the ENEX files in that directory and create a notebook in Joplin for each of them.</p>
<h2>Beta Markdown editor<a name="beta-markdown-editor" href="#beta-markdown-editor" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>This version features further improvements to the new Markdown editor based on <a href="https://codemirror.net/">CodeMirror 6</a>. The goal eventually is to be able to use the same editor on both the desktop and mobile application (which already uses CodeMirror 6), which will allow a more consistent user experience across devices.</p>
<p>Plugin support has also been improved in this version - plugin authors can now write native CodeMirror 6 extensions using the plugin API. For more information check the documentation on <a href="https://joplinapp.org/help/api/tutorials/cm6_plugin/">how to create a Markdown plugin</a>!</p>
<p>Another benefit of this new editor is that, in a future version, it will allow us to support plugins on the mobile application since a plugin written for the desktop app will work on mobile too. There are several other advantages that Henry <a href="https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/pre-release-v2-13-is-now-available-updated-18-11-2023/32697/12?u=laurent">listed in this forum post</a>.</p>
<h2>Rich text editor improvements<a name="rich-text-editor-improvements" href="#rich-text-editor-improvements" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>We continue making improvements to the Rich Text Editor (RTE) in particular to improve interoperability with other applications, such as LibreOffice, Office or web browsers, as well as better handling of copy and paste.</p>
<p>Another notable addition is support for setting colours, which was a frequently asked feature. To use the feature, select it from the &quot;...&quot; button in the toolbar. Note that once applied the colours will work in the Markdown editor too!</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20240301-rte-colors.png" alt=""></p>
<p>See below for the full list of RTE changes:</p>

This is achieved by bundling more data with the calls that retrieve notes and other data, thus reducing the number of unnecessary requests.</p>
<p>This change will be applied soon to Joplin Cloud (and Server), and the Joplin mobile, desktop and CLI applications will be able to use it from version 2.14.</p>
<p>In my tests with about 26,000 items, synchronisation was more than twice as fast on Joplin Cloud (22.5 minutes vs 9.5 minutes):</p>

<h3>Rich Text Editor improvements<a name="rich-text-editor-improvements" href="#rich-text-editor-improvements" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>In this update, significant enhancements have been implemented in the Rich Text Editor to enhance user experience. One notable improvement is the ability to seamlessly embed various content within tables, including lists and other tables, which was a frequently requested feature:</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20231203-rte-table.png" alt=""></p>
<p>The interoperability with other text editors such as Word and Excel has also been improved, in particular when copying and pasting content between these tools and Joplin.</p>
<h3>Improved ENEX import<a name="improved-enex-import" href="#improved-enex-import" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The Evernote Export format, known as ENEX, has always been challenging to support. This is because Evernote frequently changes it, breaking importers, and may also occasionally introduce bugs. At times, their own application struggles to import back files that it has exported, highlighting the volatility of the ENEX format.</p>
<p>After undergoing continuous improvements for seven years, the importer has achieved a relatively stable state. The majority of issues encountered now stem from invalid files generated by Evernote, a result of bugs introduced in recent versions. Despite these challenges, we strive to enhance the import process by employing various heuristics to process the invalid data as effectively as possible.</p>
<p>The list of bug fixes is below:</p>
<ul>
<li>Apply correct size to images imported from ENEX files</li>
<li>ENEX files that contain resources with invalid mime types are imported correctly</li>
<li>Ensure that ENEX resources with invalid filenames are imported correctly</li>
<li>Prevent application from being stuck when importing an invalid ENEX file</li>
</ul>
<h3>New plugins APIs<a name="new-plugins-apis" href="#new-plugins-apis" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<h4>Note list<a name="note-list" href="#note-list" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h4>
<p>We are continuously improving the plugin API to make it as easy as possible to customize the application.</p>
<p>One of the main addition is support note list plugins - it allows any plugins to customise what the list should display each note.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://joplinapp.org/api/references/plugin_api/classes/joplinviewsnotelist.html">Joplin Plugin Note List API</a> and the <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/packages/app-cli/tests/support/plugins/note_list_renderer/src/index.ts">Note List Demo</a> for more information.</p>
<p>The demo includes three examples of note lists: a fundamental &quot;top to bottom&quot; version, a sophisticated &quot;left to right&quot; variant that additionally displays a note thumbnail, and a demonstration of an interactive note list, allowing direct modification of the note title from the list.</p>
<p>This API was developed based on the feedback we got and we hope it will be useful. We remain open to further input from users and plugin developers regarding any potential missing features and areas for improvement!</p>
<h4>Imaging API<a name="imaging-api" href="#imaging-api" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h4>
<p>The imaging API was created to allow plugin developers to easily load and manipulate images. For now it is possible to load PNG and JPG files, and to resize and crop them.</p>
<p><a href="https://joplinapp.org/api/references/plugin_api/classes/joplinimaging.html">https://joplinapp.org/api/references/plugin_api/classes/joplinimaging.html</a></p>
<h4>And more<a name="and-more" href="#and-more" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h4>
<p>A few more APIs have been added such as one to <a href="https://joplinapp.org/api/references/plugin_api/classes/joplinviewsdialogs.html#showopendialog">open dialog to select a file or folder</a> and a way to <a href="https://joplinapp.org/api/references/plugin_api/enums/contentscripttype.html#getting-the-settings-from-the-renderer">access the plugin settings from a renderer script</a>.</p>
<h3>New beta Markdown editor<a name="new-beta-markdown-editor" href="#new-beta-markdown-editor" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>This version also features a new Markdown editor based on <a href="https://codemirror.net/">CodeMirror 6</a>. This change means that we'll be able to use the same editor on both the desktop and mobile application (which already uses CodeMirror 6), which will allow a more consistent user experience across devices.</p>
<p>Another benefit is that, in a future version, it will allow us to support plugins on the mobile application. There are several other advantages that Henry <a href="https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/pre-release-v2-13-is-now-available-updated-18-11-2023/32697/12?u=laurent">listed in this forum post</a>.</p>
<h2>Mobile<a name="mobile" href="#mobile" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<h3>Drawing option<a name="drawing-option" href="#drawing-option" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>In this new version, Henry integrated the js-draw editor to the mobile app. Js-draw is a powerful freehand drawing library which allows you to draw using a pen, touch screen or mouse.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20231203-drawing.png" alt=""></p>
<p>The editor is integrated to the mobile application. On desktop application, you can use the same library and edit your drawings using the <a href="https://github.com/personalizedrefrigerator/joplin-plugin-freehand-drawing">Freehand Drawing plugin</a>. We will make this plugin available by default in a future desktop release.</p>
<h3>Setting screen<a name="setting-screen" href="#setting-screen" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The mobile version also features a redesigned configuration screen. It is now divided into multiple sections with clear titles, and you can also search for settings using the built-in search option.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20231203-settings.png" alt=""></p>

This includes the discussion of issues on GitHub, as well as the submission of pull requests and related discussions. The transparency of these processes allows for collaborative problem-solving and shared insights.</p>
<p>However, there is one aspect that operates behind closed doors, and for good reason: addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. It is imperative that these issues remain undisclosed until they have been resolved. Once a solution is implemented, it is usually accompanied by discreet commits and a message in the changelog to signify the progress made.</p>
<p>Typically, the process begins with an email from a security researcher. They provide valuable insights, such as a specially crafted note that triggers a bug, or an API call, along with an explanation of how the application's security can be circumvented. We examine the vulnerability, create a fix, and create automated test units to prevent any accidental reintroduction of the vulnerability in future code updates. An example of such a commit is: <a href="https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/commit/9e90d9016daf79b5414646a93fd369aedb035071">9e90d9016daf79b5414646a93fd369aedb035071</a></p>
<p>We then share our fix with the researcher for validation. Additionally, we often apply the fix to previous versions of Joplin, depending on the severity of the vulnerability.</p>
<p>The contribution of security researchers in this regard is immeasurable. They employ their ingenuity to identify inventive methods of bypassing existing security measures and often discover subtle flaws in the code that might otherwise go unnoticed.</p>
<p>We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the security researchers who have assisted us throughout the years in identifying and rectifying security vulnerabilities!</p>

<h3>Support for Apple Silicon<a name="support-for-apple-silicon" href="#support-for-apple-silicon" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>A new release is now available for Apple Silicon, which provides improve performances on this architecture.</p>
<h3>Rich Text editor<a name="rich-text-editor" href="#rich-text-editor" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>In this release, we've undertaken numerous enhancements and addressed various bugs in the Rich Text editor. Notably, we've introduced support for plugin toolbar icons. Additionally, we've refined the editor's ability to manage text that's copied from applications like Word, Office, and LibreOffice, thereby enhancing cross-application compatibility. Among the minor yet impactful improvements, we've fine-tuned the handling of newlines and paragraphs—a highly requested feature. Another notable update is the improved automatic switching between light and dark modes.</p>
<p>Altogether, this release encompasses around 12 significant changes for the Rich Text editor, and rest assured, there's more to come in the future!</p>
<h3>Share permissions<a name="share-permissions" href="#share-permissions" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Using Joplin Cloud Teams, you now have the ability to customize the read and write permissions for the notebooks you share. You have the option to grant other users permission to edit the notes or share them as read-only. This ensures that you can confidently share a notebook without worrying about unintentional modifications by your friends or colleagues.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230825-share-permissions.png" alt=""></p>
<h3>Email to Note<a name="email-to-note" href="#email-to-note" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Joplin Cloud Pro and Teams also now include the Email to Note feature, allowing you to conveniently store your emails within Joplin Cloud. By simply forwarding your emails to your Joplin Cloud address, you can transform them into notes. The email's subject will serve as the note title, while the body of the email will be the note's content. These notes will be organized within a notebook named &quot;Inbox.&quot;</p>
<p>More information in the <a href="https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/email_to_note">Email to Note documentation</a>.</p>
<h3>Choose to resize an image or not<a name="choose-to-resize-an-image-or-not" href="#choose-to-resize-an-image-or-not" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>By default, when you add a large image, Joplin will ask you if you would like to shrink it down or not. With this new release, you now have the option to always ask, to always resize, or to never resize the image, giving you more flexibility and reducing the number of prompts in the app.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230825-resize-note.png" alt=""></p>
<h3>Rotating log<a name="rotating-log" href="#rotating-log" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Up until now, the logs could grow to become very large, and if you wanted to shrink them down you would have to manually delete them. With this new release, we now automatically handle logs by rotating them - once the log becomes large enough it is moved to an archive. And once the archive is older than a number of days, it is deleted.</p>
<h3>Mobile<a name="mobile" href="#mobile" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Like the desktop app, the mobile apps benefits from the Share Permissions update, as well as the Email to Note feature for Joplin Cloud. There are also plenty of other improvements - all in all there's 23 bug fixes, enhancements and security fixes in this release.</p>

<h3>Add support for plugin user data<a name="add-support-for-plugin-user-data" href="#add-support-for-plugin-user-data" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Developers of plugins now have the ability to associate additional information with notes, notebooks, and tags. This data is then synchronized across multiple devices. For instance, it is possible to envision attaching OCR data to an image or incorporating plugin-specific parameters to a note, which can subsequently be synchronized across all devices.</p>
<h3>Improved end-to-end encryption<a name="improved-end-to-end-encryption" href="#improved-end-to-end-encryption" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>End-to-end encryption (E2EE) plays a vital role in safeguarding your data privacy. Our aim is to make it effortlessly user-friendly, seamlessly integrated, and possibly enabled by default.</p>
<p>To achieve this objective, we have implemented several enhancements in this version. These improvements encompass more streamlined management of encryption keys and simplified setup processes for both new and existing devices utilising end-to-end encryption.</p>
<p>Moreover, we have upgraded the encryption algorithm from AES-128 to AES-256, ensuring heightened security for your data in the long run.</p>
<h3>Export a Mermaid graph<a name="export-a-mermaid-graph" href="#export-a-mermaid-graph" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>There is now a context menu on Mermaid graphs which you can use to export your graph as PNG, SVG, or by copying the vector data to the clipboard.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230711-mermaid-export.png" alt=""></p>
<h3>Auto-detect language on startup<a name="auto-detect-language-on-startup" href="#auto-detect-language-on-startup" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>A small but useful change - the application language is now automatically detected startup. Of course, if needed you can later change it in the configuration screen.</p>
<h2>Android<a name="android" href="#android" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>As always most of these changes also apply to the mobile applications, such as the improved end-to-end encryption support, language auto-detection, and various bug fixes and improvements. But besides those, we also have several mobile-specific updates:</p>
<h3>Support for offline voice typing<a name="support-for-offline-voice-typing" href="#support-for-offline-voice-typing" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>The Android mobile app now support offline voice typing - it means your voice recording does not need to be uploaded to Google or Samsung server - it all takes place on your device for added security. To make use of it, open any note, tap on the three dots menu, then &quot;Voice typing&quot;.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230711-voice-typing-1.png" alt=""></p>
<p>The first time, the app will need to download the language files to your device:</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230711-voice-typing-2.png" alt=""></p>
<p>Once they are there, simply record your message and it will appear in the note:</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230711-voice-typing-3.png" alt=""></p>
<h3>Create and move sub-notebooks<a name="create-and-move-sub-notebooks" href="#create-and-move-sub-notebooks" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>@jcgurango implemented support for creating sub-notebooks, and moving notebooks around in the mobile app. To do so, long press on any notebook and press &quot;Edit&quot;. You can now choose to move it under any other notebook using the provided dropdown list.</p>

Joplin 2.10 is here and we've made some amazing improvements and bug fixes, with a focus on the mobile app.</p>
<h2>New design for &quot;New note&quot; and &quot;New to-do&quot; buttons<a name="new-design-for-new-note-and-new-to-do-buttons" href="#new-design-for-new-note-and-new-to-do-buttons" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>We're excited to announce that we've made it even easier to create new notes and to-do lists with new designs for the &quot;New note&quot; and &quot;New to-do&quot; buttons.</p>
<p>If there is enough space, the button labels will be shown in full:</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230508-new-note-1.png" alt=""></p>
<p>While for those who prefer a more narrow note list, only the button icons will be shown:</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230508-new-note-2.png" alt=""></p>
<p>It's a small improvement, but we're confident it will make the app even more intuitive for new users.</p>

<p>Tao Klerks, has been hard at work fixing and improving the custom sort order of the note list. No more notes in the wrong position when you drop them! Plus, custom sort order is now synchronised too.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We've also fixed a few bugs with our Web Clipper, including an issue where certain pages wouldn't import their images. A new Web Clipper has also been released, so you can clip to your heart's content!</p>

</ul>
<p>Last but not least, we have modernised both the desktop and mobile application modules, just <a href="https://joplinapp.org/news/20221115-renovate/">as we previously announced</a>. Although these changes may not be visible to you, they required a lot of work! But the result is that our applications are now more stable and secure, and it will be easier to maintain them in the long run. We're using a tool called <a href="https://www.mend.io/free-developer-tools/renovate/">Renovate</a>, which will automatically propose package updates that we will review. In total, we've updated a whopping 633 packages so far!</p>
<h2>Android app is available in the Play Store<a name="android-app-is-available-in-the-play-store" href="#android-app-is-available-in-the-play-store" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
<p>Our latest version, 2.10, is now back in the Play Store and ready for download! Although we had to skip 2.9 due to some of Google's requirements, we worked hard to ensure that our app complies with their standards, and we are excited to announce that we are back and better than ever! Our iOS version is also available, so you can continue to enjoy the app regardless of the platform you use.</p>
<h3>Biometrics support<a name="biometrics-support" href="#biometrics-support" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>To make your experience even more secure, our Android and iOS apps now support biometric unlock! With just a quick scan of your fingerprint or Face ID, you can unlock your app in no time. To enable this beta feature, just head over to the settings and click on &quot;Use biometrics to secure access to the app&quot;.</p>
<p>We've tested this feature thoroughly during prerelease, and have already fixed all known issues. However we still consider it as a beta feature for now, so if you run into any issues please let us know.</p>
<h3>Support for multiple profile<a name="support-for-multiple-profile" href="#support-for-multiple-profile" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>We're thrilled to announce that multiple profiles are now supported in our mobile app! To create a new profile, simply go to the Configuration screen and click on &quot;Manage profiles&quot; under the Tools section.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230508-biometrics-1.png" alt=""></p>
<p>From there, you can easily add or remove profiles as needed.</p>
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Assets/WebsiteAssets/images/news/20230508-biometrics-2.png" alt=""></p>
<p>Once multiple profiles are setup, you will see a new option in the sidebar to quickly toggle from one profile to another:</p>

<p>Once you've set up multiple profiles, you can easily toggle between them using the new option in the sidebar. This feature is perfect for separating your personal and work notes into independent collections.</p>
<h3>Support for realtime search<a name="support-for-realtime-search" href="#support-for-realtime-search" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Our mobile app now has an improved search function that performs text searches in real time! No more waiting for the search results to load, they'll appear instantly as you type.</p>
<h3>Improved filesystem sync performance<a name="improved-filesystem-sync-performance" href="#improved-filesystem-sync-performance" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h3>
<p>Thanks to the hard work of jd1378, the sync no longer freezes during filesystem synchronisation. We know how frustrating that can be, and we're thrilled to have solved this issue. Getting filesystem sync to work on Android is never easy due to the restrictions put in place by Google, especially since they frequently change, but we're committed to delivering the best possible experience for our Android users.</p>
