The two big highlights are:

- The "Details Panel" is now universal, allowing folders, images, etc. to show backlinks in addition to notes.

- A massive improvement to keyboard control. Lenses, pane settings, details panel, and the sidebar can all be easily navigated with the keyboard.

v0.12.0-alpha.1 + Made the Details Panel universal across all views, making backlinks accessible anywhere. + Added keyboard navigation in the pane settings, with a Cd/Ctrl+Alt+Up shortcut for opening the settings panel in the current pane. + Added keyboard navigation to the Feed, Cards, and List Lenses. + Enabled the "Move to Left Note" Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Left shortcut to move keyboard focus to The Sidebar. Pressing Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Right while focus is in the sidebar will return focus to the leftmost pane. + Made the floating "Create" button universal across the Folder, Feed, & List Lenses. + The - and * list characters are now treated as different kinds. Swapping between them in a list will propagate that change to all lower siblings. + Added support for list glyphs to automatically change as you indent. This can be disabled in the note settings. + Sentence focus will highlight the previous sentence if the cursor is within trailing whitespace of a line. This leaves the last sentence highlighted when you haven't yet started a new one. + Added support for ISO week numbers in Creation Rule name templates. + Added • webp image files to the image allow list. + Added a setting to disable auto-updates. + Updated to Electron 40 and Svelte 5. - Fixed an issue where thousands of in-note-search results could cause dramatic performance issues by limiting the number of rendered annotations. - Fixed RTL language issues for tags, inline math, lists, and unchecked checkboxes (more work here pending).

Tangent v0.12.0-alpha.1 is out! This is a big release with a host of updates to underlaying frameworks. "The Bleeding Edge" will likely earn its name! 🔪
