Lilo 0.2.2 is the largest Lilo update so far: a rebuilt adaptive workspace, direct-root Markdown vaults, safer bulk operations, and a major internal refactor that prepares the app for continued development.
Highlights
- Completed the adaptive interface for both compact widget and expanded workspace layouts.
- Added a responsive explorer, categorized inspector, redesigned settings, focused Quick Capture, and live in-editor image placement.
- Added a native folder picker and made any selected directory the direct root of a new Markdown vault.
- Preserved the existing
Notes,Trash, andBackupslayout for vaults created by Lilo 0.2.1 and earlier. - Added reviewed previews before vault-wide tag and wiki-link rewrites.
- Made multi-note saves continue after individual failures and report partial results clearly.
- Prevented folder deletion from removing attachments or other unmanaged files.
- Extended diagnostics and regression coverage for attachments, interrupted writes, read-only files, migrations, recovery, and large vaults.
- Fixed a Unicode boundary panic when checkbox hit-testing Cyrillic text.
- Removed the legacy navigation layer and stale persisted layout state.
- Split application orchestration and storage into focused modules and routed shared UI commands through
CommandAction.
Upgrade compatibility
Direct upgrade of application settings is supported from Lilo 0.2.0 and newer. Markdown notes remain portable and can always be opened as regular files. If settings.json is damaged, Lilo preserves a uniquely named backup and starts with safe current defaults.
Warning
Lilo is still under active development. Although this release passed automated checks on Windows and Arch Linux, bugs may remain on particular systems, desktop environments, or vaults. Keep a current vault backup and report reproducible problems through GitHub Issues.
