v0.11.1

Patch release that declares PyMuPDF as a required dependency for page-cache PDF hashing and updates the macOS Supsidian app version to 0.11.1.

Supsidian v0.11.0

This release adds incremental OCR and major reliability improvements for local OCR workflows, especially on 16 GB Macs.

Highlights

• Added page-level OCR caching based on rendered PDF page hashes.
• Added incremental Local Ollama OCR: unchanged pages reuse cached OCR text.
• Added incremental Hybrid Marker + Ollama OCR.
• Hybrid Marker now uses a low-memory profile by default for 16 GB Macs.
• Hybrid Marker now runs only on changed pages, one page at a time.
• Unchanged notes skip Marker entirely.
• Marker failures are non-fatal; Supsidian continues with Ollama OCR text.
• Ollama can now unload the local model after each processed note to free memory.
• Improved page-cache accounting for changed, inserted, and deleted pages.

Notes

The first local OCR run can still be slow because the full note needs to be processed once. After that, unchanged pages are reused from cache, and only changed pages are processed again.

Supsidian v0.10.0 — Local OCR provider settings

Supsidian v0.10.0 — Local OCR provider settings

This release adds the first full macOS app settings support for multiple OCR providers.

Added

• OCR provider picker in the macOS app
• Support for choosing between:
  • Mistral
  • Local Ollama
  • Hybrid Marker + Ollama
• Provider-specific settings in the GUI
• Local Ollama setup check button
• Ollama model install button
• Ollama download button
• Marker installation help for Hybrid mode
• Clear explanations for all OCR modes

Improved

• Existing Mistral setups remain compatible
• Missing old config keys now load with safe defaults
• Local/Hybrid mode no longer overwrites an existing Mistral API key unnecessarily
• Ollama context size parsing now handles whitespace safely

Notes

• Hybrid Marker + Ollama is still experimental.
• Marker auto-install is intentionally not included yet.
• Local Ollama requires Ollama and the model richardyoung/olmocr2:7b-q8.
• Hybrid mode also requires marker_single or an absolute Marker command path.
