Paperless Notes 4.3.0

Writing

• Built-in spell checking that runs entirely in the app, with no Windows service and no network. Unknown
  words outside code, links, tags, HTML and front matter get a wavy underline. When a misspelled word is
  finished, its likely correction appears in its place in faded text: Tab accepts it, Esc keeps what you
  typed, and a small bar offers Accept, Keep and Add to dictionary. Right-click a word for up to five
  suggestions. The personal dictionary is kept with the local settings. Settings, Spelling, Check
  spelling turns it off.
• Emoji shortcodes: type a colon and two letters (for example :sk) for a list of matching emoji. Tab
  or Enter inserts the highlighted one, the arrow keys move through the list and Esc closes it. Typing
  the closing colon (:skull:) replaces the code at once. Shortcodes are not offered in code, links or
  front matter.
• A horizontal rule (---) draws as a rule. A --- on the first line opens front matter only when the
  next line looks like key:. Insert, Horizontal rule leaves the caret on a new line below the rule.

Interface

• Motion throughout: messages slide up from the bottom, the sidebar and the outline and help panels slide
  in and out, the find bar and the sync banners slide down, Home's sections rise into place, a note fades
  in when you leave Home, the marker on the active tab slides to the next tab, library folders unroll,
  tips fade in, and hover highlights fade. Settings, Motion, Reduce motion turns every animation off.
• Tabs share their width like a browser: they shrink as tabs are added, grow as tabs close, and a new
  tab grows in. A single tab no longer leaves a large gap before the New tab button. Close buttons show
  on the active and hovered tabs.
• Dragging the top bar of a maximized window restores it under the pointer, so it can be moved and
  resized again.
• The logo button at the far left of the top bar is removed. Home stays in the sidebar, on Alt+Home and
  in the search palette.
• A single click opens a note in the library, and a single click on a folder opens or closes it.
• Library highlights start at the row's own level, so the folder guide lines no longer run through
  them, and folders open without the jump that followed the Loading row.
• The status dots are removed. "Saved" and "All open notes saved" change colour instead: amber while
  saving, red when a note needs attention.
• Pinned tabs show their whole name when it fits.

Export

• HTML and PDF exports follow the editor: the note's typeface at regular weight (PDFs were all bold),
  natural line spacing instead of 1.5, the editor's heading sizes, italic quotes with a bar (in PDFs
  too), and done tasks struck through.

Fixed

• Styling after an emoji, or any other character outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, landed one
  character early.
• A rare crash: Python's cycle collector could run on a background thread and free interface objects
  there. Collection now runs only on the interface thread.

Upgrading from 4.2.0

• Settings, open tabs, version history and the search index are kept. Spell checking is on by default.
