0.0.6

Changelog - v0.0.6 (Pre-release)

New features & improvements

• Added a new properties-based frontmatter editor with drag-and-drop ordering, property name suggestions, and a source mode fallback for advanced templates.
• Added automatic migration for legacy frontmatter templates when they can be converted into editable properties.
• Added support for typed Obsidian properties when saving articles, including text, lists, numbers, checkboxes, dates, and datetimes.
• Added new template variables: {{datepublished}}, {{ytduration}}, and {{tags}}, while keeping {{datepub}}, {{duration}}, and {{#tags}} for backward compatibility.
• Added a manual Delete old articles now command and optional ribbon button that runs cleanup and duplicate removal on demand.
• Added configurable delete behavior for cleanup and duplicate removal: use the Obsidian default, move to Obsidian trash, move to system trash, or delete permanently.
• Moved auto-update enablement to device-specific local settings, so background updates can be enabled per device instead of syncing through vault data.
• Deferred heavier startup work until the workspace layout is ready, reducing plugin load impact.
• Improved the feeds list and bulk edit UI with search/filter refinements, clearer per-feed rule controls, folder badges, archive/trash actions, and more consistent styling.
• Added BRAT installation guidance and switched manual installation instructions toward the packaged super-rss.zip.

Cleanup, saving, and feed processing

• Cleanup now respects the selected delete behavior across old articles, read articles, live articles, orphaned database entries, and duplicate files.
• Duplicate removal now registers discarded duplicate articles in the databases so they are not immediately recreated on the next update.
• Age-based cleanup now distinguishes normal old-article deletion from explicit mark-as-read deletion.
• Feed updates now run pre-update cleanup through a shared database flow.
• Article saving now renders frontmatter from structured properties when enabled, with better YAML formatting for known Obsidian property types.
• YouTube articles no longer duplicate the hero thumbnail when the content already includes the video embed.
• Feed parsing and database migration now use stricter type checks, better corrupted-line handling, and quieter debug logging.
• Update stopping now waits for the current async operation to settle and shows a clearer status message.

Technical updates

• Updated defuddle from 0.18.1 to 0.19.1.
• Updated esbuild from 0.25.5 to 0.28.1.
• Fixed the version bump script so new plugin versions are always written to versions.json.
• Prepared release automation for GitHub pre-releases and updated plugin metadata to 0.0.6.
• Reworked several settings modules to reduce unsafe any usage, use Obsidian CSS helpers more consistently, and improve async error handling.
