VelocityNote v1.0.0 — macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows (x64)
The first signed and notarized release, and the largest one so far: 95 changes since
v0.2.5, the last public build.
Install
- macOS (Apple Silicon):
VelocityNote_1.0.0_aarch64.dmg— open, drag to Applications,
double-click. The app is signed with a Developer ID certificate, notarized by Apple and
stapled, so there is no right-click → Open and noxattrstep any more. - Windows (x64):
VelocityNote_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe(or the.msi). Windows builds are
not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen warns on first run: More info → Run anyway. - Auto-update is enabled on both platforms; update packages are signed and verified by
the app before installing.
Windows builds are back — the crate had not compiled for Windows since v0.1.3.
What's new
Working with many notes at once
- Merge selected notes into one, with the rewrite that matters (recordings survive).
- Rubber-band selection in the note list, plus four batch actions.
- A scope control on notebook views: include sub-notebooks or not, as plain clickable text.
- The note you have open now counts as selected.
Sidebar and quick access
- Drag a note or notebook to the sidebar to pin a shortcut; each kind gets its own icon.
- Fold sub-notebooks in bulk — a subtree with alt, or a whole section.
- Fixed: clicking a quick-access shortcut could delete it.
- Fixed: an untitled pinned note read "(missing)".
Tags and notebooks
- Drag a tag onto another to nest it; tags nest by name and carry their own colour.
- A note row no longer drowns in its tags.
- Notebooks are picked from a list, not retyped from memory — the same list everywhere,
with a "create" row when the name does not exist yet. - A sub-notebook shows its parent path, the way a tag does (a setting, default off).
- Fixed: a long notebook name squeezed the "Updated" column down to "U".
Editor and preview
- Right-click menus in the reading view, and an image can be copied from it.
- Fixed: right-clicking selected the word or line under the pointer, so Cut/Copy acted on
text you never selected. - Fixed: typing the closing ``` popped the language list; the language name is syntax, not
a code token; markdown markers follow your theme instead of a fixed green. - Escape closes the find panel from the note text, not only from the panel itself.
- Fixed: the pasted-URL link menu wrote nothing, for all three options.
Links, export and import
[[Title|note:id]]— a wiki link that survives a rename.- Export selected notes as an Import Folder, so they import back into any vault;
attachments come with them. - The import notebook picker now shows how to create one.
Command line
- The CLI is
vn, installable in one click from Preferences → CLI. Barevnprints
help instead of launching a second copy of the app.
Reliability
- Fixed: a deleted oversized note could never push its own deletion, so sync stalled behind it.
- Fixed: a 290 MB backup ran in total silence and read as a hang.
- Server-side: the attachment garbage collector had never actually deleted anything from
storage since July, so removed attachments were kept and billed twice.
Linux is not part of this release. .sig files are the updater's minisign signatures, not
OS code signatures; .app.tar.gz is the macOS update package and does not need to be
downloaded by hand.
