26.10.1

What's new

• Project files: keep files of any kind with a project. (53f1786)
• Previews of text files, PDFs and LibreOffice documents. (f13131c)
• Workdays: choose your workdays in the preferences. The week chart shares the target hours among them, and vacation, sick days and public holidays take their share off. (50dc68f, 2ebe881)
• Deleting a day: the new day menu deletes a logged day. (82ed166)
• Heatmap: the heatmap in the reports fits the chosen period and colors its days by project. (1395ffd)

Changes

• Working time is now the sum of the blocks. The start and end of work are gone from the day view and from bitlog set. Loose work such as e-mails goes into blocks of filler. A work field in older day files is kept but no longer counted. (1e9f3c8)

Improvements

• Tasks can also be edited in the day view. New tasks are added with Enter or the apply button. (33cb162)
• Tasks move like projects: drag the whole row with the mouse, or on touch screens use the handle or a long press. A mark shows where they will go. (70a5939)
• You can choose a repository right when you add a project. (5243a41)
• Blocks without a title show their project's name in italics. (6d4d5c0)
• The project timeline loads 10 blocks at a time. (bd7371a)
• Typing in long notes is smoother, previews of unchanged files are not read again, and loading a vault looks for sync conflict copies only where they can be. (4813c7e, f9cd1e3, 00cf17c)
• Tidying up under the hood (c103c24 … 967a5a0)

Fixes

• The project dialog no longer says that an ID cannot be changed. It now points to bitlog project rename. (2f8c112)

Install

Download bitlog-26.10.1.flatpak and install it with your system's software app, or run:

flatpak install --user --reinstall ./bitlog-26.10.1.flatpak

26.10

What's new

• New name: Knotbook is now BitLog, with a new logo and a home at bitlog.dev. (ddcf9a3)
• Notes page: the notes of all projects on one page. (ca1516e, 8843af9)
• Mermaid diagrams: code blocks in Mermaid are drawn as diagrams. (6df4434)
• Git page: choose the branch it shows, see how it stands against its upstream and what is not committed yet. New commits show up by themselves. (3e7cd42, a2be149, 2739348)
• Commit details show the diff and the tags of a commit. (ea2d0aa)
• Standup lists your own commits of the day. (6e44c0c)
• Renaming project IDs: bitlog project rename changes a project's ID in all days and notes. (ae87b1a)

Improvements

• Today's timeline marks the current time. (4a62830)
• The block panel can be resized at its edge and remembers its width. (df76d0e)
• Enter or a click beside the editor finishes editing a block or the day note. (285ab83)
• Wrapped lines of list items line up with their text. (90f036a)
• The project dialog tells you right away when an ID is taken. (ae87b1a)
• The placeholders of the day and block notes mention that headings stay plain text. (f31801b)

Fixes

• The app no longer crashes when the pointer is below the text of a line. (b5d910a)

What's new

• Preferences: a new dialog for the vault settings. (a5e0237)
• Theme switcher in the main menu. (016657d)
• Projects in the sidebar: active projects are listed in the sidebar. You now order projects by dragging them; pinning is gone. (b6715b3, 633f95e)
• Calendar: the month is shown as a grid with week numbers. (f7b8592)
• Project notes are shown as page miniatures. (b0f3341)
• Commits: click a commit to see its details. (7bd0381)

Improvements

• A project is shown on one page again. (efc259e)
• Markdown looks richer in the editor. (791f7bc)
• The day view shows as many lines of a block's note as fit, and loads only the task list it shows. (aa79840, a853b29)
• Renaming a note updates the links in your day files and reloads the day view. (64f2eeb, 1d8d40e)
• The CLI is sturdier and simpler. (5776270)
• The Flatpak is built in release mode: faster, and the bundle is smaller. (b1717bd)

Fixes

• Editing a project or the vault settings no longer overwrites changes made elsewhere in the meantime. (9b844de)
• Note templates must lie inside the vault. (f5d3089)
• Reading files no longer makes the vault reload again and again. (a548a2e)
• On a tall project page, the timeline stays right below the notes. (72873b0)

Under the hood, a lot of duplicated code was removed and shared between the app and core. (913b6ac, b633b83, adc58a7, a38e707, 39098ff, 96d53da, 09b6523, db18774, ddd95ad, 9bd9309)
