2026.7.1

What's Changed

Entry metadata is now a lot prettier and shows more, like the weather. The theme engine got a big refresh too, and there's a batch of TUI, storage, editor, and FUSE fixes.

Warning

The theme schema changed and is now locked at version 1.
Some tokens got renamed and glyphs are split out from colors, so themes from the last release won't load.
Delete the bundled themes that were auto-written into ~/.config/notema/themes/ — this version re-creates the updated ones the next time you launch.
If you've made custom themes, they need a quick update: rename the changed tokens (surfaces.element → surfaces.raised), and move glyph settings into their new [*.glyphs] sections.

Prettier Entry Metadata

• Feelings: / People: / Location: rows are gone. In their place is a glyph-led strip showing weather, air quality, moon, sun, and location, plus tidy chip pills for feelings, people, activities, and tags
• A new [metadata] theme section lets you style the pills, AQI/pollen badges, and mood-bar colours, with all-ASCII fallbacks so it still looks right on e-ink and retro themes
• ASCII images look sharper now — half-block true colour instead of the old five-step brightness ramp, so smooth areas stop speckling and you get double the vertical resolution

Theme Engine

• Glyphs are now split from colors everywhere ([charts.glyphs], [indicators.glyphs], [markdown.glyphs], [metadata.glyphs], [borders.glyphs]), so you can retheme symbols without touching colours
• Renamed a few tokens and added more markdown control — headings, code, and highlights are now their own themeable tokens (heading2, subheading, inline_code, highlight) with list/task/alert glyphs to match. Defaults look the same, and all 25 bundled themes were updated

TUI & Editor

• Added a keyboard cheat sheet and tidied up the footer
• Your place in the entry list stays put when you deselect an entry
• The editor footer respects show_hints now
• Soft-wrapped lines no longer start with a stray leading space
• The re-encryption progress bar shows behind its label instead of getting hidden by it

Storage

• Deleting an entry now cleans up the empty DD/MM/YYYY folders it leaves behind. Folders with nothing but OS junk (.DS_Store, ._*, Thumbs.db) get swept too, but anything real stops the cleanup so nothing important is ever removed

Config

• Per-journal themes are skipped on e-ink setup

FUSE / macOS

• Fixed the macOS FUSE build crashing at launch — the hardened runtime was rejecting fuse-t/macFUSE's libfuse3, so it's now signed with library validation off just for the FUSE binary. Notarization still passes
