April Bug Fixes and Enhancements


A summary of all the bug fixes and little improvements from the last two weeks:

Marqueyssac Topiary Gardens

[Fixed] Sidebar → Inbox: Dark colored cards rendered black text, instead of white text when looking at the space.

[Fixed] Links to spaces that have long names without spaces had their text render outside of the card if it isn't explicitly widened.

[Fixed] (( at the beginning of a card didn't add the closing parentheses on Windows.

[Fixed] Ctrl-Shift-F shortcut on Windows to search all spaces wasn't being triggered.

[Fixed] When editing a card, pressing esc to close the edit dialog and then b would not toggle Box drawing mode.

[Fixed] Hide URL button did nothing when Kinopio is unable to get any URL preview information. e.g.: When linking to something on a private intranet that isn't publicly accessible

[Fixed] Card, space, and website URLPreviews in cards now only appear if the card name still includes the url. So if you add a URL and then remove it, then the URL preview will no longer render

[Improved] URLPreview website name and favicon are now clickable in CardDetails to visit that URL

[Fixed] signing in was creating duplicate copies of Inbox and Hello Kinopio space

[Improved] You can now upload multiple files at once through the Card → ImagePicker → Upload button

[Improved] Added more robust support for localhost urls with :port numbers instead of TLDs. So stuff like http://localhost:8080/foo or https://bastion.alionscience.com:8080/index.php/Autogen are now recognized as urls too

[API Docs] attr user.shouldShowMultipleSelectedItemActions replaced by user.shouldShowMultipleSelectedCardActions and user.shouldShowMultipleSelectedLineActions

[Improved] Updated max card length for cards with code snippets (using triple backticks ```) to 4000 chars

[Fixed] Selecting transparent colors in the Colorpicker correctly updates the transparency slider

[Fixed] Card votes by non-signed-up users were not being saved

[API Docs] The route PATCH /card/update-counter has been added

[Improved] Improved the robustness of checking if the space in your browser is out of sync with the latest version

[Fixed] If you visit a favorite space that you no longer have permission to view (which can happen when a public space later becomes private), that space would remain in your favorite spaces list

[Improved] Added user Setting → Controls → 'Invert Zoom Direction' to change the behaviour of zooming in/out of a space via mousewheel. This setting is not synced, instead it's saved per device

[Improved] You can now tilt a card by dragging in any direction from the bottom-right (before tilting was adjusted by dragging along the x-axis only)

[Fixed] The vertical position of text on Linux rendered incorrectly
