Changelog

v0.40.1 - 2023-10-28

• fix bug where not all tags would be added to the database and therefore query --tag results would have been incomplete
• fix bug where sync --update would keep old links and tags, even if they changed or were removed
• fix panics in settle sync --rename caused by trying to rename a file that didn't exist
• fix overwrites in settle sync --rename when there was a Zettel with the new title on the filesystem but didn't have an entry in the database
• query --graph json: specify "ghost" as edge weight if the target link does not exist
• vizk:
  • make nonexistent Zettel slightly darker in color and less opaque, to distinguish them from those that do exist
  • make drag distance detection dependent on node size, so that there isn't a visible mismatch between large nodes and their selection radii
  • change default parameters so that the notes don't cluster in the center when opening the visualisation
  • fix bug where link force greatly affected link distance at lower values for the former
  • add button to toggle displaying arrows at the end of each link
• settle compl: add completion for Nushell (through nu, nushell arguments)
• change query and ls: always print output alphabetically sorted
• change: don't enforce having an inbox project, since the user should have control over this

v0.40.0 - 2023-08-31

• query: change --graph to take a single value insteaed of printing a DOT graph:
  • specifying dot as an argument prints the DOT graph
  • specifying json as an argument prints the JSON string of the graph
  • specifying vizk as an argument returns HTML code using d3.js under the hood, through which the Zettelkasten can be interactively visualised
• fix: make sync --rename take precisely two arguments instead of a variable amount
• fix: get default configuration file variables at runtime instead of compile time

v0.39.11 - 2023-08-15

• add: make configuration file location flexible by allowing using the SETTLE_CONFIG environment option
• fix: check for environment variables at runtime, not at compile time
• fix: don't use environment variables if they are set but empty

v0.39.10 - 2023-08-15

• change: make titles be unique globally, i.e. a single unique title per Zettelkasten, instead of having them be unique per-project basis.
• refactor: rework the database architecture entirely, but keep (roughly) the same functionality
• fix: make finding backlinks just as fast as finding forward links
• fix: make sync --create return the proper error
• fix: prevent compl from creating configuration files
• fix: make compl recognise its input properly
• fix: prevent query from returning a capacity overflow error when using the --text option.
• fix: don't insert duplicate links into the database
• fix: include more information in I/O panics, to make debugging easier

v0.39.9 - 2023-06-10

• fix: automatically rename Zettel with multiple consecutive whitespace, so that words in them may be separated only by a single space character
• fix query: return backlinks properly, instead of just a subset, or none (!)
• clarify documentation
• update dependencies to latest versions

v0.39.8 - 2023-05-21

• add main as an alias for the main Zettelkasten project, i.e. the empty string project, for all commands that may reference it
• fix settle sync --move: use regular regex instead of SQL regex to match notes

v0.39.7 - 2023-05-19

• settle query: fix bad output of --graph command, which (due to the v0.39.6 update) printed not only its intended output, but also the regular query output.

v0.39.6 - 2023-05-14

• settle query: add %a format flag, which, when used in combination with the --text option, prints the patterns matched by the latter option. This is especially useful for giving context to a search, since enclosing it with a .* at the start and end (such as .*search.*) returns an entire line.

v0.39.5 - 2023-01-30

• add --exact option to settle query, for disabling regex and at the same time avoiding any possible [internal] errors due to regex-specific characters in Zettel titles
• re-write documentation entirely, add a bunch of files to doc/ and link to them in the README.md "Overview" section

v0.39.4 - 2023-01-25

• fix: settle sync --create no longer permits empty titles and titles starting with a dot (which would be, as per regular Unix behaviour, hidden files)
• fix: settle sync --generate now ignores files starting with a dot, and likewise, empty titles
• fix: settle sync --update no longer panics when given certain relative paths, notably when the current working directory is the main Zettelkasten directory
• fix: settle sync --update returns an error on files that are not in the Zettelkasten
• fix: if the database file doesn't exist or the database hasn't been initialised, settle no longer panics complaining that it can't find SQL tables

v0.39.3 - 2023-01-25

• fix: detected tags must be delimited by whitespace on both sides, so that for example it doesn't think that a reference in a link is a tag (e.g. https://example.com/hello#About; formerly, it would take #About as a tag)
• fix: query --tag <TAG> also returns the subtags of <TAG>
• fix: sync --rename would never work since it never found the correct title

v0.39.2 - 2023-01-24

• add --graph option to query, for making a graph out of the results

v0.39.1 - 2023-01-24

  • add --link_sep option, which specifies how both links and backlinks should be separated in formatting
• remove groff/man document inside doc/

v0.39.0 - 2023-01-22

• change command line interface entirely:
  • remove all listing-related commands
  • add query command for querying the database, with the ability to to apply several filter parameters, at your choice
  • remove all commands that were related to changing the database
  • add sync command, which deals with everything related to changing the database
