Joplin v1.4.11 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-11-19 // over 3 years ago
  • Breaking Changes:

    • 👀 If you use the Clipper API, please note that there are a few breaking changes in this version. See this link for more information: #3983
    • 🔌 Plugins: joplin.views.dialogs.open() now returns an object instead of the button ID that was clicked. So for example instead of getting just "ok", you will get { "id": "ok" }. This is to allow adding form data to that object.

    🗄 Deprecated:

    ⚡️ The following features are deprecated. It will still work for now but please update your code:

    • 🔌 Plugins: All create() functions under joplin.views now take a viewId as a first parameter.
    • 🔌 Plugins: MenuItemLocation.Context is deprecated and is now an alias for MenuItemLocation.NoteListContextMenu
    • Plugins: The app_min_version manifest property is now required. If not provided it will assume v14.
    • 🔌 Plugins: The id manifest property is now required. If not set, it will be the plugin filename or directory.

    🔌 Plugin doc has been updated with some info about the development process.
