clin-rs

TLDR:

Clin gains native Bases, a full Calendar with CalDAV sync, broader Mermaid previews, and a command palette available across views. Saving, recovery, imports, and background processing receive substantial improvements. Built-in encryption and Git backup are removed; encrypted vaults require preparation before upgrading.

ADDED:

• Native Bases - Open .base files in Table, List, Cards, and Kanban layouts, with typed properties, formulas, filters, sorting, grouping, summaries, search, and export.
• Bases authoring and live embeds - Create and configure Bases, edit properties, move cards, display image covers, and embed live views in Markdown and Canvas, with guarded undo/redo.
• Calendar - Manage recurring events in Month, Week, Day, and Agenda views, link notes, use inline references, import/export iCalendar files, and manually synchronize CalDAV calendars with conflict resolution.
• Global command palette - Access contextual actions across views with Ctrl+Space or F6, including guarded navigation, save, and quit commands.
• Frontmatter editor - Press F7 to edit structured properties or raw YAML, with configurable automatic metadata output.
• Mermaid previews - Render flowcharts, sequence diagrams, entity relationship diagrams, and state diagrams inline. Toggle editor diagram previews with Alt+m.
• New layouts - For notes view, added multi and list layouts that are similar to tree layout, can be switched to via command palette.
• Folder-local template variables - Define variables in .clin-template.toml, with inheritance, folder-specific overrides, and editable folder configuration.
• Feature controls - Manage supported features through a central [features] configuration with enabled, disabled, and deleted states.
• Setup options - Choose the Notes layout and feature preset during setup.
• Icons and folder badges - Use Emoji icon mode, distinct file-type icons, and folder configuration badges.
• Selection counts - See word and character counts for selected editor text.
• CLI note creation options - Create notes in a destination folder with --folder and read content using --stdin or automatically detected piped input.
• Lots of UI improvements - Several UI improvements across the project; sections are spaced more thoughtfully, all the icons got refurbished, colorful sections where revelant and more.
• Standalone draw-rs - Draw view is now a standalone project acting as a library for clin-rs, you can download and use it from it's repository draw-rs.

CHANGED:

• Palette workflows now keep selectors, settings, creation forms, and other supported inputs inside the palette. Actions support previews, category colors, and persistent frequency/recency ranking.
• Notes layouts share section behavior and optional Vault, Pinned, Smart, and Subnotes header tabs.
• Headers, footers, popups, selectors, and pane styling follow more consistent theme and sizing rules.
• Drawing now uses the standalone draw-rs engine through a Clin adapter.
• Static views redraw only when needed. Preview loading, image processing, catalog updates, and Calendar queries use bounded background work with cancellation.
• Legacy feature flags migrate into [features]; newly generated configurations enable all supported features by default.
• HTML URL imports can use optional trafilatura article extraction, with fallback to existing converters.

FIXED:

• Note, public-document, Drawing, and Canvas saves now use shared conflict checks and guarded writes to reduce accidental overwrites.
• Failed saves and recovery conflicts retain unsaved content. Recovery leaves records owned by another active session untouched.
• Vault migration preserves attachments, hidden metadata, templates, subnotes, recovery records, and vault-relative paths.
• Folder operations, attachment access, and public-document

Mainly focused on the new modular view system via graf-rs and pinstar as libraries and using src/pinstar_adapter.rs, src/graf_adapter.rs helpers.
