Dendron Weekly: 0.84 release, Dendron on Mastodon, speed improvements, Pod V2 via dendron-cli, and more!
It’s time for a weekly roundup! The email newsletter is a curated collection of weekly updates about Dendron and the Dendron community!
Dendron 0.84 has sprouted 🌱
Speed improvements: Dendron: Show Preview should be much faster now because of note sync/image optimization!
Pod V2 Preview features continue growing: dendron exportPodV2 is now available with dendron-cli. Previously, you could only run Pod V2 commands if you were within VS Code / VSCodium, but you can now run exports from the CLI ad-hoc or in scripts.
- More information: Pod V2 CLI
Highlights
- feat(pods): support pods v2 in CLI
- enhance(views): faster image preview by using native vscode webview urls
- enhance(views): faster webviews by reducing engine sync operations
Everything Else
- enhance(views): separate tag configuration for preview and publish (docs)
- fix(schema): Apply schema template for goto-note-command if template is in different vault
- fix(publish): Table of Contents is missing user tags, inline code, dashes and underlines
- fix(workspace): dendron can hang when trying to provide hover for large non-dendron file
- fix(views): clicking preview links for non-note files
- fix(views): Code blocks and spans in preview are html encoded
- fix(workspace): don’t call reload index if action is findIncompatibleExtension
- fix(views): don’t refresh tree view if note visible

Dendron Reading Series
This week’s entry in the Dendron Reading Series.
Credit to
pajuk#0605, a community member in the Dendron Discord, for contributing the link for this week’s Dendron Reading Series!
A study method to work with your brain, rather than trying to cram and hope things stick: spaced repetition. This means periodically revisiting what you want to learn, over time, as a way of transforming information into long-term knowledge.
Some members of the community have been playing with Recall, a VS Code extension, for spaced repetition in their Dendron setup. VS Code also has pomodoro extensions, which could be paired with spaced repetition and Fractal Pomodoros.
Recall has now been added to the awesome-dendron repo, along with an entire collection of interesting resources. Make sure to check them out and add more awesome to the list!
