Dendron Weekly: 0.86 release, Airtable Export pod enhancements, Dendron speed improvements, bug fixes, 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 0.86 has sprouted 🌱
The Airtable Export Pod now supports null entries for dates. Before this, an empty/null value for date would prompt issues when attempting to export notes to Airtable. Learn more here: (docs)
In addition, we’ve improved the speed of note references - you should notice a significantly faster experience when using note references and hover previews.
This release includes a variety of other fixes and improvements.
Highlights
- enhance(pods): support null entries for dates in Airtable export pod v2
- enhance(basics): improve performance around reference rendering including hover
Everything Else
- enhance(workspace): Dendron still loads if there’s a missing local vault
- fix(pods): Google Docs Export pod displays Bad Request error on export
- fix(publish): better error messages when publishing
- fix(views): block anchors showing up in the preview
- fix(basics): ensure note title is always a string to avoid errors

mikhail#3816shared a link to dendron-citations: “I’ve put out a major update to dendron-citations. Now, tag notes are automatically created for each keyword and author – this lets you use dendron backlinks to see which papers a certain author has written, or which papers have a certain keyword! I’ve also put out a lot of other minor improvements.” - 💡

Written 25 years ago, Morville and Wiggins were intent on revealing to Internet explorers the same tools and processes used in traditional brick-and-mortar research. Addressing the Internet in a time before Google reigned supreme, they draw heavily from tools and techniques found in libraries and research centers, and discuss how these could be transposed to digital forms. They highlight the advantages of digital indices and query interfaces, and the drawbacks of a lack of organizational hierarchy, decentralization, unverified information and broken links.
