Dendron Weekly: 0.91 release, Meeting Notes, configuring note titles, opening file assets 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!
A New Dendron Release has Appeared!
Meeting Notes: We’re introducing a new type of special note: meeting notes. Meeting notes help you quickly create meeting-specific notes by applying a customizable template. Try them out with the Dendron: Create Meeting Note command!
- More information in our documentation on special notes
Note Title Configuration: This release introduces a configuration setting to allow notes to display their full hierarchy in their note title. For example, if this setting is enabled, a new note named one.two.three will be titled One Two Three.

Dendron Reading Series
This week’s entry in the Dendron Reading Series.

After two weeks of outages, Atlassian status page now lists JIRA as being back to operational. In this article, Gergely Orosz details the timeline of events, what caused the outage (only one little script!), who was impacted, and what we can learn. Written a little over a week into the outage, this reflection not only diagnoses what went wrong to cause the outage, but also what went wrong in the response by Atlassian.
Both a lack of transparency and delays in communication have done little to comfort those affected. If you are responsible for keeping infrastructure up and running, what plans might your team put in place to ensure that your customers stay informed and up-to-date when your services are unavailable? If customers depend on you in any capacity, how can you communicate to them when you will be unavailable and when service will resume?
Interested in more tales of outage disasters? @kevins8#0590 shared how one of its largest AWS outages to S3 was the result of a typo.
