Hotfix 0.42.3 Shipped!

Greetings!

We’re delivering this hotfix just three days after the 0.42.0 update to address important feedback from our beloved Community and better align with user expectations. This patch bundles all the features of 0.42.0 along with UI improvements, primarily the sidebar display settings, and several bug fixes. Thank you for your swift feedback and continued support!

Here’s what’s new in this hotfix:

Quality of Life :herb:

  • Added display options for Vault Sidebar to Settings → Personalization tab.
  • Moved settings from the Appearance tab to the Personalization tab for consistency; renamed the Appearance tab to Color Mode.
  • Improved sidebar animation and delay. Thanks, @code-jack

Bug Fixes :beetle:

  • Fixed an issue with the default auto-hide sidebar behavior. Previous logic caused problems for users with auto-hide enabled in fixed mode. The setting is now updated, so please reconfigure your auto-hide/show preferences.
  • Corrected the positioning of the sidebar toggle icon and header on Windows and Linux.
  • Cleared saved search state in Global Search when the clear button is used.
  • Fixed a bug preventing “0” values from appearing in Number relations. Thanks, @sandyeggo
  • Resolved an issue with markdown parsing that caused inline links to add “…” at the end. Thanks, @ferdzso!
  • Fixed a middleware problem with macOS 11 builds. Thanks, @_martin
  • Fixed an issue with URL previews not displaying correctly on mouse hover. Thanks, @candidchronicles
  • Fixed issue with PDFs exporting black background in dark mode. Thanks, @2PJs
  • Fixed numbers remaining when switching from a numbered list to a bulleted list. Thanks, @Elias

Thanks for again for your patience and feedback as we work to improve Anytype :heart_hands:

The sidebar doesn’t auto-appear/hide any longer …

The setting is now updated, so please reconfigure your auto-hide/show preferences.

Ah, yes!
I’ve already had a look into it, but have overseen that there is an additional switch now, not only the selector.
So you’re right! :+1:

Works really nice now, great work! :heart_eyes:

The color mode feels a little lonely in its own tab - perhaps it also could move to the preferences? :sweat_smile:

it can be expanded later.

Not gonna lie it should be back to "Appearance Tab", Customization tab or Theme tab for further custimiztion later.

The only thing I can think about in “Color mode” in the future the ability to change accent color, color tags and the user interface but if it called anything else it will make more space for other things like changing font, Icons and much more

Anyway thx for the overall improvements. :+1:

We can change it later, settings get updated all the time. We have discussed it with our design lead and it made sense to do it like this for now.

Is there any way of checking the sha256 of the app downloaded vs a database? do you publish them?

Hello. For packaging purposes for Linux distros, is there another full release of 0.42.X (no beta) planned in near future (like this week) which the distros should wait for before updating its packaged version of Anytype, or should the distros update now to 0.42.3? No problem if there’s no clear answer.

are you sure they are correct? I get different values for Anytype-0.42.3-mac-arm64.dmg

Where did you get the dmg? These are generated by electron-builder and used by electron-updater, I did not dive deep into the logic itself. Here is a doc on that Auto Update - electron-builder

It seems in the file there are not sha512 hashes but some compressed string.

I got it form download.anytype.io

Here is a github issue on how to verify checksum manually: Docs for verifying checksum manually · Issue #3913 · electron-userland/electron-builder · GitHub

Great! Thaks you very much, now they coincide.
Where can I find the .yml files for futures updates?

There are no such files, they are generated when build is finished.
