Automatically released by CI

espanso v2.3.0

✨ New Features

  • Timezone Selection in {date} Extension

    • You can now generate dates and times in any timezone using the new tz parameter. For example: 
        - trigger: ":today"
    replace: "{{mytime}}"
    vars:
      - name: mytime
        type: date
        params:
          format: "%H:%M"
          locale: en-AG
          tz: America/Los_Angeles
    • Choose from the database of IANA timezones such as "UTC", "Europe/Paris", "Asia/Tokyo", etc.

  • Configurable Regex Buffer Size

    • Advanced users can now adjust the maximum number of characters stored for regex-based triggers. The default (previously not editable) is 50. We recommend to set a reasonable low number.
    • Add max_regex_buffer_size: <number> to your default.yml

  • Empty Triggers are Safely Ignored

    • will automatically filter out empty triggers in YAML match files and log a warning, preventing accidental errors and confusion.

  • Support for Both .yml and .yaml Config Files

    • now recognizes configuration files with either extension. For compatibility purposes, .yml is still the preferred value if the user has a file with both extensions.
    • We would like to switch to prefer yaml in the future
🛠️ Improvements

  • Markdown Rendering Overhaul

    • switched to the pulldown-cmark engine for markdown conversion, providing faster, more reliable rendering of your markdown snippets.

  • Better Search Results Display

    • Search popups now correctly escape HTML characters in labels and triggers, preventing visual glitches and accidental HTML interpretation.

  • More Flexible Config Includes

    • The configuration engine can now aggregate both .yml and .yaml match files, reducing troubleshooting and making structure more flexible.

    • Version and help flags work more consistently across platforms.
