What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

##### 26.9.1

- Pasting or dropping a Markdown file into the note edit panel now asks whether
  to add it as a new note or insert it as an attachment
  (for [#3721](https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/issues/3721))
- Added a `Username` field to the LanguageTool settings so LanguageTool Premium
  accounts, which authenticate with a username and API key together, can be used
  for grammar and style checking (for [#3718](https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/issues/3718), thank you @gregoreficint)
- Text inside code blocks, inline code, bold, italic and link text can now be
  selected with the mouse in the note preview panel, instead of only being
  selectable by dragging over the surrounding text
  (for [#3720](https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/issues/3720))
