Numerous bug fixes.

Beta testing massive update

New

• Added indexing properties as part of the link counting

Updated

• Major rewrite of the internal indexer - significant performance improvements
• Removed the caching tuning feature - this wasn't proving to be of help in performance

Fixed

• Fixed max items that can be displayed when reviewing references.

• Update of project dependencies

• Update of dependencies and a new version of esbuild
• minor bug fixes from when properties were added (though this doesn't really make SNW work with properties properly yet)

Hopefully, this will make the new version install on mobile devices.

New

• Breadcrumbs: Add context around links inside the previews of SNW. Many thanks for PR by @@ivan-lednev (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/pull/90)
• Respect Obsidian's global excluded files. Many thanks for PR by @sk91 (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/pull/88)
• Ghost links now supported: This is a link to a file that doesnt exist in the vault. A counter now appears to such "ghosted" links. (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/67)(https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/26)
• Added two new frontmatter properties to control if SNW counters are shown in canvas: snw-canvas-exclude-preview: true and snw-canvas-exclude-edit: true

Updates

• All core libraries updated to Obsidian 1.3.0
• BIG CHANGE: The internal link engine has been fine tuned to not be case-sensitive, but this required massive changes to the way links are resolved. Hopefully this will improve the accuracy of SNW reference counters. This should resolve iseue (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/75)(https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/34)(https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/64)

Bug Fixes

• Fix to styling conflict with better-fn (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/93)
• Fix to block reference counters not formatting properly when in lists (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/89)
• Fix to Header reference does not render when header includes a colon (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/94)
• Fix Indicators don't appear correctly on tasks as well (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/39)
• Links or embeds pointing to their own page will now be included in reference counts. (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/60) (https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/77)
• Fix so that SNW doesnt run in the kanban plugin

New:

• Add highlight to reference links and ensure they're visible

Much gratitude to @erichalldev for his hard work to learn this crazy code base and also to add a new feature. Very much appreciated!

Fixes:

• https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/pull/69 Typos
• https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/pull/80 Fixing when multiple reference counters should appear

This update includes:

• 1.1.1 Fixes for Obsidian 1.1.5
• An experimental feature: ghost links. These are links to documents that don't exist, the counter will appear. This has had very little testing and might not be developed further, but feedback is welcome.

Added setting control for the number of files displayed in a popup or sidebar

This can help with performance when there are MANY links.

Hope to have resolved this issue with excludedFile: https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/48

Also small tweak for this issue. Not a fix to obsidian, but perhaps it will work as a stop-gap: https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/45

Tnx for this report: https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/42

many thanks to @liamcain for all the great feedback to improve SNW's code.

Code improvements based on the helpful feedback of the Obsidian dev team.

Also first attempt to address the bug report: https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/38

This is a big internal update to SNW that enables more control over where SNW operates.

New:

• In Settings: configure if SNW counters are active on startup for desktop and mobile. For example, this allows you to have SNW active on the desktop and make it inactive on mobile.
• Command palette: toggle SNW counters on and off. When used, it is valid for the current session. Otherwise, the on/off state is controlled based on their startup settings in Settings.
• Frontmattter exclusions: the following can be added to a file's front matter to provide more control to SNW's behavior
  • add snw-index-exclude: true - prevents SNW from including this file in its index. This means any links to this file will not display block counts
  • add snw-file-exclude: true - prevents any block reference counters from being displayed on the current page. Basically turns off SNW for the file. NOTE: This will not affect embedded links. Embed files must have this YAML property set as well to have its counters excluded.

Partially addresses issue: https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds/issues/33

Some mobile devices have small screens. We added a feature to disable the counter that shows in the gutter in some cases, that way the space taken by the gutter counter is not needed.

This can be toggled off and on in settings, so each user can decide if they want this feature or not.

It is off by default.
