Release v26.7.0

26.7.0

• Fixed leaving Vim mode insert mode with the Escape key on KDE Plasma 6.7
  when the alternate-character keyboard overlay is enabled
  (for #3647)
• Fixed quitting QOwnNotes on macOS when the menu bar item is enabled, so the
  application no longer minimizes back to the menu bar during quit or session
  shutdown and blocks shutting down the Mac (for #3651)

Release v26.6.11

26.6.11

• Fixed the Qt 5 Ubuntu Launchpad release container by pinning it to Ubuntu
  24.04, because newer Ubuntu CDBS packages no longer ship the qmake/makefile
  classes required by the Qt 5 source package build
• Fixed the OBS release container osc workaround so it no longer corrupts
  existing Python import importlib statements, and made the OBS release
  scripts stop immediately when checkout fails

Release v26.6.10

26.6.10

• Added libsecret to the Linux build dependencies so qtkeychain can use the
  Secret Service backend instead of falling back to KWallet on non-KDE desktops
  (for #3650)
• The Insert checkbox list item action now automatically uses the existing
  Create checkbox list behavior when multiple lines are selected, so selected
  lines are converted consistently with the dedicated list action
  (for #3610)

Release v26.6.9

26.6.9

• Cleaned up remaining Qt 6 build warning noise in the application and test
  builds, including generated KWallet proxy and fortify warning output
  (for #3648)
• Fixed the missing internal bookmarks.svg icon resource used by the note
  bookmark menu, so QOwnNotes no longer logs a startup warning for that icon
  (for #3649)
• Improved secret storage fallback handling by keeping legacy SimpleCrypt
  encryption compatible with pre-qtkeychain secrets and migrating old plaintext
  secret settings to encrypted storage even when the desktop keychain is
  unavailable (for #3597)

Release v26.6.8

26.6.8

• Added Expand all and Collapse all context menu actions to heading
  items in the Headings panel, remembering the in-memory expansion state per
  note until the application is closed (for #2784)
• Added Adwaita Light and Adwaita Dark editor color schemes
  (for #3299)
• Added optional editor settings Show whitespace markers and
  Show line ending markers (for #3253)
• There was a new release of the QOwnNotes Web Companion browser extension
  2026.6.1
  • The extension popup no longer failed to open in Firefox after the Quasar 3 migration.
    The background script still used the old bexBackground() wrapper, which became a
    no-op in Quasar App Vite 3, so the background bridge was never created. The popup waited forever for the bridge connection and therefore never mounted its UI.
    The background script now uses the new createBridge() API
