# Changelog
|
|
|
|
## Unreleased
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
|
|
- **Markitdown not detected on macOS** (#16) — discovery now probes versioned Homebrew Pythons (e.g. `python3.11`), pipx venvs (`~/.local/pipx/venvs/markitdown`), and always falls back even when an absolute Python path is configured
|
|
- **Install button fails under PEP 668** (#16) — "Install Markitdown" creates a plugin-local `.venv` instead of `pip install` into Homebrew's externally-managed Python
|
|
- Obsidian GUI PATH gaps — spawn env prepends `/opt/homebrew/bin`, `/usr/local/bin`, and `~/.local/bin`
|
|
- Bundled Python scripts are refreshed when their contents change (community plugin updates no longer keep stale `install_package.py`)
|
|
|
|
## 2.1.0
|
|
|
|
Feature release with 11 new capabilities and a critical Python detection fix.
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
|
|
- **Python detection on macOS/Windows** (#13) — GUI apps (Obsidian/Electron) don't inherit shell PATH, so the plugin now searches well-known Python paths: Homebrew, Python.org Framework installs, Windows AppData, and Microsoft Store locations
|
|
- **Settings field focus loss** — Python path input no longer triggers dependency checks on every keystroke (debounced to 1.5s)
|
|
- **Empty path crash** — clearing the Python path field no longer crashes `spawn()` with an empty string
|
|
- **Stale metadata detection** — `check_install.py` now verifies `from markitdown import MarkItDown` actually works, not just that package metadata exists
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
|
|
- **Drag-and-drop conversion** — drop supported files directly into the editor to auto-convert and insert a wiki-link
|
|
- **URL/YouTube conversion** — new "Convert URL to Markdown" command for YouTube transcripts and web pages
|
|
- **Conversion preview** — preview converted markdown in a modal before saving (Save/Cancel)
|
|
- **Post-conversion hooks** — auto-add YAML frontmatter (source, date, converter) and custom tags
|
|
- **Custom filename template** — configure output names with `{filename}`, `{ext}`, `{date}`, `{datetime}` variables
|
|
- **Recursive folder conversion** — "Include subfolders" toggle preserves directory structure in output
|
|
- **Conversion history** — "View conversion history" command shows past conversions with success/fail badges
|
|
- **Resolved path hint** — settings now show which Python path is actually being used
|
|
- **Troubleshooting UI** — when Python/markitdown isn't found, shows tried paths, download links, and pip install commands with a copy button
|
|
- **Unit tests** — 30 Jest tests covering Python discovery, path utilities, and edge cases
|
|
- **BRAT beta channel** — GitHub Actions release workflow with `manifest-beta.json` for early access
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
|
|
- Python discovery prefers the first Python where markitdown actually imports over one where it's absent
|
|
- Settings UI reorganized with new "Post-conversion" section
|
|
- `check_install.py` validates against an allowlist of package names
|
|
|
|
## 2.0.0
|
|
|
|
Ground-up rewrite addressing security, architecture, and feature gaps.
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
|
|
- Eliminated shell injection vulnerabilities — replaced `exec()` with `spawn()` using argument arrays and `shell: false`
|
|
- Bundled Python wrapper scripts use `argparse` with no string interpolation of user input
|
|
- Path traversal prevention in output folder, image directory, and image format handling
|
|
- Prototype pollution protection in plugin arguments
|
|
- Error messages sanitized to strip absolute paths before display
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
|
|
- **Image extraction** from PDFs and EPUBs — base64 data URIs decoded to `{filename}-images/` subfolder
|
|
- **Plugin arguments editor** — key-value pair UI in settings for third-party Markitdown plugins
|
|
- **Context menu** — right-click "Convert to Markdown" on supported file types in the file explorer
|
|
- **Setup wizard** — guided modal for Python detection and Markitdown installation
|
|
- **Batch progress bar** — visual progress indicator for folder conversions
|
|
- **Python path fallback** — automatic `python3` detection on macOS/Linux when `python` is unavailable
|
|
- **Live settings refresh** — changing Python path immediately re-checks dependencies
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
|
|
- Decomposed monolithic `main.ts` (735 lines) into 12 focused modules under `src/` and `python/`
|
|
- Unicode support via `PYTHONUTF8=1` environment variable
|
|
- Async file I/O in modals (replaced `writeFileSync`/`unlinkSync` with `fs.promises`)
|
|
- Updated build target to ES2020, TypeScript 5.x strict mode
|
|
- Minimum Obsidian version remains 0.15.0
|
|
|
|
### Removed
|
|
|
|
- Docling converter (deferred to a separate plugin)
|
|
- `child_process.exec()` — zero imports remaining in codebase
|
|
|
|
