Release notes


2024 / wk 45-46 / v. 359-362

  • ImprovedUpdated look and feel of template preview
  • ImprovedGreatly improved CPU/GPU usage on search nodes in related content
  • FixedSearching for a field that is of datatype=checkbox without checking the box will now only return nodes with that field unchecked. Previously every node even without this field would be returned. Oops.
  • FixedOnly show 'Unshare' for published read-only workspaces on the home node.
  • FixedFix system theme dark/light mode on desktop app

2024 / wk 44 / v. 356-358

  • ImprovedThe speed of opening big lists and tables are now much improved.
  • FixedFixed issue where some nodes in the sidebar was default expanded
  • FixedFix issue where second right click didn't open native context menu on nodes in fields
  • FixedFixed bug where a search node with "DATE OVERLAPS" would sometimes crash the panel
  • FixedWe don't allow you to easily set an icon on the system-level supertag anymore (which caused every supertag without an icon to get that icon)
  • FixedTemplate bundle installer popup screen no longer closes if you click outside the popup.
  • FixedFixed an issue where template installer could sometimes show up off-center and outside of the viewport
  • FixedPutting a filter on a non-search node with references would actually remove the references from that node 😬 Now we don't do this anymore.
  • InfoInitial sorting of groups when Grouping by Workspace now follows the order of the workspaces in the sidebar. (Note that this is not responsive, if you want it updated, you need to turn off grouping and turn it back on again)
  • InfoWe now hide first/last page button in pager menu if there's less than 5 pages
  • InfoWe have renamed the search operator "FROM CAPTURE" to "FROM MOBILE" (the old one will still work for backwards compatibility)
  • InfoThere is now a warning in the supertag config if you have some owned nodes in a supertag that cause Tana to create a lot of new nodes for every new tagged node. We are still trying to refine this so if you get a warning you think is surprising/unreasonable, reach out to the team.

2024 / wk 43 / v. 354-355

  • ImprovedSidebar pinned nodes and workspaces improvements: 1. Expand/collapse pinned nodes, 2. Distinguish template tags and added create new instance button, 3. Remove unpin button, available from right click, 4. Unified appearance and functionality, 5. Minor layout and style tweaks for clarity
  • ImprovedWe renamed "Remove reference" to "Unpin" on pinned nodes in the context menu, and removed the "Rename" option, since it did not work well with complex node names.
  • ImprovedWe made it easier to remove external references directly from the preview when sharing a Tana Template
  • ImprovedRe-ordered instance supertag context menu. Now we show 1. Instance options, 2. Navigation targets 3. Tag options
  • FixedNodes in related content were not showing the correct context menu on right-click. Now they are!
  • FixedFixed bug where right-clicking on bullet in column header in table did not show context menu
  • FixedRe-introduced: Right click when node options context menu is already open opens the native context menu. Now we can fix our spellng errors again!
  • FixedFixed issue with field not getting focus when clicking hidden field. Sorry and you're welcome!

2024 / wk 42 / v. 353

  • ImprovedWhen you right-click a node now, you see a context menu instead of the toolbar. We've also added context menus on right-click to several places, like related content headers, panel headers, and breadcrumb items.
  • FixedWe fixed keyboard shortcuts for Open daily node (ctrl+shift+d) and Next/Previous calendar node (ctrl+[/ctrl+]) when on a reference
  • FixedDragging images to upload a new banner to a node was broken, it's fixed now.
  • FixedFixed at least two edge cases where the new implementation of default field values in supertags broke adjacent workflows
  • InfoWe have removed the Cluster nodes command, which was an early experiment of what was possible with AI and embeddings. We might bring back a better/more robust version in the future.

2024 / wk 39-41 / v. 344-352

  • NewWe have fullscreen preview! Expand image nodes by hitting <space> while it's focused. Use the previous/next buttons to navigate to the previous or next image in the list.
  • ImprovedFullscreen preview now supports video nodes, in addition to image nodes. It works just like images, and will autoplay when viewed.
  • ImprovedWe have simplified the transcript format to just be plain nodes instead of being visualized as a "chat".
  • FixedFixed bug where auto-init from ancestor field would create a reference to a an inline date instead of inserting the actual inline date.
  • Fixed@-mentions will now only show recently opened nodes from workspaces you have "allowed content from".
  • FixedDragging cards and columns in a grouped Cards view should now properly stick to the cursor position. This was looking a bit different across browsers but now should work the same in Chromium based browsers, Safari and Firefox.

2024 / wk 38 / v. 341-343

  • ImprovedWe decrease the font size of the panel header for very long node names
  • ImprovedThe sorting for at-mentions no longer penalizes nodes with title expressions, but we slightly boost nodes whose name (not title) start with the same string that you searched for
  • ImprovedEnsure that recently created nodes show up in the at-mentions immediately
  • FixedFix bug that prevented newer Vimeo videos with longer IDs from embedding

2024 / wk 37 / v.338-340

  • ImprovedAsk AI via the command line now uses GPT-4o, and a lot of places where we were using GTP3.5 by default have been upgraded to GPT4o-mini, which is smarter, faster and cheaper. We are no longer using GPT3.5 by default anywhere, but it is still available for manual configuration in an Ask AI command. We have therefore removed the GPT4 switch from the UI.
  • ImprovedWe've made some changes to AI prompts and models for field suggestions, suggest table columns, AI fields, autocomplete etc which should give more stable results.
  • ImprovedReference section with only unlinked references default to be collapsed. The same for reference section on a calendar node that has a related content section.
  • ImprovedCheckboxes got a round of polish
  • FixedSome searches for a text string could give so many results that the server timed out getting them, causing the search node to look empty or have too few results. Now this search is faster and stays within its 10s timeout.
  • FixedFixed bug where Fetch Youtube Transcript command node was not working.
  • FixedFixed bug where moving an image to banner would sometimes break. (Ryan, this should do it. If still broken, send memes)

2024 / wk 36 / v. 337

  • ImprovedWe no longer list nodes that only contain a single inline reference in @-mentions
  • FixedFixed bug where a workspace would sometimes not show all of the available options on autocomplete with @-mention
  • FixedFixed diacritics when using autocomplete in a field, so for example typing Eric will show you Éric as an option
  • FixedCleaned up duplicate Event URL fields created by Google Calendar integration, and switched to using system field (this is stored internally, use debug node to see)

2024 / wk 35 / v. 334-336

  • ImprovedThere is now a more robust uploading of AI generated images, and we show a visual loading indicator for AI generated images in banner and image nodes while images are being uploaded to our server.
  • ImprovedSignificantly improved speed for Option from supertag fields with very many options.
  • FixedNo more distracting color blocks behind images! it's finally back to the grey it once was.
  • FixedFixed bug where within search results, nodes in Option from supertag fields did not show the suggestion to tag new nodes.
  • FixedWhen you right-click on a banner and say "Use on all nodes tagged #x", we used to move the image to the tag banner, meaning that if you removed it from the tag, it was gone from the original node as well. We now leave it in place on the original node, even if you set it on a tag.
  • FixedRelated content can now be resized in Firefox
  • FixedFix bad-looking layout with banner on supertag pages
  • FixedCard drag and drop will now stay under your cursor again instead of having a big offset
  • InfoA command line option to 'Report results of last autocompleter search'. This will send it to Tana and put it in your clipboard so you can paste it into Slack for debugging.

2024 / wk 34 / v. 331-333

  • Improved💨 General speed improvements. We have made several changes to slightly improve your Tana speed (rendering fewer DOM nodes, cleaner panels). Tana should feel slightly snappier ⚡️
    • Panels
  • FixedFor certain AI models, the system was ignoring users request to use their own OpenAI API keys. This 🔒 has been fixed. Your keys will now fit 🔑
  • FixedWe fixed validation of OpenAI keys to support longer keys. (OpenAI API sk-proj key input is now accepted)
  • FixedWe now display the keyboard shortcuts for available commands when you right click an inline ref to see the dropdown menu. (Thanks to Chuck for the suggestion.)
  • FixedWe fixed some issues with URLs in Tana Paste: We no longer automatically convert URLs that are not explicitly formatted as markdown links into URL nodes in Tana Paste.
  • InfoUpdate August 22, 2024: Additional release notes below ⬇️
  • InfoBased on feedback from the community, we are bringing back unlinked references!
  • NewEvery node has a new system field available called "Path", which shows where a node lives. Uses an interactive breadcrumb widget in list view.
  • ImprovedThe reference section on calendar nodes will now only show exact mentions of that date object. For example: only nodes with week objects will show up on week nodes, which excludes date objects on other scales (year, month or day). Day nodes will capture all mentions of that day, including ones with a time specified.
  • FixedFixed Google calendars being deselected on rare occasions
  • FixedPushed delayed Windows version of the desktop app; download links should be updated shortly.
