Released Jun 26, 2024.
  • newLaunched new back-end infrastructure 🚀 This work reduces reliance on Firebase, the main service that stores all Tana data. This major upgrade brings a host of improvements that unlocks future features such as mobile, better search, improved performance on large workspaces, greater API possibilities, and more. See the #announcement channel in Slack for more.
  • newAll-new voice memos for Tana Core subscribers 🎙️ To install it, look for the blue banner on the bottom of the sidebar, or check the (?) icon and find the voice memo button in the help menu pop-up. (Voice memo)
  • improvedIf you create a search under a tagged node, you can now right-click it and in the node editor bar, promote it to related content or to the supertag template. This gives you an easy way to customize the view of the node exactly the way you want, and means we can finally deprecate the use of this FAQ: https://tana.inc/faq/how-can-i-configure-the-view-of-a-search-node-that-exists-in-a-supertag-template Shoutout to Navigator Darren for providing the stopgap measure! (Supertags, Search nodes, Nodes and references)
  • improvedAdded support for search query FOR RELATIVE DATE THIS/NEXT/LAST YEAR (Search nodes, Dates and calendar nodes)
  • improvedYou can now paste Tana links (the URL to a node that looks like "app.tana.inc/?nodeid=xyz") in Tana and it automatically inputs the node as a reference (rather than pasting the URL) (Nodes and references)
  • improvedSelecting multiple nodes and starting an AI chat will now include all the selected nodes as context (Tana AI)
  • improvedAutofill should be better about using the same language as the user (Tana AI)
  • improvedWe only trigger sync to external calendar once every ten minutes or if you navigate to a day node in another week. Previously we synced a week's worth of events every time you went to a new daily node. (Calendar integration)
  • improvedWe expand breadcrumbs on nodes nested underneath a day node (Daily notes)
  • improvedIn the reference section, we now show the most recent references first. (Nodes and references)
  • infoUnlinked mentions have been deprecated - for now. We know this is a useful feature but we have to build it the Tana way and with this feature we haven't put the love in to make it great. For example, nodes called "Notes" would match with thousands of other non-relevant hits in the graph, which slows down performance and isn't particularly useful. Our goal is to bring it back much improved in the future! (Nodes and references)
  • fixedFixed bug with creating a new node in a search that uses DATE OVERLAPS. Now it will initialize new nodes with the correct date. (Search nodes)
  • fixedFixed bug where hard deleting a search that was a reference in related content would lead to deleting the original node (Related content, Search nodes)
  • fixedFixed bug with Chinese input right before or after a node reference (Nodes and references)
  • fixedFixed bug where prompt field in prompt workbench would sometimes be gone. Added a switch to turn on custom prompt from within prompt workbench. (Tana AI, AI for builders)
  • fixedNew audio captured in Chrome and Desktop App should now play in Safari. (Voice memo)
  • fixedGoogle Calendar sync will now only look for calendar events in workspaces that are set up to "Allow content from" for the root workspace (ie. nodes that would show up in a search node in your home workspace). (Calendar integration)
  • fixedRemoved context menu for external (not available) nodes to avoid confusion. (Nodes and references)
  • fixedFixed a bug where missing contextual data in rare cases would prevent a node from being displayed. (Nodes and references)
  • fixedFixed issue where on a node with two fields with the same field definition, sometimes the second field would be preferred for search or done state mapping. We now always look at the first field. (Fields, Search nodes)
  • fixedFixed bug where hidden fields did not show when they were AI processing. (Fields, Tana AI)
  • fixedFixed bug where we showed a popup for an AI key when you created a new tag in Tana Free (Plans, Tana AI)
  • fixedFixed bug where whole-day events would sometimes display as lasting two days in calendar view (Dates and calendar nodes)
  • fixedSquashed several rendering performance improvements (we know there are more, so if you're able to catch them on a screen recording and are able to reliably reproduce them, we are very interested to hear from you!)
  • fixedFixed bug where pure dates (with no time) in shared workspaces would also change depending on time zone. (Dates and calendar nodes, Workspaces)
  • fixedFixed issue where you could not start an AI chat at the workspace root (Tana AI)
  • fixed"Date fields to use" in calendar view within related content was not picking up user date fields. Now it is. (Related content, Views)
  • infoWe now show a warning banner if you use a reference to a live search in the related content config, and that search node includes PARENT and GRANDPARENT (Related content)
  • infoThe command line "Publish workspace" is now "Share workspace "name" as read only", to avoid confusion with Tana Publish. (Workspaces, Command line)
