25.12.4

  • Fixed an issue where external changes to recently edited notes were silently
    ignored instead of showing the diff dialog (for #3366)
    • When a note was edited within the last 60 seconds and then changed externally,
      small changes (≤8 characters difference) would be ignored without notification
    • The similarity check is now skipped for recently edited notes to ensure the
      diff dialog is always shown, preventing potential data loss
    • Notes that haven't been edited for a while continue to auto-reload silently
      for small external changes as intended

  • Try to fix PDF export not generating color output on some computers
    • The printer color mode is now explicitly set to color at multiple strategic points during PDF export

  • Fixed PDF export from markdown preview now renders in color instead of grayscale
    (for #3399)
    • The printer color mode is now explicitly set to color when exporting notes as PDF
  • Added comprehensive protection against overwriting notes with empty or corrupted content
    (for #3400)
    • Notes with more than 100 bytes of content are now protected from being overwritten by empty files
    • Protection applies when loading notes from disk (updateNoteTextFromDisk)
    • Protection applies when creating notes from files (createFromFile)
    • Protection applies when writing notes to disk (storeNoteTextFileToDisk)
    • Protection applies when storing note text in memory (storeNewText)
    • Additional safeguards prevent loading files that have suspiciously shrunk by more than 90%
    • Warning messages are logged when protection is triggered to help with troubleshooting
    • This prevents data loss from file corruption, sync conflicts, external program errors, and accidental deletions
    • Small notes under 100 bytes can still be intentionally cleared without restrictions
