Release v4.3.0

This release brings many great new things to Zettlr. Besides the obvious batch of bug fixes, this update focuses on improved citation quality, and findability of your files in the file manager. Specifically, this update improves the file manager by allowing you to sort your workspaces and add colors to your folders. You can also close all standalone files or workspaces with a few clicks, if you so wish. In terms of citation support, Zettlr now shows a tooltip after some delay if you hover over a citation with your mouse, showing you the generated bibliography for those items to make sure you actually cite the correct work.

Besides that, you now get CSS autocompletion in the Custom CSS editor. The boot sequence of Zettlr is now much more resilient towards missing files, folders, or weird permission errors, so you should have a much better experience in volatile contexts. We also fixed a few potential security issues where unsanitized HTML was rendered in the main window that could possibly be abused by malicious actors.

GUI and Functionality

• Feature: Added a citation tooltip. When hovering over a citation cluster in your documents with your mouse, this will generate a small bibliography of just the items contained in the citation cluster and display it using the tooltip. This allows you to quickly check which item you cited exactly.
• Feature: The Custom CSS editor now offers autocomplete assistance (#6226).
• Feature: Added dedicated math code block syntax highlighting to add MathTeX to files without rendering (#6226).
• Feature: You can now close all standalone/root files as well as all workspaces from a new file manager context menu that opens via right-click onto the section headers or with a click on the corresponding button. In addition, you can collapse all folders with a simple click (#6209).
• Feature: You can now manually change the sorting of your workspaces. By default, Zettlr automatically sorts your workspaces by name. However, sometimes you may wish to change the ordering. To do so, use the new file manager context menu and select "Sort workspaces…". This will open a popover that allows you to change the workspace ordering using drag and drop. As soon as you overwrite the sort order manually, this will disable automatic sorting from here on. Newly opened workspaces will simply be appended at the end of the list of open workspaces. To re-enable automatic sorting of your workspaces, use the new setting in the file manager preferences, or click the corresponding button in the sort popover.
• Feature: You can now assign custom accent colors to folders across your workspaces to make them easier identifiable. This aids the existing custom icons that you can already use to differentiate folders. You can assign one of seven built-in colors to every directory: blue, purple, rose, red, orange, yellow, and green. For friends of Custom CSS: These are specified as CSS variables so that you can adjust them if you wish. The pattern is: --accent-<color>.
• Fixed potential crashes when standalone/root files or workspaces have been removed while Zettlr was closed (#6223). Recognizes PR #6225 by @SergioChan who started this effort. Previously, the re-indexing process when Zettlr boots would not check for the existence of open paths, causing crashes.
• Show citation menu when right-clicking on a non-rendered citation (#6213).
• Updated ja-JP translations (#6227; #6230; #6249).
• Updated zh-CN translations (#6243).
• Fixed an issue with improper HTML sanitization in the file preview tooltip, which would escape unusual HTML (such as KaTeX equations) instead of allowing it (#6221).
• Fixed an issue that might prevent the correct app icon to show up for the AppImage release of Zettlr.
• Re-enabled the broken System Verilog syntax highlighting. However, the code highlighting uses the Verilog parser, since no dedicated System Verilog parser is available, so there may be inconsistencies in highlighting.
• Allow more emojis in tags (#6202).
• Fix crashes when directories aren't accessible by the app (#6172).
• Improve autocorrect handling. Now, users can undo an unwanted replacement (Ctrl/Cmd+Z) without losing the inserted space or new line (#6210).
• Made the app more resilient in light of missing workspaces or root files. Now, crashes on startup due to missing standalone files or workspaces should be much less frequent and the app should be more stable.
• Fixed a regression that would overlay the default menu on top of the citation menu on non-macOS clients, rendering it unusable (#6213).
• Fixed an issue that would make code blocks exceed the size of the preview window in some instances.
• Fix footnote preview styling in footnote tooltips.
• Fixed custom export profiles not working during project exports (#6235).
• Fixed text color of disabled menu items on Linux and Windows.
• Fixed "Find in file" menu item (#6234).
• Improve file name extension handling (#6194).

Under the Hood

• The md2html utility function now has a new flag, sanitizeHTML that you can use to make the function properly sanitize potentially harmful HTML in situations where HTML shall be inserted into the DOM without endangering the display of special elements such as equations.
• The app now sanitizes HTML in more cases where it is inserted into the DOM. This preemptively prevents attacks using malicious HTML in the table of contents, the print window, and footnote tooltip rendering. Note that this does not apply when copying Markdown as HTML, since in this case we expect the user wishes to retain every bit of HTML (also, in that case, they usually have seen the code, making possible attacks unlikely).
• Updated various code syntax highlighting parsers from the legacy mode to the corresponding dedicated parsers (#6226).
• Since JSON.stringify is sensitive to object insertion order, we switched the detection logic whether directory settings are all on default to assert.deepStrictEqual. This means that we now compare the values of the properties instead of their ordering.
• Harden the TableEditor by properly sanitizing possibly unsafe HTML using the new sanitizeHTML option on the nodeToHTML function (via md2html).
