24.11.0 - 2024-11-23

Release Notes

New Features

• Optionally preserve modified time of exported files

  Add a new argument --preserve-mtime to keep the original modified time attribute of notes being exported, instead of setting them to the current time.

  Contribution made by Davis Davalos-DeLosh. (#154, #204)

Changes

• Bump to the minimum supported Rust version to 1.80.0

  Obsidian-export now uses std::sync::LazyLock instead of lazy_static, which was only stabilized in Rust 1.80.0.
  This change made it possible to drop the external dependency on lazy_static, though as a result of this, compiling with older versions will no longer be possible.

Fixes

• Don't escape square brackets in math expressions

  The upgrade to pulldown-cmark 0.11 (see Backwards-incompatible Changes) includes official support for LaTeX-style math expressions.
  With the markdown parser supporting this syntax natively, math expressions are now processed correctly without edge-cases. (#14, #252)

Backwards-incompatible Changes

• Upgrade pulldown-cmark from 0.9 to 0.12

  pulldown-cmark is the Markdown/CommonMark parser that is used to read and convert notes (together with pulldown-cmark-to-cmark).

  For end-users that call the obsidian-export CLI this upgrade will be mostly transparent, except that Math blocks are now properly processed without getting mangled.

  People who use the library directly may face more significant breaking changes if they have custom postprocessors, as pulldown-cmark's events have gone through various breaking changes.
