Updates

BibLib v1.7.0 By Callum Alpass

Major Improvements

• Edit Literature Note - You can now edit existing literature notes with a proper modal! Just run the “Edit Literature Note” command when viewing a note. It loads all your existing data and lets you choose what templates to regenerate when saving (citekey, frontmatter templates, or note body).
• Quality of Life Updates
  • Favorite Languages - Set up your commonly used languages to appear at the top of language dropdowns instead of scrolling through the entire list every time.
  • Custom Default Fields - Configure which additional fields always appear in the bibliography modal.
  • Nicer Month Display - Month dropdowns now show “01, 02, 03…“.
    This release makes editing literature notes much smoother and fixes several annoying bugs that affected day-to-day use. The additional fields bug in particular was a major pain point that’s now resolved.
