# Large desktop update coming soon
|
|
|
|
I haven't kept up with releases lately and thus the new one is quite big, it includes 8 new features, 3 security fixes, 19 improvements, and 29 bug fixes. Here's a summary of what to expect:
|
|
|
|
**Mermaid diagram support**
|
|
|
|
Mermaid was one of the most requested features, and it is finally here. The diagrams can be inserted using a fenced block, and all the diagrams supported by the library should be available, including Flow, Sequence, Gantt, Class, State and Pie diagrams.

|
|
**Word counter dialog**
|
|
|
|
A dialog is now available to provide statistics about the current note. It includes line, word and character count:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To open it, click on the post-it toolbar icon.
|
|
|
|
**Improved tag management**
|
|
|
|
Also included are several improvement to tags, such as the possibility to add or remove tags from multiple notes, improved sorting of tags in certain contexts, and various other fixes.
|
|
|
|
**Security fixes**
|
|
|
|
Joplin having to deal with potentially sensitive data, it is build with privacy and security in mind. We also try to fix any reported security issue as quickly as possible.
|
|
|
|
This release in particular includes a fix to an XSS vulnerability, which could have allowed an attacker, via a targetted attack and a specially crafted note, to exfiltrate user data. As far as we are aware, this flaw had not been exploited yet.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the geolocation service on the desktop application was previously using an http service to get the user location. We now use instead an https URL, which will increase privacy.
|
|
|
|
**Linux**
|
|
|
|
It is often more difficult to keep up with Linux due to the wide variety of distributions, desktop environments, and the differences between them from one version to the next.
|
|
|
|
We however try to keep it stable, and regularly get fixes and updates from Linux users. This release includes support for the --no-sandbox flag, required to get the app starting on certain systems, and an optimisation to Nextcloud and WebDAV sync, which could previously be very slow, using persistent connections.
|
|
|
|
The update is already available as a pre-release [on the GitHub release page](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/tag/v1.0.187), and should be available as a final release soon. |
