0.87

Dendron 0.87 has sprouted 🌱

Breaking changes: We updated the airtableId format to be a dictionary instead of a single value. This makes it possible to export a single note to multiple tables.

If you are using v2 of the airtable pod, you can migrate to the new version by following the instructions here.

• More information in the RFC on standardizing source-field mapping for Pods

Self Contained Vaults: We are now in early preview of self contained vaults. This lets you use and share your Dendron vaults without the need of a workspace.

If you are interested in trying this out, please fill out this survey and we'll add you to early-preview where we'll be holding discussions and offering support. We'll also send you specialized instructions for how to set up self contained vaults!

• More information in in our RFC about self contained vaults

Speed Improvements: Dendron: Show Preview refreshes faster and editing larger workspaces is more responsive.

This release also includes a number of fixes and improvements, including a new command to aid in creating and reading backup files.

• More information in our documentation on open backup.
