v0.10.1 (2020-11-18)

essentially a prerelease for v0.11.0: pushed out for urgent bugfixes during exam/study weeks when there's no time to code a full release.

note that this means new features have not yet been fully documented and may not be fully ready for ideal use yet. however, things overall will work more reliably than v0.10.0.

• improved: use an svg for the scroll-to-top button.
• improved: use a better-matching icon and add transitions to the property layout toggle.

v0.10.0 (2020-11-02)

a flexibility update.

• new: mods can be reordered in the menu to control what order styling/scripts are added/executed in. higher up on the list = higher priority of application = loaded last in order to override others. (excluding the core, which though pinned to the top of the list is always loaded first so theming variables can be modified.)

• new: a core mod option for a default page id/url (all new windows will load it instead of the normal "most recent" page).
• new: css variables for increasing line spacing/paragraph margins.

• bugfix: font sizing applied to overlays/previews.

  • new: more readable line spacing.
