v2.1.0latest

This is the first stable release of the v2.1 citation workflow: the References Sidebar, in-text citation rendering, the Citation Popover, and the Cited By Sidebar, alongside Zotero 10 support and multi-library scope. The changes below cover what landed since beta.3; for the full tour, read the release post.

What's New since beta.3

Pandoc engine performance

The built-in Pandoc engine now loads about three times faster: a 291 ms median load drops to 97 ms, and the JavaScript memory spike that came with each load is gone. If a cached engine binary is corrupted, ZotLit now detects it, clears it, and shows the install offer again.

Colored note-import highlights

Use colored highlight syntax, a new opt-in setting under Settings › Note import, converts highlights from Zotero note imports into emoji-based colored highlight syntax. It covers six highlight colors. A highlight with an unsupported color, or text that would break the syntax, stays as HTML instead. Annotation backlinks are preserved either way.

Bug Fixes since beta.3

• Fixed recurring notices about database read-mode fallbacks. ZotLit now routes you to Companion installation or stale-data troubleshooting instead of repeating the notice.
• Fixed Pandoc export connecting to the wrong Zotero HTTP port when more than one Zotero instance is running. The port now resolves from the active profile.
