HedgeDoc - Collaborative markdown editor

Releases

HedgeDoc 1.8.1

Click here to read the release notes

Enhancements

  • Speed up yarn install in production mode (as performed by bin/setup) by marking frontend-only dependencies as dev-dependencies. This also reduces the size of the docker container
  • Speed up the frontend-build by using esbuild instead of terser to minify JavaScript
  • Improve behavior of the ‘Quote’, ‘List’, ‘Unordered List’ and ‘Check List’ buttons in the editor to automatically apply to the complete first and last line of the selection

Bugfixes

  • Correct the 1.8.0 release notes to state that CVE-2021-29475 has been fixed since HedgeDoc 1.5.0.
  • Fix crash on startup when useSSL or csp.upgradeInsecureRequests is enabled (thanks to @mdegat01 for reporting)
  • Automatically enable protocolUseSSL when useSSL is also enabled
  • Fix the ‘Quote’, ‘List’, ‘Unordered List’ and ‘Check List’ buttons in the editor to not duplicate content when only parts of a line are selected (thanks to @AnomalRoil for reporting)
  • Fix click handler for numbered task lists (thanks to @xoriade for reporting)

HedgeDoc 1.8.0

This release fixes multiple security issues. We recommend upgrading as soon as possible.

Please note: This release dropped support for Node 10, which is end-of-life since April 2021. You now need at least Node 12 to run HedgeDoc, but we recommend running the latest LTS release.

Security Fixes

We also published an advisory for CVE-2021-29475: PDF export allows arbitrary file reads,
which has already been fixed since HedgeDoc 1.5.0.

Features

  • Database migrations are now automatically applied on application startup
    The separate .sequelizerc configuration file is no longer necessary and can be safely deleted
  • A Prometheus-endpoint is now available at /metrics, exposing the same stats as /status in addition to various Node.js performance figures
  • Add a config option to require authentication in FreeURL mode (#755 by @nidico)

Enhancements

  • Removed dependency on external imgur library
  • HTML language tags are now set up in a way that stops Google Translate from translating note contents while editing
  • Removed yahoo.com from the default content security policy
  • New translations for Bulgarian, Persian, Galician, Hebrew, Hungarian, Occitan and Brazilian Portuguese
    Updated translations for Arabic, English, Esperanto, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish and Traditional Chinese Thanks to all translators!
  • Various dependency updates

Bugfixes

  • Improve readability of diagrams & embeddings in night-mode
  • Use the default template for new notes in FreeURL mode
  • Fix frontend-crash in slide-mode if no slideOptions are present in the frontmatter

HedgeDoc 1.7.0

Click here to read the release notes

We have renamed to HedgeDoc! 🎉
Many thanks to Éric Gaspar who designed our new logo!
Have a look at our new website (which also explains the reasoning behind the renaming) at https://hedgedoc.org

This is probably the last release in the 1.x series. Stay tuned for 2.0, scheduled for release next year.

Please note: This release dropped support for Node 8, which is end-of-life since January 2020. You now need at least Node 10.13 to run HedgeDoc, but we recommend running the latest LTS release.

Please note: If you use a reverse proxy and TLS, make sure it sets the X-Forwarded-Proto header correctly, otherwise you will encounter login-issues. Our docs have example configs for common reverse proxies.

  • Add fix for missing deletion of notes on user-deletion request
  • Fix relative path for fetching the style when set
