[Announcement] The next major version is under alpha test

[windingwind]

Hi,

I am the developer of this plugin. Thanks for your support of my work!

I am currently working on the migration for the coming Zotero 7. During the migration:

• All issues will be suspended and not replied to (unless they are urgent);
• We still accept PRs, but please let me know what you are going to do before you start working on the PR;

The migration is expected to last for at least a month, starting from February 6, 2023.

Thanks for your understanding!

Best,
windingwind

It's almost a total rewrite... Took longer than I expected and I still need some time to make the first alpha available.

I would be very happy if someone are willing to join and work with me... But currently, I have to do it on my own.

Thanks for your patience!

Glad to announce to all of you that the first v1.0.0 alpha is finally there! See https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-better-notes/releases/tag/1.0.0-0 for installation.

There have been very, very fundamental changes to this plugin. Most of the features we have in the previous versions are kept to the most. However, due to API changes, most of the note templates may not work for the coming new version anymore. The good news is: you can now write note templates with MarkDown and preview them in real time.

Note that there will be some differences between the alpha/beta version and the final releases:

• alpha/beta versions always pop up a hint when syncing is triggered.
• alpha/beta versions may use more resources(memory, CPU).
• there are no ensurances to your data security with alpha/beta versions.

We strongly suggest you create a new profile for testing the alpha version of this plugin.

Welcome any suggestions and bug reports!

谢谢更新！作者大大辛苦！
For 1.0.0-6：
1、安装插件后，不会弹出 “重启”提示，（试了一次）；
2、可以导出md文件，但字数多的笔记，导出成功率不高，依然会 “未响应”；
3、关于同步，字数少的笔记，可以实现双向同步更新，但是，字数多的笔记，只要点击更新，就会“未响应”，100%；
4、插入自带模板 不报错了，但不显示内容，为空。

3、关于同步，字数少的笔记，可以实现双向同步更新，但是，字数多的笔记，只要点击更新，必须等待，不能有任何操作，否则必然“未响应”，等待3min，可以实现双向同步更新，（3500字的笔记）。

现在插件安装/更新后不需要重启。

2、可以导出md文件，但字数多的笔记，导出成功率不高，依然会 “未响应”；
3、关于同步，字数少的笔记，可以实现双向同步更新，但是，字数多的笔记，只要点击更新，就会“未响应”，100%；

烦请提供一个导出失败的笔记样例/md样例，我测试一下

4、插入自带模板 不报错了，但不显示内容，为空。

请确认操作流程。菜单栏中的是“插入到工作区笔记”，要插入在当前笔记内，请从笔记编辑器上方齿轮按钮菜单选择 插入模板到光标。

新版本实际上不包含任何Item或text类的自带模板，以前版本的模板可能会需要更改。
