Obsidian 1.15 is now available! Some highlights:

1. Mermaid diagrams use our new rendering engine, Pele, which renders up to 500 times faster and uses your theme's colors and fonts.
2. Voice capture on iOS: record and transcribe voice notes as you speak, even from the Lock Screen.
4. PDF export on mobile.
5. Smarter list editing: indenting or moving a list item now moves nested items too.
6. Accent-insensitive search: cafe matches café in suggestions.
7. Community plugins load faster when the app starts.

Obsidian 1.15.1 is now available for early access!

- Search is revamped with faster results, Relevance sort, and accent-insensitive matching.
- New Android widgets! View notes on your home screen.
- Web Viewer on mobile. Turn it on in Core plugins to open web pages from within Obsidian.

Dozens of performance improvements and fixes across the app:

- On desktop, the workspace now appears right away while Obsidian starts, with start-up progress in the status bar instead of a loading screen.
- Large canvases now open, pan, and zoom much faster.
- Smart lists prevents over-indenting list items.
- New vaults no longer show the ribbon.
- Live Preview: Opening a note no longer shows the Markdown syntax at the cursor (e.g. the ## of a heading on the first line) until you move the cursor or start typing.
- Hold Ctrl/Cmd while picking a vault from the sidebar to replace the current window instead of opening a new one.
- iOS Voice capture now starts a new line when you pause speaking for 2 seconds.
- Android: Obsidian starts faster in vaults with large hidden folders, such as .git.

Pele is a fast, beautiful, open source renderer for Mermaid diagrams we created for the next version of Obsidian.

You can already try it in the Pele playground and integrate it into your own apps.

This is Pele, my new rendering library for diagrams and charts, compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax.

- 100-500× faster than mermaid.js
- 6× smaller bundle
- No dependencies
- Easy to theme
- Responsive to device width

In pursuit of making Obsidian insanely fast and cohesively designed, I always found the Mermaid library to be too big, too slow, and too hard to theme. Pele will be the new renderer in the next version of Obsidian, but you can start using it now.

Pele [ˈpɛlɛ] is named after the goddess of volcanoes and fire. It's open source under the MIT license. Try the playground!
