v11.8.0b808 (7 Jul 2026)

Released 7 Jul 2026. Build number is 808.

Minor changes not necessarily warranting explicit mention in an aTbRef note:

AI/Natural Language Processing:
- MCP: if AI Integration is disabled, Claude and Gemini config files are no longer created if they do not already exist.
- Updated MCP protocol version in hope that this will please LM Studio.
Attribute Browser view:
- Restored logic for short title in the tab bar.
- View now updates after Quickstamp is used.
Export:
- HTML Export of notes with numerous paragraphs is now significantly faster.
- Control characters embedded in styled text could cause trouble when we generate HTML from the text: fix.
- Fixed an infinite recursion created by requesting $MarkupText of a note which is already exported at markup.
Gaudí View:
- Fixed two race conditions in Gaudí View, in which Tinderbox was excessively aggressive in keeping computation off the main thread.
Help:
- Updated release notes.
Import:
- Solved an unwanted exception when exploding notes by paragraph and setting the title from the first paragraph, if the final note does not end in a carriage return.
Map view:
- Extensive rewrite to the system that draws and animate links in map view. This has been a trouble spot over the years because managing the link layout objects has been a challenge, and it is a good test-case for some more ambitious refactoring. In complex map views in documents with numerous links, performance during drags should be significantly improved.
- Improved the placement of link arrows in map view, allowing them to deviate from strict orthogonality when the link curvature is significant near the end of the link.
- A recent fix in Map View caused a new crash when moving notes into a container. That is now handled correctly.
- Plots: bargraphs now draw the target line, if Target is specified.
Miscellaneous:
- Prevent a crash with making the text thumbnail of a note, if the note has no styled text and its $Text is not valid utf8.
- Corrected a layout error that cut off the checkbox text of "White Outlines" in Document Settings:Outlines.
- Handling of tinderbox:// urls should no longer be satisfied with switching to an existing tab of a map view of any ancestor of the desired note.
- Tab-separated-value (TSV) imports failed if quoted strings contained newline or tab characters. I believe these ought to be escaped as \n and \t, but Tinderbox now handles the case correctly.
- Addressed a crash in LayoutMap::Remove on heavily loaded systems.
- Fixed a crash when starting a new thumbnail while a previous thumbnail was still being generated.
- Tried to address file drag issues in Tahoe.
- The shape menu in the inspector failed when Tinderbox was localised to German or French.
- Resolved a pair of potential crashes when changing views or when updating a view layout while the view is being drawn.
- Resolved an export crash in old files that retain Latin-1 note names.
- Fixed another shutdown crash, as we need to hold a reference to TbxMap until all the LayoutMap structures have been deleted.
- Fixed a crash when editing agents. A race condition could occur when updating the agent state and the user interface simultaneously.
- Added fresh protection against control characters embedded in styled text (see especially Microsoft Word) being copied into HTML CDATA, where they can prevent documents from opening.
Table view:
- When the parent of a table view is the root document, the table was not correctly initialised when the document was reopened.
Text pane:
- A selection of up to 300 notes may be edited in the text pane. A larger selection displays the text pane shader and the count of selected notes.
