Notesnook Desktop v3.3.11 brings improved diacritic-agnostic search, better fuzzy matching for attachments search, desktop auto-update control, YouTube embed fix, and security patches.
Desktop fixes
- Disabling auto-update in settings now also disables the update checker. The app will no longer check for updates automatically.
- An issue with YouTube embeds not working was addressed in previous releases; however, “Error 153” persisted on Desktop. This has now been fully resolved.
Search improvements
Support for diacritic-agnostic search was introduced in v3.0.18. However, it was not handled correctly in the revamped search experience. This has now been fixed. Additionally, a bug that caused searches with certain special characters (such as [ or \) to return empty results or crash the app has been resolved.
Special word separator handling has also been improved across all areas using fuzzy search (including notebooks, tags, and attachments). For example, searching for “a b” will now return variations like “a_b” and “a-b”.
Security patches
We received two security reports this month, both of which have been addressed:
- Note titles were not properly escaped in the web and desktop diff viewer. This could allow malicious HTML in user-generated titles to execute. Titles are now safely escaped before rendering. (Thanks Nolan42 for responsible disclosure!)
- Notes created via the web clipper could include malicious scripts within iframes. This issue has been fixed by securely sandboxing the clipped content. (Thanks Nolan42 for responsible disclosure!)
No action is required beyond updating to this version.
Other fixes
- Escape command titles in command palette
- Fix editor title temporarily flickering on tab switch
- Fix feature title margin in feature dialog
- Remove vertical offset on link hover popup
- Fix typo in import result text
