Changelog

[0.6.1] - 2026-09-08

Added

External change watching for open notes: when a .note file is modified outside the editor (e.g. by a git sync), the open document now updates automatically. If the editor has unsaved changes at that moment (conflict), a dialog asks which version wins: "Keep my changes" overwrites the file with the editor content, "Load from disk" reloads the document from disk and discards the unsaved edits. Closing the dialog without a choice changes nothing — local edits stay in the editor and the file stays untouched. The plugin's own autosave writes are never mistaken for external changes.

Fixed

Data-loss protection: a note file can no longer be silently wiped with an empty note body. Previously, if the file could not be read/parsed (e.g. a partially hydrated read right after opening the vault with restored tabs, or a truncated sync write), the editor silently fell back to an empty document which was then autosaved over the real content. Now: the note load is retried briefly, on failure an error state is shown instead of an editor (nothing is saved), and a last-resort write guard blocks saving an empty document over a file that still has content.

Installation

Via Community Plugins (recommended)

Open Settings → Community plugins in Obsidian.
Disable Restricted mode if it is on.
Click Browse and search for Inscriptum.
Install and enable it.

Alternatively, open the plugin page directly: Inscriptum on Obsidian Plugins.

Via BRAT

If you want to try the latest development versions before they are released, install Inscriptum using BRAT.

Install BRAT in Obsidian.
Open BRAT → Add Beta Plugin.
Add:

inscriptum/obsidian-plugin
Install and enable Inscriptum.

Manually

Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release.
Create the plugin directory:

.obsidian/plugins/inscriptum/
Copy the downloaded files into it.
Reload Obsidian.
Enable Inscriptum under Settings → Community plugins.

Development

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/inscriptum/obsidian-plugin.git
cd obsidian-plugin
npm ci

Start the development build:

npm run dev

The development build runs in watch mode and automatically deploys the plugin to:

.obsidian/plugins/inscriptum/

Create a production build:

npm run build

Run tests:

npm test

Release

Releases are built automatically by GitHub Actions.

Create a new version and push the tag:

npm version patch
git push --follow-tags

The workflow builds the plugin, takes the release notes for the new version from CHANGELOG.md, and publishes the release automatically.

Before pushing the tag, add a ## [x.y.z] section to CHANGELOG.md describing the changes — the release will be created only if that section exists.
