[2.2.0-beta.10] - April 2, 2026

New Features

• Sidebar Toolbar Divider:

  • Decoupled the vertical divider from the discover icon - now a standalone, configurable element.
  • Added "Divider" to the icon visibility settings in Display tab.
  • The divider can now be enabled/disabled and reordered among other icons via drag-and-drop.
  • Default position is between Discover and Add Feed icons.

• Smart Auto-Refresh on Vault Open:

  • Feeds now automatically refresh when opening the vault if the configured refresh interval has elapsed since the last refresh.
  • Before: The refresh timer reset to zero each time Obsidian closed. Users had to manually refresh or wait for the interval to pass after reopening the vault.
  • After: The plugin now tracks the last refresh timestamp in settings. On vault open, it checks if enough time has passed and refreshes immediately if needed.
  • Manual refreshes (sidebar icon, right-click menu, header button) also update the timestamp.
  • Respects all existing refresh interval settings (5 min to 24 hours).

• Auto Refresh: Off Option added

  • Added a new "Off" option to the refresh interval dropdown in General > Global Feeds > Refresh Interval. Resolves GH Issue #92

• Mark Page Read button added

  • Appears at the bottom of the article list
  • Marks only the articles from the current page as read, but leaves remaining articles in the feed untouched.

Fixes

• Android bug causing list and card views to regress after every open

• Chevron clicks in sidebar now only toggle collapse - GH#91

• Auto-deleted items no longer reappearing as unread upon refresh (PR#87 submitted by emiraga)

Development

• Testing Baseline for 2.2.0:
  • Established the first durable repo-wide automated test baseline for the plugin.
  • The pre-testing reference point was 2.1.9, which effectively shipped without a meaningful unit test suite beyond minimal Vitest scaffolding.
  • The repo now has 103 passing test files and 741 passing tests.
  • Global coverage baseline is now 46.77% statements, 37.32% branches, 41.51% functions, and 47.66% lines.
  • Added broad unit and integration-style coverage across core services, views, components, settings flows, modals, and plugin lifecycle behavior.
  • Added and expanded shared test infrastructure including Obsidian API stubs, JSDOM polyfills, and purpose-built harnesses for complex UI/service surfaces.
  • Coverage thresholds are now actively enforced in vitest.config.mjs at lines 40 / branches 33 / functions 34 to prevent regression.
  • Added contributor-facing testing documentation and archived the phase-by-phase handoff artifacts used during the coverage push.
