Zettlr 1.2.1 brings a lot of bug fixes, design improvements and enhancements in the functionality. Among an improved user interface, there are three important changes in this version:

1. Quicklook windows do not open in an overlay anymore. Instead, they'll open directly in a new window.
2. We've removed the "Create new Directory" button from the toolbar, because creating new directories is normally done via the context menu. (The shortcut Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+N still works.)
3. The "Create new File" button is now more visible, as we replaced its icon with a large "Plus" icon.

For all changes, please read our announcement blog post and see the changelog below.

• Removed the Quicklook overlay windows. Quicklooks now directly become standalone windows.
• General improvements to the default PDF template.
• On Windows and macOS, Zettlr now also fills up the recent document list in the Taskbar/Dock.
• Huge UX improvements.
• Improvements to the spellchecking engine. Now, it won't check inline code.
• We're removed the "Create new Directory" button from the toolbar, and made the "Create new File" button more visible by replacing the icon with a huge "Plus" sign.
• The Pomodoro timer now sends out notifications when a task has ended so that you'll always know what's up next!
• The find popup detects when you start to type a regular expression. If it's a valid regular expression, it will switch to a monospaced font, helping you to write the expression correctly.
• The find popup now remembers your search term on a per-session basis.
• Fixed the position of the popups. Now they won't cover the toolbar.
• Fixed the misbehaving markdown shortcuts in the formatting toolbar. Now block formats are replaced, not left in place when changing the formatting of a paragraph.
• Fixed a small bug in the PDF template that would render emphasised text underlined instead of italic in exported PDF files.
• Fixed the links inside footnote tooltips. Now they are readable and don't break out of the tooltip anymore.
• Fixed an error that prevented Zettlr from being able to automatically import language files.
• Fixed a bug causing emails not to render.
• Fixed a bug preventing you from clicking the "Print" icon on Windows.
• Fixed double-clicking the Quicklook and Print window title bar on macOS and Linux.

• Bumped dependencies. Switched to Electron 5 Beta.
• The Quicklook-windows will now also load the correct CodeMirror-plugins from the autoload file.
• Moved out the recent files to its own provider.
• Design cleanup. Many variables have been renamed to make it possible to create new themes based upon the Berlin theme.
• The renderer does not constantly query the main process for up-to-date citations anymore, which both reduces CPU power and increases battery life.
• The popups can now be told if their contents have changed so that they re-place themselves correctly.
