Changelog

All notable changes to Noust will be documented in this file.

v1.16.2 — Auto Chronos — 2026-07-09

Added

• Auto Chronos: Added a auto mode for nexus chronos to automatically apply chronology timestamps for all typed text.

v1.16.1 — Section Tabs Visibility — 2026-07-07

Added

• Section Tabs Visibility Option: Added an option under Settings > Behavior > Notes Overview Manager to show or hide the horizontal section tabs at the top of the workspace. Hiding the section tabs helps optimize screen space, particularly when using the collapsible Outline Sidebar.

---

v1.16.0 — Context Menus, Image Notes & Delete Reflow — 2026-07-01

Added

• Mobile: Added a mobile interface for the app.
• Custom Context Menus: Custom right-click context menus for the canvas and notes have been implemented.
• Standalone Image Notes: Standalone image notes on the canvas have been implemented.

---

v1.15.0 — Discrete Zoom Levels — 2026-06-30

Added

• Discrete Zoom Levels: Introduce a togglable navigation option (enabled by default) under Settings > Behavior to replace continuous canvas zooming with predefined steps (100% -> 80% -> 50% -> 35% -> 15% by default).
• Individual Level Customization: Add dedicated settings inputs for each zoom level stage (Base, Macro, Overview, Global) with active minimum-gap (10%) validations.
• Base Zoom Initialization: Viewports now load and initialize at the user's configured Zoom Base Level (e.g., 80%) instead of the hardcoded 100%, preserving workflow preferences.

---

v1.14.2 — Objective Priority & Compact Layout — 2026-06-24

Added

• Objective Priority: Added a priority star toggle to objective cards, pinning prioritized items to the top of active or in-progress lists. Drag-and-drop constraints automatically prevent dragging non-prioritized items above prioritized ones to maintain clean priority tiers.

Changed

• Compact Objective Cards: Redesigned objective cards with vertical alignment improvements, refined action layouts, and a cleaner card footprint. Replaced vertical arrow toggles with matching Play/Pause controls to clarify in-progress task state updates.

---

v1.14.1 — Note Context Sidebar & Flow Integration — 2026-06-15

Added

• Added document formatting and margin customization controls for paginated Nexus pages, structural Table of Contents (Index) alignments, toolbar context highlighting, and page height optimizations.
• Restricted Space Drag Physics: Introduced specialized auto-scroll and dynamic zoom physics when dragging large notes in confined viewports (e.g. small screen sizes or when sidebars and Nexus panes are active). The engine automatically triggers a direct 35% macro zoom-out, lowers velocity and edge threshold requirements, and modulates scroll speed to prevent viewport overflow and shaking.

Added

• Flow Button on Notes: Added a Flow button inside the note's context sidebar to toggle the note's visibility in the Flow board.

Changed

• Note Context Sidebar: Removed the standalone Objective button from the note header/context menu and replaced it with a dedicated note context sidebar containing both the Objective and Flow buttons.
• Objective Flow Default: New objectives are now initialized with Flow deactivated by default (previously activated by default).

---

v1.14.0 — Outline Sidebar Navigator — 2026-06-14

Added

• Collapsible Left Outline Sidebar: Dock a high-performance, collapsible layout tree to the left edge of your canvas. It shows sections, subsections (bookmarks), clusters, and notes with real-time updates, active card highlighting, and dynamic search filtering.

Changed

• Shortcut & Gestures Update: Added Alt + E to toggle the Outline Sidebar. Reassigned the session anchor positioning to the mouse gesture Alt + Right Click (works over canvas and mini-map) to avoid conflicts and increase precision.

---

v1.13.1 — Ergonomic Keyboard Navigation — 2026-06-13

Changed

• Section Shortcut Change: The shortcut to switch between sections has changed from Alt + A/D to Alt + ArrowLeft/ArrowRight (globally active even during text editing) for increased typing comfort and layout consistency.

Added

• Keyboard Viewport Panning: Added support for panning the canvas viewport directly using Alt + W/A/S/D (arrows removed from panning to prevent conflicts).
• Add Section Shortcut: Remapped the "Create a new section" shortcut to Alt + Shift + S.
• Go to Anchor Shortcut: Remapped the "Go to workspace anchor (Home)" shortcut to Alt + X.

---

v1.13.0 — PWA Offline Support — 2026-06-13

Added

• Progressive Web App (PWA): Noust is now fully installable on your device. Enjoy instant startup times, and seamless offline functionality. You can now work on your notes even without an internet connection, and they will sync safely once you are back online.
• User-Controlled Updates: Updates no longer interrupt your workflow. You now have an "Update Available" button in your header when a new version is ready. You decide when to apply it, with full visibility of the changes.

---

v1.12.0 — Modular Architecture — 2026-06-12

Changed

• Optional Modules Architecture: Decoupled advanced technical tools (JWT Analyzer, Encoder/Decoder) into modular components in the workspace menu-shell, permitting users to toggle them individually.

---

v1.11.1 — Auto-Zoom Engine & Navigation Precision — 2026-06-10

Added

• Scroll Auto-Zoom Sensitivity: Added a customizable input in the Behavior settings panel to fine-tune the accumulated scroll force threshold required to trigger Scroll Auto-Zoom, supporting different hardware configurations.
• Drag Auto-Zoom: Physics-based, content-aware dynamic zoom-out engine. When dragging a note towards screen boundaries, the canvas automatically zooms out (to 60% standard zoom or 35% Hyperdrive zoom) to provide peripheral visibility and prevent losing track of target locations, returning to a perfect 1:1 focus landing when dropped. Can be enabled/disabled under Behavior settings.
• Scroll Auto-Zoom: Cinematic scroll navigation engine. High-speed scrolling with mouse wheel or trackpad detects flight momentum and pulls the viewport back to a 60% macro-zoom to quickly view and land on target clusters. Can be enabled/disabled under Behavior settings.

Changed

• Adaptive Auto-Scroll Boundaries: Refactored the note drag auto-scroll threshold to dynamically scale based on the viewport dimensions. The active boundary is constrained to a maximum of 35% of the viewport size to prevent notes from getting locked in infinite scroll loops on small screens while retaining standard boundaries on larger viewports.

---

v1.11.0 — Free-Text Search & Mention Links — 2026-05-30

Added

• Global Free-Text Search: Added a real-time search filter in the Nexus sidebar under the PAGES section to dynamically filter folders, page titles, and purified text content. Supports a compact, blade-style search button when the sidebar is collapsed.
• Mention Links (@ and Toolbar): Implemented interactive note linking inside Free-Text pages. Users can type @ to open an inline note selection dropdown to insert links to other notes, or use the link icon in the formatting toolbar to link selected text.
• Canvas Multi-Selection Box: Added support for dragging a selection box (marquee selection) over the empty canvas background while holding Ctrl/Cmd to select multiple notes simultaneously.
• Persistent Objective Sorting & Creation: Made the "Sort by Deadline" action persistent. The sorting mode is now saved inside each section's UI state, retaining the selected order configuration across workspace loads and reloads. Additionally, new objectives are now prepended to the top of the list.

---

v1.10.4 — First-Class Cluster Selection & Actions — 2026-05-30

Added

• First-Class Cluster Selection: Added support for multi-selection of clusters via Ctrl/Cmd click and drag-selection box.
• Cluster Copy & Paste: Integrated clusters into the clipboard system (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V), allowing users to duplicate entire clusters along with their internal nodes.
• Cluster Deletion: Enabled deletion of selected clusters via Delete/Backspace keys, properly releasing the contained nodes.
• Symbiotic Selection Dragging: Allowed dragging any member of a selected group (both nodes and clusters) to move the entire selection together, maintaining relative layout coordinates.

---

v1.10.2 — Objective Flag Management & Topology Hashtag Scope — 2026-05-30

Added

• Unified Flag Collision Prevention: Standardized duplicate-prevention logic for categories/flags across both Nexus Objectives and Flow workspaces. New flags automatically generate unique sequential names, renaming checks for existing labels case-insensitively to prevent collisions, and imports resolve duplicate labels by appending numeric counters.
• Topology Title Hashtag Parsing: The "Include hashtags from linked notes" option in Topology Analytics now automatically scans note titles in addition to note contents to compile linked note hashtags.

---

v1.10.1 — Hashtag Analytics & Navigator Improvements — 2026-05-28

Added

• Navigator Hashtag Counter: Real-time counter of hashtag occurrences displayed automatically in the search bar when searching for a hashtag (e.g. #tag).
• Navigator Hashtag Analytics: A slide-out analytics dashboard panel rendering CSS-based horizontal bar charts to visualize hashtag distribution across all workspace notes. Allows quick-filtering notes by clicking on any hashtag.
• Nexus Layout Persistence: The sidebar collapse state (NEXUS_IS_SIDEBAR_COLLAPSED) and the panel width (NEXUS_WIDTH) are now saved within the global settings auto-save (behavior group) and synchronized to the cloud.

---

v1.10.0 — Topology Canvas & Group Workflows — 2026-05-28

Added

• Topology Canvas & Analytics: Interactive visual diagramming engine to map infrastructure, data flows, and threat models. Supports multi-diagram storage, interactive note-to-node dragging from a sidebar, shape customization, note linking at both node and cluster levels, and color propagation. Includes a Topology Analytics dashboard with label frequency charts, cluster correlation analysis, label co-occurrence search, connection path correlations, and interactive chart embedding ([topology-chart:scope:type]) in Nexus documents.
• Flow Visualization Nexus Mode: Enter the interactive flowchart view directly from the Nexus sidebar workspace to easily view and manage milestones, supporting both Overlay Mode and Embedded/Nexus Mode.
• Subsection Multi-Selection & Group Drag: Group-select subsections alongside notes using Ctrl + Click to move or delete clusters of content concurrently on the canvas.

---

v1.9.3 — Nexus Flow — 2026-05-21

Added

• Nexus Flow: A structured canvas system allowing users to group notes, link sections, manage status flags, and organize complex project paths in a centralized layout.
