- add-ons can ship default config in a config.json file
- users can edit the config in the add-ons dialog, easily syntax-check
the json, and restore it to the defaults
- an optional config.md contains instructions to the user in markdown
format
- config will be preserved when add-on is updated, instead of being
overwritten as is the case when users are required to edit the source
files
A simple example: in config.json:
{"myvar": 5}
In your add-on's code:
from aqt import mw
config = mw.addonManager.getConfig(__name__)
print("var is", config['myvar'])
Add-ons that manage options in their own GUI can have that GUI
displayed when the config button is clicked:
mw.addonManager.setConfigAction(__name__, myOptionsFunc)
- separate dialog for managing add-ons
- only add-ons compatible with Anki 2.1 will be shown on AnkiWeb
- can delete or toggle disabled on multiple add-ons at once
- check for updates button
- button to view add-on's AnkiWeb page
The new handling drops support for single file .py add-ons, and requires
add-ons to store all files in a single folder. This ensures all files
are cleaned up properly when updating or deleting an add-on, and
prevents file conflicts between separate add-ons. See the updated
add-on docs for more:

README.addons has been moved to the above page
- use a main window instead of a dialog, so the menu items of the main
window don't appear while the profile window is active on OS X
- the profile manager now has a button to automatic restoring from
backup, which will prevent old backups from being clobbered
- drop support for profile passwords
- do the right thing when user quits from the menu in profile manager
mode
Users can now mark individual cards with one of four different coloured
flags, instead of relying on a tag that applied to the whole note.
- replaced marking functionality in reviewer and browser with new
flag options
- added flag:x search
- marked and leech tags now show in normal tag list in filter screen,
instead of being treated specially
- the other clients will need updating to set and shown the flags, but
flags set in the beta should be preserved by the other clients
- the bulk of image use is in webviews, so we move almost all used
images to web/imgs, as it's easier to manage
- change AnkiWebView to always use the local media server as a base, as
much of the UI has come to depend on it
- remove images from a few areas, as they felt dated
- delete a bunch of unused images
- href=# links were being opened in a browser window, so the code now
ignores them - the HTML should really be updated to return false in the
onclick handler
- update a few icons
use a pop-up menu instead, which saves a lot of screen real estate and
should be more intuitive for new users
also:
- add options to manage note types and clear unused tags in the relevant
submenus
- shuffle a few shortcut keys
- remove the old favourites code - saving and removing now done via the
menu
- individual card templates now searchable
- tabs became difficult to read when users had a lot of templates, so we
use a combobox instead
- move the More button to the top and integrate adding/removing
templates
- start with no focus to avoid accidental modifications
- display confirmation before adding template
- remove 'edit to customize' text that some users had trouble editing
- add option to wrap html in implicit pre-wrap environment during
editing and review - defaults to off
- update paste filter to convert divs/Ps to newlines and non-breaking
spaces to normal ones
- catch enter key and write \n instead of creating a new div
also:
- remove extra caretToEnd() call that is no longer required
- add dd/dt/dl to allowed tags
on windows webengine seems to install a permanent ctrl+z handler that is
active even when an editing area is not selected, so our shortcut is
never triggered when the webengineview is focused.
we do the backup compression/writing in a separate thread so it
doesn't slow down profile switching/syncing, and remove the option
to write uncompressed backups
the strip html option is no longer used, so remove it from preferences
- a few issues to work out still, and editor changes not done yet
- for communication between webengine and python code, we set window
.location to 'http://anki/<something>' - the leading http is
necessary for qt to call the link handler, which was introduced
in qt5.5
- the designer files now use a promoted qobject to create instances
of AnkiWebView
- we use the css zoom property to alter webengine font size based on
system dpi
- prefs and addons folder stored in new location (at least for now)
avoided adding this in the past as on a multi user system it allows
one profile user to annoys others by changing the interface language,
but it comes at the expense of easily changing the language for users
who choose the wrong one on first startup
