For Zettlr 4.0, we have put some extra effort in rewriting the citation parser. Now, your citations will be properly highlighted and detected. This improves performance, user experience, and implements more citation features.

Another place that has received a glow-up for the upcoming Zettlr 4.0 is the statistics window. We've improved the calendar view with a proper heatmap, and the chart view with a proper, readable bar chart that is easier to parse.

macOS Tahoe PSA: There currently seem to be some performance issues with Electron apps, including Zettlr. These appear to be benign as far as we can see, but some might find them distracting, so be aware of that before updating!

The biggest improvement of the upcoming TableEditor revamp is certainly that it is now impossible to lose any data. With a new approach that interweaves the table with the underlying document, instead of layering it on top of it, each character is immediately persisted to the document.
