Full Changelog: v1.2.94...1.2.95

• basically just updated the client GUI build to fix a couple of annoying issues in the text editor
• fixed issue where text editor would become stuck/uneditable after toggling editor fullscreen
• removed code that was causing the editor to scroll when you hit enter

• fix for an issue where config would not be initialized properly on startup

• fix line wrapping

• hopefully the last patch for v1.2.9! this build fixes a funny and tiny little bug where the cursor was offset strangely in bullet points

• fixed an existing bug where links would line wrap wierd
• fixed edge case permissions bug where another synthona account on the same physical device could access another user's nodes if they had the uuid such as through an import

What's Changed

• moving from sequelize to knex.js. the reasons for this are essentially that sequelize is a large and complicated library whose syntax is far too different from how SQL is actually written. while it's true we could just write raw SQL queries i think it's nice to have a library to manage migrations and for our queries to be able to work with our javascript better. knex also provides some other utility functions and tools which are valuable for code re-usability. also gives us more control over our queries and makes writing raw queries easy. another benefit, the ability to quickly swap database tech
• in my tests, knex also seems to be a little faster than sequelize. plus, now join queries are easier
• there's also a bug fix in here for the authentication system to catch an error which was missed
• contextual create feature similar to obsidian, add links to other nodes through [[double brackets]]
• right+click or shift click on links in the text editor to open them instantly
• short term memory for [[renderlinking]] where if you keep typing the same [[phrase]] [[phrase]] it will go down the list, matching a new note each time as long as there are titles including the phrase
• configurable "summoning key" (defaults to cmd/ctrl+;) which pulls up synthona from anywhere on your computer
• many bug fixes and other updates
