Joplin 3.4 includes many bug fixes and improvements, with a focus on the mobile app.
The mobile app now includes a beta Rich Text Editor! The new editor renders formatting/math/images within the editor:
To try it, 1) open a note in the default Markdown editor 2) open the note actions menu (the three vertical dots) for the note and 3) click “Edit as Rich Text”.
Be aware that this editor is still in active development and has a number of known limitations and issues. The Rich Text editor is based on ProseMirror and will behave differently from the desktop Rich Text Editor in many cases.
It's now possible to publish notes from the mobile app! To do so, open the “Properties” menu for a note, then click “Publish/unpublish”:
Next, in the “publish note” dialog, click “Copy shareable link”. Notes can later be unpublished by clicking "Unpublish" in the publication dialog.
It is now possible to view and restore previous note versions from the mobile app. Like the "publish note" feature, previous note versions can be accessed from the note properties menu.
As on desktop, the note history feature can be configured from the “Note History” tab in settings.
The tag dialog has been redesigned, with a new UI for adding, removing, and creating new tags:
The voice typing feature on Android has been updated with improved silence detection and a new “custom glossary” setting. Voice typing also now defaults to a more accurate (but somewhat slower) model.
A “scan notebook” action has been added to the “New note” menu:
This action allows quickly creating a new note with multiple pictures taken from the camera.
The "Note" tab in settings now includes new settings for the Markdown editor, including:
When enabled, these settings bring the Markdown editor closer to the Rich Text Editor, without some of the Rich Text Editor's limitations.
These settings are also available on mobile.
We've made the desktop application roughly 33% smaller! In addition to faster application startup, this means that the desktop app should be faster to download take up less space.

New commands have been added to the terminal app, including publish, unpublish, and share. This allows the terminal app to manage shared folders and published notes.
