Changelog — Quill

What's New

Blockquote Citations

Blockquotes now include an optional citation line. Toggling a blockquote auto-inserts a <cite> node; Enter/Backspace handle it gracefully. The cite element is omitted from saved HTML when empty, producing clean Gutenberg output.

AI Context Menu

AI writing operations (Make Longer, Make Shorter, To Table, To List) moved from a floating pill to the right-click context menu, appearing only when text is selected and an API key is configured.

Fixes

Excerpt field — Post excerpts now load correctly from remote posts and display in the settings panel with consistent styling.
Taxonomy fetching — Categories and tags are now fetched with pagination support, so sites with large taxonomies load completely.

What's New

Extended Heading Levels

H4, H5, and H6 now appear in the heading dropdown alongside H1–H3, giving you the full HTML heading range without leaving the editor.

File Menu Commands

File → New Post and File → New Page create a local draft and open it immediately — no need to navigate the sidebar first. File → New Media… switches to the Media tab and opens the upload panel in one step.

Editor & Interface Polish

The writing canvas is now white, giving the editor a cleaner, more focused feel. Settings panel rows are roomier, the sidebar tab selection and new-item button are more visually distinct, and the media detail view has been redesigned with a two-column layout.

Fixes

AI result acceptance — Gutenberg HTML transformation is now correctly applied when accepting an AI rewrite, matching the output of a manual save.
AI selection pill — the ✦ pill now anchors below the selected text rather than floating above the bounding box.
Unsaved changes toast — the "Unsaved changes restored" notice no longer appears incorrectly when opening a server post with no pending local edits.
Media grid hit-testing — thumbnail clicks in the media browser now register at the correct position after scrolling.
Gutenberg HTML fidelity — toWordPressHTML output more closely matches what the WordPress block editor produces, reducing round-trip diffs.

What's New

Spell Checking

On-demand spell check via the ABC toolbar button. Misspelled words are underlined in red; right-clicking a highlighted word shows system correction suggestions. Squiggles clear as you edit.

Offline Editor Loading

Tiptap is now bundled locally rather than fetched from a CDN at launch. The editor loads instantly from disk with no network dependency.

Loading States

A spinner now appears while the post list is loading from WordPress and while the editor is initializing — replacing a blank white panel.

Fixes

Save Draft for local drafts now writes only to SQLite and never touches the WordPress API. Previously it would attempt a WordPress save and fail for unpublished local items.
⌘S on remote posts now correctly triggers Update rather than showing the Save Draft button.
Conflict-detection baseline is now refreshed from the server each time a post is opened, preventing false "edited elsewhere" warnings on re-open.
Spell-check squiggles now clear only the word being edited rather than wiping all highlights on the first keystroke.
