v1.4.0

Added

• Support for using the text property as a shortcut for markdown_text (PR#19 by betalars and PR#20, #2)
• Auto-translation when markdown_text is set to a localization key and the node is set to auto-translate (PR#18 by betalars)
• Handling YAML/TOML front-matter when using the display_file() method. The get_frontmatter() method can be used afterwards to retrieve it (#15).
• Alt text for images
• Horizontal rules / thematic breaks, with customization options (exclusive for Godot 4.5+)
  • Option on each header level's format to automatically draw horizontal rule below headers (#17)

Changed

• Improved documentation
• The text property is no longer stored in scene files, avoiding redundant information
• Image tooltips now use the tooltip option instead of the hint flag

Fixed

• Markdown conversion could be executed multiple times in a single frame. Now it uses a dirty flag system to only be executed when it's strictly needed.

v1.3.0

Updated for Godot 4.4

• Added UIDs

Might cause some warnings if adding to a Godot 4.4 project that was already using the previous version of the addon.

v1.2.1

• Fixed icon.svg not scaling properly (#13)
• Fixed header formats not updating properly in the editor (#14)

v1.2.0

• Added customizable header colors:
  • Header levels have two new properties: override_font_color and font_color. When override_font_color is true, the headers will have its font color set to the font_color property. When override_font_color is false (default), headers will use the same font color as the rest of the text.
  • Implemented originally by halkeye (#8).
• Added support for task lists (#4):
  • Starting an unordered list item with [ ] or [x] will create a checkbox.
  • The checkboxes are clickable by default and emit a signal when clicked.
  • There's an option to disable cliking on checkboxes.
  • There's an option to customize the checkbox.
  • See the README file in the repo for more info.
• Added support for handling unhandled links (#10):
  • Added the unhandled_link_clicked signal, which is emitted when the MarkdownLabel node does not handle a click on a link automatically.
  • Added the assume_https_links property (default: true). If enabled, unrecognized links will be opened as HTTPS URLs (e.g. "example.com" will be opened as "https://example.com"). If disabled, unrecognized links will be left unhandled (emitting the unhandled_link_clicked signal). Ignored if automatic_links is disabled.
• Added support for custom syntax (#7):
  • Refactored the processing of all syntax elements into individual methods so they can be overridden if desired (_process_text_formatting_syntax(), _process_link_syntax(), etc.).
  • Added two empty methods: _preprocess_line() and _process_custom_syntax() which can be overridden to insert custom syntax.
• Fixed bug where a table could break all the following text.

v1.1.0

• Implemented automatic handling of links:
  • Can be turned off with the automatic_links property.
  • Valid URLs and mails are opened with user default settings.
  • Headers are assigned an id following the same pattenr as Github-flavored markdown.
  • When clicked, links to that id make the label automatically scroll to their header (#3).
• The bbcode_enabled and text properties are now hidden on the editor (#1).

1.0.0 - Beta

Needs some more testing and setting up for the Asset Library, but every desired feature is already implemented.
