# v0.43.0

2020-05-22

This is the biggest release of Outline since we first published the source code. The [editor](https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor) is entirely rebuilt from the ground up for extensibility and speed, allowing us to move faster than ever before and is the culmination of more than 4 months of planning and work.

The improvements and fixes are almost too numerous to count, but the most important are listed below:

### Enhancements

- Document rendering performance increased by leaps and bounds, some of our extreme test documents went from 30seconds -> 300ms to render
- A new menu for inserting blocks is much more intuitive than before, type "/" at the beginning of a line or hit the "+" button to trigger

- Updating a document's title now also updates any links to the document in other docs automatically
- "Highlight" now appears as an option in the formatting menu
- It's now possible to type a url in markdown formatting
- Quotes are converted to smart quotes as you type
- Support for paragraph breaks in list items
- It's now possible to choose the "system" theme and have Outline follow your system's dark mode preference – this is especially useful on macOS when dark mode is set to "auto" to go dark in the evenings.

- Long titles now wrap onto multiple lines again
- Document headings are centered correctly again when scrolled
- Adding a new row to a table now respects column alignment
