- Added Summaries to table view. To use them, right-click a table column and choose "Summarize...". Choose from the list of built-in summary functions, or write your own.
- Added keyboard navigation and shortcuts to table view.
- New List view to display files as bulleted lists and numbered lists. Supports multi-line content and indenting properties.

Full release notes can be found here:
Reminder: You may need to update your plugins, theme, and snippets to work with the latest version. If you encounter bugs with plugins be considerate of community developers who may need some time to make updates to support this version.

Strange. I double-checked and I'm on 1.10 but I haven't noticed a difference in how long it takes to load the app.

What YouTube fix?

YouTube's been giving embed errors, on Obsidian but also elsewhere (discourse for instance).

Map view is really interesting
YankeeNoodleDaddy • 4 points •
I wonder what the main use case to inspire this feature
Director_Of_Mischief • 14 points •
Does there need to be one? It's a fundamental law that everything happens somewhere; spatial relationships influence history, society, and data analysis.
It makes sense for an app that focuses on finding links and relationships to include an option for users to discover geographical patterns as well. After all, Tobler's first law of geography states that "everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things" which, to me, fits Obsidian's mindset perfectly.
Love this feature and will definitely be implementing it!

You described a use case, so you’re right
henry_tennenbaum • 1 points •
It is, but doesn't work for me (on Linux) right now. Tiles aren't loaded.

please give us Kanban / Board view, is the last missing piece to leave Notion behind

Bases: Card View
Add an extra field for what card lane you want it to be in.Plenty_Ad6005 • 3 points •
That’s a good idea. Not sure I fully understand. Can you please elaborate? Thank you!
prwnR • 3 points •
With the grouping feature added in this version, you can group cards into lanes by a specific property/value.
It's not exactly a Kanban view, but can work as such for the time being.
Amocon • 3 points •
There is a Kanban community plugin
JoSquarebox • 5 points •
The community plugin (funnily enough made by u /kepano iirc) is just an alternate view for markdown checkboxes inside a note, with an opion in bases we would basically be indexing and manipulating all tasks inside the entire vault instead
DannieBGoode • 1 points •
I am using a plugin for now but it's not as smooth, I'd like a native solution
Plenty_Ad6005 • 1 points •
TaskNotes Kanban view in Base has taken off (it’s good) and is pretty much functioning as the unofficial “official version”. Not sure what incentive Developers now have to roll out their own version.
kerat • 11 points •
Could you not just integrate the Homepage plugin into obsidian? I just want to open the same page each time instead of the last used file. I assume this should be a simple option to add & would allow users to load 1 plugin less
JoSquarebox • 4 points •
I second this, I am already tempted to just shift my entire workflow to using the daily note on startup as a homepage instead, since thats natively supported.
colt_divinely • 20 points •
The opening speed increase on mobile is very good but could be even better if you chose on which note the app will open because often the last opened page isn't what you want to have
ooglybooglies • 15 points •
A setting for default opening page would be interesting. Could either select a specific page, last modified, etc.
geGamedev • 3 points •
Would (one of) the homepage plugin(s) solve that? Or would the plugin load too late to effect anything?
Emiroda • 2 points •
Currently, when using a home page plugin on mobile, it opens the latest note (as per the new default behavior), then a second later it jumps to the home page set in the plugin.
So I have disabled my home page plugin on mobile for the time being.
Gjessing1 • 1 points •
Just disable 'Open on startup' in the homepage plugin settings and it should stay where you left off.
TutorialDoctor • 5 points •
Thanks! So excited to update my vaults with these features!
frberhr5u5 • 6 points •
wow, thank you! mobile app is really opening faster
AiHsuanKr • 5 points •
With so many people hyping the faster startup,which led me to half-joke, "Oh great, another one of those Google Pixel phone updates that magically get better battery life, right" 😉
After actually installing it, I realized the startup is noticeably faster— This upgrade is seriously impressive and impactful!!😍

Bases rocks.

I have just discovered the "Maps" plugin from obsidian itself, it is awesome.
alfonzoo • 4 points •
are there any plans to revise the "Copy as Text" function of Bases? right now the List view also produces a Markdown table when I thought it'd be a bulleted list.
kepano • 9 points •
Good point! We'll look into that.
der-bingle • 4 points •
Just took two screen recordings to compare launch speed before, and after the update. iPhone 15 Pro, 6,000+ note vault:
- BEFORE: 3.8 seconds
- AFTER: 1.1 seconds
Congrats and thank you for a 71% IMPROVEMENT!
Notesie • 3 points •
I’m having the opposite experience — slow loading mobile files and delay in application of Style Settings. Reindexing didn’t help. Restarting didn’t help. Restarting device didn’t help. Edit: all plugins up to date
kepano • 7 points •
Try turning off plugins and re-enabling them one by one. It's likely you have a plugin that is trying to do something unexpected at startup (e.g. Lazy Loader, Homepage, etc)
Notesie • 1 points •
I forgot about that! Thanks for the reminder.
Notesie • 1 points •
It didn’t work. It just got slower and slower the more plugins I added. I think I currently have about 12 loaded.

List view + groups is a game changer for task management
Mistereddy_ • 3 points •
Bit of a noob here. Could I use the new map view for my own maps? Say Dungeons and dragons world maps for example?
N1tero • 5 points •
As always, great work!
I'm wondering though, why isn't map view a core plugin?
kepano • 39 points •
It's similar to Importer which is an official community plugin.
Maps in particular provides an open source example for developers who want to use the Bases API. Maps also uses with a somewhat large third-party library (MapLibre) which increases the bundle size and may not be useful to all Obsidian users. Keeping it separate keeps the app more lightweight for people who don't need maps.

As usual, obsidian product strategy is coherent, transparent and sustainable.

I've had this problem too, through testing I found that some CSS which targeted bases slowed things down (for me at least). Turning it off made it (almost) go away. Though, dragging files / images it still lags if there is a large base currently visible. So try and see if it goes away if you disable all your CSS files or theme.

Looking at the roadmap, it seems that most items on the "active development" were delivered with this this update. I'm curious when the roadmap will see an update - any of the items currently under "planned" will make me happy.
Eolipila • 1 points •
P.S.,
The roadmap was updated. None of the "planned" features made it to the "active" status, which is, alas, a wee-bit disappointing. Looks like the focus now is on mobile, and we'll have to wait longer for new features.

What is the html() function thing they've added in improvement?? Can someone tell.. It says added new html() function for rendering custom html.. But like how do I use it? I'm noob need help..

For this kind of thing and any other function references in Obsidian, the docs are your best friend. Here's the link to their official docs: https://help.obsidian.md/bases/functions#%60html()%60

It’ll be cool if we had either Google Maps or Apple Maps integration, awesome work tho!

What do you mean by this? What would the integration do?

open in apple maps? if i want to see the reviews or share with others

You can already do this by creating a formula that links to Apple Maps.

The iOS app kinda is broken now, after opening it, it constantly refreshes and reopens itself.
I’m using it to open vault stored in iCloud as I always do
kepano • 1 points •
It's likely a plugin issue. Try disabling plugins. If you still have trouble, open a bug on the forum
Organic_Challenge151 • 1 points •
I opened the vault again with the restricted mode and it’s still not working. Guess I’ll gonna post it on the forum

I'm confused a little, I selected a random cell in my base table and pressed enter. Then the whole base got replaced by another one of my Bases?
[deleted] • 0 points •
It's the first item in the changelog. The "Use light mode" and "Use dark mode" commands have been replaced by a single "Toggle light/dark mode" command.

Finally, list bases. Mostly invalidates the CSS I was in the middle of writing so I don't accidentally break my bases/files, but at least I can keep the part that hides the editor buttons in the header.
BubblyJellyfish5781 • 1 points •
Hey. I'm very impressed by the new launching speed. But when will I see the button on mobile to select the multiple files and delete at once? The delete functions right now is so clumsy and I have to one by one hold the notes to delete the multiple. It would really helpful if I can do that when i just wanna take quick note without keyboard 😀
CihanKaygusuz • 1 points •
What's the point of changing "Use dark mode/light mode" commands? Mine is gone, hotkeys also gone. I just replaced again but now there is only one hotkey option. Same hotkey switching light and dark mode. I use "CTRL+1" when i press that if it's light, going to dark. If it's dark, going to light. This will require some time to rebuild my muscle memory but it's ok.
