New
- Excalidraw CLI for AI agents. Local AI agents can create, edit, inspect, and export drawings, and run trusted scripts. Requires Obsidian 1.12.2+ with CLI enabled. Select Excalidraw: Show CLI and agent instructions to get started. #2988
- Better image attachments. Pasted and dropped images now follow Obsidian attachment rules, including compatible attachment-management plugins. #2964

- Wrap or unwrap with W. Put text inside a shape, detach labels, or wrap selected elements in a frame. Press W again to reverse the action. #12264
- Select overlapping elements. Alt-click to cycle through stacked objects. #12237
- Smarter duplication. Duplicated numbered labels and list items automatically advance their numbering. You can also Alt-drag to duplicate text while editing it. #12189 #12219
- Better cropping and resizing. Shift maintains image crop proportions, Alt crops from the center, and double-clicking a crop handle restores an edge. Corner resizing for text is more intuitive. #12260 #12262
- Improved frames. Edge-aligned elements are included correctly, clipping is more consistent, and cutting a frame includes its contents (deleting a frame still leaves them behind). #12270
- Google Drive videos start playing when you activate their embeds. #12246
Fixed
- Text undo/redo. Editing after undo or redo no longer restores outdated text, and closing an unchanged editor preserves redo history. #2976
- Markdown embeds. Fixed blank or interrupted drawing embeds, nested and self-referencing drawing images, and back-of-the-note embeds showing the full drawing instead of the linked section. #2953 #2979 #2931
- Grouped links. Ctrl/Cmd-click selects the intended group member first; a second click follows that element’s link. #2989
- LaTeX in popouts. Fixed cursor placement and keyboard selection when editing formulas in a separate window. #2970
- Middle-mouse panning over a text editor no longer ends text editing or multiplies the movement. #12244
Excalidraw Automate
- Scripts can use the new CLI through ea.executeCLI() and create drawings at an exact path with ea.create().
But I believe it’s not a bad start and will have chance to improve summarization skills in the future.
