Obsidian 1.7.2 (early access) is now available to Catalyst members for desktop and mobile!

Startup time and and memory usage are significantly improved. Note this may cause issues with some plugins. We've published a guide for developers.

Obsidian URI improvements:

- new clipboard param to insert the contents of the clipboard
- new prepend param to add to the top of the file
- prepend and append will attempt to merge properties
- new daily URI action to open or create your daily note

Another huge improvement to performance. You should see roughly 50% to 95% reduction in startup time when switching from Obsidian 1.6 to 1.7

How did you achieve the faster startup time? Did you modify electron startup time or is this all in Obsidian’s code?

Wow, that's incredible! Keep it up 💪🏻
