We are very proud to announce the release of tracim 2025-04
This release is driven by two main paths:
- improve user experience
- improve file content visualisation
Viewing files directly in Tracim
300+ text-based file types
With 2025-04 release, there is now the possibility to view files directly in ThanTracim.
Thanks to the use of Prism Javascript library, Tracim now allows to view 300+ file types, from markdown to mermaid diagrames, including SQL file and many source code files.
BIM files viewer, starting with IFC files
We implemented the support of IFC files view through WebGL.
Standard controls are available in order to rotate, zoom and move files.
This is the first step of this 3D models viewer integration. More file types to come (stl, gcode and many others ... which are already available in development build).
Reminder: Tracim includes a contributed synchronisation softawre called TRSync. It is possible to work locally on your CAD files and they will be synced online and live-viewed by colleagues and collaborators.
Improved User Experience
A dramatically improved user experience on mobile phone
Mention and link auto-complete feature was partly broken on mobile phones. Now they both are working well, so mobile phone is now fully usable.
Also, nested bullet points were difficult to read because of a too-large left margin. The margin value has been dramatically reduced making all rich text contents easy to read.
To be honest, user experience on mobile is now very pleasant.
Reminder: access to Tracim from a mobile phone or a tablet can be done directly through the browser (Tracim is fully responsive) or using one of our native applications on both Android and iOS.
Auto-generated clickable summary for notes
Notes now integrates a clickable summary button on top.
This summary allows readers to easily browser documentation pages and go straight to the parts they are interesed in.
This summary is generated based on the hierarchical titles included in your documentation. You can now focus on semantic writing, Tracim does the rest!
Long Kanban column titles are now show on mouseover
Sometimes, column title are too long to be fully viewable. In this case, you can now view the full label on mouse over.
Other improvements
We also fixed a few bugs, two being the following ones:
- fixed a link preview error when some opengraph metadata are missing
- better management of source code line breaks when exporting notes to PDF.
Note: did you know that notes are exportable as PDF? Did you know that PDF model is fully customizable - the export is based on Weazy Print
Technical improvments
WebDAV improvements
The WebDAV dependencies have been upgraded and the code cleaned and improved. It results on a more resilient WebDAV support, including when moving files. If you use intensively WebDAV, we still recommand to use a dedicaed client software like Cyberduck / Mountainduck
The rich text editor is now based on HugeRTE
According to a licence change, we decided to replaced TinyMCE. Last MIT-licenced version of TinyMCE (6.7) has been forked as HugeRTE. The developers are very reactive.
This will ensure Tracim stays really opensource.
Upgraded Cypress dependency
Our frontend tests partly rely on Cypress, we upgraded it to 13.17.0
CSP parameterization improvement
The way CSP is parameterizable has been improved, offering more flexibility in usage for on premise deployments.
Conclusion
Let's go forward with next release: more viewable files, increased performances, and more ...
C'est tout pour aujourd'hui mais c'est déjà bien.
