LeafWiki v0.8.0 – Sections, Importers and Tree Recovery

[perber]

Hey folks,

I’m excited to announce that LeafWiki v0.8.0 is now available!
This release focuses on sections and importers, making it much easier to organize existing content and recover or bootstrap your wiki structure.

⚠️ Important upgrade notice
Before upgrading, please make sure to create a backup of your existing Markdown files.
This release introduces changes to the internal tree model, and upgrading without a backup could lead to issues in case of unexpected problems.

Sections (New Tree Structure)

LeafWiki now supports sections in the tree view.

• Sections act like folders and can be collapsed or expanded
• You no longer need to create a page for every node
• A section automatically renders its subpages instead of requiring its own content

Importer & Recovery Tools

This release adds several tools to help you bring existing content into LeafWiki or recover from broken state

• Reconstruct tree from disk Rebuild the Tree View directly from the existing folder and Markdown structure on disk
  Useful if tree.json gets corrupted or for initial setup
• Markdown Importer Import existing Markdown content by uploading a ZIP archive
  Folder structures are preserved and converted into the wiki tree

These tools make LeafWiki much more resilient and lower the barrier for migrating existing documentation.

Smaller Improvements

• Additional options in the Tree View context menu (e.g. creating sections)
• Regular dependency updates and internal cleanups

What's next

With the structural changes introduced in this release, the next iterations of LeafWiki will focus more on performance improvements, stability, and smaller UX refinements.
After a release with this much internal change, the goal is to smooth out rough edges, optimize existing features, and build on a now much more flexible foundation.

Thanks 🙌

A big thank you to @Hugo-Galley and @Tak-MK for testing, feedback, and the initial ideas that helped shape this release.

This release is a solid step forward in making LeafWiki more flexible and migration-friendly.
As always, if you run into any issues, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.
