In this release we support fuzzy links of the form [[roam:Title]]
, [[roam:*Headline]]
and [[roam:Title*Headline]]
. Completion for these fuzzy links is supported via completion-at-point
.
Org-roam now does not resolve symlinks. This significantly speeds up cache builds, but may result in some workflows breaking. In particular, Org-roam now cannot figure out if two distinct file paths in the Org-roam directory are the same file, and both files will be processed as if they were different files. This error seems to be unavoidable now that symlinks are not resolved, but this workflow is rare and should not affect most users.
This change requires you to set org-roam-directory
to the resolved path of a folder. That is:
(setq org-roam-directory (file-truename "/path/to/directory/"))
- #1164 Org-roam now stores the database in the user's Emacs directory by default
- #910 Deprecate

- #1057 Improve performance of database builds by preventing generation of LaTeX and image previews.
- #1103 Fix long build-times for Windows on files with URL links
This release consisted of a big deal of refactoring and bug fixes. Notably, we fixed several catastrophic failures on db builds with bad setups (#854), and modularized tag and title extractions.
We also added some new features that had been a long time coming:
- We made the backlinks more outline-friendly by also showing the outline hierarchy for a backlink (#863)
- We now support nested captures, which is crucial for
org-roam-protocol
(#966)
- #908 Normalized titles in database. May break external packages that rely on unnormalized titles.
- #814 Implement
org-roam-insert-immediate
- #833 Add customization of file titles with
org-roam-title-to-slug-function
. - #839 Return selected file from
org-roam-insert
- #847 Add GC threshold
org-roam-db-gc-threshold
to temporarily change the threshold on expensive operations. - #847 Use sqlite3 transactions instead of storing the values to be inserted.
- #851 Add
'first-directory'
option fororg-roam-tag-sources
- #863 Display outline hierarchy in backlinks buffer
- #898 Add
org-roam-random-note
to browse a random note. - #900 Support and index all valid org links
- #966 Enable nested captures
- #854 Warn instead of fail when duplicate refs and IDs exist.
- #857 Fix tag extraction for symlinked directories.
- #894 Perform link fixes on all Org-roam files
- #952 Cache
${foo}
template variables so they do not need to be re-entered twice
In this release, we improved the linking process by achieving feature parity between links to files and links to headlines. Before, we used the file:foo::*bar
format to link to the headline bar
in file foo
, but this was prone to breakage upon renaming the file or modifying the headline. This is not the case anymore. Now, we use org-id
to create IDs for those headlines, which are then stored in our database to compute the relationships and jump around. Note that this will work even if you’re not using org-id
in your global configuration for Org-mode.
This is a major step forward. Supporting the in-file structure of Org-mode files means that we can interface with many of its core-features like TODOs, properties, priorities, etc. UX will have to be figured out, but this release ushers in a new age in terms of functionalities.
We also add org-roam-unlinked-references
, which naively finds text that could be references to the current Org-roam file.
- #701 Use
emacsql-sqlite3
instead ofemacsql-sqlite
for better Windows compatibility. This requires the presence of the standardsqlite3
binary on your machine. - #750 Deprecate

property ororg-ref
is not installed - #759, #760 Tags are only added to the tags table if there are actually tags present
- #700, #733 Allow symlinks within the
org-roam
directory
In this release, we added two new features:
org-roam-doctor
: a linting system that helps you discover possible problems with your Org-roam files. This is in the spirit of keeping notes in top quality.- A tagging system: one can now use sub-directories, and the
#+roam_tags
key add additional meta data to notes. For more information, see here.
As usual, this release comes with a multitude of bug-fixes and refactorings.

org-roam-dev.el
for developer coding standards - #622 Online documentation now points to the Org-based documentation
To the average user, this release is mainly a bugfix release with additional options to customize. However, the changes made to the source is significant. Most notably, in this release:
- The codebase has been modularized into separate files, to ease future maintenance and adding of new features (mainly by @progfolio). Because of these changes, we had to rename many functions and variables: the old names are kept for backwards compatibility, but you are encouraged to use the new function names. You'll receive a warning when you're calling the function with its obsolete name.
- @kljohann did some fantastic work on graph generation: allowing building images for connected components within the graph up to a specified distance
- We also started supporting
org-ref
natively: cite links now show up in both the graph and the org-roam buffer.
In the coming months, you can expect work on bigger projects (e.g. revamping the org-roam buffer).
