KMind v2.11.0 – New Bracket Connection Style & Markdown Import

Overview

This release adds a new bracket connection line style and improves the Markdown import experience, laying the groundwork for future AI‑assisted node generation workflows.

New

1. Bracket connection line style

   • Added a new “bracket” connection style for supported layouts.
   • Provides a cleaner visual grouping for child branches.
   • Works especially well together with the rainbow lines feature.

   

2. Theme Designer updates

   • Theme Designer now supports:
     • Selecting the bracket line style as part of a theme.
     • Configuring node outer margins (node margin).
   • If you have already shared a theme, you can simply share it again to publish an updated version – importing and sharing themes remains a one‑click experience.

   

3. Improved Markdown import with text paste support

   • The import dialog now supports directly pasting Markdown text (not only .md files).
   • The Markdown import pipeline has been enhanced:
     • Previously, only the first top‑level heading was used as the root; other sections were silently dropped.
     • Now, the parser tries to preserve as much information as possible:
       • It collects all top‑level structures (headings, lists, paragraphs, code blocks, etc.) and attaches them under a single root.
       • It only extracts pure text and does not parse or execute inline / block HTML (e.g. <tag>, inline HTML, scripts).

   This makes it much easier to turn existing Markdown notes into meaningful mind map structures.
