Version 10.11.0 release notes

This release adds a new Content Health section in the editor panel and a new dashboard setting to control the default opening state of the contents view.

Configure the default contents dashboard state

Issue #1036 adds the frontMatter.dashboard.content.defaults setting.

With this setting, you can preconfigure:

• The default sorting option
• The default grouping mode
• The default filter values

{
  "frontMatter.dashboard.content.defaults": {
    "sorting": "LastModifiedDesc",
    "grouping": "Year",
    "filters": {
      "contentFolders": "docs",
      "tags": "release",
      "categories": "guides"
    }
  }
}

This is useful when you want the contents dashboard to always open in a project-specific view instead of starting from the unfiltered default state.

Content Health section in the editor panel

This release adds a new Content Health section to the Front Matter panel for supported content files.

The section provides:

• A readability score (Flesch Reading Ease)
• Internal link validation
• Optional external link validation
• A freshness warning when content is older than your threshold

The feature can be configured with the new settings:

• frontMatter.contentHealth.enabled (default: true)
• frontMatter.contentHealth.checkExternalLinks (default: false)
• frontMatter.contentHealth.freshnessThreshold (default: 180 days)
• frontMatter.contentHealth.minReadability (default: 0, disabled)

{
  "frontMatter.contentHealth.enabled": true,
  "frontMatter.contentHealth.checkExternalLinks": false,
  "frontMatter.contentHealth.freshnessThreshold": 180,
  "frontMatter.contentHealth.minReadability": 45
}
