What's new in this version:

Functionality changed or added:
Automatic merging of adjacent in-text citations:
- Works in Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs
- To merge citations, make sure they're immediately adjacent, with no spaces between them, and then press Refresh to merge them into a single citation
- Multi-item citations can still be created or modified using Add/Edit Citation

Added “Include Zotero Links” option for Rich Text/HTML Quick Copy and note export:
- Allows pasting of annotations and notes with zotero:// links into editors such as Obsidian that accept rich text by default without needing to force use of plain-text Markdown output (details)
- Automatically locate missing attachments within Linked Attachment Base Directory
- If a linked file can't be found and a Linked Attachment Base Directory is set, check whether part of the current path can be applied to the Linked Attachment Base Directory to locate the file, and offer to relink the file and any other files with the same base path

PDF reader:
