Outline Files

What's Changed

Installation screen

We added a new screen when installing Outline for the first time which allows setting up a workspace in the database with email before setting up any SSO providers. This should provide an easier onboarding experience for new users.

Editor improvements

• Tables now have the ability to merge and split cells across rows and columns, use this to create more complex layouts.
• Added a new shortcut to create a table, just type |-- on a new line to insert a table.
• It is now possible to specify an exact pixel size for images in https://github.com/outline/outline/pull/9288
• Add Dart and Flutter syntax highlighting is now supported in https://github.com/outline/outline/pull/9346

OIDC improvements

We now support the .well-known discovery endpoint, meaning OIDC can be configured with just OIDC_ISSUER_URL, OIDC_CLIENT_ID, and OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET. Much simpler than the previous approach.

PKCE is now also used if the discovery endpoint signals support.
