Some of the FSRS changes are:
Category: Anki
-
Some noteworthy changes are:
- All versions have been updated to Qt 6.6
- The Linux Qt6 build requires a newer glibc, so older distros like Debian 11 won’t work with it.
-
It is considered a major revolutionary release that adds support for many FSRS features and I am very excited about it 🙂
-
“Compared to rc3, the only changes are updated translations and these two fixes:
- Fix error on ‘Previous Card Info’ when deleting a note by @abdnh in #2790
- Fix HTML editor not displaying properly when expanding field by @hikaru-y in #2792″
-
Before FSRS was natively supported in Anki the user must insert the scheduling algorithm into the custom scheduling field.
In order to display the FSRS stats during reviews the following parameter was modified:
const display_memory_state = true;
The question is if there is a way to regain this capability or even if it is desired so by the devs 🙂

So this commit displays errors organized by each addon and auto-disables them on start-up. If you click the addon names it redirects you to their webpage on https://ankiweb.net/shared/addons.
I find this change very good as previously you would receive 100 lines of error codes without knowing which addon is responsible.

After 12 years, from age 17 to age 29, of using every spaced repetition tool under the sun to learn all kinds of weird little things, this is the advice I have to give to anyone feeling like they’re dying under the burden of Anki repetitions.
Every minute of your life which passes resculpts, often imperceptibly, the way your neurons are wired together. Anki is a tool which allows you to get certain neurons to fire together at an interval which science has loosely deemed ‘optimal’ for keeping them wired together.
That’s it. That’s all it does. And you can choose anything to put in there. Your shoe size. The names and faces of your coworkers. Pictures from your wedding. Videos of your kids playing in a sprinkler park. The last words of famous men. Leetcode problems. A simple list of life lessons you discovered when you were younger and decided it made sense to steer by. Things you notice make your 2 year old niece howl with laughter. Mistakes you will never make again. Gwern’s list of ordinary life improvements since the 1990s. Photos of delicious things you made with instructions on the back. An instruction to mentally run up and down the Lydian scale on a fretboard. Minecraft recipes. The names of different kinds of clouds.
It is up to you. But no matter what, at the end of the day, all you are doing is sculpting your brain. Don’t fall hostage to the chisel.
