The tags field in the editor now autocompletes from anywhere in a tag name, not only the start
Invalid field content can no longer spill out into the editing area (thanks to Henrik)
Search improvements:
Searches are new rewritten into a canonical format (eg one two becomes "one" AND "two") (thanks to Rumo)
Search error messages are now much more specific (thanks to Rumo)
is:learn, is:due and prop:due now handle more cases, such as suspended cards (thanks to Henrik)
Added prop:pos search to search for new card position (thanks to Abdo)
Added a shortcut to replace part of a search with a different search (eg changing the selected deck) (thanks to Rumo)
Support resched:x for searching for cards that were manually rescheduled in x days (thanks to Henrik)

Better ergonomics for developers (thanks to Rumo)
Graph improvements:
A number of the graphs can now be clicked on to search for the cards displayed by the graph (thanks to Henrik)

The intervals and ease graphs now covers more cases, such as suspended cards (thanks to Henrik)
Place less emphasis on outliers in the Calendar graph (thanks to Henrik)
Ignore manually scheduled cards in hour graph
Scheduler improvements:
The V2 scheduler no longer applies parent review limits to child decks Previously the limits were inconsistently applied, which could lead to the deck list not reflecting the actual number of cards you’d receive when you clicked on a deck AnkiMobile and AnkiWeb have been updated to match this behaviour, and AnkiDroid will also be updated soon Using 2141 in conjunction with older clients will not cause any problems when syncing, but you may find the deck list/review counts do not match
The V1->V2 upgrade process no longer resets cards that are in learning, or removes cards from filtered decks
Users on the old scheduler will now see a message at the top of the deck list prompting them to update to the Anki 21 scheduler
There is no option to downgrade to the V1 scheduler anymore, though you can still do so by downgrading to an older Anki version first
Reworked the Reschedule tool:
Split into separate “Forget” and “Set Due Date” actions
“Set Due Date” defaults to not adjusting the card interval
Changed the “Delete Tags” shortcut; Ctrl+Shift+D now changes the due date
Added the action to the review screen as well
Input now remembered
Other changes:
A basic sync server is now built into Anki It does not yet support media Docs are in the docs/ folder of the source tree
The title bar on Macs will now turn dark when night mode is activated
Deck descriptions of the congratulations screen can be enabled by turning markdown on in the deck options, but only 2141+ will be able to render the markdown
Add opus to media list in editor
Edit/More buttons auto-hide when window is small (thanks to Henrik)
Support Alt+number to switch between clozes in the card layout screen (thanks to Abdo)
Use monospace font in HTML editor
Improve error message when trying to nest under a filtered deck (thanks to Rumo)
Reposition dialog’s “shift cards” option now defaults to off
