Release 1.9.4

Redesigned Web Clipper, New Document Variables, Editor Touchups

Much like the previous minor builds had a focus, Atlas 1.9.4 focuses on the Web Clipper. On macOS, the clipper has been redesigned to match iOS, and template markup is now Knap compliant, so most Obsidian clipper templates work in Atlas without changes. Document variables are more capable, with support for metadata, references to other document titles, new export variables, and a dedicated editor. This release also includes Markdown Editor refinements, and a fix for metadata dates drifting across timezones.
