Fill the blanks Default Integration

The add-on Fill in the blanks is having a major change, with a (almost) completely new integration with Anki.

In this new integration, a distinct filter is used. That is, the add-on won't override the existing type:cloze from Anki. Instead the new filter is: fill-blanks:cloze.

Only in recent versions >= 2.1.60. It starts to be the default (and only supported) integration from 2025 on.

Why

With this it'll be possible to have both behaviors. That is, the add-on and still the classic type:cloze on the desired cards. Besides that, this makes possible to use the same cards on AnkiDroid (mobile app).
In the app, no add-on works. But then, instead of messing the card up, it'll be shown as a standard cloze.

How to integrate

• Use cloze note type (like before)
• In the (NoteType) Template editor, instead of having only cloze:NameOfField, use: fill-blanks:cloze:FieldName (ex: fill-blanks:cloze:Text)

### Configuration

This is now the only supported integration. No configuration is needed in the Add-ons page.
Only the abovementioned config in the card template is needed (fill-blanks:cloze:FieldName)
