SpringNotes

****Task Improvements
* Tasks can now have comments attached so you can log your progress steps
* Task URLs can now be copied so you can add a link to a task from any other SpringNotes Note(or within the same Note) or link to a SpringNotes Task from another app. When selected, the link will open the Note and go direct to the Task in SpringNotes.
* Task comment previews and Task Comment indicator. A Task that has comments will display a small indicator at the end of the Task in iPad OS if you have a device with a trackpad or mouse you can hover over a Task with comments to display a quick preview of the comments. These features can be managed in settings
* SpringNotes now remembers the last Note you were editing on a device and will, by default, open that Note and go to the last edited location on first open. This behaviour can be managed in Settings
* Fixed a bug where found text would not highlight correctly
* Fixed a bug where deleing the last character of a numbered list prior to the number left the cursor in the wrong position
* Please visit the SpringNotes website https://SpringNotes.app for more information on these and upcoming features.

V 1.8.8
Quick bug fix in the tasks screen where changing the sort order caused the app to crash
Version 1.8.7 **Major Update**
* The text processing engine has been completely overhauled and is now significantly faster while using about 50% less system resources.
* Introduction of “Smart Delete” which is activated for a single press of the delete key in certain contexts. One example is paragraphs such as numbered lists and Headings will concatenate to a prior paragraph without leaving around the unneeded markdown characters.
* SpringNotes on the Mac now supports the page up and page down keyboard shortcuts.
* Fixed a bug where if you loaded a note and just changed a task property such as the due date and then switched notes the task was not updated.
* Rationalised the text cursor ending position while performing paragraph moves.
* Fixed a bug where if you tried to fold and unfold a paragraph twice in quick succession SpringNotes would sometimes leave the paragraph folded.

Once you see how powerful and useful this is you will be amazed! Please see the documentation on the website for full information on how to use this feature which we are pleased to offer.

* Note Previews - If you have a Mac or an iPad with a hardware keyboard and trackpad or mouse you can hover over a backlink in a note and you will see a preview of the mentioned note. If you the select this backlink you will be taken to the note.

* Added backward and forward note history navigation to quickly move between visited notes and if you have a keyboard you can move between visited notes with a key shortcut

* The app will now keep just the last 12 note versions in its Version History backup to save space

* Numerous additional performance, interface improvements and bug fixes.

* Fixed a bug where a note that was in the background did not always refresh if you had edited it and saved on another device.

Version 1.7.0

## Major Update
** This update brings many changes and improvements to SpringNotes that have taken us a while to release.

Improvements & New Features

** Backlinks are here - finally!

** Backlinks let you mention another note from the one you are currently editing - thereby creating an interlinked web of notes. As you type, you are assisted by a helper to match existing notes or you can create a mention to a new note that will be created for you when selected. When mentioned from another note, a note displays a collapsable list of all mentions at the top for easy navigation directly back to the paragraph that contains the mention. Once you see how powerful and useful this is you will be amazed! Please see the documentation on the website for full information on how to use this feature which we are pleased to offer.

* Note Previews - If you have a Mac or an iPad with a hardware keyboard and trackpad or mouse you can hover over a backlink in a note and you will see a preview of the mentioned note. If you the select this backlink you will be taken to the note.

* Added backward and forward note history navigation to quickly move between visited notes and if you have a keyboard you can move between visited notes with a key shortcut

* The app will now keep just the last 12 note versions in its Version History backup to save space

* Numerous additional performance, interface improvements and bug fixes.

* Fixed a bug where a note that was in the background did not always refresh if you had edited it and saved on another device.
