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.

Version 1.7.2  
Disables pruning of history. Please see important note on SpringNotes website for more detail if you need help for version 1.7.1 7, 1.7.0

Version 1.7.1
Fix for iOS devices without attached keyboard when entering a backlink.

### 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.

Thank you to those who have provided feedback, it really helps. We are working to ensure SpringNotes performs well for you. If you do encounter a bug please let us know as we don't want to leave any lurking around!
