About PaperTrail, in the app menu, showing the current version
More Support options in the Command Palette
Debug reports now include extra device info (Low Power Mode, temperature, memory, document length)

New Project is inserted at the same indent as the current line, and now works while focused
Selecting lines with Shift + Up/Down now skips over hidden (folded) lines
Templates now include example searches to learn from
Menu commands that open a dialog now end with "…"
The Command Palette is clearer and easier to dismiss

Delete (trash button or Shift+Cmd+K) now removes every selected line, not just the first
Fold to Level now works inside a focused view and collapses or expands one level at a time
The first word of a task now capitalises correctly when typing after a bullet

Pull down on the document title to start a search now works reliably
Picking a due date now works reliably with the keyboard
Editing a focused outline no longer misbehaves in rare cases
