    [Updates]
    
    v1.3.14 (2026/05/25)
    * Added bilingual (English/Japanese) text support for the Settings page
    The Settings page now follows your Language setting (en/ja), and section headings, descriptions, tab names, and sort options are displayed in the selected language.
    
    * Applied language changes instantly without reload
    You can now switch language while keeping the Settings page open, and all displayed text updates immediately.
    
    v1.3.11 (2026/05/22)
    * Added nested list conversion for full-width-space-prefixed "・"
    We revised Settings -> multibyte -> Enable convert rules so lines starting with ` ・` are now correctly converted into nested Markdown lists.
    
    * Changed the default breaks setting to ON
    The Markdown Settings breaks option is now enabled by default, so notes with line breaks are displayed more naturally.
    
    v1.3.10 (2026/05/22)
    * Moved the delete action to each note item in the list
    The delete action is now available directly on each note item, making it easier to remove the intended note.
    
    * Separated view switching and destructive actions
    We removed the delete action from the footer to avoid mixing it with view mode switching (F8/F9/F10).
    
    v1.3.9 (2026/05/22)
    * Visualized the selected view mode
    The currently selected mode (F8/F9/F10) is now highlighted by button color, making the current state easier to understand.
    
    * Saved and restored the selected view mode
    Your last selected view mode is now persisted and restored when you open the app again.
    
    v1.3.7 (2026/05/19)
    * Improved the timing of Markdown autocompletion popups
    Unintended suggestion popups are now suppressed so completions appear only when needed.
    
    * Show completion suggestions with Ctrl+Space
    Suggestions are now explicitly shown with Ctrl+Space to reduce interruption while typing.
    
    v1.3.6 (2026/05/12)
    * Added instant Privacy Blur activation with F6
    When you need to hide the screen immediately, pressing F6 now enables Privacy Blur on the spot and switches to a blurred view right away.
    
    * Fixed an issue where Privacy Blur did not work correctly
    
    v1.3.5 (2026/05/11)
    * Fixed delayed note update reflection
    Resolved an issue where updates made in another tab could appear with a delay, so the latest content is now shown more smoothly.
    
    * Adjusted export reminder animation for new installations
    For new installations, the export reminder bounce animation is suppressed for the first 30 days to improve initial usability and visual comfort.
    
    v1.3.3 (2026/05/07)
    * Added idle timeout detection to Privacy Blur
    The screen will automatically blur after 5 minutes of inactivity, even while the window is focused. Click to instantly remove the blur.
    
    * Added hover tooltips and F8-F10 hotkey support for view toggle buttons
    Added descriptions to the edit/preview/column view toggle buttons and can now be controlled with F8, F9, and F10 keys.
    
    * Added export button to sidebar footer
    An export button is now permanently displayed at the bottom of the note list for easier backup.
    
    v1.3.0 (2026/05/07)

    You can now draw diagrams using Mermaid syntax — flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and more. Toggle it on or off in settings.
    
    v1.2.0 (2026/05/05)
    * Auto-reload when another tab updates your note
    When the same note is open in multiple tabs and updated elsewhere, it reloads automatically. If you are currently editing, a copy is created so you can continue without losing your work.
    
    * Improved sidebar usability
    Added a toggle button for the sidebar, and you can now switch between notes using the up/down arrow keys.
    
    * Added Unicode Highlight and Minimap editor settings
    New ON/OFF options for "Unicode Highlight (Ambiguous Characters)" and "Minimap" are now available in the editor settings.
    
    v1.1.5 (2026/05/04)
    * Updated internal libraries for improved security
    Internal libraries have been updated to their latest versions, enhancing overall security and stability.
