TaskNotes 4.11.0

Added

• (#730, #1897, #1942, #1998) Added Canvas Bases, an optional companion plugin that turns Obsidian Bases views into canvas-style boards and reusable JSON Canvas snapshots, with TaskNotes badges, task menus, dependency and subtask edges, and assignment zones for supported TaskNotes actions. See Canvas Bases for setup details. Thanks to @DillPickle80, @BradGaddis, @Hyadhuad, and @AlinaWithAFace for the visual planning requests, and to @renatomen, @prayidae, and @maranqz for the related discussion.
• Added a TaskNotes starter note that is created and opened automatically on first install to introduce task creation, inline conversion, and embedded Bases views.
• Added a runtime API surface for companion plugins to show or populate the standard TaskNotes task context menu.
• (#2000) Added separate settings for using the active note as a project during normal task creation and during inline task creation or instant conversion. Thanks to @BlueScreen32 for suggesting the split.
• (#1303, #2001) Added separate templates for materialized occurrence notes, including parent-level occurrence_template support and a global fallback setting. Thanks to @BrucePlumb for suggesting a separate occurrence-note template and @ak-42 for the related per-recurrence template request.
• (#2006) Added the projected local finish time beside the remaining duration while a Pomodoro is running. See Pomodoro View for the timer behavior. Thanks to @abbiefalls90 for suggesting this.
• (#2016) Added a setting for recurring external calendar event related notes, so Google, Microsoft, and ICS recurrences can either share notes across the series or keep notes limited to the selected instance. See Integrations Settings for the setting. Thanks to @akhtsang for reporting this, and to @cathywu and @mdbraber for the earlier series-linking discussion.

Changed

• (#1737) Clarified that changing the task tag does not automatically update existing Base view filters. Thanks to @goldorak00 for reporting this, and to @Domcoppinger and @imsuck for the first-time setup feedback.
• (#2005) Excluded archived task notes and archived project-note references from Task & Project Statistics. Thanks to @Xiarno for suggesting this.
• Added a local review-type lint check that catches dependency-resolution warnings from Obsidian's online review before submission.
• Improved dependency and project relationship cache updates so ordinary note edits avoid unnecessary relationship recalculation, while blocked and blocking state stays current when dependency status changes.
• Improved filter and view query caching so filter options update immediately after relevant task-field changes while large Task List, Kanban, and Calendar queries avoid repeated vault scans.
• Extended the in-app release notes bundle to include the current major release, with collapsed versions rendered only when opened.

Fixed

• (#2015) Fixed Google Calendar events from the previous six months disappearing from Calendar and Mini Calendar views after a fresh sync. Thanks to @akhtsang for reporting this.
• (#2013) Fixed task-card status and priority dots becoming oversized on touch-capable desktop devices. Thanks to @RumiaKitinari for reporting this.
• (#2009) Restored Tab and Shift+Tab focus movement in the Create new task modal's natural language input instead of letting the markdown editor indent the title. Thanks to @prepare4robots for reporting this.
• (#2007) Fixed status autocomplete in the task creation modal leaving status value fragments in the task title when the editor auto-paired the status trigger. Thanks to @prepare4robots for reporting this.
• (#2004) Fixed the Pomodoro start command forgetting the selected task after it was completed, so reopening the task lets it be picked up again. Thanks to @MPourjam for reporting this.
• (#1996) Made Kanban card drag-and-drop show a clear drop slot marker while cards are being repositioned, so the landing position remains visible during sorting. Thanks to @phillipadsmith for reporting this.
• Fixed runtime API dependency removal so removing the last dependency from a task also clears the mapped blockedBy property from the note.
