What's new in this version:

- Wikilinks and the Jump Popup. This was an extraordinarily popular request. With the help of Curio’s new Format > Jump (⌘J) popup you can now easily assign a jump action to a selected figure or, if editing a figure, insert a jump link as a rich text link, markdown wikilink [[wikilink]], or markdown link [title](link). You can also use wikilinks to create new idea spaces when they are clicked.
- Backlinks. Curio now tracks all inner project backlinks created via wikilinks, markdown jump links, and rich text jump links, as well as jump actions.
