Tiro notes 0.30.99

Tiro notes 0.30.99

I have been quite busy working on Tiro and deploying it to the command line (npx tiro-notes@develop), so I left aside the binary releases. Here is an update. The goal is to increase the frequency of binary releases to one every 1-2 months.

The changelog is extensive as a lot has been going on in terms of functionalities and bug fixes. Over 100 new functionalities have been added. Special emphasis has been placed on performance improvements and stability.

I am still struggling to document everything that is being released, so it will be done gradually on the Tiro Notes website and on the blog.
