# Version 2026.07.22 - Background Tab Memory Management & Performance

This update focuses on long-running session stability, background tab resource management, and editor responsiveness.

### Performance & Memory Optimization
- **Background Tab Efficiency**: Automatically throttles non-essential background timers when Basalt Notes is in an inactive browser tab, reducing CPU and battery usage.
- **Fluid Editor Typing**: Zero-latency keystroke rendering even when editing massive notes with hundreds of inline WikiLinks.
- **Improved Recovery**: Instant workspace restoration when waking your device from sleep mode.
