Notes with history
I find myself updating the notes on a project's next action a lot as things change, or when I shift the action from some context to @Waiting For. It would be neat if a history was kept every time the notes field was updated. This would create a journal or diary on each task as it was updated.

Interesting. Just to clarify, do you mean that you edit the actions's notes, or a project note (i.e. one attached to a project, rather than a next action. I know it means doing it manually, but you could just keep all the previous notes, and add the new one at the top or bottom, prefixed with a timestamp. I'm not sure how much extra a history (stored separately) would give you, particularly as the notes are hidden by default anyway, so you're not cluttering the view by adding more notes.
yes, I edit the action's notes. What you've described for the project's notes is almost exactly what I imagined for the action's notes. As I complete tasks I'm often updating the notes with more information, and as I suggested this by deafualt creates a journal or diary if each version is stored. Not sure how you'd display it. Maybe just the latest with an option to view the history.
