<h3 style="text-align: center;">GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Version 3, 29 June 2007</p>
<p>Copyright &copy; 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
&lt;<a href="https://fsf.org/">https://fsf.org/</a>&gt;</p><p>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.</p>
<h3><a name="preamble"></a>Preamble</h3>
<p>The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
software and other kinds of works.</p>
<p>The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
your programs, too.</p>
<p>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.</p>
<p>To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.</p>
<p>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.</p>
<p>Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.</p>
<p>For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions.</p>
<p>Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.</p>
<p>Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.</p>
<p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.</p>
<h3><a name="terms"></a>TERMS AND CONDITIONS</h3>
<h4><a name="section0"></a>0. Definitions.</h4>
<p>&ldquo;This License&rdquo; refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Copyright&rdquo; also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
works, such as semiconductor masks.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The Program&rdquo; refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
License. Each licensee is addressed as &ldquo;you&rdquo;. &ldquo;Licensees&rdquo; and
&ldquo;recipients&rdquo; may be individuals or organizations.</p>
<p>To &ldquo;modify&rdquo; a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a &ldquo;modified version&rdquo; of the
earlier work or a work &ldquo;based on&rdquo; the earlier work.</p>
<p>A &ldquo;covered work&rdquo; means either the unmodified Program or a work based
on the Program.</p>
<p>To &ldquo;propagate&rdquo; a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.</p>
<p>To &ldquo;convey&rdquo; a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.</p>
<p>An interactive user interface displays &ldquo;Appropriate Legal Notices&rdquo;
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.</p>
<h4><a name="section1"></a>1. Source Code.</h4>
<p>The &ldquo;source code&rdquo; for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it. &ldquo;Object code&rdquo; means any non-source
form of a work.</p>
<p>A &ldquo;Standard Interface&rdquo; means an interface that either is an official
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
is widely used among developers working in that language.</p>
<p>The &ldquo;System Libraries&rdquo; of an executable work include anything, other
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
&ldquo;Major Component&rdquo;, in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Corresponding Source&rdquo; for a work in object code form means all
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
subprograms and other parts of the work.</p>
<p>The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
Source.</p>
<p>The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
same work.</p>
<h4><a name="section2"></a>2. Basic Permissions.</h4>
<p>All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.</p>
<p>You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.</p>
<p>Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
makes it unnecessary.</p>
<h4><a name="section3"></a>3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.</h4>
<p>No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
measures.</p>
<p>When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.</p>
<h4><a name="section4"></a>4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.</h4>
<p>You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.</p>
<p>You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.</p>
<h4><a name="section5"></a>5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.</h4>
<p>You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
it, and giving a relevant date.</li>
<li>b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
released under this License and any conditions added under section
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
&ldquo;keep intact all notices&rdquo;.</li>
<li>c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.</li>
<li>d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
work need not make them do so.</li>
</ul>
<p>A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
&ldquo;aggregate&rdquo; if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
parts of the aggregate.</p>
<h4><a name="section6"></a>6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.</h4>
<p>You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange.</li>
<li>b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.</li>
<li>c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
with subsection 6b.</li>
<li>d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.</li>
<li>e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
charge under subsection 6d.</li>
</ul>
<p>A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying the object code work.</p>
<p>A &ldquo;User Product&rdquo; is either (1) a &ldquo;consumer product&rdquo;, which means any
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, &ldquo;normally used&rdquo; refers to a
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
the only significant mode of use of the product.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Installation Information&rdquo; for a User Product means any methods,
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
modification has been made.</p>
<p>If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
been installed in ROM).</p>
<p>The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.</p>
<p>Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying.</p>
<h4><a name="section7"></a>7. Additional Terms.</h4>
<p>&ldquo;Additional permissions&rdquo; are terms that supplement the terms of this
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.</p>
<p>When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.</p>
<p>Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:</p>
<ul>
<li>a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or</li>
<li>b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or</li>
<li>c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or</li>
<li>d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
authors of the material; or</li>
<li>e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or</li>
<li>f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and authors.</li>
</ul>
<p>All other non-permissive additional terms are considered &ldquo;further
restrictions&rdquo; within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
not survive such relicensing or conveying.</p>
<p>If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.</p>
<p>Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above requirements apply either way.</p>
<h4><a name="section8"></a>8. Termination.</h4>
<p>You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
paragraph of section 11).</p>
<p>However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.</p>
<p>Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.</p>
<p>Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
material under section 10.</p>
<h4><a name="section9"></a>9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.</h4>
<p>You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.</p>
<h4><a name="section10"></a>10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.</h4>
<p>Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.</p>
<p>An &ldquo;entity transaction&rdquo; is a transaction transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.</p>
<p>You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.</p>
<h4><a name="section11"></a>11. Patents.</h4>
<p>A &ldquo;contributor&rdquo; is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
work thus licensed is called the contributor's &ldquo;contributor version&rdquo;.</p>
<p>A contributor's &ldquo;essential patent claims&rdquo; are all patent claims
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, &ldquo;control&rdquo; includes the right to grant
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.</p>
<p>Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the contents of its contributor version.</p>
<p>In the following three paragraphs, a &ldquo;patent license&rdquo; is any express
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To &ldquo;grant&rdquo; such a patent license to a
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.</p>
<p>If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
license to downstream recipients. &ldquo;Knowingly relying&rdquo; means you have
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe are valid.</p>
<p>If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works based on it.</p>
<p>A patent license is &ldquo;discriminatory&rdquo; if it does not include within
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.</p>
<p>Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.</p>
<h4><a name="section12"></a>12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.</h4>
<p>If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.</p>
<h4><a name="section13"></a>13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.</h4>
<p>Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
combination as such.</p>
<h4><a name="section14"></a>14. Revised Versions of this License.</h4>
<p>The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.</p>
<p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
Public License &ldquo;or any later version&rdquo; applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.</p>
<p>If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
to choose that version for the Program.</p>
<p>Later license versions may give you additional or different
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
later version.</p>
<h4><a name="section15"></a>15. Disclaimer of Warranty.</h4>
<p>THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM &ldquo;AS IS&rdquo; WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

<h2>Release Notes for 1.5 Beta 1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 22 August 2021</i></p>
<p>This is a beta release of the next release version, and is intended for testing purposes. Please
be careful when using this version on live writing projects, and make sure you make frequent
backups.</p>
<p>This release introduces a new project file format, which has been given a file format version
1.3. The project file and index is updated automatically when you open the project, which means you
can no longer open it in an older version of novelWriter.</p>
<p>You may also have to make a handful of changes in your novel documents as these are not updated
automatically. However, the changes are minimal and in any case only affects the way your
manuscript looks like when exported via the Build Novel Project tool. The details are described
below.</p>
<h4>Novel Document Layouts</h4>
<p>The main change in this release is the significant simplification of document layouts.
Previously, there were seven different layouts available for novel documents, in addition to the
one layout for project notes. The original intention of these layouts were partially to define some
default formatting behaviour when exporting your project, and partially a way to indicate whether a
specific document was a partition, chapter or scene.</p>
<p>With this release, all the seven layouts for novel documents have been merged into a single
layout called simply "Novel Document". The other layout for "Project Note" remains unchanged. The
functionality provided by the various novel layouts have been implemented in other ways, and a few
new formatting codes have been added to accommodate the formatting functionality lost with the
removal of the layouts. They are all available in the Format and Insert menu.</p>
<p>The changes you need to make to your project should be limited to altering a handful of titles
and maybe insert a page break code here and there. The only title formats you need to update are
those for the main novel title and for your unnumbered chapters, if you have any.</p>
<p>Novel titles need to be altered from "<span class="alt"># Novel Title</span>" to
"<span class="alt">#! Novel Title</span>" and unnumbered chapters from "<span class="alt">##
Chapter Name</span>" or "<span class="alt">## *Chapter Name</span>" to "<span class="alt">##!
Chapter Name</span>". That is all. For inserting page breaks, you can add a single line with the
command "<span class="alt">[NEW PAGE]</span>" where you want the break to be inserted. As before,
page breaks are automatically inserted in front of all partition and chapter titles.</p>
<p>You will find these changes described in more detail the documentation in the
"<a href="https://novelwriter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage_projectformat.html#a-prjfmt-1-3">Format
1.3 Changes</a>" section.</p>
<h4>GUI Changes</h4>
<p>Due to the above changes, the GUI has been altered a bit. The main changes are in the project
tree. These changes are also reflected in the details panel below the project tree, and to a lesser
extent in the Outline tab.</p>
<p>The layouts were previously a way to indicate the purpose of a specific novel document, like
whether it was a chapter or scene. With these layouts gone, the distinction is instead indicated by
other visual means.</p>
<p>The project index will now record the level of the first header of your document, and select a
different icon for documents with a partition, chapter or scene header. These are colour coded as
green, red and blue respectively. This only works for the coloured icon themes. The project notes
have also received a new icon, with a yellow colour code.</p>
<p>In addition, novel documents with a partition or chapter header will have the document label
viewed as bold and underlined. This feature can be disabled in Preferences if you want a cleaner
look in the project tree.</p>
<h4>Other Changes</h4>
<p>Several improvements have been made to the project index, which means the index will be
automatically rebuilt when you open a project for the first time in the new version. You will get a
notification about this.</p>
<p>The ODT export tool has also been improved. The code that writes out text paragraphs has been
rewritten and now conforms more closely to the Open Document standard. Most of these improvements
will not be noticeable to you as a user, but you may notice that the exported document will now
allow multiple consecutive spaces. Previously, two spaces, or more, would be concatenated into a
single space in the exported document.</p>

<h2>Release Notes for 1.0.4</h2>
<p><i>Released on 3 February 2021</i></p>
<p>This patch release fixes a couple of minor issues with the Preferences dialog and the behaviour
of one of the keyboard shortcuts.</p>
<p>Aside from these fixes, the main point of this patch is to add new setup features for
novelWriter on Windows. A Windows installer will no longer be provided for the foreseeable future,
and instead functionality has been added to the main setup script to create desktop and start menu
icons.</p>
<p><i>The full changelog is available
<a href="https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md">here</a>.</i></p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.0.3</h2>
<p><i>Released on 24 January 2021</i></p>
<p>This patch release fixes a minor bug sometimes encountered when running novelWriter from command
line on Windows. In addition, the Solarized Dark and Solarized Light themes have been added to the
selection of GUI and syntax themes by a user contribution.</p>
<p>The main change in this release is to the install scripts and the documentation related to
installing and running novelWriter. The primary change is a different method of packaging the app
for Windows. Instead of building an <i>.exe</i> file, the new setup instead builds a runnable zip
file <i>.pyz</i>. The executable would often be mistakenly flagged by virus control software due to
the packaging tools. This is a known problem with pyinstaller and similar tools, but such warnings
are always concerning even if they are false positives.</p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.0.2</h2>
<p><i>Released on 19 January 2021</i></p>
<p>This patch release fixes a few minor cosmetic issues, a minor issue with the indexer, and a bug
when adding words to the user's own spell check dictionary. Additionally, the documentation has
been updated based on user feedback, and some install issues resolved.</p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.0.1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 10 January 2021</i></p>
<p>This release is mainly to bring the documentation up to date, as I forgot to update the install
instructions in the original 1.0 release. I also forgot to change the various settings and help
texts that describe novelWriter as under initial development (beta state).</p>
<p>Some minor improvements have been made to the "Edit Project Item" dialog and some restrictions
on the settings available for documents created in the "Outtakes" folder relaxed. A few minor
issues with the document and project changed icons on the status bar have also been resolved. The
indicators were previously set to changed status even if no actual change had been made to the
project.</p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.0</h2>
<p><i>Released on 3 January 2021</i></p>
<p>Based on my own testing and usage, and no serious bugs discovered in quite some time (aside from
a few corner case issues), it appears that novelWriter is stable enough for a 1.0 release. Thanks
to all the new users who keep providing feedback on bugs, cosmetic issues, or suggesting
improvements and new features. I'm glad to hear that others find my application useful, and I will
keep making improvements as I get new suggestions and have new ideas myself. At the same time, I
will continue to keep novelWriter simple and clean and avoid feature-bloat.</p>
<p>This release mainly fixes cosmetic and other minor issues to the user interface and makes a few
minor improvements to some less used features. Aside from this, nothing major has changed since the
last release candidate.</p>
<p>This release concludes over two years of tinkering with this project. The project grew out of
numerous lunch and coffee discussions with my colleague Marian Lückhof at my former job. We were
both looking for a tool for writing novels on Linux that suited our needs. We started assembling a
wish list of features that has become novelWriter. In addition, users on GitHub have continued to
test new features, provide very helpful feedback, and make new suggestions for improvements.
Especially the feedback from @johnblommers has been helpful during much of the initial development
time. Over the last months more users have started posting ideas and feedback. Thanks to all of you
for your contributions.</p>
<p>The 1.0 release is intended as a first release of the core features of novelWriter. That does
not mean that all planned features have been fully implemented. There is a long list of ideas and
suggestions to consider and implement. New ideas and suggestions are welcome. Either as feature
requests in the issue tracker, or if not fully formed, can be discussed on the
<a href="https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/discussions">discussions page</a>.
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.0 RC2</h2>
<p><i>Released on 13 December 2020</i></p>
<p>This second release candidate for 1.0 comes with only minor changes and improvements, and a
handful of minor bugfixes.</p>
<p>Among the improvements is the addition of all the possible @-keywords for tags and references to
the "Insert" menu under the sub-menu "Tags and References". The "Help" menu has also received a few
improvements and additional links to useful webpages. This release also adds a "Release" notes tab
to the "About novelWriter" dialog. The release notes are displayed automatically the first time you
launch novelWriter after updating to a new version.</p>
<p>Among the fixes is better support for high resolution screens. A few elements on the GUI did not
scale properly, among them the document editor and viewer header and footer. These were clipped on
high res screens due to an underlying issue with the Qt widget underestimating how much space it
required to accommodate the text. Unfortunately, dragging the novelWriter app between screens of
different scaling factors is not currently supported. However, the GUI should scale properly to the
scaling factor on the screen it is opened on.</p>
<p>The work leading up to this release has mostly been focused on improving the test coverage of
the source code of novelWriter. This helps to ensure that the code does what it is intended to do,
and is able to handle corner cases and unexpected external errors and user actions that may occur.
While writing these tests, a number of minor potential issues have been uncovered and handled. Most
of these are corner cases that may not even be reachable by unexpected user actions.</p>
<p>Hopefully, these changes have resulted in an even more stable version of novelWriter. If no more
issues are discovered, the next release will be the final version 1.0 release.</p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.0 RC1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 16 November 2020</i></p>
<p>This is the first release candidate for the upcoming release of novelWriter 1.0.</p>
<p>Since the fifth beta release about four weeks ago, not much has been changed in novelWriter. A
few minor tweaks have been made to the GUI.</p>
<p>A number of features and tools are now automatically switched off when there is no project or
document open for those features to act upon. Previously, this was a bit inconsistent, although no
serious bugs have been reported or encountered.</p>
<p>Most of the minor changes in this release should not be noticeable to most users. However, there
are a couple of noticeable changes.</p>
<h3>Typewriter Mode</h3>
<p>The "Typewriter Mode" of the editor has been improved. Essentially, this feature is a sort of
smart scroll. It tries to keep the cursor stationary in the vertical direction, and will try to
scroll the document up when the cursor skips to a new line while typing (or down in case of
backspaces). This is similar to the way a typewriter scrolls the paper when hitting the return key.
It improves the writing experience as the current active line will stay at the same eye height
level on the screen.</p>
<p>Previously, the feature would lock the cursor to a given vertical position defined by the user.
Now, instead, the cursor will remain stationary in the vertical direction at any position the user
sets it to by mouse click or keyboard navigation. The user can define a minimum distance from the
top where this feature is activated. These changes makes it more flexible in terms of where the
focus is in the editor. The feature can be controlled from the main Preferences.</p>
<h3>Switching Syntax Theme</h3>
<p>It is now possible to switch syntax highlighting theme without restarting novelWriter.
Previously, changing the theme would only half-way update the document, header and footer
background and text colours. The new settings would not be fully applied until the application was
shut down and started again, thus making it a bit tedious to look through syntax themes to find the
one you want.</p>
<p>Switching main GUI theme still requires a restart.</p>

<h2>Release Notes for 1.1.1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 21 February 2021</i></p>
<p>This patch makes a couple of minor improvements to the GUI. The keyboard shortcut for deleting
entries in the project tree has been changed from "Ctrl+Del" to "Ctrl+Shift+Del" to free up that
shortcut for the document editor. It is now possible to use the shortcut for deleting the word in
front of the cursor, a common and useful feature of many text editors.</p>
<p>The way the negative word count filter option works on the Writing Statistics tool has been
changed to be more intuitive. Enabling this filter now appears to remove all negative entries
without altering the other entries. Previously, the removed negative counts would be included in
the following entries to make it consistent with the total word count. In addition, writing
sessions shorter than five minutes, and with no change in the word count, are no longer recorded in
the session log file.</p>
<p>Other changes include improving the speed of the internal spell checker, used when the Enchant
spell check library isn't available. The internal spell checker is no longer significantly slower,
but is still lacking in functionality compared to Enchant.</p>
<p><i>See also the <a href="https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/releases">Releases</a> page.</i></p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 7 February 2021</i></p>
<p>The main change in this release is the addition of a new tab to the project tree on the left
side of the main window. The regular project tree is now on a tab named "Project", while a new tab
named "Novel" displays a simpler version of the information on the main "Outline" page. It lists
all the headers of the novel part of the project, as well as the word count and point-of-view
character of each section. This is an alternative way to navigate the novel part of the project.
The various tree views are now also kept better in sync when the user selects various documents and
headers.</p>
<p>In addition, a new information dialog named "Project Details" has been added. It replaces the
"Details" tab in "Project Settings", and adds more information about the novel part of the project.
In particular, a "Table of Contents" in the "Contents" tab displays a summary of the main parts
and chapters of the project, their total word counts, and an estimated page count. This was made in
response to users asking for ways to estimate the total page count of the project. The page count
is estimated based on a words per page setting, which can be changed on the dialog window.</p>
<p>Since the tabs below the project tree now add some extra room on the GUI, some convenient
buttons have been added in the same area, with direct access to "Project Details", "Writing
Statistics" and "Project Setting".</p>
<p>A few other minor changes have been made as well. The Preferences dialog has been improved with
clearer categories and hopefully better help text. Some new options have been added too. They allow
syntax highlighting of multi-paragraph quotes. The highlighter can now optionally accept quotes to
be left "hanging", that is, no closing quote in the same paragraph.</p>

<h2>Release Notes for 1.2.2</h2>
<p><i>Released on 28 March 2021</i></p>
<p>This patch release is a bug fix release addressing some inconsistencies and issues with the
document header buttons when Focus Mode is active. The keyboard shortcuts for search and replace
should now also work in Focus Mode. In addition, the setup script for novelWriter has been improved
when installing on Windows.</p>
<p><i>See also the <a href="https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/releases">Releases</a> page.</i></p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.2.1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 21 March 2021</i></p>
<p>This patch release is a bug fix release addressing issues with the document editor's search and
replace tool. Due to some recently added restrictions on when various tools are active, depending
on which part of the main window has the user's focus, the search tool keyboard shortcuts and
buttons were blocked when they shouldn't. This release resolves these issues.</p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.2</h2>
<p><i>Released on 14 March 2021</i></p>
<p>This release is mainly focused on the Build Novel Project tool. Completely new export classes
have been written to support Open Document and Markdown exports. In addition, the way document
layouts are handled have been automated a little to assist the user in keeping header levels and
document layout flags in sync. The third new additoion is the ability to record and log idle time
during a writing session to improve the writing statistics information as requested by several
users. Finally, it is now possible to directly edit the project dictionary via a new, simple GUI
dialog.</p>
<h3>The Build Novel Project Tool</h3>
<p>The main changes for this release are to the Build Novel Project tool. The Open Document export,
as well as the Markdown export, is now handled entirely by code written for novelWriter.
Previously, these export features depended on the underlying Qt library's save routines connected
to the preview document shown in the build dialog. Using this method of export both meant that the
content of the document was dependent on the preview being generated first, and it also meant that
the exported document had limited support for novelWriter-specific features and custom formatting.
The new export class should generate a much better result, especially for the Open Document
formats. The Open Document standard is supported by Open Office, Libre Office, Google Docs,
Microsoft Word, and probably a number of other applications too. The Markdown export hasn't changed
a lot, but should be a slight improvement on the previous export feature.</p>
<p>These changes to the build tool also imply that the saving process is now independent of the
content of the preview window, meaning you don't have to rebuild the preview before saving, which
was previously the case. To make this more consistent, the PDF export option has been moved to the
print button as it is actually a print-to-file feature under the hood, not technically a proper PDF
export format. It is exactly the same as printing to file from the print preview dialog.</p>
<p>In addition to the changes to the export features, the Build Novel Project tool now also has
controls for line height, which applies to all rich text export formats, and the option to replace
unicode characters with appropriate html entities for html export.</p>
<h3>Document Layout Automation</h3>
<p>Among other changes in this release are a few improvements to the process of creating and
changing documents. When a new document is first created, the header is generated from the assigned
label and layout.</p>
<p>In addition, for some document layouts, when the user changes the header level of the first
header of the document, the document layout setting is updated accordingly. This should reduce the
need for the user to maintain two ways of assigning the role of a given document. This automation
only applies to combinations of header level and current document layouts where there is no
ambiguity. For instance, changing the header level in a "Scene" document from level 3 to 2 changes
the document layout automatically to "Chapter". But changing the first header of a "Book" layout
document from 1 to 2 does not change the document's layout as the "Book" layout is a generic
document layout and it's perfectly reasonable for its first header to be a chapter header.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that novelWriter treats documents with layout "Book", "Chapter" and "Scene" exactly
the same during exports. The distinction is only meant as a way to indicate the purpose of a
document in the project tree. This new automation is meant to assist in keeping this information up
to date. The other layouts do have an effect on formatting during export, and are generally left
alone.</p>
<h3>The Session Timer and Idle Time</h3>
<p>Another change that has been requested by a couple of users is to have the session timer in the
status bar stop counting when the user is inactive (idle). This feature is optional, and can be
controlled from Preferences. The definition of "idle" in this context is either that the user is
active in a different application than novelWriter (loss of focus) or that the user has not made
any changes to the current document for a given amount of time. The time threshold is by default
five minutes, but can be altered in Preferences.</p>
<p>In addition, the idle time is also recorded in the session log, and can be viewed in the Writing
Statistics dialog and exported with the rest of the information. The idle time is recorder in the
logs regardless of whether the status bar clock takes idle time into consideration or not. So even
if you turn off the idle time switch in Preferences, the other idle time setting still affects the
writing stats log entries.</p>
<h3>Other Changes</h3>
<p>The user dictionary of the project, where words added to the dictionary from the document editor
go, can now be viewed and edited with a new "Project Word List" tool in the "Tools" menu.</p>
<p>A small additional feature added is also the ability to undo the last move of an item in the
project tree. The keyboard shortcut for this is `Ctrl+Shift+Z`, or it can be accessed from the
menu. The feature can only undo the last move, but it includes both documents moved to trash, moves
by up/down keypress or menu entries, and drag and drop moves.</p>
<p>A new keyword has been added to mark characters in the story. The new keyword is intended to tag
a character as the focus character for a chapter or scene. This is useful for stories where the
point-of-view character and the focus character are different.</p>
<p>Lastly, two bugfixes have been made as well. The Empty Trash feature was no longer working due
to an earlier fix solving another issue. The feature has now been restored. In addition, the
indexer now checks that a keyword (tag or reference) is valid before saving it to the index.
Previously, an invalid keyword could be saved to the index and potentially crash the application.

<h2>Release Notes for 1.3.3</h2>
<p><i>Released on 13 June 2021</i></p>
<p>This patch release fixes a potential file encoding issue when running setup on Windows, and a
minor issue with the project word count not being updated immediately when a file is deleted. In
addition, the keyboard shortcuts to change focus between the project tree, the editor, the viewer,
and the outline panel, have been changed for Windows users. They keyboard shortcuts were
interfering with the Alt codes used for special characters. The shortcuts are unchanged for Linux
and macOS.</p>
<p><i>See also the <a href="https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/releases">Releases</a> page.</i></p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.3.2</h2>
<p><i>Released on 30 May 2021</i></p>
<p>This is a patch release that fixes some minor issues. One issue was with the split tool, which
would drop the last line from the source document during a split if it was missing a final line
break. A minor issue with the display of word counts on the details panel under the project tree
has also been fixed. In addition, the setup script commands for Linux have been improved a bit.</p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.3.1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 6 May 2021</i></p>
<p>This is a patch release primarily to fix a problem with the Qt translation library used to make
novelWriter available in multiple languages. One of the function calls made to the library was
added recently, in Qt 5.15, which many users on Linux will not have installed on their system. The
issue could be resolved by updating the library, but it's an unnecessary and inconvenient
restriction.</p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.3</h2>
<p><i>Released on 2 May 2021</i></p>
<p>The main feature of the 1.3 release is internationalisation. The release introduces support for
Portuguese, French, and Norwegian for the main GUI, in addition to the default English. The
settings for choosing the GUI language can be found in the main Preferences.</p>
<p>The implementation is such that the projects themselves can use a different language than the
one selected for the GUI. To allow for better support for multiple language projects, the Build
Novel Project tool has the added option to select the language of the injected text into exported
documents. In particularly for the number words that can be added for chapter headers. Available
languages here are the same as mentioned above for the main GUI, plus German.</p>
<p>Settings have also been added in Preferences to allow for automatic injection of spaces or
non-breaking spaces in front of, or behind, certain characters. These are features generally
available in text editors for French, but the implementation in novelWriter simply makes them a
free text box where you can list all characters or symbols where you want a space added
automatically.</p>
<p>The translation files for this release have been provided by Bruno Meneguello for the Portuguese
translation, by Jan Lüdke (jyhelle) for the French translation, by Veronica Berglyd Olsen for the
Norwegian translation as well as the minor modifications for US English, and Marian Lückhof
provided the translation file for chapter numbers in German.</p>
<p>The work to rewrite novelWriter to allow for internationalisation was done by Bruno Meneguello
and Veronica Berglyd Olsen.</p>

<h2>Release Notes for 1.4.1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 27 July 2021</i></p>
<p>This release fixes a couple of minor issue with some of the dialog boxes. The fix was
accidentally left out of release 1.4.</p>
<p><i>See also the <a href="https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/releases">Releases</a> page.</i></p>
<hr/>
<h2>Release Notes for 1.4</h2>
<p><i>Released on 27 July 2021</i></p>
<p>This release contains some new features and a lot of code refactoring. Among the main new
features is paragraph alignment and indentation. Regular line breaks within paragraphs are now also
supported. The changes are described in more detail below.</p>
<h3>Internationalisation</h3>
<p>Translation files have been added for Simplified Chinese by Qianzhi Long.</p>
<h3>Line Breaks</h3>
<p>The way line breaks inside paragraphs work has been changed. A single line break is now treated
as a proper line break and will show up in the document viewer and exported documents. A single
line break does not start a new paragraph, but forces a break inside the paragraph like a Shift +
Enter does in most rich text editors. Two line breaks is still needed to start a new paragraph.</p>
<p>The old syntax of adding two spaces at the end of a line to force a line break within a
paragraph will still work as before, so there is no need to change your existing text if you've
used this feature. However, there is a new highlighting feature that will show you where in the
text you have redundant spaces. If you are used to having double spaces between sentences, you may
want to switch off this highlighting feature in Preferences as it will also detect those.</p>
<p>A helper function has been added to the Format menu that can look through a paragraph and remove
line breaks in case you've been using line breaks inside your existing text under the assumption
that the exporter and viewer will ignore them.</p>
<p>I hope this change will not be too inconvenient. I believe the new behaviour will make more
sense for most people. Especially considering some of the feedback I've gotten on how line breaks
work. The original implementation was following the Markdown standard, but since novelWriter is not
a proper Markdown editor and instead just borrows from Markdown, this behaviour always seemed a bit
unnecessary.</p>
<h3>Text Alignment and Indentation</h3>
<p>The default text alignment is left or justified based on your preferences. For documents with
the layout set to Title Page or Partitions, the default is centred. However, sometimes you may
want to override this default. A new set of codes have therefore been added to allow specifying
alignment as well as additional text margins on individual paragraphs.</p>
<p>The logic of the syntax is as follows:</p>
<p>A single angle bracket will push the text away from the edge it points away from. Therefore, a
single '&gt;' before the paragraph, or a single '&lt;' after the paragraph, will add indentation on
the respective side. It's perfectly valid to do this on both sides at the same time.</p>
<p>A double set of angle brackets will push the text all the way towards the opposite side.
Therefore, a double set of '&gt;&gt;' before the paragraph will indicate right alignment, and a
double set of '&lt;&lt;' after the paragraph will force left alignment. Also here both can be used
at the same time, which results in the paragraph being centred.</p>
<p>Format menu entries and keyboard shortcuts have been added so that you don't have to memorise
these codes.</p>
