**Usability**
* When the main window is resized, the change in size is only applied to the editor and viewer. To
resize the project tree area, the slider needs to be moved. PR #1388.
* The default text font on MacOS is now Helvetica. Issue #1463. PR #1479.

* A new Manuscript Build Tool has been added. The new tool allows for detailed handling of which
documents are included in a build, as well as a much better tool for formatting headers. It also
allows for saving multiple build presets. PRs #1389 and #1466. Issues #971, #1315 and #1448.
* ODT builds now have an accessible style for scene separators, and it is also possible to define
page size and margins from the new build tool. Issue #622. PR #1477.
* A proper light theme has been added. The default theme will usually default to light colours, but
in Qt6 it will not, so creating a proper light theme is needed. It also allows for some tweaking
of the colours. The contrast of the dark theme has been improved a bit as well, and default icon
theme is now selected based on the lightness of the background if a theme is not specified in the
theme definition file. Issues #1472 and #1473. PR #1475.

* Documents, folders and root folders can now be duplicated from the Project Tree, including all
child elements. The duplicated content is stored next to the source items, and can then be moved
to wherever the user wants a copy. Issue #1469. PR #1480.
* A set of new keyboard shortcuts have been added to make some types of navigation in the Project
Tree easier. Alt+Up and Alt+Down will move between sibling items in the tree, skipping child
items. Alt+Left will move to the parent of the selected item without triggering the collapse of
the node like the Left key does. Alt+Right does the reverse, and both expands the node and moves
to the first child in one click. Issue #1348. PRs #1488 and #1489.

**Packaging and Installation**
* Support for Python 3.7 is no longer maintained, but has not officially been dropped. It is
expected to be dropped for the final release of 2.1. PR #1452.

novelWriter. The standard Python `xml` library is used instead. The standard library is somewhat
limited, which is why it wasn't originally used, but when dropping support for Python 3.7, it is
now a better alternative. Issue #1257. PR #1452.

**Code Improvements**
* All imports of modules are now direct imports instead of going via init files. All subfolder init
files have been reduced to empty files. PR #1262.

an attribute in many classes, and is now instead accessed directly. This should give a tiny

builder class, thus separating it from any GUI module. Previously, this was baked into the build
