# novelWriter Changelog
## Version 1.2 RC 1 [2021-03-02]
## Version 1.2 [2021-03-14]
### Release Notes
This is the release candidate of 1.2. The release is intended for testing of new features and to
sort out potential bugs before the full release. Please take this into account when working on your
live projects.
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.

Lastly, 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.

_These Release Notes also include the changes from 1.2 Beta 1._
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.
_These Release Notes also include the changes from 1.2 Beta 1 and RC 1._
### Detailed Changelog
**Bugfixes**
* Fixed an issue where a typo in a tag or reference using the `@` character would add an invalid
entry into the project index. The invalid keyword would be saved to the index cache, invalidating
the index on next load. For earlier versions of novelWriter before 1.1.1, it would also cause a
crash. Invalid keywords are now rejected during indexing. Issue #688. PR #689.
* The "Empty Trash" option was no longer working due to an earlier fix that added a requirement
that the project tree has focus to allow the emptying to procede. Since the Empty Trash feature
opens a dialog, the tree loses focus, and the deletions are therefore ignored. The focus check is
no longer considered when emptying the trash. Issue #701. PR #702.
**Documentation**
* The documentation has been updated to reflect the changes in 1.2, and a few corrections pointed
out by @jyhelle applied. PR #700.

## Version 1.1.1 [2021-02-21]
## Version 1.2 Beta 1 [2021-02-11]
### Release Notes
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.
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.
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.
### Detailed Changelog
**User Interface**
* The default GUI font on Windows is now Arial. It works better with the Qt framework than the
default system font. If Arial is missing, it falls back to the bundled font Cantarell. PR #655.
* The way word changes are calculated on the Writing Statistics tool has changed when the option to
exclude negative word counts is active. Previously, the entries with negative counts were
filtered out, but the change in count was still applied to the next line, altering the value.
Now, the GUI will instead just drop the lines that are negative and keep the other lines
unchanged. This is more intutitive, but it also means that the total count now longer matches the
sum of the lines. PR #659.
* The keyboard shortcut for deleting entries in the project tree has been changed from `Ctrl+Del`
to `Ctrl+Shift+Del`. The `Ctrl+Del` shortcut is thus free to be used exclusively by the editor to
delete the word in front of the cursor. Having the same shortcut do different things depending on
which area of the GUI has focus is a bit confusing. Related to #529. PR #666.
**Other Improvements**
* The internal spell checker, which is used when the Enchant library isn't available, has been
given a significant speed improvement by caching the imported dictionary as a Python `set`
instead of a `list`. The `set` has a hashed key lookup algorithm that is significantly faster.
PR #668.
* Sessions shortar than 5 minutes, and with no word count changes, are no longer recorded in the
session stats log file. PR #685.
**Installation**
* The PyPi packages now include the `setup.py` file, which makes it possible to install icon
launchers for novelWriter on both Linux and Windows after installing with `pip`. PR #655.
