In addition, the Solarized Dark and Solarized Light themes have been added to the +selection of GUI and syntax themes by a user contribution. + +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 `.exe` file, the new setup instead builds a runnable zip file +`.pyz`. 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. + +### Detailed Changelog + +**Bug Fixes** + +* Fix crash when starting novelWriter from command line on Windows from a different mounted drive + than where it is installed. This was caused by a relative path lookup that defaulted to the wrong + current directory. This works on Linux/macOS which have a common root path, but not on Windows. + Issue #581, PR #587. + +**User Interface** + +* Added Solarized Dark and Solarized Light GUI and syntax themes. PR #578 by @nullbasis. +* The Typewriter Scroll Mode now works better in combination with the Scroll Past End feature. The + scroll mode still only works when there is actually any document to scroll into, but previously + it would also not work until the total length of the document reached 40% of the height of the + editor window. This was quite confusing. This limit is now reduced to 10%, which means that as + long as the Scroll Past End option is enabled, the Typewriter Scroll will always work according + to its settings. Issue #589, PR #593. + +**Installation** + +* Merged the `make.py` script into `setup.py`. PR #584. +* Added a second way to build distributable packages of novelWriter for Windows. The new method + does not use any of the current package tools that produce a Windows executable of the app. These + packages tend to cause false virus warnings. This new method uses the Python tool `zipapp` to + bundle novelWriter as an executable `.pyz` file, and adds Python embeddable and library + dependencies into the same folder. The folder itself can be distributed as-is, or a Windows + installer executable can be generated with `setup.py setup-pyz`. Issue #580, PR #584. + +**Documentation** + +* Updated documentation, main README and Contribution Guide to make them more consistent and to + improve installation instructions. Based on issue #586 and input from @mgrhm. PR #592. + +**Other CHanges** + +* The HTML generator now adds line breaks after `div` blocks used to wrap tag/reference lines. This + makes the output easier to process by scripts, but has no impact on browser rendering and import + into other applications.
