<h2>Release Notes for 2.1</h2>

<h2>Release Notes for 2.2 Beta 1</h2>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>The primary focus of this release has been a complete redesign of the Build Tool, that is, the
|
||||
tool that assembles your project into a manuscript document. The new tool, called the "Manuscript
|
||||
Build Tool" allows you to define multiple build definitions for your project. The build definitions
|
||||
are edited in a new Manuscript Build Settings dialog, with a lot more options than the old tool.</p>
|
||||
<p>The reason for this redesign is a long list of feature requests that could not easily be
|
||||
accommodated in the old, much simpler tool. Far from all the features have been added yet, but now
|
||||
that the new tool is in place, they will be gradually added in the coming releases.</p>
|
||||
<p>The key feature added in this release is the extended control you now have for selecting exactly
|
||||
what part of your project is included in a given build definition. You have the same filters for
|
||||
selecting documents and notes, and turning on or off root folders as before, but you can now easily
|
||||
override on a per-document basis what is included or excluded in addition to the filter.</p>
|
||||
<p>A second major improvement is a better tool to format your manuscript headings. You no longer
|
||||
have to look up formatting codes and add them manually. Instead, there is now a heading format
|
||||
editor in the Build Settings dialog for creating the header format, with syntax highlighting
|
||||
included.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Other Changes</h3>
|
||||
<p>Among other features is a new option to duplicate documents and folders in the project tree. The
|
||||
duplicate feature is available from the right-click menu. A proper light colour theme has also been
|
||||
added. In most cases it will be the same as the default theme, depending on your platform.</p>
|
||||
<p>There are other, minor improvements as well, and a lot of code improvements under the hood. For
|
||||
a full list of changes, see the detailed changelogs.</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 take frequent
|
||||
backups.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please check the changelog for an overview of changes. The full release notes will be added to
|
||||
the final release.</p>

<a name="patch"></a><h2>Patch Notes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Patch 2.2.1 – 5 November 2023</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is a patch release that fixes a layout issue and internationalisation issues with the new
|
||||
Manuscript Build tool. It also fixes a number of issues related to bugs in the underlying Qt
|
||||
framework that affects drag and drop functionality in the project tree. These issues were mostly
|
||||
only affecting Debian Linux package releases.</p>
|
||||
<p>Other, minor issues related to updating the editor on colour theme change and project word list
|
||||
changes have been fixed as well. See the full changelog for more details.</p>
