<h2>Release Notes for 2.1</h2>

<h2>Release Notes for 2.2 Beta 1</h2>
<p><i>Released on 11 November 2023</i></p>

<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 &ndash; 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>
