-<h2>Release Notes for 1.3 RC 1</h2>
-<p><i>Released on 18 April 2021</i></p>
-<p>This is a release candidate of 1.3. The primary feature of release 1.3 is the addition of
-internationalisation (i18n) of novelWriter. The release introduces support for Portuguese, French,
-and Norwegian in addition to the default English.</p>
-<p>There have been no major changes since the release of 1.3 Beta 1, but the bugfixes and
-improvements from version 1.2.3 have been included.</p>
+<h2>Release Notes for 1.3</h2>
+<p><i>Released on 2 May 2021</i></p>
+<p>The main feature of the 1.3 release is internationalisation. The release introduces support for
+Portuguese, French, and Norwegian for the main GUI, in addition to the default English. The
+settings for choosing the GUI language can be found in the main Preferences.</p>
+<p>The implementation is such that the projects themselves can use a different language than the
+one selected for the GUI. To allow for better support for multiple language projects, the Build
+Novel Project tool has the added option to select the language of the injected text into exported
+documents. In particularly for the number words that can be added for chapter headers. Available
+languages here are the same as mentioned above for the main GUI, plus German.</p>
+<p>Settings have also been added in Preferences to allow for automatic injection of spaces or
+non-breaking spaces in front of, or behind, certain characters. These are features generally
+available in text editors for French, but the implementation in novelWriter simply makes them a
+free text box where you can list all characters or symbols where you want a space added
+automatically.</p>
+<p>The translation files for this release have been provided by Bruno Meneguello for the Portuguese
+translation, by Jan Lüdke (jyhelle) for the French translation, by Veronica Berglyd Olsen for the
+Norwegian translation as well as the minor modifications for US English, and Marian Lückhof
+provided the translation file for chapter numbers in German.</p>
+<p>The work to rewrite novelWriter to allow for internationalisation was done by Bruno Meneguello
+and Veronica Berglyd Olsen.</p>
