## Version 1.1 [2021-02-07]
### Release Notes
The main change in this release is the addition of a new tab to the project tree on the left side
of the main window. The regular project tree is now on a tab named "Project", while a new tab named
"Novel" displays a simpler version of the information on the main "Outline" page. It lists all the
headers of the novel part of the project, as well as the word count and point-of-view character of
each section. This is an alternative way to navigate the novel part of the project. The various
tree views are now also kept better in sync when the user selects various documents and headers.
In addition, a new information dialog named "Project Details" has been added. It replaces the
"Details" tab in "Project Settings", and adds more information about the novel part of the project.
In particular, a "Table of Contents" in the "Contents" tab displays a summary of the main parts
and chapters of the project, their total word counts, and an estimated page count. This was made in
response to users asking for ways to estimate the total page count of the project. The page count
is estimated based on a words per page setting, which can be changed on the dialog window.
Since the tabs below the project tree now add some extra room on the GUI, some convenient buttons
have been added in the same area, with direct access to "Project Details", "Writing Statistics" and
"Project Setting".
A few other minor changes have been made as well. The Preferences dialog has been improved with
clearer categories and hopefully better help text. Some new options have been added too. They allow
syntax highlighting of multi-paragraph quotes. The highlighter can now optionally accept quotes to
be left "hanging", that is, no closing quote in the same paragraph.
### Detailed Changelog
**Bugfixes**
* A `None` check in the details panel below the project tree was missing, resulting in an
occasional error message being printed to the logging output. The error was otherwise handles, so
this is mainly a fix to prevent the error message. PR #639.
**User Interface**
* The word counts in the Novel tree are now updated each time a file is saved. Issue #636, PR #637.
* A "Remove" button has been added to the "Open Project" dialog. Previously, recent project entries
could be removed by pressing the `Del` key, but no obvious other methods were present on the GUI.
PR #639.
* When the search function is activated, the text in the search box is automatically selected.
Issue #645, PR #639.
**Installation**
* The minimal zip release package tool in `setup.py` has been improved to generate tailored
packages for each operating system. The old `pyinstaller` build command has been removed, but the
manual build path for a Windows setup.exe file has been kept. PRs #643 and #644.

## Version 1.0.4 [2021-02-03]
### Release Notes
This patch release fixes a couple of minor issues with the Preferences dialog and the behaviour of
one of the keyboard shortcuts.
Aside from these fixes, the main point of this patch is to add new setup features for novelWriter
on Windows. A Windows installer will no longer be provided for the foreseeable future, and instead
functionality has been added to the main setup script to create desktop and start menu icons.
### Detailed Changelog
**Bug Fixes**
* Fixed an issue with the Preferences dialog where the setting for justified text was mixed with
the setting for fixed text width. This meant that the justified text setting could potentially
get overwritten when the Preferences were changed and saved. Issue #623, PR #625.
* Fixed an issue with the Open Project dialog where the list of recent projects would contain
duplicate entries if the dialog was opened multiple times. PR #627.
**User Interface**
* The `Ctrl+Del` keyboard shortcut is now only active when the project tree has focus. Since this
is also a common shortcut in many applications for deleting the next word ahead of the cursor,
the activation of the delete file function when the editor has focus is unexpected to some users.
Issue #629, PR #631.
**Installation**
* A new command has been added to the `setup.py` script. The new command, `win-install`, will
create a desktop and start menu icon for novelWriter when run in the source folder. A windows
batch file, `setup_windows.bat`, has also been added. Running this file from the source folder,
either by command line or by double-click, will install dependencies from PyPi and set up the
icons and file association with novelWriter project files. This should make it easier to run
novelWriter from the source folder on Windows. PRs #634, #641 and #642.
**Documentation**
* The documentation on how to setup and install novelWriter has been extended and reorganised into
one file per operating system. Some of the other documentation files have also been moved to a
different section. PR #634.
