<h2>Release Notes for 1.0</h2>
<p><i>Released on 3 January 2021</i></p>
<p>Based on my own testing and usage, and no serious bugs discovered in quite some time (aside from
a few corner case issues), it appears that novelWriter is stable enough for a 1.0 release. Thanks
to all the new users who keep providing feedback on bugs, cosmetic issues, or suggesting
improvements and new features. I'm glad to hear that others find my application useful, and I will
keep making improvements as I get new suggestions and have new ideas myself. At the same time, I
will continue to keep novelWriter simple and clean and avoid feature-bloat.</p>
<p>This release mainly fixes cosmetic and other minor issues to the user interface and makes a few
minor improvements to some less used features. Aside from this, nothing major has changed since the
last release candidate.</p>
<p>This release concludes over two years of tinkering with this project. The project grew out of
numerous lunch and coffee discussions with my colleague Marian Lückhof at my former job. We were
both looking for a tool for writing novels on Linux that suited our needs. We started assembling a
wish list of features that has become novelWriter. In addition, users on GitHub have continued to
test new features, provide very helpful feedback, and make new suggestions for improvements.
Especially the feedback from @johnblommers has been helpful during much of the initial development
time. Over the last months more users have started posting ideas and feedback. Thanks to all of you
for your contributions.</p>
<p>The 1.0 release is intended as a first release of the core features of novelWriter. That does
not mean that all planned features have been fully implemented. There is a long list of ideas and
suggestions to consider and implement. New ideas and suggestions are welcome. Either as feature
requests in the issue tracker, or if not fully formed, can be discussed on the
<a href="https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/discussions">discussions page</a>.
