+This release does not introduce any major new features, but is instead a collection of minor +improvements and tweaks based on user requests. There are also a number of changes under the hood +to improve the structure and performance of novelWriter.
+Some key improvements to the user interface are:
+✓ The max text width setting in Preferences now also applies to the document viewer, and +the setting itself on the Preference dialog has been simplified a bit.
+✓ When text is selected in the document editor, the number of words selected is displayed +in the editor's footer area.
+✓ The search tool in the document editor now shows the number of results in the +document.
+✓ The Enter and Ctrl+O keyboard shortcuts should now work the same way in all tree +views.
+✓ It is now possible to set a blank section title format on the Build Novel Project tool +and get empty paragraphs in the output. Previously, a blank format would just remove the section +break entirely. This change allows the user to define hard and soft scene breaks using level three +and four headings. The scene and section titles can be hidden completely with two new switches +added to the user interface.
+Other feature changes include:
+✓ The project index is now automatically rebuilt in the event it is empty or incomplete +when the project is opened.
+✓ The user can now add their own syntax and GUI theme files in the app folder in their +user area on the host operating system. Where the custom files must be added is described in the +documentation.
+✓ A Windows installer is yet again provided for novelWriter. If you have novelWriter +installed using another method, make sure you uninstall it properly first as the two methods are +not compatible.
+✓ Release versions for Ubuntu 21.04 have been dropped, and added for the upcoming Ubuntu +22.04.
