# novelWriter Changelog
|
||||
|
||||
## Version 1.6 [2022-02-20]
|
||||
|
||||
### Release Notes
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
* Most translations have been updated. A Dutch translation is in the works.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to these changes, the documentation has been completely restructured and a new theme
|
||||
added. The theme has a light and a dark mode.
|
||||
|
||||
_These Release Notes also include the changes from 1.6 Beta 1 and RC 1._

||||
|
||||
### Detailed Changelog
|
||||
|
||||
**User Interface**
|
||||
|
||||
* The default OS font is not always suitable for editing documents. The default editor font is now
|
||||
Arial on Windows and Courier on macOS; if those fonts are available on the platform. Issue #988.
|
||||
PR #990.
|
||||
* Added some some random error messages from Discworld to the error dialog shown when novelWriter
|
||||
crashes. They are visible on the dialog title bar if the title bar is visible on the platform.
|
||||
This is just a fun addition made to note the #1000 addition to novelWriter. PR #1000.
