Release Notes for 1.1.1

+

Released on 21 February 2021

+

This patch makes a couple of minor improvements to the GUI. The keyboard shortcut for deleting +entries in the project tree has been changed from "Ctrl+Del" to "Ctrl+Shift+Del" to free up that +shortcut for the document editor. It is now possible to use the shortcut for deleting the word in +front of the cursor, a common and useful feature of many text editors.

+

The way the negative word count filter option works on the Writing Statistics tool has been +changed to be more intuitive. Enabling this filter now appears to remove all negative entries +without altering the other entries. Previously, the removed negative counts would be included in +the following entries to make it consistent with the total word count. In addition, writing +sessions shorter than five minutes, and with no change in the word count, are no longer recorded in +the session log file.

+

Other changes include improving the speed of the internal spell checker, used when the Enchant +spell check library isn't available. The internal spell checker is no longer significantly slower, +but is still lacking in functionality compared to Enchant.
