<h2>Release Notes for 1.0.4</h2>
<p><i>Released on 3 February 2021</i></p>
<p>This patch release fixes a couple of minor issues with the Preferences dialog and the behaviour
of one of the keyboard shortcuts.</p>
<p>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.</p>
