### Release Notes
The main change in this release is the addition of a new tab to the project tree on the left side
of the main window. The regular project tree is now on a tab named "Project", while a new tab named
"Novel" displays a simpler version of the information on the main "Outline" page. It lists all the
headers of the novel part of the project, as well as the word count and point-of-view character of
each section. This is an alternative way to navigate the novel part of the project. The various
tree views are now also kept better in sync when the user selects various documents and headers.
In addition, a new information dialog named "Project Details" has been added. It replaces the
"Details" tab in "Project Settings", and adds more information about the novel part of the project.
In particular, a "Table of Contents" in the "Contents" tab displays a summary of the main parts
and chapters of the project, their total word counts, and an estimated page count. This was made in
response to users asking for ways to estimate the total page count of the project. The page count
is estimated based on a words per page setting, which can be changed on the dialog window.
Since the tabs below the project tree now add some extra room on the GUI, some convenient buttons
have been added in the same area, with direct access to "Project Details", "Writing Statistics" and
"Project Setting".
A few other minor changes have been made as well. The Preferences dialog has been improved with
clearer categories and hopefully better help text. Some new options have been added too. They allow
syntax highlighting of multi-paragraph quotes. The highlighter can now optionally accept quotes to
be left "hanging", that is, no closing quote in the same paragraph.

<p>A few new features have been added. The primary change is that the project tree on the left side
