<h2>Release Notes for 2.1</h2>
|
|
<p><i>Released on 17 October 2023</i></p>

|
|
|
|
<p>The primary focus of this release has been a complete redesign of the Build Tool, that is, the
|
|
tool that assembles your project into a manuscript document. The new tool, called the "Manuscript
|
|
Build Tool" allows you to define multiple build definitions for your project. The build definitions
|
|
are edited in a new Manuscript Build Settings dialog, with a lot more options than the old tool.</p>
|
|
<p>The reason for this redesign is a long list of feature requests that could not easily be
|
|
accommodated in the old, much simpler tool. Far from all the features have been added yet, but now
|
|
that the new tool is in place, they will be gradually added in the coming releases.</p>
|
|
<p>The key feature added in this release is the extended control you now have for selecting exactly
|
|
what part of your project is included in a given build definition. You have the same filters for
|
|
selecting documents and notes, and turning on or off root folders as before, but you can now easily
|
|
override on a per-document basis what is included or excluded in addition to the filter.</p>
|
|
<p>A second major improvement is a better tool to format your manuscript headings. You no longer
|
|
have to look up formatting codes and add them manually. Instead, there is now a heading format
|
|
editor in the Build Settings dialog for creating the header format, with syntax highlighting
|
|
included.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Other Changes</h3>
|
|
<p>Among other features is a new option to duplicate documents and folders in the project tree. The
|
|
duplicate feature is available from the right-click menu. A proper light colour theme has also been
|
|
added. In most cases it will be the same as the default theme, depending on your platform.</p>
|
|
<p>There are other, minor improvements as well, and a lot of code improvements under the hood. For
|
|
a full list of changes, see the detailed changelogs.</p>

<h3>Patch 2.2.1 – 5 November 2023</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a patch release that fixes a layout issue and internationalisation issues with the new
|
|
Manuscript Build tool. It also fixes a number of issues related to bugs in the underlying Qt
|
|
framework that affects drag and drop functionality in the project tree. These issues were mostly
|
|
only affecting Debian Linux package releases.</p>
|
|
<p>Other, minor issues related to updating the editor on colour theme change and project word list
|
|
changes have been fixed as well. See the full changelog for more details.</p>
