<h2>Release Notes for 1.3.1</h2>
|
|
<p><i>Released on 6 May 2021</i></p>
|
|
<p>This is a patch release primarily to fix a problem with the Qt translation library used to make
|
|
novelWriter available in multiple languages. One of the function calls made to the library was
|
|
added recently, in Qt 5.15, which many users on Linux will not have installed on their system. The
|
|
issue could be resolved by updating the library, but it's an unnecessary and inconvenient
|
|
restriction.</p>

<h2>Release Notes for 1.3</h2>
|
|
<p><i>Released on 2 May 2021</i></p>
|
|
<p>The main feature of the 1.3 release is internationalisation. The release introduces support for
|
|
Portuguese, French, and Norwegian for the main GUI, in addition to the default English. The
|
|
settings for choosing the GUI language can be found in the main Preferences.</p>
|
|
<p>The implementation is such that the projects themselves can use a different language than the
|
|
one selected for the GUI. To allow for better support for multiple language projects, the Build
|
|
Novel Project tool has the added option to select the language of the injected text into exported
|
|
documents. In particularly for the number words that can be added for chapter headers. Available
|
|
languages here are the same as mentioned above for the main GUI, plus German.</p>
|
|
<p>Settings have also been added in Preferences to allow for automatic injection of spaces or
|
|
non-breaking spaces in front of, or behind, certain characters. These are features generally
|
|
available in text editors for French, but the implementation in novelWriter simply makes them a
|
|
free text box where you can list all characters or symbols where you want a space added
|
|
automatically.</p>
|
|
<p>The translation files for this release have been provided by Bruno Meneguello for the Portuguese
|
|
translation, by Jan Lüdke (jyhelle) for the French translation, by Veronica Berglyd Olsen for the
|
|
Norwegian translation as well as the minor modifications for US English, and Marian Lückhof
|
|
provided the translation file for chapter numbers in German.</p>
|
|
<p>The work to rewrite novelWriter to allow for internationalisation was done by Bruno Meneguello
|
|
and Veronica Berglyd Olsen.</p>
