<h2>Release Notes for 1.1.1</h2>
|
|
<p><i>Released on 21 February 2021</i></p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>

<h2>Release Notes for 1.1</h2>
|
|
<p><i>Released on 7 February 2021</i></p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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".</p>
|
|
<p>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>
