Release Notes for Jer's Novel Writer

Version: 1.1.8
Date: March 6, 2009

Installation

Double-click the .dmg file. A new disk drive with the application inside it will appear on your desktop. Although you can run it right there, I strongly recommend that you drag it to your applications folder.

Double-click the Jer's Novel Writer icon to launch it. The read me file should open the first time you run the application.

Recent Changes:

  • Turned off Danger! warning

  1.1.7

  • bugs fixed:
    • page count code very slow (thanks, MaudeM!)
    • label on regex control shrinks (thanks, Tom!)
    • database for files older than version 0.6.1.5 not converting correctly (thanks, Diane!)
    • outline tends to expand and contract unpredictably when visibility of item changed (thanks, Tom!)

    1.1.6

    • bugs fixed:
      • could not add new database items in many circumstances (thanks, dion!)
      • database image field acted improperly when window resized (thanks, dion!)
      • some margin notes failing to link to the text on XHTML export (thanks, goch!)

    1.1.5

    • changed visibility checkbox images to (slightly) less intrusive eye graphics
    • bugs fixed:
      • up-arrow and up-gesture not taking cursor to previous text block (thanks, MfAP!)
      • Database categories easily confused (thanks, baltner, et. al.!)
      • Modified database to use better code when running under Leopard (Better code not available in Tiger)
      • section visibility updating correctly when section has automatic descroption (e.g. "Chapter 3") but not a user-defined title (thanks, Ted!)
    Important Issues: See the road map under "Wish List" on the forums at Jer's Software Hut for a much more up-to-date list of coming features and known issues.
    • Because the program keeps the data in a structured format, it is a pain to load in a work in progress. To do so, paste the whole thing into a single text section and make extensive use of the Split Section function in the edit menu.
    
    Less Important Issues:
    • Read me file needs a serious rewrite. (Well, not too serious...)
    • Sometimes the document thinks it has been changed when it really hasn't.
    • If there are several images in the database, this could slow down opening the file.
    
    Really Trivial issues:
    • The application and its files use the same icon
