What's new in Writer 1.4.3
Nov 13, 2008
- A few cosmetic changes to toolbar icons, and pressing delete twice in a row will delete the previous word (which could just be the full stop, or other punctuation mark).
New in Writer 1.4.2 (Nov 13, 2008)
- A small change to how large new documents are when they're first loaded. - never released... until now.
New in Writer 1.4.1 (Feb 21, 2008)
- A small performance issue with larger documents was addressed.
New in Writer 1.4 (Feb 6, 2008)
- You can now export your text (minus the text you've stricken) to Tinderbox, Microsoft Word, or Mellel
- Writer.app now includes a Service, called "Edit in Writer.app". This will take the selected text and open up a new Writer.app document to let you start focusing on the writing.
- If you don't have a lock-down network location you can have Writer.app create one for you, from which you will get no network access.
- Fixed a bug in which your previous network location wasn't remembered 100% correctly if the location name included '(' or ')'s.
New in Writer 1.3.2 (Jan 23, 2008)
- There is a new copy command to copy the text of your document without struck text to the pasteboard. You do not need to have the text selected to copy it.
- If you don't have a lock-down location set, you can avoid seeing the message every single time you launch the app.
- There is, at long last, a new icon! It's a Christmas Miracle!
New in Writer 1.3 (Oct 16, 2007)
- You can change the default away message the app will change your iChat status to, if you use iChat. You should not be messing with preferences, though, this is only to present an outward appearance while you're deep into your writing. So set it up and forget about it.
- The odd bug where if you deleted a character, used the arrow or mouse to skip back beyond the last character (which is struck out), and then strike out *that* character with the delete key, then hit the down arrow or mouse to the end of the text, the rest of your typing would be struck out, unless and until you hit the delete key twice (I know, this is verging on the border of sacrificing a chicken for the event...), well, that's been fixed. Thank the heavens.
- The backdrop window will now disappear when you decide to show all apps and not lurk behind your writing window, scaring you when you shift that out of the way.
- Your last iChat status message is stored and restored on quit.
New in Writer 1.2.5 (Oct 10, 2007)
- Fixed a really annoying bug where recent documents wouldn't be reopened. Also adds two hidden preferences to change the default font and default font size.
