  • Set the language a project is written in, and have spell check follow it

  • Self-service account deletion from the web dashboard, with an admin restore window

  • Import and export documents as HTML, alongside Markdown

  • "What's New" release notes shown in-app with no network request, and reopenable from About

  • Import preview warns when a scene comes in unusually large, so a failed chapter split doesn't quietly collapse a manuscript into one scene

  • Text editor: faster typing and relayout, word-wise undo with a much deeper history, and rich copy and paste that preserves formatting between apps

  • Text editor: platform-correct key bindings on macOS, and AltGr chords type their character instead of firing shortcuts

  • Large Markdown imports are dramatically faster: 1600 scenes went from 37 seconds to about 3

  • Search matches the rendered prose, resolving Markdown escapes and formatting

  • Tag search matches accented and non-latin characters, and searches entry names as well as bodies

  • Scene drag and drop stays accurate while the list autoscrolls

  • Chapter detection on Markdown import understands Setext-style and bold titles

  • Visible scrollbars on scrolling screens, and scroll-away footers float over their lists

  • Translations updated for German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), and Ukrainian

  • Server: the setup page can create the initial admin account

  • Server: a self-hosted server not serving HTTPS now reports a clear error instead of "Network error"

  • Server: smaller Docker image

  • Web: error responses show a toast instead of failing silently

  • Client: importing a very large story no longer freezes the app

  • Client: scene drag could grab the wrong row

  • Client: literal ** and _ left around emphasis imported from RTF

  • Client: sync server URLs are normalized consistently when saved

  • Client: a number of text editor crashes around undo, paste, and joined paragraphs

  • Web: htmx requests denied access landed on a blank page instead of being redirected

  • Web: broken download link on the home page
