Detailed Changelog

Bugfixes

• The way Focus Mode worked when activated through the menu and through the document header button were inconsistent. The header button would deactivate the edit, search and close buttons, while the menu entry would not. These two methods now call the same set of functions to ensure the behaviour is consistent. PR #717.
• Closing the document while in Focus Mode now ends Focus Mode. Previously, the editor would be left stuck in Focus Mode with no way to exit. PR #717.

User Interface

• The keyboard shortcuts for the search and replace tool now also work in Focus Mode. Previously, the menu entries and their shortcuts were deactivated in this mode. Issue #716. PR #717.

Installation

• The setup script command do build minimal install archive files now also generate SHA 256 sum files. PR #724.
• The setup script will now copy the novelWriter.py file to novelWriter.pyw if it doesn't exist when the win-install command is run. Issue #727. PR #728.
