Detailed Changelog
Internationalisation
- Added support to the source code for internationalisation of the GUI. Thanks to Bruno Meneguello (@bkmeneguello) for doing most of the work. Issue #93. PRs #673, #680 and #684.
- Build Novel Project localisation has been added as well. This is separate from the GUI localisation as the project may not be written in the same language as the GUI is set to. PRs #676 and #682.
- The text editor's auto-replace features now support inserting spaces automatically when replacing quotes, as well as in front of major punctuation. These features are common for writing tools supporting French and Spanish for instance. Issue #703. PR #704.
User Interface
