Release Notes

This is a bugfix release that fixes a a few minor issues. The idle time for new projects would be artificially inflated as the clock was not reset when the project was first created. This only affects the first entry in the writing statistics. A scaling issue for the Preferences dialog has also been fixed. It only affected screens with UI scaling enabled. Lastly, typing Shift+Enter in the text editor now creates a regular line break instead of a special line separator. The line separator serves no purpose in plain text, and was producing inconsistencies in how text is processed and displayed.

Detailed Changelog

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where the idle time was not properly zeroed when a new project was generated after the wizard was closed. The idle time would be calculated from the time the previous project closed, thus inflating the value. Issue #1149. PR #1159.
  • Fixes an issue where the window size of the Preferences dialog would have the GUI scaling factor applied twice when the dialog was closed, resulting in the dialog growing in size each time it is opened. Issue #989. PR #1159.

Other Changes

  • The text editor no longer creates a Unicode line separator (U+2028) when the user presses Shift+Enter. The line separator serves no purpose in a plain text editor, and the code in general treats them as regular line break. This caused the line separator to display differently before and after saving. The line separator character is now automatically replaced by a paragraph separator. Issue #1150. PR #1159.
