I have released a new version of FocusWriter, version 1.7.0. There aren’t a lot of changes, but I bumped the version number for a couple of reasons. First, I did add a few minor features. Second, I have now switched to 64-bit binaries for Windows and I wanted to make that clear with a full version bump. Go forth and enjoy!

I was planning on following the new format for the release announcements, but since almost every single app has the same changes, it would be quite repetitive. I updated basically every single program to have better installers on Windows and the Mac, and fixed the compile process to not have extra warnings during release builds.

The important thing is that I updated to Qt 5.11, and this means that FocusWriter should be able to save to Dropbox! I say should because the bug report is closed as fixed, but I don’t use Dropbox so I can’t test for myself. Enjoy!
