I made a small bugfix release of FocusWriter, version 1.6.4. This release mainly fixes issues with backgrounds on HiDPI displays. As I don’t have such a display myself, I did not notice these issues during development. Please enjoy!

Over the past week and a half, I have made releases for all of my projects. Most of them were pretty minor, and just amounted to updating the translations (and fixing an issue where the Qt-supplied translations were not being properly loaded). Packagers will now need to depend on lrelease, because I no longer include the precompiled binary .qm files.

The projects with actual feature releases were CuteMaze, Hexalate, Tanglet, and Tetzle. For the most part, the features added will not be obvious unless you have a 4K monitor, because the biggest thing I added was support for high-DPI displays. I did also finish moving my projects to be Qt 5 only, and to use C++11.

As usual, report any issues you have. Enjoy!

I just made a bugfix release of FocusWriter, version 1.6.1. This release has fixes for a few issues, primarily with OOXML files. They solve data loss, so if you are using FocusWriter with OOXML files I recommend you update immediately. The other fixes are much more minor, but still nice to have. Enjoy!

I am pleased to announce a new feature release of FocusWriter, version 1.6.0! It has been a long time coming. Anyway, new in this release are a few things that I know people will be very happy about: I relented and merged code that allows you to always show the user interface. I also added support for headings, so you can make your chapter titles bigger than the rest of your text. And quite a bit of behind-the-scenes work went into adding support for high DPI displays (which I don’t happen to have, so if my testing missed some things, let me know).

I also added four new themes! I don’t want to overload the install with too many themes, but I always felt the selection was a bit lacking. The original themes are still provided, of course, but they are now complemented by:

Go forth and enjoy!

I have rather let my blog stagnate, which is a shame. I am bringing it back with the announcement of a bugfix release for FocusWriter, version 1.5.7! There are not a whole lot of fixes, and the biggest change is that I have switched to making the Windows builds from inside of Linux. End users shouldn’t notice anything different, but if you do have a problem please email me!
