Re: [Wordgrinder-users] WordGrinder 0.8 imminent

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

Belatedly: thank you very much! Although you might want to resync more than
once per week --- Debian's deadline is ten days away.

I've actually added an absolute *tonne* of new features, plus even more
bugfixes, to such an extent that I'm now a bit unhappy about cutting a
release without more testing, so I might do an unofficial freeze. If anyone
wants to try it, I could really use feedback (i.e. pointing out where the
stupid mistakes are). The new feature list:

- a paragraph style for numbered bulletpoints
- more look-and-feel options
- the caret now flashes
- document templates
- word count display of selected text
- the autosave directory is configurable
- autocompletion in file dialogues
- a Windows console version
- a recent documents list

I've had to bump the file format version because of the new paragraph
style, so you'll be prompted to upgrade your documents. So, please work on
a *copy* of any precious documents until I can be sure a rollback won't be
necessary.
