Changelog

Version 1.0.0Q released 19 July 2026

The current downloadable release, rolling up nineteen patches since v1.0.05 into a single stable drop.

Structural + semantic keyboard navigation. Move around your manuscript at the level you actually think in. Scene / section navigation via Ctrl+PgUp / Ctrl+PgDn walks every level of the tree (not just scenes); heading navigation via Alt+Up / Alt+Down crosses scenes if the current one has no more headings; entity mention navigation via Ctrl+Alt+Left / Ctrl+Alt+Right jumps between references to a character / location / item / organisation; spelling and grammar issue navigation via F3 / Shift+F3 steps between underlined issues in the current scene.

Prose-level keyboard shortcuts. Sentence navigation via Alt+Left / Alt+Right; paragraph navigation via Ctrl+Up / Ctrl+Down; every Shift+ variant to extend the selection. Fixed a Windows-only issue where modifier keys carried extra platform flags that hid Ctrl from the shortcut layer.

Bullet and numbered list buttons rebuilt. Toggling Bullet or Numbered List on a whole selection now turns the whole selection into a list; toggling again turns it off. Fixes a case where multi-paragraph selections were silently replaced with a single empty list stub. Auto-continue numbering means adding a paragraph back into a numbered list resumes the sequence instead of resetting to 1. Right-click a list item for manual Continue numbering or Reset to 1 options. Layout no longer leaves extra indent after list changes.

Reports scan resolved prose, not raw merge-token markup. Overused-word and phrase reports used to count words that only appeared inside merge tokens like <<character:name>>. Every report now runs against the resolved text — the same words your readers see.

Prose-editor stability. A rare edge case that could clear paragraphs when switching between the resolved and raw token views has been closed out across multiple patch releases. Editor undo, cursor placement, and format state now survive round-trips through the resolved / raw token views cleanly.

Free for everyone, as always. Download v1.0.0Q for Linux or Windows.

Version 1.0.05 released 29 June 2026

The first maintenance update on top of v1.0. Polishes export layout, fixes a drag-and-drop quirk in the manuscript tree, and tightens startup.

Manuscript-tree drag and drop now behaves intuitively in every drop position. Drop a scene onto another scene to insert it above; drop into the gap between two chapters to stay at the end of the current chapter; drop just below a chapter row to land at the top of that chapter's scene list. Previously some drop positions silently did nothing, or pulled the scene into the wrong chapter.

Heading alignment carries through to every export format. Centred, right-aligned, and justified headings (Heading 1-6) now keep their alignment in DOCX, EPUB, PDF, and HTML output — so a centred title page renders correctly in the final document. PDF exports also stop forcing each title-page line onto its own page, and HTML exports preserve paragraph first-line indents.

Clean shutdown if the main window fails to load. A rare startup failure (typically caused by a corrupted manuscript file or a missing optional dependency) now reports the error and exits cleanly, instead of leaving a zombie SceneWeaver process running in the background.

Free for everyone, as always. Download v1.0.05 for Linux or Windows.

Version 1.0 released 10 June 2026

The first public release. Version 1 ships the complete SceneWeaver feature set: a structured manuscript tree for chapters, scenes, and sections with automatic word-count roll-up; rich entity records (backstory, description, and usage tracking) for characters, items, locations, and organisations; the full continuity-validation suite; every report (Statistics & Readability, Sentence Breakdown, Repeated Phrases, Entity Usage, Data Quality & Completeness, and the Writing Coach dashboard); eight export formats (DOCX, PDF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, plain text, Fountain, LaTeX) with Compile Presets; citations and bibliography with live Zotero import; the timeline view; Restore Points and the Snapshot Comparison Viewer for content history; Revision Rounds for editorial-pass status tracking; the Manuscript Health diagnostic; and forward-only data compatibility with forced pre-migration backups.

Inline spell-check ships with UK and US English Hunspell dictionaries bundled in. Optional inline grammar checking is provided by LanguageTool — installed on demand from inside the app with one click, no Java setup required if none is present on your machine.

Free for everyone. No accounts, no activation, no watermarks. Manuscript content never leaves your machine; bug reports and anonymous usage telemetry are opt-in and off by default. Download for Linux or Windows now. A macOS build is demand-led — see the Download page if you'd run it on a Mac. For the full feature breakdown, see Features.
