Right click on the menu, select Customize. Go to “Menu” tab and press Reset on the CQuill Text menu
Version 1.0.22.01.08
(the last six digits indicate the date of compile)
•
Added Highlight Sticky Sentences
Sticky sentences have more glue words than normal. Glue words are often used to create transitions between sentences, paragraphs, and sections.
("and", "but", and "that"). They're also considered as empty space in your writing. If the number of glue words is high, the entire text will be boring to
read.
•
Added Highlight Weak Words
When you use strong words, they create a more vivid image in the reader's mind and also give them a better idea of what you're talking about. In
contrast when you use weaker or vague words, it leaves something to be desired for your readership.
Version 1.0.21.12.17
(the last six digits indicate the date of compile)
•
Better handling languages with special characters (for example French à, è, ù). This UTF-8/Unicode issue affected Assistant and related functions (like
Monkey Novelist)
Please note: CQuill Writer current support is primary for English language, there is no thesaurus, spellcheck or lexicon for other languages yet - hence these
functions would not work correctly. However you can still create a non-English Assistant and it will show you suggestions from non-English books (the part
of speech tags would be incorrect though)

•
A bit more frequent saving, some fix for saving character board and plot board (sometimes it didn’t save when switching documents, hopefully this
would be a fix)
•
Some more stability checks.
•
CTR+S shortcut for saving projects
•
New Feature: Monkey Novelist - this AI will use the Assistant’s book to complete your sentence. This is more for amusement than anything else (or
maybe an inspiration?). Some of the things it writes are so hilarious and even worth posting.
Ctrl+W Monkey adds phrase
Ctrl+E Monkey tries to rewrite the last one again
We call it a Monkey Novelist, because it reminds me of monkey stealing a computer and trying to write a novel that sort of sounds like the real thing but it
is gibberish. It is very similar to some bots writing nonsense on web sites, pretending to have content.
•
Improved Assistant view, tries to sort the sentences a bit smarter, especially when you enter two or three words in the search box by keeping the most
relevant on the top
