IMPORTANT: During the recent development a bug was found in the CQuill and NovelForge code that might slowly keep
increasing size of the project file. This will start slowing down loading the project over time and can lead to even bigger
problems.
!!! It is important you use 3.0.25.02.25 or newer that will sanitize your prior projects and fixes this long hidden bug !!!

•
Some minor fixes
Version 1.0.22.01.08
•
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)
•
Improved spell-checker

Other minor GUI changes
•
Added *.jpeg to available input files (previously there was only *.jpg)

•
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
•
Updated main thesaurus (now it is nearly 130K unique entries) and lexicon with thousands of new entries

(the last six digits indicate the date of compile)
•
Installation doesn’t asks anymore if you want for all users or you only and makes all users as default . This should install it in Program
Files, rather than in AppData as before when you choose to install it for you account only
•
Fix: Create new Project now remembers if you change the default Project folder to somewhere else
•
Usability fix: In case of writing permissions issues, the software should tell you that it can’t create files, not pretend to continue
