Enhancements:

• Changed: improved in-application feedback reporter (via the Help menu).
• Fixed: Nisus New File can fail to load when running a non-English localization, preventing launch.
• Fixed: crash that can occur on Lion when OSX probes/changes all scroll view settings. Only occurs if documents have been closed with certain types of GUI interactions.
• Added: added Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR) localization.
• Changed: this application support folder name should be "Nisus Writer Express", not just "Nisus Writer". If the old folder exists, move old materials and create a link to the new folder.
• Fixed: possible crash when saving files with certain nested fields / cross-references.
• Fixed: import: Express should be able to import ".doc" files on 10.4.11.
• Fixed: spell: all parts of a URL should be excluded from spellcheck, not just the first fragment (eg: domain).
• Fixed: styles: possible hang when deleting a list style.
• Changed: better default toolbar item set for Express.
• Fixed: loc: the French localization's Add Document Manager group dialog had very badly misplaced controls.
• Changed: Convert From Unicode made more lenient in scanning.
• Fixed: MenuKey preferences should reload the available menu list when switching back to that preference pane.
• Fixed: ruler: the first document opens with two left tab stop markers in the ruler tab well menu, instead of a left tab and a decimal tab.
• Changed: when reopening a document and restoring/scrolling the selection, it should be centered in view.
• Fixed: if a font disappears (is uninstalled) while Nisus Writer is running, need to redisplay text using that font with the special highlight colors.
• Fixed: images edited via LinkBack would incorrectly revert to prior state when a file was saved & reopened, even though the correct (most recent) LinkBack data was saved and loaded from the file.
• Fixed: possible crash when assigning menu shortcuts for dynamically controlled menus (shortcut exists for menu that does not exist).

Requirements:

• OS X 10.4.11 or later
