3.0.24 (Beta)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed script and beat editors didn't scroll properly when typing at the end.
• Fixed paragraph margins are incorrect for newly created paragraphs in the beat editor when the snippet stream margins are set to Normal.

3.0.23 (Release)

Improvements

• French keyboard mapping fixes for selecting styles.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed research right-click menu could operate on wrong object
• Fixed crash when undo triggered while repositioning blocks
• Fixed crash after adding empty dialogue paragraphs to a beat.
• Fixed script layout loop could stall on certain conditions.
• Fixed was possible to drop puzzle piece beat in an invalid location
• Fixed open new scene heading editor on the first empty field
• Alternate style shortcut mapping for French keyboards.
• Fixed crash when deleting beats while script still being measured
• Fixed crash when deleting a reasearch link after undo.
• Fixed crash when beats contained unprocessed text such as "INT.".

3.0.22 (Release)

Final Draft/Word Parity

• This release concludes our effort to match Final Draft's and Word's line/page breaking and Widow/Orphan Control. There are some discrepancies left, such as Final Draft allowing a longer line if it ends in hyphens. We cannot match this without a larger change in the printing algorithm, which we're choosing to not focus on. If our page count and layout flow doesn't exactly match Final Draft, it's likely due to a line ending in a hyphen. For now, don't have such lines.
• Lines can now break at sentences.
• Automatic CONT'Ds is now insensitive to the type of apostrophe used in imported documents or typed text.

Bug Fixes

• We were incorrectly importing some line spacing settings from Final Draft documents.

3.0.21 (Release)

New Features

• Final Draft importer now imports Scene Summary into the Synopsis field. To see the imported scene descriptions, in Causality select Show Synopsis in the Display menu.
• Final Draft exporter now exports beat synopsis as scene summary. If a scene contains multiple Causality beats, currently only the synopsis of the first beat becomes a scene summary in Final Draft. Later, all beat synopsis in a scene will be concatenated.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed line heights weren't stable during text-editing, due to leakage from recent printing improvements.
• Fixed cursor position moved to end of beat when saving.
• Fixed crash on website lookup on unselected beat.
• Fixed crash when trying to quit during a drag.
• Fixed crash when using whiteboard beat context menu during text editing.

3.0.20 (Release)

Improvements

• Significant improvements to Chinese printing. Line height is now proportional with font, resulting in no more clipping and prettier spacing. It's strongly suggested to change your fonts back to "(Auto)", and ensure that Line Height is set to 100%. Do this for every paragraph style in your script.
• Mixing English with non-Latin scripts (e.g. Chinese). In Script -> Languages... ensure that English is the first language and keep the non-Latin script second. Then all Latin characters will be printed with the Latin font, and the rest the non-Latin font. For Chinese, also set the overall style to "Sans Serif".
• Horizontal mouse scrolling now possible in the Whiteboard with a mouse that supports it (e.g. Logitech MX).
• Additional line breaking / paragraph sticking rules to ensure Final Draft parity for screenplays.
• Known Issue: Breaking lines at sentences coming soon for Final Draft parity.
• Known Issue: Final Draft parity diverges when a line ends in hyphens due to extremely custom handling of hyphens in Final Draft. It's not certain we can or want to achieve parity with this layout choice, but it's quite rare.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed PDF would open even if PDF output failed when the output file was already open in a PDF reader, effectively showing the old output instead of the new output.
