v2.4 [Dec 5, 2015]
- When editing a project in a sync folder such as Google Drive or Dropbox, Jutoh will now edit the temporary project file in Documents/Temporary Jutoh Files instead of the system temporary folder, to avoid the file being deleted by the system if editing without closing the project for several days. The advanced setting "Temporary folder" will be used instead if specified.
- In fixed layout mode using reflowable sections to create a fixed layout book, the correct viewport is now written to all HTML files.
- Fixed layout code has been tidied up by writing classes instead of inline styles where possible.
- Fixed a hang in spellcheck when there are large images in a document.
- Fixed a bug whereby a document is not marked as modified if a text box is removed via the context menu; fixed a similar bug with case changing commands.
- Fixed a bug in ODT generation for boxes in lists.
- Fixed clipped small bitmap buttons on Mac/Cocoa.
- Fixed display problem for property sheets on Mac/Cocoa (retina displays).
- Fixed a bug whereby using the cell properties dialog to change an attribute such as vertical alignment also changes the borders in some circumstances.
- Fixed a bug causing Jutoh to always stop Windows sessions from terminating.
- Removed the slightly confusing Windows-only auto-paste feature.
- Documented fixed layout previewing on Kobo eInk devices (rename extension to .fxl.kepub.epub).
- No longer adds 'General Fiction' to the subject metadata if it is left blank in Jutoh.
- In ODT export, XML is now transformed correctly in comments, and ASCII 29 characters are filtered out.
- If a heading style is used without certain attributes such as weight, style, and alignment, these styles are reset in the HTML to avoid confusion when the HTML defaults conflict with Jutoh defaults.
- Added a warning and hint for generating Epub 2 with the configuration option 'Generate NCX' not checked.
- Added a warning when the 'toc' guide type is not present, in Epub and Mobipocket builds.
- Added a warning and accompanying KB topic about specifying a paragraph bullet without using a list style.
