Greetings From Nisus Land
"The Pillar of Journalistic Integrity"

Now that my time "volunteering" for the State of California has ended, I can now concentrate on writing news that you can use. This newsletter is going to be a pillar of journalistic integrity. That's right, the standard by which other newsletters can only aspire to.

Eh, who am I kidding. That's not going to happen.

However, what is going to happen is that we will be announcing new updates to both Pro and Express. I know, and earlier than planned! Well, it's not like we update once a year or so. Wait...

I'm kidding, people. Just kidding.

More on the updates below, or after the break as the cool kids say.

Updates!
"Express 3.4.5 and Pro 2.0.6"

After the release of Express 3.4.4 and Pro 2.0.5 there were a few... let's just say unpleasant issues discovered. We decided to quickly fix those issues and release new versions of both applications. Therefore, we are happy to announce the release of Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.6 and Nisus Writer Express 3.4.5.

These new versions contain the following fixes and additions:

• Improved stability by addressing several bugs that could cause crashes in certain situations.
• Fixed: lists: should be able to set list starting number for a single paragraph in the document text, ie: override starting list number enforced by styles.
• Fixed: deleting some text should persist the formatting of that text in the typing attributes, eg: text typed just afterwards should have the same attributes.
• Fixed: import: documents with certain configurations of floating content could fail to import.
• Added: palettes: holding down the Command key when clicking a palette stepper's up/down arrows will restore the old behavior, where the first shown value is applied uniformly to the entire selection, instead of adjusting all selected values independently.
• Fixed: palettes: using a palette stepper's down arrow should affect all selected values, even if the first selected value is at zero.
• Other fixes and optimizations.

There are a few Pro specific fixes that you can read about on the Pro release notes page. The complete release notes for Express can be found on the Express release notes page.
