Highlighted Changes

Compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina, including app notarization.
Fixed: inserting a custom date/time stamp crashes.
Fixed: default system date/time formats are not detected correctly.
Fixed: callouts are not loaded from files; they are incorrectly converted to floating text boxes.
Fixed: renaming a file externally while it's still open in Nisus Writer can cause future saves to fail, or crashes.
Fixed: tables may be improperly tiled after opening a file, if certain features are involved (eg: floating shapes).
Fixed: moving an underline leader tab marker on the ruler will incorrectly discard the leader line.
Fixed some issues with sections and breaks:
- section endnotes disrupt "same page" section breaks, incorrectly triggering a page break.
- page breaks are not always obeyed for sections with multiple columns.
- same page section breaks with multiple columns can incorrectly leave the first column empty.
Fixed: adding bookmarks to a multi-part selection with a lot of parts can take too long.

Fixed: Document Fonts list should always show fonts used by font substitution, even after a file is first opened.
Fixed: Text Analysis panel should respect the user's choice to exclude certain types of content, and should never include comments or tracked changes.
Fixed: certain kinds of smart content can trigger warnings about instabilities in specific text layout situations.
Fixed: footnote area focus ring draws incorrectly if the note style has a taller gutter.
Changed: exceptions during screen redrawing should trigger a warning alert, instead of possible crashes.
Changed: minor improvements to how text flow indicators are drawn for linked floating text boxes.
