0.3.2

**Documentation**

* The documentation has been rewritten and added to the Read the Docs website. Pressing `F1` or
`Help > Documentation` in the menu opens the novelWriter documentation page. PRs 68 and 69.

**User Interface**

* Filters have been added to the Timeline View window so unused tags can be hidden, and it's
possible to select only certain classes of tags to display. PRs 61 and 62.
* The dialog boxes for Timeline View and Session Log now remember the filter choices from previous
instance for the same project. PR 62.
* When having a document open in the editor, text can be imported into it from a plain text file.
No formatting conversion of the imported text is performed. That is up to the user. However, this
allows for importing novelWriter documents from other projects or from a previous export,
partially addressing request in issue 63. PR 65.
* The Export feature now includes exporting to LaTeX, which allows building PDFs with pdflatex or
other tools. PR 73.
* Export of a novelWriter flavour markdown file is also supported. This file can be imported back
in as-is, and almost completes an export-edit-import cycle. A split document into multiple files
feature will be added soon. PR 73.

0.3.1

**Bug Fixes**

* The backup request dialog should pop up on any change to the project during the last session, not
just on unsaved changes. PR 58.
* The regex that searches for words for the spell check highlighter was not including unicode
characters, so it would underline parts of words using unicode characters even if the word was
spelled correctly. PR 58.
* When having unsaved changes in an open document, while changing editor configuration options, the
document would be reloaded from disk when the changes were applied. This meant the unsaved
changes were lost. The document is now saved before the editor is re-initialised. PR 58.

**User Interface**

* Added a GUI to display the session log. The log has been around for a while, and records when a
project is opened, when it's closed, and how many words were added or removed during the session.
This information is now available in a small dialog under `Project > Session Log` in the main
menu. PR 59.
* The export project feature now also exports the project to Markdown and HTML5 format. PR 57.

0.3

**User Interface**

* Added project export feature with a new GUI dialog and a number of export setting. The export
feature currently only exports to a plain text file. PR 55.

----

0.2.3

**User Interface**

* The search feature now also allows for replacing text, so the basic search/replace tools in now
complete. PRs 51 and 52.
* All icons have been removed from the menu, and the dark theme has received a new set of basic
icons. They are not very fancy, so will perhaps be replaced by a proper icon set later. PR 53.

0.2.2

**Bug Fixes**

* Fixed a bug where loading a config file with the dictionary language set to `None`, or presumably
a missing dictionary, would trigger a fatal error. PR 47.

**User Interface**

* Added a basic search function for the currently open document. This is a simple interface to the
find command that exists in the Qt document editor. It will be extended further in the future.
PR 49.

----

0.2.1

**Bug Fixes**

* The _Tomorrow_ theme had the wrong set of colours. PR 39.

**Documentation**

* Added the backup feature to the documentation. PR 40.

**User Interface**

* The auto-replace list in project settings is now sorted alphabetically. PR 43.
* Added version checking of the Qt5 and PyQt5 dependencies. Non-essential functionality that
depends on very recent versions of Qt5 are now switched off if version is too low. Currently only
affects the custom tab stop length, which requires version 5.10. Issue 44, PR 45.

**Code Improvements**

* Minor changes to the About novelWriter dialog and to how backup filenames are generated. PR 41.
