It's been several months coming, but the first public release of yWriter 5 is out now.

Expect many tweaks and improvements in this complete rewrite of the popular novel writing software. And don't forget the yWriter Google Group, where you can ask for help with the program, join in discussions about new features and also report those pesky bugs.

Best of all, yWriter 5 is STILL free to download and use ... no limited trial versions, and no popups or adverts.
