Change Log:

4.0.80 Fixed the bug where the display jumps to chapter one after dragging & dropping scenes
4.0.80 Fixed a bug where empty RTF files weren't being created on close
4.0.79 Fixed the undo issue when applied to a newly opened scene
4.0.77 Fixed the hang when you double-click an edited character name on the end of a line
4.0.75 Fixed the 'Print selected chapters' report
4.0.75 Reminder than ALL data in the lower tab control on the main screen is READ ONLY.
4.0.75 Viewing a scene from the storyboard no longer hides the last column from the storyboard display.
4.0.75 Closing a project now clears the notes & chapter desc fields correctly
4.0.74 The character list now prints correctly (word wrap for desc, bio, goals and notes)
4.0.71 A few more updates, and fixed a bug where the viewpoint list wouldn't refill when adding a new scene.
4.0.58 There's a new 'Save project data to single file' option under the Tools-Backup menu. It's still new and experimental, but the idea is that it will make it easier to transfer your project around ... save to a single ywc4 file, and the Project-Open command will read it back in again, splitting it into a proper project.
4.0.50 Added a new project-wide notes feature. There's a tab alongside the scene list.
4.0.50 Added an installer for the dictionary. It's under the Editor - Spelling menu.
4.0.42 Fixed the items list not showing any items
4.0.31 Fixed a bug importing yw3 files introduced with 4.0.30
4.0.30 'Create Debug File' under the Tools menu now includes more info.
4.0.27 Importing a work in progress and splitting scenes now preserves formatting
4.0.24 A few minor tweaks and interface bug fixes
4.0.20 fixed a character list bug introduced with 4.0.18
4.0.18 Several updates and tweaks
4.0.16 Shows a note indicator when a scene has a note attached
4.0.15 Added an overview tab to the editor window, and yw now remembers which tab you looked at last.
4.0.14 Fixed a bug in the New Project Wizard (which tried to force a .yw3 project file on you.)
4.0.12 Fixed a bug in Global Search/Replace
4.0.11 New tabs on the main screen and in the editor window.
4.0.10 Lots of changes to the main screen and the editor. Drag-and-drop enabled characters, items and locations, and plenty of new tabs to play with.
4.0.9 Fixed a bug in 'Save As ...'
4.0.8 Fixed a bug on non-english systems where the decimal separator is a comma
4.0.6 Main window split between scene list and tabs is manually resizeable
4.0.5 Added a 'create debug file' option to the tools menu
4.0.3 Automatically creates daily backup of your project and INI settings
4.0.2 The Tools option contains a 'Backup Entire Project' entry. Use it!
4.0.1 First alpha release

(Don't be afraid to chip in the minimum ... I'd rather have two people donate $5 each than have a hundred decide they can't justify $25.)
