Changelog
What's in each version of SceneWeaver, newest first. The road to version 1 ran for 16 build cycles — every one of them adding capability and tightening trust. Version 1 is where it all comes together.
Version 1.0 initial public release
Version 1 delivers the complete SceneWeaver feature set: the structured manuscript editor, first-class entities for characters / items / locations / organisations, the full continuity-validation suite, every report, eight export formats (DOCX, PDF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, plain text, Fountain, LaTeX), citations with live Zotero import, restore points and diff viewer, writing targets and the Writing Coach, the timeline view, project-health diagnostics, and forward-only data compatibility with forced pre-migration backups.
Free for everyone — the full feature set, no accounts, no activation, no watermarks. Manuscript content stays on your machine; bug reports and anonymous usage telemetry are opt-in and off by default.
Compiled installers for Linux, Windows, and macOS appear on the Download page as final packaging completes. For the full feature breakdown, see Features.
Version 0.16 pre-release integrity hardening
The final layer of trust before version 1. Reference-integrity audits across every node reference; round-trip and export golden-file tests pinning DOCX and Markdown semantics; schema-version stamping with forced backup before any migration; a Project Health diagnostic that surfaces continuity, reference, and backup facts at a glance. The layered app-icon system and the public marketing site landed here too.
Version 0.15 licensing, performance, integrations
LanguageTool grammar decoupled into an optional external integration. Release licence compliance — on-disk licence file + Help → About → View Licences. Per-rule continuity validation with a new dangling-references check. Hierarchical report scope (whole manuscript / chapter / scene / section). Runtime performance profiling with a diagnostics dialog. Status-bar indicators for LanguageTool and Zotero. Bundled sample-manuscript library reworked.
