Note Interface Redo

This version changes how notes are organized in the interface. The old user interface didn't show how it look.

There is a new research pane. It will send you back to work when you don't type anything for 5 minutes. The behavior of this feature is still evolving and still a alpha stage.

Bug fix

• typing at the end of the document will stay a the end
• heading selection and location update is now working properly
• agenda, link, footnotes, and end notes is now faster and with less hacking involve

Gradle Update and Markup Language "Finalized"

This version now uses Gradle, and now there is a Linux native version available. The java version only version is Writer-Studio-3.3.2.alpha-java.zip.

The markup syntax and file format has changed again. Due how the program is currently coded, it is very likely that future version this version of syntax and format are backward compatible.

Th website is also updated, and the markup language guide is move to its own page.

Fix bugs found in test classes

Fixed bugs found in test unit classes. They were introduced by the last release.

Exporting PDF alpha release

This version is now able to export PDF files, but still a work in process.

There are a few changes to markup languages:

• levels now repeats a character to indicate levels
• a new citation type added: ref, which takes citation source of a different note
• a new format type added: {% } which is use for statistics related to the document, it currently has only 2 things: current page and number of words

There are also some crush recovery system in place.

Hot Quick Fix

This release will do a very rough and quick fix for an issues with setting display style.

Optimizing Version

This version doesn't add any new features, except that it run faster, and there is a new website to go with this project.

Adding Syntax Hints

This version adds a syntax hints widget and remove the help text.

For the people looking at the source code, the test folder has a major clean up: it is now mostly standardized and uses builder class instead of constructors with many parameters.

Quick Update

This version puts all the data file into the jar file, and updates the README.md.

First Public Alpha Release

This alpha release can open, save and create new files. The markdown language, for the time being, is considered to be complete.

Currently, it is a bit slow, but I have started to work on making it faster by designing a way to parse part of the file, instead of the whole file. It also does not print or export, which means this version is not very useful.

It only have detailed mode. More will come later in beta. Detail mode shows agenda list, table of content, notes (as in endnotes and research notes) and links.

It is only tested with Ubuntu and not Windows. When it download and unziped, using java -jar JWriter.jar might work. But it that does not work, you can use bash linux.sh instead.
