2.3.3

See the 2.3.3 project for details on the changes in this release.

Bugs fixed

• Proofing stories, broken in 2.3.2, is working again.
• In previous versions, pressing control- or command-Z immediately after opening a text editor (passage, JavaScript, or stylesheet) would cause all text to be erased. This behavior no longer occurs.

Features added

• Added a Catalan localization (thanks to Jordi Mallach).
• Added a Norwegian localization (thanks to sinwes).

2.3.2

See the 2.3.2 project for details on the changes in this release.

Bugs fixed

• Various issues related to playing and testing stories within Twine have been resolved. Twine now opens playable versions of stories in your default browser instead of inside Twine.
• An error where the editor UI became unresponsive after adding a new passage has been fixed.
• Story formats with additional build information in their version number (e.g. "1.0.0-beta1") are now correctly handled.
• Extraneous story saving, occurring when a passage was clicked but otherwise not moved or edited, has been removed.
• The link to report a bug has been corrected to point to GitHub instead of the previous repository.

Features added

• Twine supports dark mode in macOS at a basic level. The window frame will change to match the system appearance, but you must still use the toggle in the story list to change theme. This may happen automatically in a future release.

2.3.1

See the 2.3.1 project for details on the changes in this release.

Bugs fixed

• In the desktop app, file saving is done in a safer manner so that if a problem occurs, any file that would have been overwritten should stay intact.
• The desktop app now keeps short-term backups of your story library in case a bug occurs that affects the data on disk. It saves a backup copy of your library to a Backups folder in the main Twine folder when you first start it up, and every 20 minutes while Twine is running. It only keeps 10 backups at most, deleting older ones as needed, so this is not a full-fledged backup solution (and is not intended to be). It is intended as a way to restore data in the event of a crash or bug that overwrites data saved on disk.
• The Chinese localization that should have appeared in 2.3.0 is in this version.

Features added

• Harlowe has been updated to version 3.0.2.

2.3.0

See the 2.3.0 project for details on the changes in this release.

New features

• The desktop app now uses Electron instead of NW.js. This should resolve many crash issues, and also bring improved performance, as saving changes is now done on a separate processing thread than the main user interface.
• The files in the story directory are now published as full-fledged stories, where possible.
• Bahasa Malaysia and Russian have been added as locale choices.
• Harlowe has been updated to 3.0.1. Visit the web site for details.
• SugarCube has been updated to 2.28.2. Visit the web site for details.

Bugs fixed

• Issues with passages being placed in strange places after being dragged while Snap to Grid is turned on have been fixed.
• If you have a test or play version of a story already open when you choose to test or play it again, the window or tab should update with the current version.
• The welcome screen now scrolls properly when the Next button is used.

2.3.0-beta2

This hopefully resolves file saving issues on Windows on beta 1, and issues related to playing and testing stories immediately after they are created.

2.3.0-beta1

New features

• Now uses Electron as its desktop app shell instead of NW.js. The goal of this change is to increase stability of the desktop apps. It also should allow for a more responsive interface, as certain tasks (like saving changes) will happen in the background as opposed to locking up the main UI. Because this change involved considerable reworking of the saving and loading process, it is possible that this beta may contain bugs that would affect saved stories. Before using this beta, please take a backup of your stories, and save backups often.
• Harlowe 3.0 is now included as a story format choice.
• Bahasa Malaysian, Chinese, and Russian localizations have been added.

Bug fixes

• Dragging passages should be more reliable, as the algorithm for avoiding overlaps has been improved.
• If you have a test or playable version of a story open in another browser tab or window and choose to test or play it again, the tab or window will refresh (it previously only showed the tab or window again).
