Today we are pleased to announce the first post-summer release of TextFlow. There are three points I want to mention with this new release.

Firstly, this new release is our first step towards significant speed improvements when working with large documents. We anticipate further new releases in the coming weeks that will improve working with large documents even more, but already now you should notice that you can work with much larger documents than has been possible up to now. Changes in both the client and the server (WeaveSync) components have been made to speed up both editing and comparing large documents.

The second change is a simplification to the document version list in TextFlow. The previous version was confusing for some users and we feel that the new version list is more intuitive.

Finally we have been working on improving compatibility with Microsoft Word documents. We have been able to make a number of improvements here and we hope that any documents you might have been having problems with before will work now.  If you are still experiencing problems with a particular document, please don’t forget that you can easily submit a bug report to us from within TextFlow.

As usual, TextFlow will automatically upgrade to the latest version next time you run it.
