Improvements in this release can be found in the ChangeLog.
Any chance of getting an .AppImage version in the near future? Not all of us use, or want to use snap.
See issue #71.
Thank you!
Also, the Dark Theme is great!
Looks great! Shame I can’t get it working. Tried everything to get it working, no joy. The only thing I haven’t tried is installing it and running it from source code, but seeing as I find the hole process mind boggling it looks like I’m going to miss out. Damn!
If you would like help we’ll need a lot more information like what file you downloaded, what OS are you using, how did you try to run it, and what exactly occurs. See Manuskript Issues for help.
Is there anyway to turn the dark theme off?
Dark themes are deal breakers on any software I use.
See the Manuskript WIKI article on How to Enable Dark Theme.
Wonderful work ! This is one of my favorite Linux software & I am always excited to try new versions with new features 🙂 please keep up the good work and never ever retire as it would be a huge loss to the open source community and humanity in general !
Am I the only one who can’t open Manuskript in Dark mode in windows 10? If dark mode is set, it just doesn’t launch–it comes up with the “command prompt” window, and then closes. Set it back to light mode, and it launches perfectly.
Questions should be searched for and asked at Manuskript Issues.
Have been using 0.10.0 for a few weeks now and really like it. I’m starting to hope that I’ve found a home here. Thanks and congratulations on your good work.
This is exactly how I want to plot my stories on Linux! I am really excited to see what’s coming in next versions. ^-^
Me encanta el programa, pero tiene un problema que lo vuelve inutilizable: es imposible trabajar con escenas de + de 1000 palabras, se torna muy lento e inestable. Gracias.

Will manuskript be ported to android or ios?
There are no current plans for such a port though it is technically possible. See the bottom of the Manuskript Wiki.
An alternative is to disable the Manuskript setting “Save to one single file”, and then have the chapter folders and scene text files synchronized with a mobile device. There you might use a markdown editor to update the scenes. Be sure to not have Manuskript open at the same time otherwise conflicts can arise.
No 64 bit version?
The instructions for Running Manuskript from Source Code work on both 32 and 64 bit installations. The packages we build are intended to run on the lowest level hardware that can run Manuskript. For example on Windows this means 32-bit.
