Release notes

Everything that's new, improved, fixed or retired in Inklyne, release after release.

v1.3.1

New

  • You can now import several files at once into a collection — one file becomes one chapter — instead of merging everything into a single document first. Handy if your memoir or novel already exists as one file per chapter: you preview the list, reorder it by drag, and can adjust each title before confirming.
  • In the Write Your Memoir track, when a review closes your last planned move, your coach now proposes 2-3 different next moves in the same sitting, instead of a single move imposed after a wait. You accept whichever ones you want, in your own order, and only those join your track.
  • On your piece's page, paragraph references in the Prima Lectio summary are now clickable and open the analyzed text at the right spot — until now, that summary offered no way to navigate from it.

Improved

  • The current version number of the chapter or piece you're working on now shows in the editor's header, next to the title, and the matching entry is marked in the History lane in the margins — no need to open the lane just to check where you are.

Fixed

  • Locking a paragraph could trigger by accident during ordinary editing — placing your cursor, selecting text, or just pausing to read. A dedicated button in the editor's right margin (and the Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+L shortcut) now triggers the lock instead, without that risk, for now from a computer.
  • The margin to the left of a paragraph didn't respond to clicks: placing your cursor at the start of a line meant aiming at the text itself, to the pixel. That margin is now part of the paragraph's target, with a mouse or a finger, and the cursor lands at the start of the line you aimed at.
  • Clicking a paragraph reference in a Prima Lectio reading ("p3", "paragraph 4"...) could open the analyzed text without scrolling to the right spot or highlighting it; both now work reliably everywhere these references appear.
  • Importing a .odt manuscript with manual line breaks could split a paragraph into several pieces, or wrongly merge distinct ones — scene breaks, part titles, epigraph lines; paragraphs now flow together naturally, the way .txt files already did, without losing real paragraph breaks.
  • If submitting your feedback to unlock the extra 7-day trial fails, the message now explains exactly why, instead of a generic error.

v1.3.0

New

  • Every chapter of your manuscript now keeps a version history: find an earlier version from the History lane in the editor's margins, and restore it in one click — an "Undo" stays one click away if you change your mind.
  • You can now leave a piece out of your collection's share: sharing a collection with your beta readers is no longer all-or-nothing.
  • You can now set the rigor level expected for a collection, from novice to grandmaster, and change it anytime from the project settings: your Prima Lectio readings are judged against it.
  • The Write Your Memoir track now opens on a single question — "Do you already have pages?": either four guided openings to get you into your story, or you drop in your notebooks and half-started chapters and your coach reads them before proposing what comes next. Nothing is created until you have answered.
  • In the editor's margins, the worklist becomes yours: you can now add your own tasks alongside the ones Prima Lectio suggests, check them off or delete them, and they stick around from one reading to the next.
  • Some articles now end with an invitation to add a read-only example project to your project list, so you can explore its notes and Matière before starting your own.
  • Your collection's table of contents can now be split into volumes or parts: set a boundary on any piece from its menu, and numbering, export, and collapsible group headers all adjust automatically.
  • An annotation in your manuscript can now carry a Prima Lectio remark projected automatically onto the passage it concerns, or a link to one of your Matière entities — whose own sheet now lists every passage where it appears.
  • The editor's margins gain an Entities lane: find the Matière characters and elements linked to the current piece there, with direct access to their sheet.
  • Your piece's page and its Prima Lectio reading now share the same five-dimension vocabulary — Core, Structure, Scenes, Characters, Style — with direct links between each part of your outline and the section of the reading that evaluates it, and an explicit verdict (nailed, emerging, or not yet) for each of your declared intents.
  • In a circle, reading a peer's submission now happens in the same experience as a regular manuscript share: chapter navigation, resume reading, and comments anchored directly in the text, with replies possible in both directions.
  • In a circle, you no longer accept or reject the feedback you receive on your text: you mark it "Received" and can discuss it directly in the margins, right where the comment is. Each synthesis stays private between you and its author — other circle members only see what they sent you themselves.

Improved

  • Importing a manuscript when creating a collection now suggests a chapter-length range based on both the shortest and longest chapters in your text, not just the longest.
  • When you've brought your own pages to a track, the track page shows what was deposited — how many texts, how many words, and their titles — and each line opens that text in the writing room.
  • Waiting on your coach is no longer mute: the track page says how long it has been working and updates itself as soon as the answer lands.
  • Being added to a share now also sends you a push notification, in addition to the one you already got in the app.
  • In a Prima Lectio reading, every point now states its weight — blocking, important, or a minor detail — so a small nit no longer reads as a major alarm.
  • A point you've explicitly dismissed in a Prima Lectio reading no longer comes back in a later reading, and a reading can stay short when nothing warrants one more remark.
  • A comment — yours, a reader's, or a Prima Lectio remark — now stays anchored to its passage even after you edit the text around it, and clearly flags itself if it genuinely can't be found anymore, with a way to reattach it by hand. New reader comments also now show a badge in the editor's margins.
  • A save that fails now retries automatically in the background, with an honest indicator and message only if the failure actually persists.
  • Everywhere you hand off to your AI assistant — review, planning, Matière, profile, premise... — the gesture now always does the same thing in one click: create the task, copy the prompt, open your client, with a message that makes clear nothing happens until you open it yourself.
  • In a collection's sharing panel, the detailed piece list now opens in its own dialog from a compact summary, instead of taking over the whole panel.
  • The release notes page now has a navigation rail that follows your reading, and a search box over the notes' own content — titles and bullets — not just version numbers.

Fixed

  • Leaving the editor before it finished loading could freeze scrolling across the entire app until a full page reload; this no longer happens.
  • A network hiccup, like a request being retried automatically, could sometimes log you out for no reason; this no longer happens.
  • For French text, the editor no longer forces a capital letter after a "?" or "!" inside a dialogue tag (as in "— Tu viens ? demanda-t-elle."); a period still triggers a capital as before.
  • In the editor, ⌘S / Ctrl+S used to open the browser's save dialog instead of saving your text; the shortcut now forces an immediate save.
  • A track article's call to action dropped you on the track's preview screen, where you had to find a second button — or on a red error with no explanation if the track wasn't open to your account yet. The link now enrols you directly, and a track that isn't open yet says so.
  • Re-inviting a reader whose access you'd revoked could show them twice in the sharing panel with two contradictory statuses, or still list them as already invited when you searched to add them again; their status now shows correctly everywhere.
  • Following a link to a specific version's entry on this page could land you somewhere else on the page; this no longer happens.
  • Accepting Prima Lectio's proposed scene breakdown could fail outright at the smallest bit of text drift since the reading; scenes that can still be found are now kept automatically, and you're told precisely by name if one of them can't be.
  • Naming an entity with only spaces now raises a clear validation error, instead of silently saving an entity with no name.
  • When your coach read text you'd brought into a track spread across several chapters, it could receive empty text and refuse to continue; it now reads the whole deposited text correctly.
  • When accepting Prima Lectio's deduced scenes fails — because it was already accepted, or no scenes were proposed — the message now explains precisely why, instead of a generic "try again".
  • A piece with only a title and no text yet could show "Not shared" on its own card even though your collection's share already included it; its sharing status is now correct.
  • Clicking "+ Add scene" repeatedly could stack empty scene markers side by side; if a titled scene still has to be dropped during a deletion, you're now told which one by name.

Retired

  • The floating "Session paused" bar has been retired: your writing session's state now shows only from the dedicated button in the editor's header.

v1.2.2

Fixed

  • A share you have revoked no longer accepts new invitations: revoking now closes access completely, the way it always implied it would.
  • Your collection's word target now shows both bounds you set (for example "39,000 - 91,000") instead of only the lower one; your progress is still graded against that lower bound.
  • Confirming and dismissing a training run's proposed completion at the same moment could leave your run stuck with no next step; only one of the two decisions is kept now.
  • On mobile, a circle's page overflowed to the right and cut off the title, description and buttons; everything now fits the screen.
  • In the editor, the paragraph lock hint no longer appears when hovering a scene separator, and no longer shows up on touch screens, where it covered your text.

v1.2.1

Improved

  • On the "Connect an AI client" card on your home page, a dedicated button rechecks your connection status without reloading the page — handy if you finish connecting from another tab.

Fixed

  • Your collection's progress and word objective are now measured against the floor of your range, exactly as a piece or chapter already was: you may have been further along than the old display let on.
  • In the sidebar, the footer (your account and shortcuts) now stays anchored to the bottom instead of being pushed off-screen, and opening "More" no longer hides its own content or your account controls.
  • In the site's navigation menu, the Blog link now highlights correctly even when reading in English, and the Features link now respects your language.
  • Prima Lectio's style feedback now draws on the metrics actually measured on your text, instead of overlooking them.
  • Your session visibility preference now persists correctly in Settings and is respected when ending or reviewing a session.
  • Some icons — for relationship types, level badges, entity markers, and connect/share buttons — could be missing or take a moment to pop in; they now render immediately and reliably.
  • A note's preview text could disappear entirely, leaving just its title with nothing underneath; the preview now always stays visible, even while formatting is still loading.
  • Creating a new note to attach to a selected passage could trigger an unexpected page reload that broke the link between the note and the passage; this no longer happens.
  • On the waitlist signup form, the "which writing formats do you use most" question showed checkboxes with no labels at all; the format names now display correctly.
  • After importing a document, the confirmation screen always reported "0 chapters, 0 sections, 0 paragraphs" even when the import had actually worked; it now shows the real counts.
  • Importing a document directly into a project (rather than into an existing story's chapters) could succeed and report the right counts, but leave that content impossible to find afterwards; imported content now always shows up where you'd expect.

v1.2.0

New

  • Your scenes can now be grouped into beats — a level of structure above them, which you create, group or undo from the plan or straight from the text, and which Prima Lectio reads and proposes.
  • Your beta readers can now comment on a specific passage of your manuscript: the passage is underlined, and the comment reveals on hover. Every piece of feedback lands on a page of its own, next to the text exactly as it was when you shared it — you navigate from comment to comment, reply, flag the ones still to handle, and jump straight to the matching passage in your manuscript.
  • The Margins gather annotations, intents and your worklist into one container beside your text instead of over it — resizable, and collapsible in one gesture.
  • The Atelier becomes a real classroom: each move plays out in stages — Read, Write, Hand-in, Verdict, Seal — with a course atlas showing where you are, and the story you write on a track stays under the workshop's care until you adopt it as a real project.

Improved

  • Your manuscript's outline is easier to read and stays anchored to the top of the screen as you scroll; the margin is now collapsed by default, with a discreet corner marker to bring it back.
  • Your beta readers' feedback now shows directly in your manuscript by default, not only on its dedicated page.
  • The sidebar is tightened around the places you actually go: the Manuscript and its scenes in one entry, Matière gathering Notes and Entities, Miroir in a single entry, and a footer that fits on one line.
  • Training tracks now open in stages: a track still being finished carries a Beta badge and is offered to beta writers first, until it's ready for everyone.
  • A "Read next" block at the end of an article suggests the pieces closest to the one you just finished.
  • The site's Products menu now shows every writing format at a glance; the Novel and Essay pages each cover their whole family of formats, with a tab to switch between the long form and the short-piece collection.
  • A version chip beside the logo tells you which version you're on and takes you straight to what's new in it.
  • In a chapter split into beats, one gesture folds the plan into beats or unfolds it back to scenes; while writing, it stays reachable in the margin without reopening the sidebar.
  • Prima Lectio's maturity meter now shows an explicit score ("3/5") and a "?" that explains what it measures.
  • The site's public pages load noticeably faster on mobile.

Fixed

  • Pressing Ctrl+Z right after opening a document no longer empties it; and if a save is about to erase a large part of your text, Inklyne now warns you before sending it, with the choice to save anyway or restore your text.
  • Typing no longer slows down in long documents: writing or deleting text stays smooth, even in a chapter several thousand words long.
  • Going back from your Entities, the Network graph or the Timeline now returns you to the right page.
  • Ending a session while switching projects no longer opens two session reviews stacked on top of each other.
  • Prima Lectio's "Your text, as read" panel no longer opens with every paragraph blank.
  • The "Chapter unlocked" and "Standing advanced" notifications now actually reach you.
  • On a track, the "read" badge now only marks the readings you actually opened, and it survives a page reload.
  • The "Your case" reminder now also shows when you pick a case the track provides, not only when you bring your own.
  • On tablets, the descriptions on track and profile cards finally unfold — they only ever responded to a mouse hover.
  • A chapter or piece's word-count objective now shows the full range (minimum and maximum), and your progress is measured against the floor: you may have been further along than the old display let on.
  • Your manuscript's sharing links now take readers to the right place, instead of a page that doesn't exist.
  • A chapter already covered by your collection's share no longer shows as "Not shared".
  • In your collection's table of contents, clicking "Start" on a piece still to write now actually opens its creation.
  • Switching between the long and short formats on the site's Novel or Essay pages no longer jumps you back to the top of the page.
  • On your beta readers' feedback page: scrolling the text now scrolls the comments along with it, each comment shows whether you've actually opened it, and clicking one whose original passage has been deleted no longer shows an error.
  • Trying to enter a training move you haven't unlocked yet now tells you why, instead of silently failing.

v1.1.1

New

  • Prima Lectio's review card can now feed your worklist — "Note it" sets a point aside for later, instead of marking it handled.

Improved

  • A new Contact link in the footer takes you straight to support, at its updated address.

Fixed

  • Distraction-free focus mode no longer stays on by mistake after you leave a writing page for another part of the app.
  • Archiving a project now removes it from your Active list right away, and Table view finally has the same archive action as Grid and List.
  • Prima Lectio's review card no longer lets you queue two reviews at once, lets you reopen your AI client while a review is pending, and shows a finished review without needing a page reload.
  • Submitting a manuscript organized into parts and chapters to a circle now keeps everything in the right reading order, start to finish.
  • Your recently opened notes no longer occasionally fail to load.
  • Visiting the What's new page, the roadmap, or an article no longer bounces you back to your dashboard if you were already signed in.
  • Starting a new session right after switching projects from the session menu no longer binds it to the wrong project.
  • Deleting a piece no longer erases the submission history and feedback your circle already gave it.
  • Opening a shared link to a specific entry on the What's new page no longer sometimes drops you back at the top.

v1.1.0

New

  • You can now anchor your own comments and notes directly to passages in your manuscript, and show or hide them as a layer while you write.
  • Invite beta readers straight from your contacts — people who already follow you or have read your work before — instead of always typing an email address.
  • Entities in your Matière can now carry an importance (Main, Secondary, Minor) and relationships a category (family, ally, adversary, event…), so you can spot who really matters at a glance.
  • The Events tab on a character or place becomes explorable: the events they take part in now lay out in chronological or narrative order, showing who else — and where — was there too.

Improved

  • All your notes — including those tied to an entity or a relationship — are now gathered in one searchable library, instead of scattered piece by piece.
  • The sharing card now shows up to three of your invited beta readers, with name and avatar, not just a count.
  • If someone you've invited to read wants to try writing themselves, they can now start a free trial right from their account menu.
  • Creative pieces now show one clear source of feedback — Prima Lectio's — with your intents visible separately above it.
  • The "Derive my Matière" card now collapses automatically when it has nothing to suggest, instead of always taking up space in the side rail.
  • The Intents panel now lives in the main column of every piece — under your scenes, above your coach's feedback — with more room to manage it, whatever your project type.
  • Entities in the Network graph now show their kind's icon, not just a color, making characters, places, and other kinds easier to tell apart at a glance.
  • An event's own page now shows what actually matters about it — who's there, where, and when it falls in the chronology — instead of a confusingly labeled list of its own participants.
  • Piece and collection headers have been redesigned with a clearer, full-width layout: your key figures (words, target, progress, sessions…) now sit in one strip, and your declared status can be edited right from the header.
  • Long entity lists can now be collapsed by category; secondary and minor tiers show just the first five with a "show more" option, so they no longer bury the rest of your Matière.
  • The save-status indicator is now a small colored dot with a tooltip, instead of text that kept changing, so it stays out of your way while you write.
  • Reconnecting an AI assistant (like Claude) now reuses your existing entry in Connected Apps, instead of creating a new one every time.

Fixed

  • Readers you invite to a manuscript no longer see a subscription prompt before they can start reading.
  • A shared collection containing a single piece no longer shows an empty "Untitled" chapter at the start.
  • Some note windows no longer show two overlapping close buttons.
  • The "What's new" page is now reachable directly from your account menu, and its side columns now stay properly in place as you scroll.
  • Pressing the up/down arrow key inside a paragraph that wraps across multiple lines now moves the cursor one line at a time, instead of jumping to the previous or next paragraph.

v1.0.3

New

  • A public "What's new" page now tracks, release after release, what changed for you.

Improved

  • The "Derive my Matière" card no longer asks again on every visit: once your Matière has been derived, it tells you when that happened and how many more words you need to write before a refresh is worth it.
  • Twenty-three blog and writing-school articles are now illustrated, with public-domain artwork far more varied than before.

Fixed

  • Stronger isolation between accounts: a writing session can no longer be started in a project that isn't yours.

v1.0.2

Fixed

  • The title on archived journal entries now follows your chosen editor width.
  • On your writer profile, the portrait and title now both follow your preferred editor width, and the portrait text is justified for easier reading.
  • The scene-boundary display toggle and the add-scene button now only appear on writing pages, where they actually do something.
  • The AI-assistant connection window in Settings > Connected Apps now offers the same Claude / ChatGPT / Other choice as everywhere else in the app.

v1.0.1

New

  • You can now delete a piece directly from your collection page.
  • Share an entire collection, not just a single piece, with your beta readers.
  • New chapter review tools: split, merge, deselect, and rename chapters right from your manuscript.
  • Toggle scene-boundary markers on or off in the editor, and freely drag those boundaries to resize scenes.
  • Customize your editor's width: your choice is now remembered automatically.
  • Automatic French typography corrections (proper quotation marks, non-breaking spaces) in the editor and on import.
  • Manuscript import now recognizes chapters for collection-type projects.

Improved

  • Prima Lectio reviews are now personalized to your project's reading profile.
  • Rename scenes directly in place; they no longer silently collapse.
  • Daily Drill is now a self-paced, opt-in sequence instead of a fixed daily exercise.
  • Beta-reader invitations now require the invited person's exact email address, keeping your shared manuscripts private.
  • Improved badge accessibility for screen reader users.

Fixed

  • Fixed importing plain-text manuscripts with hard line breaks — paragraphs now flow naturally.
  • Your language choice (French/English) is now remembered after switching.
  • Writing sessions could sometimes fail to auto-start again after a previous session ended.
  • Fixed unwanted horizontal scrolling on mobile dashboards.
  • Fixed pending task cards overflowing on small screens.
