v1.4.0: Better Books!

This update adds more sense behind the "work on a book" phrasing. Books are now split into chapters by default. Old, single-file books are available to either edit or to convert. No explicit conversion will be performed so you can choose. But going forward, books are better managed with split chapters.

• Books: Now use a folder-based structure with separate chapter files instead of a single document.

• Legacy books are marked and can be migrated to the new format. Your old file will still be available with a .bak extension.

• Chapters are automatically combined into manuscript.md when you compile; chapters.md also gets created automatically allowing you to reorder chapters.

• The manuscript is read-only (in Prosaic) and regenerated on every chapter close or save (including auto-saves).

As always, to update, you can use:

pipx upgrade prosaic-app
