And secondly we usually give a two or three month window between announcement and official launch, wherein anyone purchasing the software gets the next version for free. On top of *that*, we're never going to charge someone an entire $50 for a brand new version a month after they bought it! For one thing, all existing users get a steep discount on upgrades (close to 50%), no matter how long ago they bought it. They adopted a sort of spray and pray approach to development, where almost everything is there, but almost everything is incomplete to varying degrees. But it's still going to be a while-for one thing I said "largely caught up", they still have a lot of work to do, probably a couple of years worth. It will probably be a longer cycle for the Mac, and shorter for Windows, to allow a little breathing room for that release. However we're in a different situation now that the Windows version is largely caught up, and only recently released last year.

Now Scrivener v3 for Mac did come out in 2017, meaning we're already five years into that cycle. They haven't spent a dime since 2008 or whatever. We still have people using Scrivener 1 for Mac, crazily enough.

Take that, simpler tools that charge 10 to 20 times what Scrivener costs once you do the math! And unlike those, you don't *have* to upgrade if/when a version 4 ever comes out. For those that bought the software early on for $45, that would equate to a monthly subscription fee of around fifty cents per month. Excluding Scrivener 1 for Mac, the interval of time between version 2 and 3 was around seven years.

There’s a long list of improvements on the Scrivener site if you want to link to it.We adopt a long major version cycle so that people get the most bang for their buck, and it helps keep documentation, tutorials, blogs and books on Scrivener from becoming a ceaselessly out of date tide.

MacOS improvements also include extensive support for the MacBook Pro’s new Touch Bar.

The update also improves its support for major eReader formats, with existing Kindle support enhanced, and ePub3 added for the first time.

Scrivener hopes that it is now easier to use and more flexible, particularly when combined with the new styles system.

This update also includes a major redesign of the Compile tool, which is used to transform a project’s drafts into a single, completed file.

Another new feature I’m excited to see is called Bookmarks, which combines the content previously displayed under Project Notes, References and Favorites, giving users access to frequently used documents from the Inspector.

The addition of Draft and Session progress bars in the main toolbar.

less buggy and prone to crashing during export and compile (grrr…).

One thing I’m happy to hear is the code has been “modernized for 64-bit”, which means the software will run faster and be more stable than ever before, i.e.

There’s now a full styles system (which, they say, is even more powerful when used with the new Compile feature).

In the meantime, Mac users can take a look by upgrading now.

If I could access it on my Windows computer, I’d tell you if they hit the mark. The interface has always looked a little underwhelming and dated, but Scriver promises that users will be pleased by what they’ve done.

The interface has been “overhauled and modernized”, which sounds far more impressive than just saying it was given a much-needed redesign.
