New Features:

Improvements:

• Auto-titles can span more than 6 lines
• Auto-title can start anywhere on a line
• Hyphenation now works with citations
• Hyphenation now works with references
• Changed behavior of drag and drop: when dragging between parts of the same document (from a table to the main text, from a note to the main text etc.) the drag is considered to be a “move” (source is removed from the original position) and not a copy
• Line breaks are filtered from the title text when producing TOC
• Changed behavior for cross-reference formatting or auto-title format. If the surrounding attributes have a non base variation, the variation overrides any variation in the auto-title title (applies only if the auto-title format indicates “use surrounding”)
• Improved keyboard navigation inside, into and out of tables.
  • When moving the cursor via the arrow keys, the cursor will move to the cell above, below to the right or to the left when the end or start of the text is reached
  • When extending the selection using shift+arrow keys the selection becomes a multiple cell selection when reaching the cell edge
  • When above or below a table, the cursor will move into the table when pressing the down arrow button (if above) or the up arrow (if below), when going over the line end preceding the table the cursor will enter the first cell ( if above) or the last cell (if below)
  • When above or below a table and extending the selection using shift+arrow key, the whole table is selected rather then being entered
  • Command+arrow key will move to the cell above, below to the right or the left and the whole text is selected
• Tabbed UI for page attributes (palette and page style editor)
• Added “Edit image” context menu item (shown only with images, of course)

Bug fixes:

• (641) Fixed a bug that caused a cross-reference target id’s to be changed to ” copy” when copying and pasting or dragging them around (happened when the targets had references pointing to them)
• When adding rows/columns to tables, the marker value of the last row/column cells are not copied to the new column
• Fixed a bug that caused the drag image (Image shown while dragging) of inline images to appear in the wrong size when the document zoom is not 100%
• Fixed a bug that caused the message “ERObjectMap:initWithSourceObjects:mappedObjects nil argument or non matching object counts” to appear sometimes in the console when opening the style set window
• Fixed a bug that disabled pasting of text from the document into a cross reference format
• Fixed a bug that caused option+arrow movements (move by word) to lump together adjacent words and cross references as one word
• Fixed a bug that caused Mellel to jump to the end of the document when clicking “Previous” in the find panel when the “From beginning” option is on (and also vice versa when clicking “Next” after clicking “Previous”
• Fixed a bug that caused PICT images to be copied incorrectly into the clipboard, preventing them from being pasted into some applications (most notably MathType)
• Fixed a bug that caused pasting of images copied form the finder (by selecting the file and copying) to produce a blank image
• Fixed a bug that caused Mellel to crash with documents containing illegal auto-title references inside tables
• Fixed a bug that caused Mellel to sometimes crash when opening documents containing conditional x-refs in hyphenated paragraphs
• Fixed a bug that caused cross references to targets inside note to always be considered “below” the reference even when the reference is in a page which is after the location of the note
