For immediate release
Mellel 1.6.9, the newest version of the advanced word processor for Mac OS X adds an Insert Date and Time option and offers several important Panther bug fixes.
Tel Aviv, Israel — November 19, 2003 —
RedleX has released Mellel 1.6.9, an update to its advanced multi-lingual word processor for Mac OS X. This release offers a new option to insert date and time in several formats, important localisation updates, and numerous fixes for Mac OS 10.3 (Panther).
New Mellel 1.6.9 features in detail:
- Insert Date: This new option allows you to insert three types of date and time stamps -- creation date, opening date (updating variable), and current date. The date stamp comes in two formats: long and short, and the format is based on the language settings in the International system preference.
- Localisation: Mellel comes complete with 11 different localisations: Dutch, English, Esperanto, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish. Version 1.6.9 includes significant updates to the Dutch and Italian localisations and minor updates to others.
- Panther Fix: Fixed a bug that caused artifacts to appear when typing using an input method or dead keys with non 100% zoom settings.
- Panther Fix: Fixed a bug that caused the cursor to leave an artifacts "residue" when typing with non 100% zoom settings.
- Panther Fix: Fixed a bug that caused screen artifacts to appear in with certain conditions of space above or below and fixed line spacing.
- Panther Fix: Fixed a bug that caused the Note, Character and Paragraph sub-menus to be disabled in the contextual menu.
- Panther Fix: Fixed a bug with third-party spelling services that sometimes caused Mellel to refuse saving documents.
- Bug Fix: Mellel will now insert a thin space before or after a Guillemet when using French Typographer Quotes. This fix will improve the way such quotes appear with full justification.
- Bug Fix: Changed keyboard shortcut for "toggle palettes" to command+* to avoid clashing with the system shortcut for "Rotate Windows".
- Bug Fix: Corrected Caption for "Decimal Align On" in the attributes drawer of "Edit Paragraph Styles".
- Bug Fix: Fixed a problem that caused Mellel to scroll to the insertion point when changing table height or width with the insertion point outside the table.
- Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that caused the font "Cardo" to render incorrectly and with many artifacts.
- Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that caused "selected word count" not to count the last word in the selection.
