## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-13

Format now shows exactly what it changed, word by word, so you can check every edit before you replace your draft. It's also more reliable: it keeps your draft's language and your voice, follows English and French dialogue conventions, and never adds quotes or thought markers you didn't write.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-16

Export notes from any story as plain text or Markdown. You can select only what you need, use custom note order, and move more clearly between Note and Draft.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-20

No release notes.
