Yosemite Updates
Yosemite is nearly upon us - the rumour is that Apple will release OS X 10.10 today, announcing it at their iPad event. Yosemite is a major upgrade to OS X, introducing a number of significant UI changes. (Sadly, it is not without its share of bugs at this stage.) Accordingly, we have just released Scrivener 2.6 for Mac, which adds support for Yosemite, fixing all known compatibility issues and updating several UI elements to better fit with the look of the new OS. We have also released Scapple 1.2 for Mac, which likewise addresses all known Yosemite compatibility issues.
Collaborative Novel Prep for the NaNoWriMo Rebel
We've just entered autumn here in the northern hemisphere. To celebrate the changing seasons, the fiery landscape, the woodsmoke scenting the crisp air, I thought I would make this month's post a simple (yet subtly complex and insightful) haiku.
An Update on the iOS Version of Scrivener
Given the number of tweets and messages we get enquiring after the progress of our iOS version (thank you everyone for your enthusiasm!), I wanted to give everyone a quick update, since there have been some important developments recently.
Scrivener Licensing for Universities & Businesses
Some time ago, I wrote a blog post about 'Becoming a Sales Affiliate for Scrivener' http://www.literatureandlatte.com/blog/?p=98. This detailed how you could go about becoming a member of a virtual sales force for Scrivener, earning a 20% commission in the process. This method of getting a little something back as you spread news of Scrivener still exists, but what I wanted to cover today is bulk licence purchasing. This would typically be useful for a business or university.
The Mac Monochrome Trend - A Plea For Keeping Things Colourful
On Twitter today, someone posted some mock-up screenshots of their ideas for improving Scrivener's interface:
iBooks Author and Scrivener for Mac
Just a few quick notes on iBooks Author, as understandably we're already receiving questions about the best way of going from Scrivener to Apple's new e-book publishing tool.
Scrivener for iPad and iPhone in Development
We've been dropping hints for a while, but can finally make an official announcement: Scrivener for iOS is now in development.
Scrivener 2.0.5 Now Available on the Mac App Store
Scrivener is now live on the Mac App Store! A big thank you to those who have been wanting to buy Scrivener from the App Store and who have waited eagerly to do so - we really appreciate it. And kudos to whoever the reviewer at Apple was, too, as he or she gave us feedback very quickly in areas we needed to fix, and I'm really happy to say that the Mac App Store version of Scrivener is identical to the version we sell directly - no features had to be stripped.
