Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.2 is available for betatesting.

This version of Atlantis is a maintenance release with minor changes and fixes. Please read on for details.

1) Most changes in this release are related to the Save as eBook feature of Atlantis.

First, you will find a new "Page margins" option in the "Save as eBook" dialog:

From now on you can control page margins in your eBooks directly from within the "Save as eBook" window of Atlantis, without having to tweak EPUB files.

Page margins are specified in percentage relative to screen size of eBook readers.

Note that some eBook readers will ignore page margins specified within EPUB files in preference of their proprietary settings.

In this version of Atlantis, page breaks are also saved to EPUBs differently than in older versions. This change was mainly needed for compatibility with iPad. Please click here for details.

Older versions of Atlantis have a bug in the "Save as eBook" feature. When a source document contained special characters or images formatted with "Small caps" or "All caps", Atlantis generated invalid XHTML code when saving them to EPUB. This version of Atlantis has this bug fixed.

2) Fixed two bugs related to the "Draft view: wrap to window" option from the "View" tab of the "Tools | Options..." window of Atlantis. When this option was on, toggling the Full Screen mode displayed errors in some situations. Also resizing document windows and switching between open documents sometimes led to visual glitches in one of document windows (wrongly positioned scrollbars, areas displaying "trash", etc).

3) In this version of Atlantis, the "View | Page Margin Borders" and "View | Special Symbols" options are not available under the "File | Preview" mode anymore. This mode (also called the Print Preview mode) is supposed to display documents in the way they will be printed on paper. No page margin borders or special symbols should be displayed under the Print Preview mode because they will never be printed on paper.

4) "Portable fonts".
