Naracea 1.5.2

I’ve just released minor update to Naracea. There is one bugfix in spellcheck dictionaries importer, one new feature which allows forcing export of branch on save and one change in twee plugin, which makes it possible to skip branch on story build. Plus I updated application to use newly released .NET framework 4.5.1, which has a bit faster WPF (UI framework Naracea is using), thus there should be some performance improvements.

It isn’t much, but since I’m working on my other projects (new interactive fiction and little game written in Unity3D), I don’t have much time to do more work on Naracea. I was planning to merge changes from latest AvalonEdit, but there are so many changes since I branched my own version, it would require lot of effort, and considering current editor works just fine, I don’t see the benefit from spending time on the task. I take this as a lesson for future development: never branch too far from official OSS libraries, you will regret it in the long term.

However, Naracea is not dead by any means. I’ll continue development albeit at somehow slower pace.
