Open Live Writer v0.6.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-02-13 // about 8 years ago
  • ๐Ÿš€ You can download and install the latest release from http://www.openlivewriter.org.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release contains two major new features, spellchecking and categories for Google Blogger!

    For spellchecking to work you'll need to have Windows 8 or newer installed (Windows 7 does not have spellchecking support) and youโ€™ll need to install your preferred input language in Windows to enable spellchecking in that language. Only one language can be spellchecked in Writer at a time, but you can change the language at any time by going to File > Options > Spelling and choosing a new dictionary language.

    ๐Ÿš€ Google Blogger categories will automatically populate for easy tagging of your blog posts. In addition to categories, there are several other Google Blogger bug fixes in this release. The most notable issues were time zone differences causing scheduled posts to be scheduled at the incorrect time, failing to open drafts that were posted to Blogger, and failing to download and open posts from Blogger that are older than your most recent 500 posts.

    ๐Ÿš€ Special thanks to our contributors for this release:
