Release Notes

This is a patch release that fixes an issue with creating new notes from the editor context menu, adds an option to turn off the confirmation box that pops up when closing novelWriter, and improves the recent project list on the Welcome dialog.

A French version of the user guide is now also available when the localisation is set to French, and the French, Latin American Spanish, Norwegian, US English, German and Japanese translations of the application have been updated.
