   Scrivener 2.6.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Literature & Latte has released [1]Scrivener 2.6 with support for OS X
   Yosemite, fixing all known compatibility issues and updating user
   interface elements to match Apple's new operating system. The venerable
   word processor also adds an option to its Import/Export Preferences
   that determines whether Scrivener should use the bundled version of
   Java or one installed on the system for converting Word and OpenOffice
   documents. The update also provides a large list of bug squashes,
   fixing a problem that caused hang and crash when editing scaled
   comments, avoiding a crash that occurred if smart quotes or spelling
   correction were triggered in scrivenings mode, and bashing a bug that
   prevented edits to project notes from being saved if they were made in
   the Composition mode inspector. However, previously available Twitter
   and Facebook sharing services will no longer be available when running
   Yosemite, as the sharing feature requires a 64-bit application. (This
   Literature & Latte [2]blog post provides more details and notes that
   there are plans afoot to update Scrivener's codebase to 64-bit.)
   Unfortunately, the [3]Mac App Store edition of Scrivener is still stuck
   at version 2.5 as of this writing. ($45 new, free update, 77.3 MB,
   [release notes][*])
