**Features**
83+
84+
* A new dialog has been added to the Help menu for checking for new updates. It will only check for
85+
full releases, not pre-releases. The updates are not installed automatically, but a link to the
86+
website is provided. PR #863.
87+
88+
**Other Changes**
89+
90+
* The grey Typicons themes have been removed. The Typicons colour themes have also been renamed.
91+
The user configuration will update the theme setting to replace the grey icon theme for dark or
92+
light background automatically. PR #869.
93+
94+
**Internationalisation**
95+
96+
* The US English and Nowregian translation files have been updated. PR #870.

**Documentation**

100+
* The Windows Setup section of the documentation has been updated and simplified. PR #865.
101+
102+
**Code Improvements**
103+
104+
* The novelWriter main package folder has been renamed from `nw` to `novelwriter`. This will make
105+
it easier to create packages for novelWriter at a later stage. Especially packages which will
106+
require adding the main source files to the Python install location. PR #868.
