BookForge v1.5.0 — Chapter Editing & Project Management
This release introduces a new editing workspace, improved navigation between chapters and previews, and project saving to make creating and editing books easier.
New editing workspace
- Added an Edit step with a chapter list alongside a Word-style text editor.
- Add, rename, delete, and reorder chapters.
- Edit chapter content directly within the application.
Chapter preview navigation
- Use Preview this chapter to jump from the editor to the selected chapter in the preview.
- Use Edit this chapter to return from the preview to the corresponding chapter in the editor.
Project management
- Added Save Project and Open Project.
- Projects preserve edits, pictures, and settings so you can continue working later.
- BookForge confirms before closing a project with unsaved changes.
Downloads
Windows
- BookForge-Windows.zip — recommended folder build.
- BookForge.exe — standalone executable.
macOS (experimental)
- Apple Silicon (arm64):
BookForge-macOS-arm64.zip - Intel Mac (x86_64):
BookForge-macOS-x86_64.zip
Choose the package matching your Mac's processor. The app bundle is ad-hoc signed to help preserve signature integrity, but it is not Developer ID signed or notarized. macOS may still block the first launch; see the README for troubleshooting.
Linux (experimental)
- Linux x86_64:
BookForge-Linux-x86_64.zip
Extract the ZIP and run the BookForge executable inside the packaged folder. Linux desktop dependencies may vary by distribution.
macOS and Linux builds are experimental. They passed the project's automated regression/build checks in GitHub Actions, but still need wider testing on real user systems. Please report any launch, font, preview, or export problems through GitHub Issues.
