Changelog: What’s New in Entangled Text, by Month

Writing and the studio

Fixed Menus stay on top — The File and All tools menus in Write, and the Account menu in the side rail, now open above floating windows and docked sidebars instead of hiding under them. On smaller screens All tools opens leftward so its labels are not cut off.
Improved Author’s tools keeps its side — Docking Author’s tools as a sidebar and back to a window no longer moves its menu to the other side. Collapse and Expand point the way the panel folds, and the buttons in its header each do one clear thing.
Fixed Pasting from Word — Pasting a chapter from Microsoft Word no longer brings Word’s hidden style settings in at the top of the chapter.
Fixed Book memory reads numbers either way — “Twenty-two” and “22” are now the same age to the continuity checks, so a character’s age is no longer flagged as changed when only the spelling is.
Improved Answers in your language — The AI assistant now recognises Turkish and Spanish messages it used to miss, and replies in your language.

Starting and importing books

New Your first chapter on us — New Free accounts get their first book’s plan and chapter 1 written free, with no AI key and no card. After that, Free writes on your own AI key, or Entangled Text Pro writes every chapter.
Improved Import from the home page — The home page has an Import and keep writing button beside Translate a book, so you can bring a manuscript straight in.
Improved Web imports recover from rate limits — When a site slows an import down, it switches to a backup link or asks you for one, picks up from the chapter where it stopped, shows how many chapters came through, and keeps a log of each try.
Improved A calmer start — Start over only appears once there is something to clear, and the welcome questions no longer take you away from Billing or Account when you are already there.

Plans and billing

New Try Pro free for 7 days — A card is needed and nothing is charged until the trial ends. The trial writes 3 chapters with the Pro writing AI; cancel in Settings → Billing within 7 days and you pay nothing.
Fixed Upgrading during a trial — Buying Ultra or Pro with PayPal while a Pro trial was running now ends the trial properly, so the trial’s limits no longer follow a paid plan.
Improved Clearer plan names and pricing — The pricing page and upgrade screens now say plainly what you get: write free, or upgrade to Entangled Text Pro for our best writing AI on every chapter and the whole-book tools. Chapter estimates use your book’s real chapter length.
New Comic Studio plan — $5 a month for 40 AI panel images, with packs of 40 more for $5 that never expire. Laying out pages, lettering and exporting comics stay free.

Release 1.8.2

Improved Pro and Ultra now write every chapter with a significantly better AI than the one Free accounts use. Subscribers who joined before 23 October keep the plan they signed up for.
Improved On Free, when the day's chapter is used, you can read a short sample of how Pro would open your next chapter, written on your own book.
Improved Left while your plan was being written? Chapter 1 now starts on its own a few minutes after the plan is done, so it is waiting when you come back. If you stay on the page, you still read the plan and press Write chapter 1 yourself.
New New book starts on plots — pick a genre and I pitch five plots straight away. Rating books you have read is still there, as a way to tune them.

Release 1.8.1

New Chat with other authors — the Chat Room is open to everyone on Entangled Text. Open Support (Kestrel still answers there) and choose Chat Room at the top. Say hello, swap tips, use emoji, message another author privately, or share a chapter for other authors to read and review. You can mute anyone, report a message to us, or leave the room and come back any time. Every message is checked before it posts, so the room stays free of sexual and illegal content, and files cannot be sent.
Fixed The panel where Kestrel helps you is called Support again, with her face on its button.
New Deepen a chapter that feels rushed — Chapters, then This chapter, then Deepen this chapter (or ask Kestrel). New passages go inside the scenes already there, where a moment needs room to breathe; nothing new happens, every sentence you have stays as written, and the ending is untouched. It goes in with an Undo. On Pro and Ultra, Deepen every chapter does the whole book, each chapter waiting for you to accept it.
Improved Your plan is checked against what you asked for before chapter 1. When two of your settings disagree (explicit heat with a rule that keeps explicit scenes out, fast pacing for a slow burn) you get one question with two answers. A romance plan shows where the leads meet, first kiss and first love scene land, and how often the love interest is on the page. Chapters much shorter than the genre reads at get a one-press fix.
Improved Change heat, romance, pacing, point of view or chapter length partway through a book, and the chapters you have not written yet are replanned to match. Written chapters stay as they are.

Release 1.8.0

New A new look for the whole studio — one quiet menu down the side (Home, Books, New book, Import, Translate), Kestrel beside every page, and ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) to find a page or run a command from anywhere.

Release 1.7.0

Improved An imported book can go back to the words you brought — File, then Restore imported text, puts every chapter you changed back to how it was imported, with each chapter's current text kept in Revisions and Undo the restore in the same menu. Chapters written, added or split since are left alone. An imported book also stays the length you brought until you say you are still writing it.
Improved Kestrel and Support are one chat now. Ask her anything in one place: most things she answers straight away, and when something is not working, or it is about your account or a payment, she has it looked into and the answer arrives in the same conversation a couple of minutes later. Support in the phone tab bar opens her and she asks what is wrong.
Improved The buttons under your chapter show their names whenever there is room for them, on any size of screen, instead of shrinking to icons all at once; Ship stays on the bar at every desktop size.
Improved Changing several chapters at once now lives in Chapters — press Select, tick the chapters, then run a recipe, a polish or a change in your own words. A card names the chapters and what it will use before anything starts, and each changed chapter waits for you to accept it. The consistency check runs from the same All chapters menu, and its findings wait at the top of Chapters until you have looked at them.
New A chapter that runs too long can be split in two — put the cursor in the paragraph that should open the new chapter and choose File (Book in Simple view), then Split this chapter, or ask Kestrel. The chapters after it and their plans move up by one, and the chapter as it was is kept in Revisions.
New Kestrel can work every writing tool for you — ask her to run the Filter Word Finder, build a blurb or check the chapter brief, and she fills it in, runs it and tells you what it found. Tools now open beside her, so you can keep talking to her while one is open.
Improved Outlines and chapters start the moment you ask for them, instead of waiting their turn behind other books being written.
Improved Starting a book takes one page — say what it is about, and the genre, title, blurb, main characters and chapter plan are made for you. On Pro and Ultra, one button writes the whole book, and it keeps writing while you are away; an email says when every chapter is done.
New A simpler studio for new accounts — Kestrel always shows your next step with a button that does it, highlighting text offers Improve, Shorter, Longer or Rewrite as…, and Publish is one page with Kindle as the big download and the small fixes done for you. Book → Show all tools brings back every tool, and Book → Simple view gives anyone the quieter one.
Improved Author's tools is one place for everything — Chapters, Outline, the chapter brief, Polish, Cast, Style and every book tool live in one sidebar, with Most used and Recent at the side and an All tools list that finds any of them.
Improved Style opens on two cards, AI writing instructions and Writing style, each saying in plain words what it is for, with a switch at the top to move between them, on a phone too.
Improved Your book's voice is read from chapter 1 by itself, its rhythm and punctuation included, and kept in Writing style; edit any line and it is yours.
New More of the routine work now happens without a click — your voice is measured and each chapter scored against it, empty outline beats are filled from the prose, untitled chapters get titles, an empty store description and tags are drafted on Ship, a new book gets its first rules written, and a book with no genre is offered one.
Improved A freshly imported book has its translator credits, notes and stray web links taken out for you, with every changed chapter kept in Revisions.
Improved Kestrel opens any tool at the part you mean (Story health at Continuity, Cast at a character, a search already typed), changes the genre or the book's language when asked, and picks the right tool when you do not name one.
Improved Export lays out its settings beside a live print preview, and a long book can come out as a set of numbered files.
Fixed On Ship the All tools menu shows only what Ship needs, and the sidebars can be resized again while a tool is open.
New A draft written in the first person or the present tense is now written up that way: the Draft Wizard reads point of view, tense and language from your own draft before chapter 1 is written, and your welcome answers about prose, pace and endings shape a new book from the start.
Fixed Writing streaks count again, from the words you actually type each day, and Kestrel can tell you how your writing is going, what your book has established (an age, a colour, a posting), which names have no story bible entry, and what readers have said about the chapter.
Improved Ship warns before publishing if a chapter still holds a note left for later, such as TK or [check the date].
New A new book starts with the rules you wrote on your last one (Undo is on Set up), and a sequel takes the first book's voice, rules and language as well as its story bible.
Improved Kestrel can tell you what happened in any chapter, however long the book: what each chapter established is now kept for good.
Improved Your EPUB says which series it belongs to and its number, so Apple Books, Kobo and Calibre shelve it with the rest; your pen name and author bio carry over from your other books; and Kindle keywords are shortened at a whole word.
Improved A first page typed on the homepage now comes with you even if you finish signing up on another device.
Improved If a save wipes out most of a chapter, the editor says so straight away and puts it back in one click. Revisions now always keeps the AI's first draft and your named versions, and saves one snapshot per ten minutes of typing instead of one every few seconds.
Improved Importing an EPUB or Word file keeps what the file says about itself — the description, publisher, series, dedication, about-the-author, afterword and copyright line go straight into Ship.
Improved You hear about readers — beta notes, suggested edits, comments and ratings each leave a notification, grouped per book.
Improved Ship and Kestrel point out a gap in the chapter numbering, a near-empty chapter left between written ones, or the same chapter twice.
Improved A deleted chapter can be brought back — Undo puts it, its history and its place in the outline back exactly, and deleted chapters are kept for 30 days.
Improved A short weekly email on Sundays tells you what you wrote that week and which chapter is next, and the app reminds you in the evening when a writing streak is about to end.
Improved A book translation keeps going after you close the tab, keeps every name the same from chapter to chapter, and translates the store blurb and tags when it finishes.
Improved Word and text imports keep About the Author, acknowledgements and a dedication out of your chapters and put them in Ship; empty drafts untouched for two weeks are tucked away in the library; an untitled book gets a title suggestion from Kestrel; and a chapter you rewrote on purpose can update its own outline entry in one click.
Improved Ship fills in the reading age, content notes and Kindle categories from your book's audience, genre and content settings, and the KDP upload pack lists what to type into each KDP box. Beside the AI disclosure, Ship says what your chapters' record shows and how to answer KDP's AI question, with matching wording you can use in one click.

Release 1.6.0

Improved Kestrel is on every page, and knows the page she is on — she reads your book, runs the tools in front of you, fills in the boxes and makes the edit where you asked, instead of telling you where to click.
Improved One conversation that follows you from the dashboard to Write to Ship. Images and video you attach appear as a thumbnail and a player, an unsent draft survives a reload, and ↑ brings back what you last sent.
Improved Support is Kestrel too — she answers in about two seconds, reads the book you are asking about, replies in the language you wrote in, and anything she cannot answer reaches a person instead of leaving you with silence.
Improved Fix issues is one run with one vocabulary from the chapter footer through to the review: a progress bar, one issue at a time, and a summary naming what it changed. It can now actually reach 100 — a round holds what it asked for, and the same fix is never sold twice for the same text.
Fixed Ctrl+Z takes back an AI edit the way it takes back a word you typed, and a save can no longer replace a version you have not seen.
Improved A typed instruction on a highlighted passage is carried out as typed, instead of being treated as a suggestion.
Improved A spine for the book down the side of Write, with File, Book tools and Polish directly on the chapter. Focus mode is the bare canvas it claims to be, and the format toolbar stops wedging itself open across the manuscript.
Improved Book tools work on a phone and a tablet, pane by pane — all 27 of them, with the chapter list keeping a window on a desk.
Improved Outlines are planned as you go — the first twelve chapters, then twelve more as the book is written. Raising the chapter count extends the outline, and when an outline comes up short the page says so and offers to plan the chapter that is missing.
Improved A book's facts are kept in one place and every finished chapter is checked against them, so names, ages and places stop drifting late in a novel.
Improved Prose reads less like a machine — the giveaway was the long tail of a sentence, and a thin chapter is now rewritten rather than padded.
Improved The cover studio makes the whole paperback — spine, back cover, a print-ready KDP wrap and a 3D book to show it off.
Improved Ship — the progress window can be dragged by its header, a closed Review section actually hides its contents, Export history shows the export you just made, and the story health check now answers on long books.
Fixed Import and Translate work out the source language for you, keep a part-finished import when you cancel, and carry on from the chapter you stopped at. An EPUB now reads as prose rather than as the archive around it.
Improved An imported book's author can redo a chapter the AI wrote, and an import is asked whether the book is finished so the rest can be planned.
Fixed Books not written in English are no longer marked down by English-only rules — point of view, em dashes and the writing lint stop accusing books in other languages, chapter renumbering works in any alphabet, and word counts are right for scripts that do not put spaces between words.
Improved Every Free limit now says when your next chapter and your next words arrive, rather than "daily reset" or "tomorrow", and the pace is stated the same way on every page that mentions it.
Improved Need one more chapter today? Buy a single chapter or a bundle of three with card or PayPal — it is credited the moment you come back, and the balance shows on your account page.
Improved Annual plans give twelve months for the price of ten.
Improved Your outline-ready email now says how many chapters were actually planned, and tells you the moment it is done rather than hours later.

Kestrel, your writing partner

New Brainstorm with Kestrel — A real conversation about your book, with its own door in the studio chrome. Talk through characters, plot holes, or what should happen next, without leaving the chapter you’re writing.
New She remembers you — Kestrel carries what she has learned about you and your book between conversations, so you don’t start from scratch every session. You can read everything she remembers, and delete any of it.
New Turn the conversation into an edit — Once you’ve worked something out in chat, Kestrel can draft it as a change to the chapter, which you review before it lands.
New One notebook — Chapter polish notes and Notes now pass text both ways, and Kestrel can write into them.
Improved Answers that fit the question — A seven-word question no longer comes back with five hundred words, and Kestrel stops narrating her own wiring.

A single design across the studio

Improved One visual language — Write, Ship, Story Wizard, Import, Translate, Exports, Media and every book tool now share one type scale, one accent colour, and one set of surfaces. Previously each page had drifted into its own.
Improved Icons — Replaced site-wide with Bootstrap Icons: outline glyphs by default, colour kept for the few things where it carries meaning, and each glyph now actually draws what its name says.
Improved Book tools — All 27 panes rebuilt into one readable column with a draggable nav. Buttons that can’t run now say why instead of doing nothing.
Improved Phones and tablets — The chrome folds away while you write, the toolbar no longer overlaps the header, and the prose gets the screen back. Support chat and menus stop opening off-screen.
Improved Chapters drawer and Notes — One surface instead of five, readable type, and the chapter number printed once.
Fixed Save status — The dot follows the save again in every state, and a switch that controlled nothing on screen now says so.

Book quality & coherence

New Coherence passes — An echo sweep, an outline review, a payoffs ledger, continuity repair, and a review surface that shows what each pass actually changed.
Improved Your cast, kept — The book uses the people you named and keeps their spelling, instead of meeting new characters late on.
Improved Shape across the whole book — Arc milestones land on schedule, opening chapters stop reaching for the same ritual, and chapter titles are drawn from the whole chapter in the book’s own register.
Fixed Chapters that went missing — Three separate causes: a cleanup pass was deleting finished chapters, a failed quality gate left a hole in the novel, and a short polish pass could eat the draft.
Fixed Length gates — They now agree with each other on what counts as long enough, and on Free a single style flag no longer throws a whole chapter away.
Fixed Outline drift — Dropped chapters, truncated beat tails, and newline-collapsed chapters are all recovered rather than shipped.

Story Wizard

Improved Show the book being made — The wizard walks you through the book taking shape instead of asking 32 questions up front, with a designed step flow and a visible selected state.
Improved Start by what you’re making — New authors are asked what they want to write before being asked for a genre.
Fixed Half-finished outlines — Accepting an outline that is still being written is no longer possible, and the table of contents stops reading as a template.
Fixed Lost outline chapters — Chapters dropped because of a repeated heading are recovered, collapsed sections stop rendering their contents, and Continue accepts an outline that is only being polished.

Import, Translate & Export

Improved Failed URL imports explain themselves — Seventeen different failures now name the cause and the next step, instead of “the import stopped before finishing”.
Fixed EPUB import — The book’s own title wins over the filename, one-line chapters are no longer skipped as front matter, and “About the Author” stops importing as a chapter.
Fixed Translate — The chapter label is localised even when the title itself can’t be translated, so a Spanish book stops being headed “Chapter 1”. Blocked starts now point at the field responsible.
Improved PDF export — Upgraded to dompdf 3.1.6 with fonts it can actually read, and the higher-fidelity Chrome engine now runs — and says so plainly when it can’t start.
Improved KDP pack — The bundle’s README now describes what is actually in the bundle.

Books that aren’t written in English

Fixed Word counts — Russian and Japanese books counted zero words; Czech and Polish counted far too many, because accents were treated as word breaks. Every count now measures the language the prose is written in.
Fixed Text cut mid-character — Prompts, generation, exports and previews now trim by characters rather than bytes, so accented and non-Latin text no longer breaks into replacement squares.
Fixed Names in every alphabet — Capitalisation and the author initial in your avatar now work outside the Latin alphabet.

AI Manga & Comic Studio

Fixed Apostrophes in scripts — A line like “Close-up of Naledi’s notebook, the city’s grid” was silently losing the words between the two apostrophes before it reached the artist, and the leftover fragments were being offered as speech balloons.
Fixed Cast consistency across pages — Uploaded character reference photos stopped being sent after page 1, and every character was named twice in the panel prompt, so a two-hander asked the artist for four people.
Improved When a panel doesn’t come back — A page left short by an image-service error now says so, and one tap fills the gap without redrawing the panels you already have.
New Share links that revoke — Panel images are served through a gated endpoint, so turning a share link off actually withdraws access instead of leaving the URL working forever.

Free tools & discovery

Improved Twenty free tools are findable — The tools that earn search traffic are now indexed, and their titles and descriptions are no longer truncated in results.
Improved Guides hub — Numbered so the whole catalogue is two clicks deep.
Fixed Guest tool links — Tool URLs that 404’d for signed-out visitors now resolve.

Story Studio

New Story Wizard recommended — New books and onboarding now lead with Story Wizard: short brief → review & accept outline → Chapter 1, then write one chapter at a time (or run the rest when you want). Bring a manuscript or Translate a book are also available.
New Clearer start-path names — Paths use consistent labels across Story Studio, onboarding, and email: Start a new book, Bring a manuscript, and Translate a book.
Improved Outline → Chapter 1 handoff — Accept outline, write later, Free daily pause, and Chapter 1 start share one server-owned phase so reload and Stop no longer skip review, false-ready empty shells, or auto-start Chapter 1 after Accept & write later.
Improved Free chapter pause — When Kestrel — Free’s daily new-chapter slot is used before Chapter 1, Story Studio locks cleanly, keeps your accepted outline, and resumes after the daily reset or when you upgrade — without inventing a pause while allowance is still loading.
Improved Stop during outline — If an outline was already drafted when you stop, Review & accept still opens; true cancels show a clear retry path without pulling in a stale outline.
Improved Coaching tips — First-session tips are back with clearer copy for Write and Ship. They stay quiet during outline builds and Chapter 1 generation, then return when the studio is idle.
Improved Story Health fixes — Clearer Fix controls with live health resync, safer book-wide passes, and smarter single-chapter vs full-book repair.
Improved Notes & onboarding — Notes open faster, and onboarding start paths match the same Story Studio catalog you see in the dashboard.

Publishing Tools

New Kindle Description Generator — Draft two genre-aware Amazon product descriptions from your title and pitch. Optional cover upload is resized to 1600×2560 px in your browser. Powered by Kestrel — Free.

New Kindle & KDP Book Formatter — Four-step browser workflow from manuscript upload through EPUB validation, optional AI cover art, blurb, and metadata to a ready-to-upload ZIP for Kindle Direct Publishing.
Improved Tools hub badges — The public tools directory and each tool sidebar show New (added in the last 3 months) and Updated (touched in the last month) labels so recent tools stand out at a glance.
Improved Manuscript Cleanup Report — Refreshed composite scan with clearer readability scoring and show-don't-tell hints in the analysis output.
Improved Free tools library — Expanded to 39 browser-based tools including AI Manga Studio, AI Book Cover Generator, and Kindle & KDP Formatter; most run with no login required.

Story Studio

New Dashboard Tools navigation — All free writing tools live in the left sidebar under Tools, grouped by category. Expand a group with + to reveal links; your open groups persist for the session.
New Ship tab cover studio — The Story Studio Ship tab embeds the same cover creator for AI art, genre typography, and KDP-sized export without leaving your project.
Improved Generation safeguards — Warns before switching tabs or leaving Write while a job is running, blocks accidental duplicate starts, rolls back cancelled navigation, and keeps your session alive during long generation runs.

Write Studio Intelligence

New Story Codex — Built-in story bible that tracks characters, locations, items, factions, and lore with first/last-seen chapters. Auto-extracts entries from generated chapters.
