I've made a new beta version of Pepys available. This version contains many bugfixes and one new feature. The internal storage and display code has been refactored to pave the way for new upcoming features. and hopefully there should be less bugs now so future releases can concentrate on adding features. The first, and most requested, new feature is already there: you can now highlight any text and turn it into a link simply by pressing CTRL and L. The ability to link to external web pages is coming very soon too.
There were also two very important limitations that were fixed in this release. Copy and paste now works reliably and undo now behaves properly and undoes only your actions, not the hidden ones used by Pepys when it's detecting links.
As with all beta software there may be unforeseen problems that could result in loss of data. If you're not comfortable with running beta software then please don't download this. Wait for version 1.0.4.0 instead.
The download is here: pepys-1.0.3.5.exe
Download this file into your Pepys installation directory and run it from there.
If you have any feedback on this version such as bugs or suggestions, then please join the pepys-beta mailing list and post them there.
