A new feature is the ability to filter rows when viewing a storyboard, making it easier to concentrate on certain story threads.

This release brings you spell-checking as you type, a feature that has been frequently requested by customers.

Support for Big Sur in beta, December 3rd 2020

As you may know, Apple have released some pretty interesting ARM-based Macs recently, running Big Sur (macOS 11). Big Sur and ARM support has required some retooling of Jutoh, but a beta is now available on the Download page for intrepid Jutoh customers to download and try out. It's a universal binary, so will run on Mojave and higher, Intel or ARM (natively). This beta also adds dark mode support on Mac.

All feedback on the beta is appreciated!
