 # novelWriter Changelog
 
+## Version 2.4.3 [2024-05-20]
+
+### Release Notes
+
+This is a patch release that fixes issues with the document font in the editor, viewer and
+manuscript preview on some Linux distros, and also fixes a potential crash on Windows when using
+the spell check dictionary install tool.
+
+### Detailed Changelog
+
+**Bugfixes**
+
+* Fix a crash in the dictionaries install tool on Windows if the config folder reported by the
+  third party Enchant spell checker tool didn't already exist prior to adding new dictionaries.
+  The folder is now created when the tool is opened if it doesn't exist. Issue #1874. PR #1876.
+* Fix issues setting a different text font for the editor and viewer, and related issues with the
+  preview in the Manuscript Build tool, on certain platforms. Changing the font and setting
+  non-standard font sizes produced unexpected results when reloading. The issue seems to be related
+  to Qt 5.15.3, but that is not fully confirmed. However, the only place so far where the issue is
+  observed is on Mint 21.3. Issues #1862 and #1875. PR #1877.
+
+----
+
+## Version 2.4.2 [2024-05-18]
+
+### Release Notes
+
+This is a patch release that fixes two minor font issues and updates the Dutch and Chinese
+translations.
+
+### Detailed Changelog
+
+**Bugfixes**
+
+* Change the preview widget in the Manuscript Build tool to use the document font only for the
+  document itself, not the yellow heading stating the age of the previewed text. PR #1863.
+* Fixes the syntax highlighter so that it is re-initialised when the document editor is
+  re-initialised, so that changes to document font size regenerates the heading font sizes as well.
+  Issue #1865. PR #1866.
+
+**Internationalisation**
+
+* Dutch translation updated by Martijn van der Kleijn (@mvdkleijn). PR #1872.
+* Chinese translation updated by @longqzh. PR #1872.
