AntWordProfiler Changelog

What's new in AntWordProfiler 2.0.1

Jun 8, 2022
  • Bug features:
  • In the previous version, clicking “Start” in the “File Profiler” tool would cause all the information for all files in the “Statistics” tab to be updated before showing the profile for the selected text. This could slow the performance so now the “Statistics” page will not be updated. To update the “Statistics” tab, you will need to click the “Start” button in that tab.
  • In the previous version, clicking “Start” in the “File Profiler” tool would cause a temporary file to be created and displayed if the file profiler was not showing the contents of a currently selected file. Now, if no file contents is being shown and the “Start” button is clicked when a file is selected, the contents of that file will be shown.
  • Progress during the “File Profiler” updating is now shown in steps.
  • The PDF to text converter engine has been updated and some settings have been changed to allow it to deal with a wider variety of PDF oddities

New in AntWordProfiler 2.0.0 (Apr 18, 2022)

  • New features:
  • AntWordProfiler has now been completely re-written in Python. Allowing for a much-improved user
  • experience. All existing functionality has been ported to the new version except for thesaurus-based file
  • simplification. If this featured is desired by users, I will consider adding it to a future release.
  • The build process to compile the app for Windows has been updated. Now the application is released with
  • an installer or as a portable application. The app is also digitally signed by Microsoft so fewer security errors
  • will appear.
  • The build process to compile the app for Mac OS has been updated. Now the application is released as a dmg
  • file that can be installed into a normal location (e.g., the Applications folder). The app is also digitally signed
  • and notarized by Apple so no security errors will appear.
