Version History

The {cycling link} and {dropdown menu} inserts now handle numeric choices correctly.

1.2.1, 17 January 2021

If a variable is set to an array, it can now be dereferenced using an insert, e.g. {myArray[1]}.

This introduces a change in how story progress is saved in players' browsers. If you re-publish a story with this version of Chapbook that had been published with an earlier one, players will lose their progress.

Adds a passages() function to engine.story, currently undocumented, for use by author scripts. This provides access to all passages in the story.
Player progress is now saved using a combination of the story name and its IFID. This is prevent collisions, e.g. if authors ever named two different stories Test, saved progress would collide.
Now, when a player navigates to a new passage, the browser will always return to the top. In the past, the scroll position on a sufficiently long passage would remain the same.
Fixes a bug where changing style (via certain variables like config.style.page.font) would cause an error message when restarting a story.
Fixes a bug where the copy-and-paste section of the Style tab of Backstage did not update when changes were made.
Corrects documentation about styling the header and footer (thanks, Gospodin).

1.1.1, 17 May 2020

1.1.0, 10 May 2020

Adds a new insert, {no ambient sound}, which stops any existing ambient sound.
Adds a link to this documentation in the story format's description in Twine.
Updates browser support to browserslist's default preset.
Fixes a bug with using decimals in font sizes, e.g. 1.25rem.
Fixes a bug where clicking a cycling link too fast could cause the web browser tab to lock up.
Fixes a bug with the {reveal link} insert where paragraph ordering was incorrect.
Fixes a bug where setting config.body.transition.name to none caused paragraphs in passages to stack horizontally instead of vertically.
Fixes several bugs with using objects as variables.
Fixes some inaccurate parts of this guide.
