A minor update has been released for SpinChimp. The update adds several minor new features, fixes usability issues and addresses reported bugs.

Note: (Pro Only) After updating to this version, existing project dictionaries will no longer work. They will need to be detached then reopened from the CSV file. Sorry for the inconvenience, however this change was needed to allow downloadable thesauri (see below).

New features:

• Global Spin now uses common favorites when spinning. A common favorite is a synonym that has been selected as favorite by multiple users. This results in a higher spin percentage when using Global Spin.
• (Pro Only) Added new feature allowing project thesauri to be downloaded from the SpinChimp servers. Current thesauri include French, German and Spanish. This feature will automatically detect new thesauri as they are added to the server. See below for more details.

Minor changes:

• Added option to Global Spin to allow spinning within HTML tags.
• Added option to Global Spin to spin using local thesaurus.
• (Pro Only) Added option to Global Spin to spin using extended (project attached) thesauri.
• (Pro Only) Added option to Global Spin to automatically run the Spin Tidy algorithm after spinning. Spin Tidy fixes grammatical errors and removes redundant words and synonyms.
• (Pro Only) Bulk Spin now uses Global Spin options when spinning. Previously, Bulk Spin used to use best options resulting in highly readable content however the spin % was low.
• (Pro Only) Added option to Bulk Spin allowing Instant Unique to be applied during the Bulk Spin process.
• (Pro Only) Added ability to export local thesaurus synonyms, favorites and hated words.

Bug fixes:

• (Pro Only) Anchor tags were sometimes broken when viewing spin in non-jet spin and non-plain text profiles.
• A bug in the previous version incorrectly added sentences to the local thesaurus when using Rapid Spin.
• Rating up and down of synonym uses has been improved resulting in ever better weightings in the future. Rating now also applies to Rapid Spin and Content spin.

The update is not mandatory however it is HIGHLY recommended that this update be applied as soon as possible to avoid possible loss of work.

• Select the “Project” tab and press the “Select” button

A minor update has been released for SpinChimp. The update adds several minor new features, fixes usability issues and addresses reported bugs.

New features:

• Spin Tidy (Pro only): Available via the Tools menu, this new feature will automatically parse a document containing spin syntax and perform cleanup activities such as removing redundant words within spin and moving “a” and “an” from outside spin into spin to ensure the resulting spin is grammatically correct. All cleanup activities can be viewed within the System Log after running this function. Any bets on how long it will take others to copy this feature? By the way, we are normally the first to include numerous features that find their way into other spinners. See here for details.
• Better text file support: SpinChimp now includes advanced functionality developed for web browsers to assist in determining text file codepage and type. This new feature allows you to load any text file (ASCII, UTF8, UTF16BE, UTF16LE, UTF32, CodePage 1251 and CodePage 1252) into the editor. This feature is extended in the Pro version allowing any text file type to be used when importing synonyms, protected words and so on.
• Bulk spin improvements (Pro only): Bulk spin options now include spinning into a single directory and spinning profiles into a single file using a user defined break code. For example, it is now possible to spin a number of variations of a document into a single file, separated by the phrase “#BREAK#”.

Minor changes:

• Grammar checking enhancements (Pro only): Grammar checking can now be performed from within the Spin and Original views.
• Spin View enhancements (Pro only): Spin modification from within Spin View has been enhanced to color modified spin elements. Existing Spin View code has also been rewritten to be more robust and speed has been greatly improved.
• User added dictionary enhancements (Pro only): User added project dictionaries can now include unicode and codepage text.
• Extremely large file support: Extremely large files are now supported within the editor. All calculations such as Spin%, LSI% (Pro only), text statistics and colouring are now performed within a background task.

Bug fixes:

• Spin as new document: Fixed possible crash that may be caused by this operation.
• Spin view copy all: Fixed possible crash that may be caused by this operation.
