Version 2.2, January 25, 1996

• Got rid of some of Excalibur's alerts. The program operation is much smoother. Excalibur displays the current state of the program rather than announce it with alerts.
• Excalibur no longer beeps when it can't find a suggestion. Instead, it puts a message into the suggestion box. It's much less annoying now, and it's fast enough on the power Mac that you may want to leave the Auto Suggest option checked.
• Excalibur will now open aliases to dictionaries. For example, suppose there's a dictionary on a server that you would like to use every time you launch Excalibur. Put an alias to that dictionary in the Excalibur folder and it will open it when you launch the program.
• If a document is already open, you can replace it with another as long as a spell check operation is not in progress.
• Excalibur now has a Spanish dictionary. See Other Dictionaries for information on where to find it and other dictionaries.
• Excalibur remembers the folder of the last file you opened.
• Excalibur continues to look for dictionaries after finding an old style dictionary.
• Fixed a dictionary conversion bug that caused Excalibur to think it was out of memory when it really wasn't.
• Revised Excalibur's balloon help.
• Dialogs draw faster on a PowerPC.
• Numbers now have a thousands separator.
• Fixed a problem with hitting the Restart button when the document is a clipboard snapshot.
• Updated the BBEdit icon so that it is in step with the BBEdit 3.5 icon.
• Fixed a bug that caused Excalibur to not properly remember your preferences for commands.
• Fixed a menu update problem.
• Made e-mail address in About Box easier to read.
• There are many other minor changes.
