Version 1.4.0 Micro-Publishing with Typemill
Version 1.4.0 is out with some breaking changes and with a brand new ebook plugin (beta), that will turn Typemill into a book production studio for micro-publishers. The breaking changes require an update of your theme! You can download the new version from the startpage of typemill.
Hotfix 1.4.0.1
Version 1.4.0 had a very little error with a pretty dramatic result: Meta data where not stored due to a typo. So please use 1.4.0.1 that has been published today (23.10.2020).
Update your Theme
Version 1.4.0 has a breaking change so old themes will probably not work correctly with Typemill 1.4.0. If you use one of the free theme, then please actualize your theme, soon. If you created your own theme, then please delete the base-url in your theme. Read more on GitHub.

I was on parental leave so this release took a very long time (more than three month). The upcomming releases will be much faster, new versions are usually published every four weeks.
