Release Notes for Scrivener Beta 21 (2.9.0.21) - Release Candidate 1

With our 31st August 2019 target release date not too far away, we are pleased to announce our first Scrivener 3.0 for Windows release candidate. This release candidate has bugs fixes and a fully updated Tutorial project. We can't recommend enough the benefits of taking the time to work through the new tutorial as it will probably highlight valuable features within Scrivener that you may not be aware of and make you even more productive when using Scrivener. The tutorial also highlights the main Mac Scrivener 2.x and 3.x features that are now available and functional within Windows Scrivener - finally! Naturally we'd appreciate any feedback on the tutorial - typos, or just things not working as expected. Note: you will need to rename, or delete, an existing tutorial to use the new tutorial - instructions on how to do this are at the end of this release note.
