Docset Generator and Website Copier:
- Dash 7 includes a general-purpose docset generator and website copier in Preferences > Downloads > Docset Generator
- You can generate docsets by copying any website for offline use, or from local HTML files
- The Website Copier is based on WKWebView and is able to scrape JavaScript-heavy websites
- You can generate docsets from the command-line as well, by exporting the docset config created in Dash

New Fuzzy Search Engine:
- Dash 7 includes a completely rewritten fuzzy search engine, which makes it easier to find the page you need, fast

Streamlined Search Experience:
- Dash 7 will now search disabled docsets when you start your search query with the docset name or keyword (e.g. searching for “css display” will search for “display” in the CSS docset even when the CSS docset is disabled)
- Docsets now appear as search results, so you can search for “css” if you want to easily activate or browse the CSS docset
- Special characters and diacritics are normalized within the search index, so it’s easier to search for entries that contain these characters
- URLs typed in the search field are detected and Dash offers to open them
- Full-text search results will now perform an in-page search when you open them

Navigate Back/Forward Using Two-Finger Swipes:
- You can now navigate between pages using two-finger swipe gestures

Other Changes:
- Searching the table of contents of a page using CMD+F now supports fuzzy queries
- New Rust Docsets Repo in Preferences > Downloads, based on docs.rs
- Tagged custom web searches. You can choose to include the docset keyword when setting up web searches, in Preferences > Web Search
- Full-text search can now be enabled for all docsets by default, in Preferences > Docsets > Settings
- You can now right-click links to open them in a new tab

New Pricing Model:
- I’ve decided to switch Dash to a subscription pricing model, as the paid upgrade pricing model is no longer a good fit
- Dash’s highest development priority is docset updates and supporting new docsets, but the paid upgrade pricing model focuses on new features. The subscription pricing model will allow me to focus more on Dash’s #1 feature: its docsets.
