NEW! Re-designed library synchronisation. After a careful look at the speed of and bandwidth use during library synchronisation, we rebuilt a much faster and more reliable data synchronisation experience and are now ready to release it. There is no longer a need for lock files either.
- *NOTE! to sync this beta version with Papers for iOS, you will need to use Papers for iOS 3.1.8 beta version using Testflight. Please sign up to Papers for iOS beta access here *

NEW! Scripting support: Papers can now be automated with AppleScript and, coming with OS X 10.10 later this year, with JavaScript. You can script fetching data from a Papers library, manipulating it, or execute commands such as import, export or match. Enjoy!
