The official release of 2.0 isn't scheduled until November 1st The official release of 2.0 isn't scheduled until November 1st--to coincide with NaNoWriMo's kickoff--but Literature & Latte released this trial version, which will remain fully functional from now until December 7, so that prospective NaNoWriMo participants can give the software a shot.

It even comes with a special NaNoWriMo novel template which automatically sets your target at the requisite 50,000 words.

Of course, the real star here is the much anticipated version 2.0 of Scrivener, which includes a bunch of new features, such as the ability to export projects in the ePub format (suitable for viewing in iBooks) as well as Amazon's Kindle format. There's also now a free-form corkboard for organizing your project any way you want; collections, to allow you to easily group documents together without changing the actual structure of your project; syncing support for both Mac and iOS syncing with DropBox and Simplenote; improved snapshots and backups of your Vintage work; document templates (such as the NaNoWriMo novel template); a Page Layout view; and many, many more little improvements, nips, and tucks.
