November 30, 2025 (XV4 build 25222)
New
•Q++Studio's support for all versions of InDesign, from InDesign 2020 to InDesign 2026, now includes tested support for the latest update to InDesign 2026 (version 21.0.2 of November 27, 2025).
•Q++Studio's support for all versions of InDesign, from InDesign 2020 to InDesign 2026, now includes tested support for the latest update to InDesign 2026 (version 21.0.1 of November 17, 2025).

Improved
•The number of defined pages in a script is now calculated fully (in the same manner that it is calculated when generating the diary), and not just estimated, which means that its value should now be always correct and that spurious occurrences of messages 15005 and 110027 should no longer occur in scripts that use templates where is is difficult to guess how many pages are needed to cover a certain number of days, such as 7 days on 2 pages, 7 days on 4 pages, 7 days on 6 pages. The only possible cases when the generated number of pages, and the defined number of pages might differ is when using tokens to delete pages.
•Added the macro function List_Insert.
Fixed
•Single-step delete chars tokens would be ignored when using InDesign (Nippecraft, 27-nov-2025).
•Checkboxes in the grayed intermediate state could not easily be differentiated from those in the checked state, under Windows 11 (Lecas, 17-nov-2026).
•The 2-digit conditional year token [Yy] would not be converted (Lecas, 17-nov-2026).
•The macro function List_RemoveDuplicates was limited to lists of 256 elements or less (Brunnen, 12-nov-2025).
