XenWord continues to mature as bugs are squashed, features are cleaned up, and integration between XenForo and WordPress is improved. With the release of XenForo 1.4.5 and WordPress 4.1.1, XenWord 2.4.1 stable is now ready for download for all license holders.
The most important improvement is in thread creation. Custom posts were a struggle and required other features to be turned on. This is no longer the case.
In terms of aesthetics, the changelog is now in a separate file with its own CSS. The marking of bug fix, new options, and new files are more prominent. I’ve update the FAQs with a few more items, and clarified some items in the readme text.

Upgrades
Backup your database before you install this upgrade.
Do not overwrite files during an upgrade. This is important because file names have changed as well as some option names. If widgets do not load then your absolute path is probably incorrect. Use XenForo’s phpinfo (/admin.php?tools/phpinfo) to find the absolute path and save the information in the XenWord settings. Review the thread creation settings to make sure you have them as desired.
Please test the upgrade on a local environment before doing an upgrade on a live production site.
Support
Feel free to post in the support forums or open a ticket. Please do not post sensitive information in the public forums. Please do not send personal messages because they cannot be tracked to make sure everything is fixed up for you.
Great job @Layne Heiny.
Remind everyone to save the settings after the upgrade !

Are you thinking about adding more widgets to the WordPress side?

There should be more widgets. We need the trending to be available on the WordPress side. The login needs to be more prominent, too.
