Twine 2.12.0 released on 10 April 2026. Major highlights in this release include a new way to see tags in the story map, a better tag autocomplete, and native Japanese language support.

Full Notes

New Features Added

• When adding tags, multiple suggestions are now shown when more than one existing one matches what’s been typed.
• A new preference has been added where tags now appear as badges with names on passage cards instead of a thin stripe of color. When this preference is active, all badges are shown on passage cards regardless of whether a color has been assigned to them.
• App Twine has been updated to Electron 41.
• A Japanese localization has been added.

Bugs Fixed

• Long passage names now display with an ellipsis in the title bars of passage editors, instead of the title bar getting taller.
• The start passage on duplicated stories is now set correctly.
• A bug where passage name completions in the passage editor didn’t appear in certain situations has been fixed.
• An unnecessary delay when loading localizations has been fixed.
• The Ukrainian localization has been improved.

Story Format Updates

• Chapbook has been updated to version 2.3.1.
