Nisus Writer Pro 2.1.4
Nisus Software has released Nisus Writer Pro 2.1.4, closing a potential security risk in Sparkle (see “Sparkle Vulnerability Real, but Exploits Highly Unlikely,” 15 February 2016) and fixing a bug introduced in the previous version that prevented list items from updating with the correct formatting. The powerful word processor now ensures that macros relying upon English menu titles work when using a non-English localization, fixes a crash that occurred when importing documents with footnotes/endnotes inside table cells, and fixes a bug that prevented links from being added to PDFs saved to any drive other than the startup drive.

I'm still surprised that Nisus hasn't bothered offer retina graphics support in Nisus Writer Pro. I've requested the feature, and received a very non-committing response, giving me the impression that it's very low on their list.
Retina Macs have been available since 2012, and it's very clear that they will soon be the only type of Mac that Apple will sell. Non-retina-updated apps do run on a retina Mac, but they appear so pixelated and ugly that I try to avoid using them if at all possible. I can't imagine I'm the only one who feels this way, but I'm guessing many of us don't bother to let the developer know, and therefore it's not seen as a priority.
TL:DR - Fellow retina users - if the software you use (or want to use) hasn't been updated, please request that the developer add retina graphics!
Apple usually makes provisions for things like this. That made me curious so I looked it up. If you haven't already, try this: Open apps in Low Resolution mode
If you notice that an app looks different than you expect on your Retina display, try opening the app using Low Resolution mode:
Quit the app if it's open.
1.In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
2.In the Applications folder that opens, click the app's icon so it's highlighted.
3. Choose Get Info from the File menu.
4. Place a checkmark next to "Open in Low Resolution"
Open in Low Resolution
Please post and let me (and all other readers) if this solves your problem.
