At the moment, this feature seems not to be necessary due to the stability of novelibre. However, errors can be introduced by plugins at any time.

Create an autosave file of the current novel. This may be a binary file, e.g. by pickle.
On regular project save, delete the autosave file.
On closing the program, delete the autosave file.
If an autosave file exists on program start up, show a dialog for optional auto-restoring, like LibreOffice does.

Open questions:

What triggers autosaving?
If an autosave file exists on start up, are the plugins then suspicious and should no longer be loaded?
Has exception handling to be adapted, so that autosave files are kept?
What if novelibre is started with another project right after the crash?
