Sigil version 2.3.0 represents a mix of bug fixes and new features. Sigil 2.3.0 also marks the first version to only support building with Qt6.
Changes in this Release
New Features
- removed support for building Sigil with Qt5 as our code had become a rats nest of qt version ifdefs. See our git branch “qt5final” for the very last buildable version of Sigil under Qt5
- our new minium version to build Qt is Qt 6.4.0 or later
- removed the need and usage for Qt6Compat5 as its contents were deprecated and will go away eventually
- added support for using the ICU library to help replace the range of encodings supported by the old QTextCodec
- we are now using NFC unicode normalization form for all content, links, urls, and file paths.
- made Sigil’s Well-Formed Check (Sanity Check) more robust to whitespace parsing rules and allowed it to detect and report missing XML Headers
- we have upgraded to use Qt 6.7.2 and Python 3.11.9 for the base of our Windows and MacOS releases
- added a Bookmark Location toolbar icon right beside the Back button for easier use
- Opening EditTOC, SpeckcheckEditor or MetaDataEditor will now highlight the first line entry
- Add new Tool: Rebase OPF Manifest IDs on Current Filenames
- Update to 3rdparty PCRE2 version 10.44 for bug fixes
- General code cleanup to remove unneeded hacks and workarounds for old Qt bugs now fixed
Bug Fixes
- reverted all Qt Buttons and CheckBoxes to default TabFocus to speed up focus changes and reduce clicks
- fixed SelectFiles (AddCover, Insert Image) to again use the arrows keys to walk the list
- fixed some lost or stolen focus issues
- fix overwriting of existing nav document and cover-image manifest properties
- fix for Reports column sorting that use thousands group separators
- fix for Reports file size column that did not properly use QLocale for decimal points and separators
- fix crashing due to PCRE2 bugs in Qt 6.7.2 with their internal PCRE2
