Sigil version 2.4.0 represents a mix of bug fixes and new features. Also note that the Microsoft VC++ runtime redistributable is no longer being bundled in the Sigil Windows installer starting with version 2.3.1. This should already be installed on any Windows PC that Sigil is supported on.
Changes in this Release
New Features
- added a GetInfo dialog and right click menu option for XHTML files that provides a collection of information specific to that file without having to run Reports (including a word count)
- added support for multiple semantics per xhtml file, while uncommon is technically allowed by the spec
- made debugging with VS IDE easier
- streamlined Sigil logos and installer for Windows
- improve Sigil Well-Formed (sanity check) to better identify errors with missing attribute quotes
- update to Qt 6.7.3 and its PySide6 version for MacOS and Windows release builds
- updates to building on linux documentation
- add support for building with and using virtual python environments on Windows and Linux
- change Replacement Chooser to use Checkboxes to determine if replacements should be made, no deletes
- allow Windows Sigil installer to run on Windows arm64
Bug Fixes
- readability improvments for Load Warnings (thank you BeckyEbook)
- remove xhtml meta charset information after converting to utf-8 on initial load to prevent encoding errors
- forced the Preferences KeyboardShortcuts assign and remove buttons into the tab focus chain
- PR #778 building Sigil with recent Qt versions that no longer accept the QT_IMPLICIT_QCHAR_CONSTRUCTION macro
- fixes for using QTimeZone to prevent build warnings where possible (modified version of PR #779)
