Release Notes

This patch release is a bug fix release addressing issues with the document editor's search and replace tool. Due to some recently added restrictions on when various tools are active, depending on which part of the main window has the user's focus, the search tool keyboard shortcuts and buttons were blocked when they shouldn't. This release resolves these issues.

Detailed Changelog

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue with the search bar where the button and shortcut actions would be blocked unless the document itself had focus. This focus check was added for all the text altering functions, but should not affect search and replace. The search and replace actions now bypass the regular action pipeline with the focus check. Issue #708. PR #709.

Documentation

• Improve the instructions for setup on Linux when manually installing using the setup.py script. Previously, the documentation wasn't very clear on the difference between a user space install and a system wide install. Neither did it explain how to install setuptools if the package is missing. Issue #714. PR #715.
