Sigil 0.7.4 Released
This is a small maintenance release of Sigil. Books with an invalid doctype should open as they did in version prior to 0.7.3. Also, this release has a build for OS X using Qt 5.2.0 Beta 1. This release should support Mavericks though it has not been tested on Mavericks.

Seems to start and function on 10.9 - no crashes as of yet! (don't expect any but Mavericks is being funky about some things.) |

Any chance of an x64 build for Windows?

When the 7.0 came out it wasn't possible because Qt5 didn't have 64-bit libraries available. They have them now and I can build a 64-bit version, but since I don't have a licensed copy of VS it's a rather involved undertaking for me. I figured for maintainers it would be much easier, which is why I asked.

Qt does have precompiled Windows binaries now but I can't use them (or may not be able to). The issue is that I use the free compiler Microsoft provides. It's part of the Windows SDK. The Windows 7 SDK (which I'm using because I have Windows 7) comes with VC++ 2010. Qt has 32 bit binaries for use with VC++ 2010. The 64 bit builds are for VC++ 2012 which is part of the Windows 8 SDK. I haven't investigated if the Windows 8 SDK will install and work on Windows 7. Other than the time it takes to build Sigil twice, that's the main road block. |

I have tried using 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Sigil. I couldn't really determine any difference. There would be more difference with a program that was able to use more than one core, but that adds yet another layer of complication.
