Sigil-0.9.4 Released
Sigil 0.9.4 is now available for download. Sigil-0.9.4 is both a bug fix release and a release to greatly improve epub3 editing and generation all without impacting Sigil's epub2 capabilities.
The main bug fixes are:
The main new features available are:
Be aware that Sigil-0.9.4 still enforces the need for epub3 to have and support an NCX so that it generates as backward a compatible epub as possible. This may be relaxed in future releases. Sigil-0.9.4 like its predecessor passed all of the following tests for epub3 support: iframe, img, audio, video , mathml, svg (except for svg support in the spine), javascript, and of course recognizing and allowing html5 specific tags like section, and etc. Sigil-0.9.4 also supports javascript based local-storage and display of embedded pdfs. Our plan for moving forward for epub3 support in future releases:
Download Location The official location for downloading this Sigil release (and all official releases) is: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/releases/tag/0.9.4 Downloading binaries from anyplace else is simply not a good idea as they could inject anything into their own downloads. After downloading, please verify the downloaded binary exactly matches what was originally posted by running an SHA 256 checksum on the file **before** installing it. See the file Sigil-0.9.4-CHECKSUMS.sha256.txt for the correct checksums for each file and instructions for how to calculate a SHA 256 Checksum for your download. The Mac OS X Package has also been code signed with my Apple Developer signature. Linux Users There are currently no binary releases available for Linux on the Sigil Release page. Please check with your favorite distro's software repositories to see if they have Sigil for installation via your OS's package management system. If not, there are build instructions for compiling Sigil yourself in the source archive's docs directory: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/tree/master/docs Don't forget the FlightCrew plugin Please note, the epub2 validator FlightCrew has been converted to a plugin for Sigil 0.8.900 and later. This plugin has been updated for Sigil-0.9.3 (and later). It can be downloaded from the official Sigil-Ebook flightcrew repository if you have not already installed it. https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/fligh...ases/tag/0.9.1 Attention Mac OS X Users Per the recommendation of www.python.org (see https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/), due to bugs and the age of Apple's internal Tcl library, you should also download and install ActiveState's ActiveTcl Community Edition. To get the latest bug fixes, Sigil-0.9.4's embedded Python has been linked with the very latest version: Tcl 8.6.4.1 We may *not* redistribute this Package with Sigil due to ActiveState's binary non-redistribution policy. So please, if you have not already done so download and install this version of ActiveState's Active Tcl Community Edition, until we get a chance to do our own build of Tcl 8.6.4.1 from source for future releases. ActiveState is a primary contributor to www.python.org and a respected and trusted source for python and tcl/tk related binaries on both Windows and Mac OS X. See: http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads Version: 8.6.4.1 Some Additional things When you fire up Sigil for the very first time:

I have trouble in typing Korean. When typing Korean, the cursor turns into the underbar(_) and even disappears as I strike enter to go next line.
My system is a korean version of Windows 10. Screenshot available here: http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3vH...ew?usp=sharing As for the alphabet, it works fine. and one more, every time I create a "Sectionxxxx.xhtml", I have to insert some code to show Korean in the complete epub. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="ko"> without (xml:lang="ko"), Sigil produces nothing but just blank pages. If it is combined with some alphabet, only the alphabet appears. so, I was wondering if there is an option to make a user configured template, if not, why don't you make some option for this? Sigil lacks a little as to "The International". Except for that, it's a really really best intuitive tool!! Thank for your job, best regard!!!! Last edited by DiapDealer; 03-14-2016 at 06:40 PM. |

I don't speak Korean, but when I tested the default Windows 10 IME, I had no problems entering Korean characters phonetically in Book View and Code View. If you're using a third-party IME, it might not be compatible with Sigil. Quote:
You might have to change the default fonts in Sigil or reset them to the default settings. (Edit > Preferences > Appearance.) |

I will need a lot more detail ...
1. What versions of Sigil have you tested this with? 2. Are you saying this is a new problem in Sigil-0.9.4? 3. Are you seeing this in Code View or Book View or both? 4. Is your system using any third party / system level input methods? 5. Are you saying you can see nothing in BookView if you do not add the xml:lang attribute or are you saying that some epub readers will not show the text without the xml:lang attribute on the html tag? Technically the xml:lang attribute should not be needed in an epub that has properly set the dc:language metadata in the OPF. It sounds as if it is Sigil itself that will not show the text in Preview or BookView according to your post. If so, I can not recreate that on my Mac OS X build of Sigil. 6. Is this with epub2 or epub3? Please file an official issue on our github site with this information. Also please include a link in that issue to short sample epub (no commercial epubs) that will demonstrate the missing text without an xml:lang attribute set. Thanks, KevinH Quote:

Why can't you give a direct download link to the installer(s)? For non english speakers it is nearly impossible to find a link at the github site.

All downloads are at the very bottom of the page. As to direct download links here at Mobileread: I prefer not to. Many people don't like having file downloads thrust upon them this early in the process. Most like to see what they're getting into (file-size, etc.) before starting the download themselves. And won't non-english speakers have the same problem coming here and navigating their way to a direct download post? Last edited by DiapDealer; 03-14-2016 at 12:20 PM. |

We do, the following is taken directly from the release announcement:
Download Location The official location for downloading this Sigil release (and all official releases) is: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/releases/tag/0.9.4 All of the links are at the bottom of the page. Please remember to make sure to download and check the sha256 Checksums to make sure your chosen binary has not been tampered with. KevinH Last edited by KevinH; 03-14-2016 at 12:38 PM. |

I am using the official IME, and I am not talking about the display in Sigil editor. I am talking about the blinking cursor that disappears when I strike Enter while typing Korean. I can type Korean. The blinking cursor DISAPPEARS! Previous versions also have the same problem. Secondly, I am talking about the final epub file produced by Sigil without the additional xml tag. I can type Korean without changing the setting. Thank you anyway. |

Hi sdjskr,

KevinH Edit: Will you please open a blank epub in Sigil and go to BookView and start typing Korean and hit enter. Repeat as needed until the cursor disappears. Then immediately after the cursor disappears save the epub as is (do not move back to CodeView) and post that resulting buggy epub for me. I should be able to open it and examine exactly what unicode character code is being generated when you hit enter by looking at it in a hex editor.

Thanks!
![]() (Just wanted to let you to know that it compiled very nicely on Linux Mint. I didn't have to set "lib-path" as I did with 0.9.3 (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=39)). |

At first, I wrote some Korean and Alphabet in a notepad to demonstrate how the cursor turns into. As of Sigil editor, I cannot see where I am typing because of the missing cursor as soon as I hit Enter. It's kind of frustrating. https://youtu.be/yRyjTxIQ2dQ I expect that to be solved soon! best regard!!!! |

Hi,
using the new metadata editor i'm getting an opf:scheme marc:relators attribute all the time when editing the creator metadata. As far as i know this is only necessary for epub3. Why is it inserted even if i'm editing an epub2 book? //rubeus |

opf:scheme is the proper way to handle epub2 when assigning a marc:relators role for dc creator or dc contributor. vIt has always been added under epub2 to the opf metadata. bThe new gui just is showing you what is actually going on. epub3 does not allow it and forces you to use meta property refines for role and unprefixed scheme.
