Sigil v0.1.6
The changelog for version 0.1.6. follows:
Quote:
Unfortunately not everything they did was great. They screwed a few things up, and now Webkit (the Book View engine) loads pages with images considerably longer. Also, resizing has become borderline impossible with the new slowdown. But apart from these, they say Webkit should be more responsive. I'm dying to hear about that. Anyway, they say they'll fix these performance regressions with loading and resizing webkit in Qt 4.6.1, which should be out in January... They also half-fixed the font loading problems: custom fonts in webkit now won't cause crashes, but font variants (custom bold and italic fonts) still don't show up... But to give credit where it is due... Text rendering in Book View is now a lot nicer, and the fresh new API's have enabled the creation of the indenting and format clearing WYSIWYG actions. Also, I should now be able to speed up Book View Find&Replace operations. In other news, work on 0.2.0 will now be starting in earnest. The 0.1.x branch is entering maintenance, which means you'll see new releases there only if some major bugs show up or a considerable amount of smaller ones accumulate. Anyway, enjoy. I'd love to get input regarding this version, since new Qt may have messed some (other) things up too. It should have fixed more than a few I'm not aware of as well. EDIT: Hold on, Nokia added a new dependency without mentioning it anywhere so now Sigil won't launch. It will take me a few minutes to recompile and upload new installers. EDIT2: Done.

Woohoo!!! Excellent Valloric!
Just one question, how come the Linux binaries have exploded so much in size? Anyway, great work as usual! |

I tried to use InstallJammer's LZMA compression on the installers (halves the final installer size), but this fails on Linux x86. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next version of IJ. 100 MB is a big download. |

I am going to ask a very stupid question
I don't know anything about Linux, but I would like to install linux version. I have a laptop with Ubuntu 9.10 What do I do with the *.bin file? Do I unpack/mount/open it? |

First make it executable, and then run it. |

Valloric, for some reason S&R is much quicker now on OSX Leopard.
edit: wait, i'm still on .1.5! The only thing I have changed was that Java was updated on Snow Leopard the other day-could that have speeded things up? Last edited by kjk; 12-07-2009 at 11:50 AM. |

Well, there is not much more to say, when I try to launch Sigil from the shortcut it won't run, and when I launch it from a command window it prints the error I mentioned in my previous comment.
Does anybody else experience issues on Linux? |

It should now work. If it doesn't... well I don't know. I'm using the Nokia prebuilt binaries of Qt, instead of the Ubuntu ones used in previous releases (there are no Ubuntu binaries for Qt 4.6). It could be that this is causing some problems... although it shouldn't. I'd like to know too. |

Java? Hell no. Then again, who knows what the Nokia guys are doing on Mac to make Qt work. It's a very weird port, I can tell you that. |
