- Update to 0.9.15
A Beta Release of Sigil ported to QtWebEngine to replace QtWebKit
* New Features
- ported to use QtWebEngine (based on Chromium) to replace
QtWebkit
- QtWebEngine plugs many major memory leaks.
Memory footprint should stay low to moderate.
- QtWebEngine has ongoing security and support patches from
Qt/Google/Chromium
- removes the broken/deprecated BookView Editor that relied on
QtWebKit
- created PageEdit app (that uses QtWebEngine) that replaces
much BookView functionality
(see https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/PageEdit)
- allows the user to control use of javascript and remote
access by epubs when editing to improve overall security
- adds action to launch one preferred external xhtml editor via
shortcut or icon
(can be used to fast launch PageEdit app or any other xhtml
open-with editor)
- adds 5 more plugin quicklaunch buttons to main menu for
a total of 10 (with all new icons! Thanks so much Becky!)
It also includes all of the fixes and updates from Sigil-0.9.14.
Be aware that Sigil-0.9.15 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.
