- 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.
- Changes from 0.9.14

(or any entities at all!)

CodeView
- dropping epubs on Sigil.app no longer opens an extra empty
epub on macOS

flicker and lower memory use

Update to most recent version. Problem with this is, that it requires QT5. To make it work, links to the QT packages are required. See my home, where all required packages are (linking to KDE:Qt51).
Even for Factory QT5.1 is not default yet, but it is more than a half years now, that I could not do updates, so I propose to create the links and add Qt5 to Documentation:Tools. The 5.1 packages should work fine together with 4.0 (unlikely the 5.0 ones previously), so I don't expect conflicts anymore.
