Sigil 0.8.2 Released

I tried to compile it on Linux Mint. The following specs:
- CMake 3.1.0-rc2
- Qt 5.3.2
- gcc/g++ 4.6.3

During the 'make install' I get the following error at 69% (Building CXX object src/Sigil/CMakeFiles/sigil.dir/main.cpp.o):

Code:

Interesting. That was introduced due to the c++11 requirement. You'll probably need to upgrade but I think I can work around it. Though there won't be a new source release. Pull from trunk in about 15 minutes and try.

I get that error on anything less than gcc 4.8 (or there abouts). I just add -fpermissive to the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS on those systems.

I will update my gcc. I just pulled it from the repository. I hate it when the repositories are not updated, especially on basic programs like these. Oh well...

Sorry but we made the move to support c++11 features and older versions of gcc just don't support a lot of them.

No problem. Perhaps the install document should be updated so the minimum releases for these tools are mentioned. Expecting the distributions to update common tools is too much to ask...

I've added a paragraph stating the requirements for C++11 being required and gave a list of minimum compilers versions that are known to work.

Luckily ArchLinux has gcc4.9.2 so it all went beatifully smoothly. Flagged it out of date last night, this morning found a repo update.

Thanks for the update!

:thumbsup: Great, I hope it will help others.

:thumbsup:Thank you. Very good job.

Just downloaded and started using Sigil and like what I see. So much so that I spent the afternoon revising the Sigil User Guide to support 0.8.2 and am wondering where I can upload it to help others?

Basically it was simple things like:
- added reworded changelog revisions since 0.7.2 release. Let me know if some of them are incorrect or imply something different than what the changelog said. Always a challenge to convert programmerize into proper English.
- updated Installation section to reflect minimal OS requirements and download names
- added content for Preserved Entities and Plugins preference panels

That's about it. Keep up the good work.

Upload it here, or submit a pull request at https://github.com/user-none/Sigil/tree/master/docs I would say. :)

Perhaps the docs should be unpacked in the source :chinscratch: for easier editing and stuff.

@user_none, you can even make a gh-pages branch containing the docs and a homepage and stuff. If it isn't too much work.
Could help you totally leave googlecode behind.
