Just a small suggestion to make Sigil seem a little more friendly to Linux users.

[Context: I’m still using DiapDealer’s 0.8.6 version & thinking about building 0.9.3]

At the moment the release notes make a point of suggesting you get binaries from Github, but when you follow the link there are, of course, no binaries for Linux. It would help if there was a link to https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil...dingOnLinux.md somewhere along the way as it takes a bit of hunting to find it.

Of course, it would be much better if there was a .deb or a repo, but that would require work (!), so in the meantime just a little mention of Linux would be good.
