Sigil averages releases 3 to 4 times a year, typically once enough bug fixes or new features are amassed to make a new release worthwhile. Our last release was made October 26 of 2023.

In this case, we are waiting for an update to the Qt software package to version 6.6.2 which has a lot of bug fixes for users with Accessibility needs (especially on macOS platforms). Once that is released, hopefully any day now, we will test it and if no serious issues, integrate it into our Sigil builds. A full Sigil release should follow that soon after.

If you need a fixed build before that and you are using macOS or Windows, we can make a pre-release CI build available for you to use with that bug fixed but with the older Qt version we are currently using. Just let me know your platform if manually working around the bug is an issue.

Users on Linux are encouraged to build their own from source anytime as we try to keep master buildable at all times. Building from source on Windows and macOS is done by some epub devs here as well. If you want help in building from source we can try to help there as well.
