Sigil-2.4.2

Sigil version 2.4.2 is primarily a bugfix release with one new feature. It fixes a number of issues related to Python 3.13+ use. Also note that the Microsoft VC++ runtime redistributable is no longer being bundled in the Sigil Windows installer starting with version 2.3.1. This should already be installed on any Windows PC that Sigil is supported on.

New Features

Added new tool: 'Update OPF Manifest Media Types' to set unrecognized media types based on actual file contents

Bug Fixes

ensure CodeView code highlighting colors coincide with dark/light themes on certain Linux DEs
fix sigil-gumbo gumboc to work with Python 3.13+ - ie. work around backwards incompatible changes in ctypes
fix Replacement Chooser table to allow for multiple line row heights in Before and After fields (regression)
prevent too many warnings when no media types provided in OPF by generating the warning collectively
prevent build warnings by using hunspell's std:string interface (not C char * ones)
fix files in third party code that used latin-1 encoding to now use utf-8
fix old use of 'python' in python code header lines to always use 'python3'
removed user scope installs from winget util they work properly with dependencies
restore Find&Replace if it was open when the user tries to exit Sigil and then aborts the exit
