Beta builds of Todays's Sigil master with all new features so far

Hi All,

I had a free moment and got the github CI builds made and deployed and uploaded them to one of my personal githup repository release here:

https://github.com/kevinhendricks/Bu...nMac/releases/

See:

Sigil-Beta-Mac-arm64.tar.xz
Sigil-Beta-Mac-x86_64.tar.xz
Sigil-Beta-Windows-x64-Setup.exe

Note: These are github Continuous Improvement builds for testers. They are *NOT* signed or notarized.

These builds include major changes including Qt 6.8.2, Python 3.13.2, and has experimental builds of all of the bug fixes to this point and new features we have added so far including the experimental Python Function Replace.

So all testers welcome. Any feedback or questions about the new features should be directed to this thread.

FWIW, we are still quite a ways from any new release. As there are still more new features being planned including a potential tool to standardize the file extensions (that can be used under Automate too), and a second potential tool to update all old MediaTypes to be the ones recommended under the latest epub 3.3 spec. A new version of the PCRE2 library is still coming as well.

Any and all feedback welcomed.

Thanks
