They are all there. No ftp nonsense, simply click on the asset you want. Nothing has changed in this respect at all.
I was olny finding the last one to download, but then I saw your answer to () and found here.

I'll try both, 1.0.0 simply doesn't open, no matter what I do here. One of these must work I suppose. I had to finish my book with MsWord and Kindle Creator and that's a nightmare.

Thank you for your help.

Yesterday this old version crashed BADLY with the update message and I had to download the new one that simply doesn't open.
GitHub is a nice site for people that is found od coding and such things but it IS a very unfriendlly site for people that usually get programs direct from their sites, specially when english is not their native language like me.
So if you're so worryed on who did I get the installer in the first place, maybe you should worry that I'm probably not the only person having those kind of problems.
Sigil is the best program for editing ebooks, but not all independent authors understand english very well to just find out hidden download links, or go like me looking around and trying to find by clicking and can't get to the download page again.
You could try to be more compreensible with people next time you know.



Anyway, I'll uninstall the new version, clean up my registry, and try older versions to see if it works.
Thank you very much for your help, specially KevinH for the patience.
