Sigil 0.5.3 is now available for download. This is a maintenance release and does not include any new features. Just bug fixes.

Thanks. I see you have now 64bit versions of Linux, so I gather you got a new build machine :-)

Excellent, I've been waffling between 0.5.1 and 0.5.2 to get all the features I needed (and editing images in the hard way when that didn't work).

Thanks for putting in the time to improve the software I use so much!

Not quite. I bought VMWare Fusion and an external USB hard drive. I'm running Linux in a VM off of the external drive on my Macbook Air. Only takes 40ish minutes to make a package this way but $130 sounded a bit better than the cost of buying a new computer. Especially when the machine would only be used for building packages.

So far so good, except a strange thing with non-breaking spaces... Sometimes they don't seem taken into account by the book viewer. See this screenshot, on the first line there is a non-breaking space between 'fenêtres' and '»' — as shown in the code, last line of the screenshot —, but it's not working.

No biggie though as I guess it will work as usual on other reading devices.

I don't see any mistake on my side on that one, but I could be wrong (too long day).

Thanks again for the good work,

Michael

I was glad to get F&R back for All Files but have had some unexplained crashes which haven't followed a pattern. Once while doing a find for all files on a term that wasn't in the files anywhere and once while looking for the About Sigil info. The About Sigil menu item didn't appear on the Sigil main menu but did appear after restarting the program. I may delete all the files and reinstall. Using Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Hm, it seems as though I get crashes when I try to search for something in the stylesheet with "All HTML files" selected and the stylesheet has focus. Trying the same search while I'm working in something other than the stylesheet just returns 'no matches.'

(Searching "current file only" in the stylesheet works fine.)

This seems to work ok for me on Ubuntu 11.10. Could you provide details on what you are doing.
e.g. Ubuntu 11.10, open an epub (I'm using one with a couple large files, but if you have an epub that fails can you provide a copy?), open Find&Replace, set Normal, All HTML Files, Down, open a stylesheet, close other tabs, enter "the" or any word in the book, click in stylesheet, type Ctrl-G to find next. This works ok. If I enter "anywordnotfoundinthebook" and do the find, I just get no matches as expected.

mmat1 · 02-26-2012, 09:14 AM

I got some Text withing the EPUB as follows:

Code:

<i>[Some Footnote]</i>

I'm going to replace the tags:

Code:

Search: <i>(\[.*?\])</i>
Replace: <span class="footnote">\1</span>
Regex.dotall, All Html-Files

There are about 100 positions to be changed in the EPUB. I used a step by step replace. Far too late i discovered, that sometimes the replacement is just "<span class="footnote">\1</span>". (\1 is not replaced with the contents of the group.)

After all i counted and found 30 occourrences, where the reference to the group was not resolved.

This will only happen in a "step by step" s/r, not with "replace all"

I can confirm the problem from Rand Brittain.
If you start a search inside the stylesheet and there is no hit anywhere, the program will terminate. I'm using Windows 7 64bit.

Being one of these linux 64bit users, i appreciate it

I can also confirm this bug (Sigil 0.5.3 using Windows XP SP3). FWIW, Sigil 0.5.1 and 0.5.2 did not crash under these same circumstances.

Ok, I can duplicate this on Windows, but not on Ubuntu.

But just to be clear - this is only an issue if you are on a stylesheet (and possibly any non-html tab) and do a search on All HTML files (which obviously doesn't include the stylesheet anyway, although I can see why it would be a common search). If you are on an html tab and do the all html search, it should work. And it seems to be fine if you are on a non-html tab and the search is found.
