Sigil-1.6.0 Released

[KevinH]

Update, I tried it again and it did appear much more random this time. So there does appear to be location information gone missing.

Okay, I have pushed some debug code to master along with a potential fix for the non-proper location syncing when moving from html in CV to css in CV and back.

This will require testing on Windows to make sure I have not broken something there inadvertently (or worse yet brought back the double load problem).

Who is this person submitting bugs?

Hmmm... username seems oddly familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Never heard of this "Text" person though.

[DiapDealer]

I just posted it. I didn't compose it this time.

[KevinH]

Brain fart! I will fix it. I write Text much more than I write "Tex".

Sorry about that!

Just ask BeckyEbook how many times I have massacred her user name!

[KevinH]

Fixed on github releases and fixed here!

Also fixed in the ChangeLog.txt

(At least I was consistent!)

I'd love to hear from those who were experiencing performance issues with the 1.4 and 1.5 series. There were a lot of performance-based changes in 1.6.

Since installing Sigil 1.60 Windows x64, I've had a random error when opening Sigil. The usual popup with Sigil has encountered a problem. Sigil may need to close. Details in the spoiler which oddly ends with The operation completed successfully.

Spoiler:

Error info: Critical: ARB::createContext: wglCreateContextAttribsARB() failed (GL error code: 0x0) for format: QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize 24, redBufferSize -1, greenBufferSize -1, blueBufferSize -1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize 8, samples 0, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::DefaultSwapBehavior, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile  QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile), shared context: 0x30000 (The operation completed successfully.)

That's typically memory and/or video driver related. Have you updated your video driver recently? On Linux, a reboot usually fixes the problem (especially if video drivers have been updated without a reboot). On Windows, I've seen it more rarely. But it's never been consistent (or caused any real issues). It's not new to Sigil 1.6.0 by any means. You've reported it yourself RE the 1.4.3 version (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=14). It's been around intermittently since the switch to QtWebEngine.

I haven't had any video driver updates in close to a year now. As we both mentioned it is not consistent though it does seem to happen more often when I launch Sigil without opening an epub. I mentioned it more since I hadn't seen it when using 1.5 than it actually causing any real issues.

A big thank you for all the hard work, and all the time you spent doing this. Much appreciated.

version 1.6.0 runs very well on my computer (latest windows 10 x64 version with all updates - build 19043.1023). No bugs encountered so far, performance is very good.

[patrik]

Thank you.

Did anything change that would make the "sigil_split_marker" lighter? I know I just turned 58, and have been needing to were reading glasses, but for some reason after installing Sigil 1.6 the "sigil_split_marker" appear to be very light.

I looked thru preferences and couldn't find any where to change the color. that might be something to add, maybe?

Thanks
Brent

[DiapDealer]

No. Nothing we did would have changed that. But the split marker is just a horizontal rule with a special class name. So an ebook's own css would determine how it's displayed in Preview. So no need for a preference setting to adjust the color.

[KevinH]

And it is treated like any other tag in CodeView and highlighted using the exact same colours as it was in Sigil-1.5.1 which do have user preference settings to select them.
