Sigil 2.8.6

Sigil 2.8.6 is a bugfix release.

Sigil 2.8.5 has a bug that can cause damage to the EPUB's opf file if you try to change the cover image. It is recommended that you update to 2.8.6 to avoid this issue.

Bug Fixes

fix incorrect Aria Clips icon in the Fluent Theme (Thankyou BeckyEbook)
fix bug in python plugin wrapper.py that caused application/javascript and application/pls+xml files to be returned as bytes (utf-8) instead of normal python strings (Thank you BeckyEbook)
fix bug in PluginRunner and python wrapper.py in handling oebps-page-map+xml and application/vnd.adobe-page-map.xml (Thank you BeckyEbook)
remove duplicate entry for Recording Engineer in MarcRelators list (Thank you BeckyEbook)
fix endnote backlink in Aria Clips and remove deprecated epub:type endnote use (Thank you BeckyEbook)
fix bug in epub3 when updating or changing the cover image that can cause OPF manifest entry damage (Thank you ABeater)

--------------------------------Notes -----------------------------------

The Sigil Linux AppImage is built on Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) and is targeting glibc 2.35 and higher. Use ldd --version to see if your system at least has a shot at being able to use the AppImage. Don't forget to make sure the AppImage is executable after downloading. Trouble is not expected but be safe and backup your existing Sigil preferences (if you have any) before trying the AppImage.

The latest version of the Sigil User Guide can always be downloaded from the Sigil website, or from its own GitHub repository.

Please check the Sigil website for important Sigil support links, additional resource downloads, and platform-specific trouble-shooting tips/requirements.

The MacOS builds are signed AND notarized.

PGP Fingerprint (for signed tags and source archives): `B5A5 6206 AB0F BC1A 24EF AB8A A166 D29A 8FCD AC63`

All Sigil binary (and source) downloads can also be found as assets at the bottom of The Sigil-2.8.6 Github Release page.

I'd just converted an epub2 to epub3. When I went to open the epub3 version I got the advisory about 2.8.6 being available.

It's now running via the AppImage on my linux box and so far all's good.
