Valloric · 03-02-2010, 12:56 PM

It's here!

The first beta of Sigil 0.2.0 has been released. This will be the official beta thread, and it will be updated as new beta releases come out.

More details in this blog post. Please keep the discussion on the betas in this thread.

Man am I glad I finally got this out of the door...

Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this morning lots of mails from issues I have starred saying they have been marked as fixed in 0.2.0beta. Been hitting F5 constantly since..................

Off to test this....

Thanks for all your hard work.

Edit:
I haven't used it much yet, but this baby is FAST!

Edit2:
A few niggles:
Deleting a file takes me to the top in the book browser, which is a bit of a pain, if you have a long list of files.
Can't change file extensions from within the browser. Mostly I'm thinking of changing between xtml (which Sigil uses) htm and html.

WOW. Looks great and very speedy. Must go and experiment.

First peek, apostrophes (') and quotes (") are getting rendered as (â)

Is this just me?

Thanks for the beta,

can't run it though: when running from the commandl line via "sigil" I get

Code:

sigil: symbol lookup error: sigil: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData7detach3Ev

When running from /opt/sigil/sigil via command line, I get the same error as the next user here

Code:

/opt/sigil/sigil: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv

I'm on Ubuntu Karmic 32-bit, had deleted the /opt/sigil and ~/.Sigil folders before installation.

I have the faint feeling I had this problem with 0.1.6 already, but can't find the thread right now.

iandix · 03-02-2010, 02:31 PM

I'm on Ubuntu Karmic 32 bit as well and I get the error

/opt/sigil/sigil: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv

Valloric · 03-02-2010, 03:19 PM

The errors are telling you that the Qt libraries that are available on the PATH do not match the ones Sigil needs.

On Linux, you cannot run the "sigil" executable directly. You need to run "sigil.sh". That sets up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and starts Sigil. All of this is done so the Qt libs the installer places in the /opt/sigil dir are picked up during load.

The desktop and the start menu shortcuts call this shell script for you, use those.

This all pertains to Sigil installed from the provided binary installers. If you compiled the source yourself, you can just call "sigil" since you need >Qt 4.6.0 on the PATH just to compile the sources.

This behavior is nothing new and has been present in several previous versions of Sigil.

This is probably an encoding issue with the content you loaded. If you create an issue and attach the file, I can tell you exactly what the problem is.

Yes, I've noticed it. It is annoying. The Book Browser needs to refresh after you make a change to a file, but it should at least scroll down to where you were.

Add it to the tracker.

Why do you want to do that? It doesn't matter what the extension is for HTML files, what determines the "type" of HTML/XHTML is the declaration in the file. And your Reading System doesn't care, since it loads content based on the MIME type specified in the OPF.

What Sigil is trying to prevent is a user renaming an XHTML file to, say, JPEG. That would screw things up internally.

But what I could do is implement a "whitelist", where you could go from "xhtml" <-> "html" <-> "htm" etc. Same thing for "jpeg" <-> "jpg".

Add it to the tracker.

Thanks. Will 0.2.0 install over the top of 0.1.9 or should you uninstall it first?

If you install a new version of Sigil to a different folder than the previously installed one, then the two can safely coexist.

If you install to the same path, the original installation is overwritten. InstallJammer takes care of that, and there are no problems in 99.9999% of such overwriting installations. But then there's that 0.0001%...

Personally, I overwrite it and I've never had a problem. And no one has ever reported a problem caused by such an installation.

Using the menu and desktop links doesn't open Sigil at all, using /opt/sigil$ ./sigil.sh on the command line results in

Code:

/opt/sigil/./sigil: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv

So the shell file doesn't load the needed Qt libs? What now? Sorry if the question should be quite dense.

Hm... the question is not dense, what you did should work.

Run these commands and report back:

Code:

cd /opt/sigil
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
./sigil
