added the possibility to move tools (ruler, compass, etc) using arrow keys.
added a new Latex2SVG application converting Latex formulas to SVG, that you can then drag and drop on the board. Also supports mhchem for chemistry
added CMake support for community-driven Linux builds, thanks to @letsfindaway and @Vekhir.
Improvements
simplified the rules to be authorized to put a new text on the board, when close to another text box.
Improved performances on document loading time, especially for heavy documents, containing a lot of annotations.
changed delete icons' tooltip according to their text
migrated Windows build from xpdf to poppler
improved zLevel consistency and how the users can change it. A simple click on the "Layer Up" and "Layer Down" now simply increments or decrements the zLevel of the targeted object. Long click behavior remains unchanged.
Bug fixes
workaround for an issue related to QTBUG-79216, where dead keys were simply ignored in web widgets. The workaround fixes completely the issue on Linux, but not on macOS. You can workaround the issue by giving focus of an input of the widget and pressing Next page then previous page on the Board toolbar, or by simply reloading the page when possible.
fixed an issue where the mask would preserve aspect ratio when using the bottom right handle to resize it.
fixed an issue where a newly created widget would not be visible until next launch
fixed an issue where removing from board a newly created widget would erase it from library and disk
fixed an issue where drag and dropping an object from a widget to the board would never trigger mouseReleaseEvent, ending with the widget being moved when not intended
fixed an issue where object zLevels would not be correctly set
fixed crashes occurring when using the 'Add' button's functionalities in Documents Mode
fixed a crash occurring when trying to drag and drop an image already on the board
fixed an issue where an image would be copy-pasted at bad off-screen positions on Windows
fixed a crash occuring when directly exiting OpenBoard from Board Mode on heavy documents.
fixed an issue where the scale of a pdf item was not preserved when copying the page to another document, with the help of @letsfindaway
fixed an issue where the eraser was not working when completely inside polygon, thanks to @letsfindaway
fixed incorrect sRGB profile and some files rights, thanks to @letsfindaway
fixed an issue by avoiding access to uninitialized DisplayManager, thanks to @letsfindaway
fixed ruler icons behaviors when zooming, thanks to @Vekhir
fixed windows silent install parameters for vcredist, thanks to @PatricCunhaforWork
Known issues
Some 3rd party widgets may no longer work, as the internal widget API was changed. Please report to the widget author as well as to the OpenBoard team to help updating the widget.
Adding a PDF to the board from the internal browser (right click -> add to board) does not work consistently.
Some use cases remain where you can end up with documents at the same level having the same name.
An issue can occur, that is not clearly identified at this time, when importing an UBX, where users end up with the imported documents appearing multiple times in the documents tree, at the same level.
Linux
In Desktop Mode, Gnome Dock should be set to bottom position to workaround the issue with the OpenBoard left palette not being usable from above it (cf. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-81341 for more details).
Ubuntu 20.04
When Control screen is not the first screen on the left, main menu will not appear where it should. It is due to a Qt bug (cf. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-84462 for more details).
