Bug Fixes

Notes:

The PageEdit 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 PageEdit preferences (if you have any) before trying the AppImage. This is especially important if you're currently using a pre-2.0 version of PageEdit.

The latest PageEdit user guide can always be downloaded from the PageEdit website, or from its own GitHub repository.

PageEdit-2.4.0

PageEdit version 2.4.0 is primarily a maintenance release. Also note that the Microsoft VC++ runtime redistributable is no longer being bundled in the PageEdit Windows installer starting with version 2.3.1. This should already be installed on any Windows PC that PageEdit is supported on.

** A new build of the Windows 2.4.0 installer was uploaded (and the sha256 checksum for it was changed accordingly) since the original release. There was no change to the PageEdit source code whatsoever. It was just rebuilt with an older version of Inno Setup in order to accommodate an incompatibility with Inno 6.4 that some Windows package managers have run into. For regular users, nothing has changed. No need to redownload and reinstall. **
