Sigil-0.9.15

A Beta Release of Sigil ported to QtWebEngine to replace QtWebKit

New Features

• ported to use QtWebEngine (based on Chromium) to replace QtWebkit
• QtWebEngine plugs many major memory leaks. Memory footprint should stay low to moderate.
• QtWebEngine has ongoing security and support patches from Qt/Google/Chromium
• removes the broken/deprecated BookView Editor that relied on QtWebKit
• created PageEdit app (that uses QtWebEngine) that replaces much BookView functionality
  (see https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/PageEdit)
• allows the user to control use of javascript and remote access by epubs when editing
  to improve overall security
• adds action to launch one preferred external xhtml editor via shortcut or icon
  (can be used to fast launch PageEdit app or any other xhtml open-with editor)
• adds 5 more plugin quicklaunch buttons to main menu for a total of 10
  (with all new icons! Thanks so much Becky!)

It also includes all of the fixes and updates from Sigil-0.9.14.

Be aware that Sigil-0.9.15 still enforces the need for epub3 to have and support an NCX so that it generates as backward a compatible epub as possible. This may be relaxed in future releases.
