This release represents a mix of bug fixes and new features. Key points are the upgrade to Qt6.5.2 and Python 3.11.3 and the change to PySide6 instead of PyQt5/6 availability for plugins (see here for more details). We will also no longer be providing an official Windows 32-bit binary installer (legacy or otherwise). The update to Qt6.5.2 makes Windows 10 (1809) the minimum supported OS for the official version of Sigil starting with Sigil 2.0.0. Similarly, it makes the minimum supported MacOS version as 11.0 (Big Sur).

This release represents a mix of bug fixes and new features:
Attention Linux Packagers: Starting with Sigil v1.9.20, MathJax 3.2.2+ is required to render MathML in Sigil's Preview Window. If you do nothing different with your Sigil builds, our custom bundled version of MathJax 3.x will be included and things will work. If you wish to use your system version of MathJax v3, make sure 1) Your version of MathJax is at least 3.2.2, and b) use the new CMake define -DMATHJAX3_DIR=
to supply the path to your MathJax 3.2.2+ location. If you were using -DMATHJAX_DIR=
to build/package Sigil in the past, it will do nothing with Sigil 1.9.20+. We did this on purpose so that no breakage of Sigil's MathML rendering would occur. Check Sigil's build documentation for details.
For additional information about the new tools added to Sigil's Find and Replace see this thread in our Forum on Mobileread.com:

The only installer that's appropriate for Windows 7 is the installer with "Legacy" in the name.

WARNING: this release is not working on Windows 7. This was not a conscious decision and options are being considered. In the meantime, Windows 7 users should stick with version 1.8.0 of Sigil
In addition to several performance enhancements, Sigil-1.9.0 represents a mix of bug fixes and new features. Though this official release is still Qt5 for the Windows and MacOS packages, we've made it possible to build Sigil with Qt6 and will be officially moving to Qt6 in a near-future release. Note that PySide6 will be the new Qt-for-Python of choice for plugins when official Qt6 versions of Sigil are released. We have a plan to make sure the transition of plugins currently using PyQt5 to support both PyQt5 and PySide6 as painless as possible. Stay tuned.

Sigil-1.5.1 represents a mix of bug fixes and new features for both epub2 and epub3 users.
Due to discovering that MathML rendering in Sigil was broken on Windows, new Windows installers were uploaded to this release. If you downloaded Sigil 1.5.1 for Windows before April 1, 2021, you should download the installer again to get the fix (please use the posted--and updated--checksum file to ensure you have the official version). It was literally a two-line change to one file to fix the issue (on Windows only), so a new release was deemed unnecessary. I'm also posting the patch that can be applied to the original Sigil 1.5.1 source for any who may wish to build their own. Again: this only applies to MathML rendering on the Windows platform. If you don't use MathML, or are not on the Windows platform, feel free to continue to use the version of Sigil you have installed. Sorry for any inconvenience

Sigil-1.5.0 Beta represents a mix of bug fixes and new features for both epub2 and epub3 users.
Due to large internal changes in the Sigil codebase, this release should be considered Beta (non-production) ready.
This build of Sigil has passed all of our primary tests and appears to be stable but the feature set of Sigil has grown so large that no single person uses it the same way nor exercises all of the code.
So we need your help to track down any remaining issues, especially related to the new features and workings made to Code View, the Metadata Editor, and our new CSS parser being used to identify unused CSS Selectors.
