Now that I am switching to release branches I am finally going to also tackle something that has always bothered me but I’ve never taken the time to solve: the development source code has the same version number as the most recent release. I have always wanted it to be some sort of automated number, [ READ MORE ]
I just made a bugfix release of Kapow, version 1.3.5, that fixes some minor bugs as well as a potentially serious data loss bug: it was not fully checking to make sure that it could actually read or write its data file. I have thankfully only heard of a single user that this bug may [ READ MORE ]
I just released Tetzle 2.0.1, a small bugfix release. Primarily this release fixes a crash for users with older OpenGL hardware, as well as a few other minor bugs. Thanks go to Markus Enzenberger for a German translation, and Artem Krosheninnikov for a Russian translation. Enjoy![ READ MORE ]
Yesterday I added the single most requested feature to FocusWriter: users can now set the line spacing per theme (and paragraph spacing, and indent the first line of each paragraph). However, there is one caveat: because I couldn’t find any way to override or merge QTextBlockFormats without modifying documents users will need to reload their [ READ MORE ]
I should have announced this sooner, but better late than never I suppose. I will no longer be creating new PowerPC builds of my programs. There are many reasons, but the biggest two are that my iBook G3 finally gave up the ghost, and that Qt has dropped support for PowerPC. I know that this [ READ MORE ]
When I was first adding spell-checking to FocusWriter I tried using enchant, but I had some problems that stopped me. The biggest was that I couldn’t get it working on the Mac. I also couldn’t figure out how to support user installed dictionaries. Because of those issues I decided to instead use hunspell. Over time [ READ MORE ]
I have added back the GitHub issues for my projects hosted there. I had taken them down because I was working on my own bug database that would have been tailored to my own liking, and then I was going bring over the already reported issues on GitHub. Unfortunately, I never got further than the [ READ MORE ]
A bug was reported in Tetzle, and the reporter helpfully tracked down why it was happening but was not sure what the purpose of the offending code was. I took a look at the code and said, “Beats the hell outta me!” I’m lazy, so of course it was not commented. I traced it through [ READ MORE ]
I’ve made a new release of FocusWriter, version 1.3.5.1, primarily to fix a data loss bug. The bug occurred when opening a file created by other RTF word processors that used multi-byte hex values, which FocusWriter did not handle properly. Also in this release is a Dutch translation, thanks to Robert Borst. Enjoy![ READ MORE ]
I have made a small release of FocusWriter, version 1.3.5. I am working on some of my other projects at the moment, but I was made aware that paragraph alignment was being lost for awhile now. I decided to make a release after fixing it and without much else changed as I view any data [ READ MORE ]
