1.6.0 contains several new features, including new Illustration and Sidenote Fixup tools to assist with checking and moving these to their correct positions in the file, a Convert DP Diacriticals tool to automatically convert DP diacritical markup to the correctly marked up character, several user interface improvements, and the latest versions of ebookmaker and the validators.

All bugs reported by 24th July 2023 have also been fixed.

Users who have already utilized the Copy Settings From A Release and header_user.txt features should not need to manually copy across files or settings when upgrading to 1.6.0. If upgrading from a pre-1.5 release and you want to take advantage of these features to ease future upgrades, see the 1.5.0 release notes, the manual, or this forum post for more details.

For details of significant changes and bug fixes between releases, view CHANGELOG.md included with the release, or the more detailed Changelog on the Distributed Proofreaders wiki, which also has links to the relevant sections of the Guiguts Manual.

Changes

  • Removed Convert Windows CP1252 Characters menu option
  • Removed several buttons from the Txt menu, such as Convert Italics, etc.
    These were duplicates of buttons in the Txt Conversion Palette
  • Removed Find Some Orphaned Markup button from HTML Markup dialog. This is
    superceded by Unmatched HTML Tag Check
  • Use the "Buttons and labels" font for the text in the toolbar
  • Block wrap margin markup can include spaces, e.g. /#[12.4, 50]
  • Useful X11 Preferences documented for Mac users
  • Page separator lines from gImageReader OCR files are now recognised when the
    file is loaded
  • /r[nn] can be used to set a specific right margin for right-alignment
  • New Convert DP Diacriticals option converts DP markup, e.g. [a.], to
    Unicode character(s). Characters are normalized if possible, or if not, the
    relevant combining character is used. Converts selection or whole file.
  • HTML autogeneration uses   instead of   for non-breaking spaces
  • If some text is selected, popping the QuickSearch dialog puts the selected
    text into the search field
  • QuickSearch now has a Count ("#") button
  • New Illustration Fixup assists with moving illos to paragraph breaks. Use
    Ctrl-click on report to move illo down, Shift-Ctrl-click to move illo up.
    Shift-Ctrl-f jumps cursor between original and new illo positions.
  • New manual Sidenote Fixup assists with moving sidenotes to paragraph breaks,
    in the same way as Illustration Fixup
  • "Display Character Names" setting (Preferences->Toolbar menu) for the
    Dec/Hex ordinal label in the status bar is now stored in settings.rc
  • The ppvimage tool now allows .svg image files
  • Included latest version of ebookmaker (0.12.33)
  • Included latest versions of VNU Validator (23.4.11), CSS Validator (20220105)
    and Epubcheck (5.0.1)
  • Mac installation instructions improved

Bug Fixes

  • Spell Query, Word Frequency and Search/Replace did not consider combining
    characters to be part of a word, so failed to find or search for whole words
    correctly if they contained combining characters
  • Check for Updates had stopped working due to a change in the Github page
  • Several Search Menu options did not return focus to the main window when the
    menu was used as a tear-off
  • Converting footnote numbers to Letter form failed if there were more than
    676 footnotes
  • Non-ASCII author name, or non-breaking space between initials, was not
    saved correctly in the .bin file
  • Some < or > symbols in a text file were not converted to HTML entities
    during autogeneration
  • Paragraphs marked for right-alignment would never be moved left to align,
    even when there was space to do so
  • Some footnote anchors, e.g. at start of line, would get moved when their
    footnotes were moved to the landing zones
  • Badly formed sidenotes could generate a bad index error
  • Word Frequency Character Count gave an error if file contained no spaces
  • Errors occurred if a Spell Query language dictionary was Latin-1 encoded,
    rather than Unicode
  • When a new file was loaded after a previous LOTE file, the language was not
    set back to English by default for the new file
  • When QuickSearch dialog was popped, the current selection was not cleared,
    meaning the first search could fail
  • The column count (ruler) would give errors if used with lines over 190
    characters long
  • Some Word Frequency operations silently saved the file, even when autosave
    options were disabled
  • pphtml reported unused or undefined CSS warnings wrongly if layout was not
    as expected, or if first-letter was used
  • ppvimage reported .png covers as errors
  • index rewrapping in text version added a blank line at the end
  • Search/Replace over a selected range stopped part-way through the range if
    the replacement string inserted a new line
  • Long HTML lines were created from page links in index - now wrapped
  • Attempting to re-run a SpellCheck/Query while loading a goodwords file
    could cause errors
  • Ctrl/Shift-clicking an error in the Error Check window could cause the bell
    to ring even if bell was disabled in Preferences
  • Trailing spaces were stripped from lines of HTML during file save/load
  • HTML conversion of single character italic superscripts was invalid
  • Multi-line auto-lists moved all the page markers within the list to the top
  • A page marker on closing blockquote markup led to the markup being indented
  • Page markers at the start of a line could affect the indent of /* blocks
