New in Sigil Portable 0.8.0 (Oct 22, 2014)

  • Plugins support is a revision one at this point. We have plans to expand it out in the future. The system is designed to be flexible and allow for a lot of new features. Plugins are standalone and don’t hook directly into Sigil in term of UI changes. They’re mainly for advanced processing at this point.
  • Currently Python 2 and 3 are the only supported languages for Plugins. The system is designed to be able to add other languages in the future quite easily. The decision to focus on Python for this release is due to the amount of existing Python code for ebook manipulation that is currently available.
  • Sigil does not currently bundle Python but relies on Python being installed (this could change in the future). In preferences you’ll need to specify the Python executable location. If you’re on OS X it’s already installed with the OS and you just need to use the auto button to have it auto detected. Linux can also use the auto button. Most likely it’s already installed if you use Linux. For Windows user’s you’ll want to install something like Active State’s ActivePython (community edition is free).
  • Again, plugins are standalone. What happens is Sigil will call the interpreter (Python in this case) with an internal launcher script as the target. A few bits of info along with the target plugin are passed to the launcher which manages running the plugin. This allows for some really cool stuff like separation of plugins from Sigil’s internals and easy recovery if a plugin crashes.
