New in PDF Stitcher 0.8.1 (Mar 1, 2023)
- This release addresses some useability issues related to bug reporting, particularly the experimental PDF mangling
New in PDF Stitcher 0.8 (Feb 25, 2023)
- New features:
- The biggest new thing is a menu item for bug reports. Go to Help -> Report a Bug, and it will gather a bunch of information about your system. Edit this field to describe the problem, then copy and paste into either a GitHub issue (preferred, but requires a GitHub account), or an email to [email protected].
- The bug report dialog also has a button to create a "mangled" version of your input document - this anonymizes and scrambles the contents of the PDF and so that the intellectual property is lost, but the structure is retained. Clicking the "Mangle PDF" button will create a new document on your desktop with a gibberish hash name like 1asdfl3289sd8323kd8.pdf. Attach this PDF to your bug report issue or email and it will allow me to replicate the issue a lot easier!
- PDFStitcher also now checks the PDF permissions and displays a message to the user that this should be used for personal use only.
- Bug fixes:
- Translations:
- flatpak and pypi version now have translation files included
- Language choice no longer depends on country code (e.g. Canadian French should correctly be detected as French) (#163)
- If Slovak detected, language falls back to Czech instead of English (#120)
- If language errors occur, they're now displayed in the log panel
- User interface:
- layer list changed to a neutral grey for compatibility with dark mode
- selecting centimetres now works (#164)
- update checks no longer happen in flatpak environment
- version comparisons should be more robust (to things like beta!)
- Compatibility:
- Native version for M1/M2 macOS processors now available (thanks to a self-hosted mac mini action runner!). If you have a mac from fall 2020 or later, it's probably got the Apple Silicon chip and you should download the "ARM64.dmg" version. If you have a mac with an Intel chip, download the "X64.dmg" version.
- Python version rolled back to v3.8, should work on Windows 7 again (64-bit), but I haven't been able to test this.
New in PDF Stitcher 0.8 Beta 2 (Feb 17, 2023)
- In beta v1 I wasn't including some files in the Windows/mac builds, use this one instead!
