New in Xournal++ 1.1.0 (Jul 19, 2021)

  • Breaking changes:
  • Xournal++ now follows the XDG Base Directory Specification (#1101, #1384). The configuration files will now be stored in an appropriate platform-specific user data folder. Old configuration files will be copied automatically if the new user data folder does not exist.
  • For users that have non-default DPI settings, text elements in old documents may be displayed with incorrect sizes/positions. A new plugin is included to fix the positioning of these text elements. See the relevant bug in the "Text tool" section below.
  • The old input system has been removed, which may affect some users.
  • Windows: The installer has been updated, fixing many issues such as: incorrectly set up registry keys, missing uninstaller entry, missing entries in Open With context menu in Explorer, missing icons, etc. (#2606, #2585, #2387, #2141, #2036, #1903, #2666, #3215). When upgrading from 1.0.18, you must not run the uninstaller; instead, run the updated installer, which will clean up files from the old install and fix the registry key entries. If you are downgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.0.18 or older, you must run the uninstaller first.

  • Linux: The thumbnailer program has been renamed from xournal-thumbnailer to xournalpp-thumbnailer in order to fix tab completion (#1752).
  • Linux: Xournal++ now has a hard dependency on librsvg. This should not affect end-users, only maintainers and packagers.
