I really did not expect to be making releases of my programs anytime soon, but things come up. First somebody reported a crash in Tetzle when attaching multiple pieces, then somebody else reported that player names were messed up in the high scores dialogs of my games under Windows, and finally the tool I used to update the Linux desktop integration files is unmaintained and broken so I needed to replace my use of that. Oh, and Whisker Menu did not show up in the right location when using multiple monitors under Wayland. Whew. I think that covers everything! I doubt most users will notice a difference—although packagers will need to add gettext as build dependency—but enjoy the new updates! And now I am going to take a break for a while… I hope. 😉

As has become my habit for January, I made a maintenance release of my programs. For the most part there aren’t any user-visible changes, but I did fix a bug in Simsu (the game was really wide when first launched) and I updated the translations. A few days ago I also made a Whisker Menu release, and that had some bug fixes in it. Enjoy!

I am sorry to say that I no longer support the macOS. The ancient Mac I was using to build my programs has finally died, and I do not intend to buy a new one. This means that I can’t provide prebuilt binaries of my projects. I’m sorry to disappoint the many macOS users of FocusWriter, but there will not be any new official macOS downloads on my website.

However, my software is open source, and users can continue to build their own binaries if they wish. Additionally, if users want to get my projects into something like MacPorts, I am happy to merge patches necessary for that.

I was planning on following the new format for the release announcements, but since almost every single app has the same changes, it would be quite repetitive. I updated basically every single program to have better installers on Windows and the Mac, and fixed the compile process to not have extra warnings during release builds.

The important thing is that I updated to Qt 5.11, and this means that FocusWriter should be able to save to Dropbox! I say should because the bug report is closed as fixed, but I don’t use Dropbox so I can’t test for myself. Enjoy!
