Sigil 2.8.1 Update Brings Bug Fixes for AddExisting, TOC Writer, and macOS Tahoe

Sigil 2.8.1 is a bug-fix update for anyone building or editing EPUB ebooks with this free, open-source WYSIWYG editor.

What's New in Version 2.8.1

This release is entirely fixes, no new features:

• Fixed multiple bugs in AddExisting that could occasionally add duplicate image entries or skip some XHTML imports
• Fixed a bug where alt-image URLs on math tags weren't properly updated when files were moved or renamed
• Prevented a crash in the Python replace function when handling regex expressions that PCRE2 recognizes but Python's re module can't
• Fixed a bug re-opening BBEdit.app on macOS via "Open With" when BBEdit was already running
• Launching PageEdit on macOS via the Preferred XEditor now always spawns a new copy of the PageApp
• Fixed newlines occasionally being added to CSS files, which threw off sync-to-style
• Fixed Mend and Prettify not working in Code View after a resource name change
• Fixed a dropped newline in the TOC HTML writer that misaligned the Preview pane
• Added workarounds for macOS Tahoe bugs that prevented modal native dialogs from working
• Fixed the busy cursor not clearing during "Create an HTML TOC" import requests
