Therefore we need to move Sigil and PageEdit closer to the development forefront of the Qt (Qt6.5.2 released last week) to make sure what we release is the most secure it can be on its release day. In addition we simply do not want the potential mental liability of releasing a version of Sigil with known missing or spotty security updates and without critical bug fixed on the very first day of a Sigil release. There are now literally numerous third party efforts to try to keep Qt5.15.x source code more secure and up to date but each are missing bug fixes important to one platform or another and us chasing those down would quickly bring Sigil snd PageEdit development to its knees.

They are also missing full support for newer platforms such as arm64 based Macs.Īll of this was caused by a change in Qt’s policy to delay each of the Qt5.15.x source code releases (afterQt 5.15.3) by 12 months or more leading to critical and security fixes not being applied or even sometimes collected. The released source code for Qt5.15.9 and Qt5.15.10 are now missing quite a number of CVE (critical security) fixes and QtWebEngine/Chrome security fixes.

The reasons for this move are many and were driven primarily by security concerns and the lack of newer platform support in the older Qt versions. Linux distros (and those who compile Sigil and PageEdit themselves) will still be free to choose if Qt5 or Qt6 makes more sense for them. It may not be updated every time a new version of the official Sigil is released. I (Diapson/Doug) will attempt to maintain an unofficial 32-bit legacy installer in my personal Github repositories, but I don’t know how long I will be able keep that up. In addition, there will no longer be an official 32-bit Windows binary installer provided with Sigil releases starting with 2.0. The new minimum supported version for Windows will be Windows 10 (build 1809). If you are using a mac with an earlier version of macOS we strongly encourage you to update to at least Big Sur if possible and up to Ventura if you can to keep getting critical fixes from Apple. Plugins that use a Qt gui will move from PyQt5 to PySide6.Īs a result, the new minimum supported version for macOS will be macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) as earlier macOS versions are no longer getting security updates from Apple. Our upcoming releases (Sigil-2.0 and PageEdit-2.0) will use Qt6.5.2.
