Sigil 0.8.0 released September 27, 2014
by John Schember, Sigil & Calibre developer
quote:
I'm pleased to announce the availability of Sigil version 0.8.0! The download location has changed sine the last release. This is because Google Code has stopped providing or allowing new downloads. Existing downloads will eventually be removed from the service completely.

It has been nearly a year since the last release of Sigil. This long delay is due to Sigil having and mainly is a one man operation. I do't have the time I did in the past to work on Sigil so I'm mainly relying on contributions to keep Sigil current. For quite a while no one was willing or able to help. Recently Kevin Hendricks has had time and motivation to contribute and Sigil has progressed quite a bit with his help.

There have been a handful of fixes and minor improvements but that's typical for a new release. This is a major release which means major new features..
See the Release Announcement.

Sigil 0.8.2 Released
November 28, 2014
quote:
This is a small bug fix release that mainly address the plugin framework. A lot of work has been done to enhance and solidify the Python integration. Finally a new validation plugin type was added so a validation plugin can pass validation results to the built in validation pane.

As usual the binary and source is available on GitHub.

Also, I’ve switched to generating SHA256 checksums for the distributed files instead of using MD5.
SIgil 0.8.1 - 10.12.2014
quote:
This is a bug fix release. See the Changelog for a full list of changes.

Also, the source package directory structure has changed a bit. A number of files that were top level have been put into a docs subdirectory. Further, the source zip package is now putting the everything in a Sigil-x.y.z/ subdirectory.
