uChmViewer v8.4

• Added Polish translation imported from https://github.com/artww/kchmviewer .
• Fixed a bug causing false detection of an external link and displaying the "Open link in external program" dialog box. This was happening when clicking on the link together with the Ctrl/Shift key or when activating the context menu item "Open in new/background tab".

Attention Windows users

It is recommended to uninstall the old version of the program before installing the update.

The uchmviewer-webkit-*_windows_*.zip archives contain a portable version of the application that does not require installation. Simply unpack the archive to a suitable location and run the program in the bin folder.

uChmViewer v8.2-rc

The release adds support for KDE Framework 5 instead of KDE4 and initial support for Qt6 instead of Qt4.

• Fork renamed to uChmViewer. Also removed the code checking for updates.
• Ended support for Qt4 and KDE4 on the master branch. Qt4 specific code has been removed.
• Added support for the KDE Framework 5 with KDELibs4Support.
• Added limited support for Qt6. The application is built with Qt6.2, but had to disable printing and rely on default settings when browsing pages.
• Added USE_DBUS option to the CMake build script. The option allows you to enable/disable building with D-Bus on any platform where this technology is available. Previously, building with D-Bus was supported only on Linux.

uChmViewer v8.1-rc2

This release is dedicated to the translation of the UI. Initially, translation worked only in an application which was built with KDE support.

• Added KDE-independent UI translation support using GNU Gettext. QT and KDE dialogs and messages are also translated if appropriate files are available.
• Updated translation into Russian.
• The build script has been updated to better support application installation on Windows and macOS.
• Fixed a bug in showing pages of some EPUB files. EPUB files contain XML, but the app treated them as HTML. And if XML contains self-closing title tag, then browser was considered it as invalid HTML and did not show content.
• Fixed a bug in a file filter for the Open File dialog box in KDE. Due to an error in the filter description, the Open File dialog shows only CHM files. Now, the dialog has three display options:
  • All supported books
  • CHM only
  • EPUB only
• Fixed a bug of parsing command line arguments with non-Latin characters, occurring in KDE.
• Fixed build failure at src/qtwebkit/viewwindowmgr.cpp
