Qapote v0.6

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 1:55 pm

I published a new version of Qapote which principally fixes some issues and improves usability. There is no big changes in it. Unfortunately, Qt4.6.0 has a bug which make Qapote unusable, use either Qt4.5.x or 4.6.1.

Concerning the futur of Qapote, I have some hesitations: I really tried to improve the font rendering of the generated PDF, but without big success. Even OOo or Word have a better font rendering. I think KOffice has the same problem as me (seems like font hinting issue).

Therefore a possibility is to switch to a docbook backend and generate a PDF with fop. But I don’t really like this due to 3 reasons:

  • It will be hard to do, and long
  • Qapote will depend on a Java software (fop)
  • I will have to use poppler lib to render PDF

But it will fix render quality, and some Qt limitations I have.

So, what have I to do ?

It’s just a small update to fix a very stupid issue: the src tarball wasn’t correct. Some files were missing.

Sorry for this.

Qapote v0.4 released

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 12:24 pm

This new release of Qapote mainly provides a new error system. The previous one was fixed and improved and, moreover, each commands can now set a specific and verbose error. The QLALR parser is also improved, but I found some important bugs, and I think I will need some help to fix them (I’m not an expert with parser/QLALR). So, for the moment, these bugs are still in the 0.4 version.

Otherwise, some improvements and bugfixes. Please see the entire changelog after.
