you need to install the 'libxcb-cursor0' system package using your package manager. I think, Qt 6.5.0 introduced this additional dependency. Note to all: This or something similar might be necessary on ther Linux systems as well.

Hi Detlev,





Have I missed something?

Thanks

Mick

I just installed the new release on Mint using the script on the web page but it won't start. This is what I see in a terminal mick@DeskMint21:~/eric_env/bin$ ./eric7_ide qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: vkkhrdisplay, linuxfb, minimalegl, offscreen, wayland-egl, vnc, wayland, minimal, eglfs, xcb. Aborted (core dumped) mick@DeskMint21:~/eric_env/bin$

Hello Pythonistas,



  * JavaScript Support
      o Removed JavaScript functionality depending on the `jasy`
        package because it has not been maintained for years.
  * MicroPython
      o Added support for STLink based devices.
      o Added the capability to select the device path manually in
        case it could not be detected (e.g. because the device does
        not have a volume name).
      o Added the capability to install the `mpy-cross` compiler from
        the MicroPython page of the configuration dialog.
      o Added a package installer for devices lacking network
        connectivity and the `mip` package manager.
  * Plugin Repository
      o Added the capability to enforce the download of plugin
        packages using the `http://` protocol (in case of
        missing/non-functional system `SSL` libraries).
  * Translator
      o Added support for the LibreTranslate translator (see
        https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate).
  * Web Browser
      o Added the capability to enforce the download of spell check
        dictionaries using the `http://` protocol (in case of
        missing/non-functional system `SSL` libraries).

It is available via the eric web site or PyPI.

I just uploaded eric 23.5. It fixes some bugs and adds these new features. https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/index.html <https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/index.html>
