Hi Detlev,

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$


Have I missed something?

Thanks

Mick

Hello Pythonistas,

I just uploaded eric 23.5. It fixes some bugs and adds these new features.

  * 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.

Hi Mick,

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,

I installed that and it runs now. It reports an error when it starts, 
details attached, but it appears to be working OK.


Many thanks
