Hi Sara, Sorry to hear that this release causes you so much trouble. To answer your last question first: this release is not intended to have major incompatibilities. Afraid that the reality of a project like zim is that we do not find all issues unless we actually make a new release. There isn't a big group of people testing changes before they are released, and although I try very hard my own testing and the unittest suite do not catch everything.
- headers are now removed at will - removing an image while a page showing it is loaded now generates memory fault and terminates zim (worked great before) - renaming a page from outside while displayed in zim changed behavior to the worse These 3 are new issues for me - you are the first to report them. Will try to reproduce and fix them. - forking to background changed to blocking a terminal window Here zim is now more inline with other applications. This was necessary to remove a lot of issues other users where having with the background spawning. This part of the code is now greatly simplified and *still* giving issues :( - new unremovable "attachments" button wastes room under the text area (compromising my layout optimization) This is a "rough edge" in the design. Side panes now "collapse" instead of "hiding". Keeping the tabs of the side pane visible at all times makes the behavior much more predictable for most users. It costs more real estate, and I'm open for design suggestions how to gain it back - maybe we should combine it with the statusbar for the bottom pane?
