).Since version 1.4.0, if you are using the portable version of ghostwriter for Windows, please note that you no longer require the translations
folder in your data
folder. The translations
folder has been moved up one folder, so you don't need to have your settings and themes mixed with an application dependency. When moving the contents of your old data
folder to the new one, please delete the old data\translations
folder.
Version 1.5.0 brings various HiDPI improvements. However, SVG icons for the full screen button and the HUD window buttons will look overly large and clipped. Drop shadows on text and buttons will also look somewhat pixelated. This is due to QTBUG-60026, which has been fixed in Qt 5.9. At the time of this release, Qt 5.9 is still in beta. It is recommended for users using Qt versions below 5.9 to use a FHD screen resolution when using ghostwriter.
Version 1.6.0 will no longer compile with Qt 4 due to new features that depend on Qt 5. Please use Qt 5 when building ghostwriter from the source code. Also, the Windows editions of version 1.6.0 come bundled with Qt 5.10.1. As such, you might enjoy using FreeType font rendering with ghostwriter, which looks superb under this Qt version. Please see the wiki page for a quick guide on how to enable this feature. Moreover, this version removes print support from the HTML live preview, as future versions of ghostwriter will switch from QtWebKit to QtWebEngine, which does not support printing. Finally, the Windows version of 1.6.0 comes bundled with annulen's QtWebKit for displaying the HTML preview. Special thanks goes out to this hard-working team for providing a QtWebKit build for newer Qt versions!
