This is an important maintenance update, strongly recommended for all users of version 8!
Data Loss with Topic Status Change
Version 8.0.2 fixes a bug related to topic-status changes that can cause data loss: if the topic status was changed for multiple topics at once, those topics that have been edited before (and were yet not saved) lost their content.
This bug also triggered a problem with the table of contents, a warning appeared that the table of contents could not be stored.
Please, download and install v8.0.2 over your existing installation of Help+Manual 8.
New Features and bug fixes
- eWriter eBooks: several small fixes to the eBook viewer – initial browser zoom on high-dpi monitors, viewer app button was sometimes too large, app button color highlight did not always revert to normal.
- Images in nested tables: were displayed at the wrong size if editor zoom was > 100% and the user switched between editing the outer topic and the first table. This bug was a cosmetic issue only.
- Publishing tasks: after publishing a task, the click to show the compiler log created an error. Wrong caption in publishing tasks dialog (Delete selected item was named Add Task Action).
- Image toggles inside table cells, with a fixed image size and without caption, did not scale with Premium Pack skins when the text size changed by the user
- Link lists: when chapters without text and regular topics were mixed in a list, the text-only-chapters did point to the previous topic
- HelpXplain export: umlauts in tooltips of poster image had wrong encoding
- DeepL translation plugin: Japanese and Chinese Simplified are now supported
Update Build 5475 (March 29)
- Design-time comments: when a comment was displayed as an icon only, it could not easily be double-clicked for editing. Double-click editing for icon-only comments has been improved.
- Bug fix for the customize-bullet-list dialog
- Error message “Invalid characters in path” fixed
