1.1.0+dev (Unreleased)

1.1.0

This is a new major version of Xournal++ with many new features, improvements, and bug fixes thanks to over one year's worth of contributions from the community.

  • Breaking changes:
    • Xournal++ now follows the XDG Base Directory Specification (#1101, #1384). The configuration files will now be stored in an appropriate platform-specific user data folder. Old configuration files will be copied automatically if the new user data folder does not exist.
    • For users that have non-default DPI settings, text elements in old documents may be displayed with incorrect sizes/positions. A new plugin is included to fix the positioning of these text elements. See the relevant bug in the "Text tool" section below.
    • The old input system has been removed, which may affect some users.
    • Windows: The installer has been updated, fixing many issues such as: incorrectly set up registry keys, missing uninstaller entry, missing entries in Open With context menu in Explorer, missing icons, etc. (#2606, #2585, #2387, #2141, #2036, #1903, #2666, #3215). When upgrading from 1.0.18, you must not run the uninstaller; instead, run the updated installer, which will clean up files from the old install and fix the registry key entries. If you are downgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.0.18 or older, you must run the uninstaller first.
    • Linux: Support for Ubuntu 16.04 (and older distros) has been dropped. Please use a distro from 2018 or later, such as Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian Buster. The dependency versions have been updated accordingly.
    • Linux: The thumbnailer program has been renamed from xournal-thumbnailer to xournalpp-thumbnailer in order to fix tab completion (#1752).
    • Linux: Xournal++ now has a hard dependency on librsvg. This should not affect end-users, only maintainers and packagers.
    • The code has been updated to use C++17 (#1485) and must now be compiled using a supported compiler version, such as GCC 7 or Clang 5 (or newer).

    • Made line spacing equal in export and on view when pango version >= 1.48.5 is available (#2182)

1.0.15

Attention: Please see the 1.0.14 patch notes before installing this version.

  • Fixed an issue where copying and pasting strokes would crash the program.

1.0.14

Attention: users who installed with make install will need to follow special instructions to update. See the "Breaking change" below.

We now officially support packaging Xournal++ using CMake. This allows users to generate DEB and tar packages. See readme/linux.md for more details.

  • Breaking change: the desktop and icon files were renamed from xournalpp to com.github.xournalpp.xournalpp to be more in line with the AppStream specification. This change should only affect users that install with make install; these users must run make uninstall with a cloned version of Xournal++ 1.0.12 first. We recommend migrating to another installation format, such as Flatpak, AppImage, or tarball. Refer to this issue for more details on how to uninstall if make uninstall is unavailable. Refer to readme/LinuxBuild.md for build instructions.
