[Ipe-announce] Ipe 7.2.21 is out

[Otfried Cheong]

Ipe 7.2.21 is now available in source form, as a Windows binary, as a
MacOS app, and as Linux packages on the Ipe homepage at
http://ipe.otfried.org.

This is a bug fix release, there are very few new features.   Most significantly, it fixes a race condition that could cause Ipe to hang during Latex compilation on Windows.

Note for macOS users:  I currently have no access to recent Apple hardware, so the 7.2.21 binaries were compiled on an 11-year old Macbook Pro on Yosemite.   Therefore, the touch bar will not work in those binaries.  Stick with 7.2.20 or compile Ipe yourself if you need this.   Hopefully the hardware issue will be resolved by the next release.

Enjoy,
  Otfried

Ipe 7.2.21 (2020-10-26)

 * Fix hanging with message "Running Latex" on Windows (bug #338).

 * Ability to hide the properties panel/layer list from the UI on
   macOS, for use on Zoom etc (#350).
 
 * Remove NoFocus policy from selectors in Qt.  This used to be
   necessary to keep shortcuts working when the selector receives
   focus, but that's no longer necessary (tested in Qt 5.9).
   Fixes selectors not working on Qt 5.15 (bug #341).

 * Fix incorrect update of grid size and angle size selector when
   style sheet is changed (bug #344).

 * Fix crash in 'iperender -pdf' when the document uses
   \includegraphics on a jpg file (bug #342).

 * Fix snapping to midpoint of closing segment of closed paths (bug
   #346).

 * Fix Fifi remaining invisible after switching back from ink mode
   (bug #347).

 * Escape key now closes page/view selectors and sorters on Windows
   (bug #349).

 * Improve PDF parser to handle when /Filter is an array, and to
   interpret the /CIDToGIDMap table (ipepresenter bug #7).

 * Ability to set position of main window and maximize the window or
   full screen mode on startup (#353).
