ConstEdit 2.5 is here

ConstEdit is now compatible with Windows 10 and has no dependency on Internet Explorer

1. Starting from this release, ConstEdit no longer has any dependency on Internet Explorer. ConstEdit now runs on any versions of Windows that have Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 installed. If you are on Windows 7, you may need to download and update to Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 first. If you have Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, the minimum requirement is already satisfied.
2. ConstEdit is tested to be completely compatible with Windows 10.
3. The bundled XULRunner runtime is upgraded from version 31 to 38.0.6.5634 (the same rendering engine as Firefox 38).
4. Design Html StyleSheet Dialog
• "Import" functions are now done with XULRunner completely. This is to get rid of the dependency on Internet Explorer.
• The dialog initial start-up styles settings have some changes
• The "page-break-inside" property for Figure element is set to "avoid" (do not perform any page break inside the element during printing).
• The "margin" property for Image element is set to "0.1em".
• The "page-break-inside" style property item is now enabled for Figure element.
• The four bundled css stylesheets (ConstEditCss1~4.css) are changed and regenerated :
• The "page-break-inside" property for Figure element is set to "avoid" (do not perform any page break inside the element during printing).
• The "margin" property for Image element is set to "0.1em".
• Fixed a bug where the auto-numbering of sections / figure caption / table caption could not be enabled successfully after the option "Import from Css" or "Import from Scratch" is selected.
5. Bugs fixed
• The app crashed occasionally during start-up when the system was very busy.
• In some situations, after a close file action was performed, the input focus was not put back to the application successfully.
• The text that was displayed in the pop-up tooltip of comments were truncated in some cases. The text that is saved with the comments is correct though.
• The app was unable to retrieve the right-clicked comment properly in some cases. As a result, the comment was not shown in the context menu.
6. Minor enhancements
• The app start-up performance is mildly optimized.
• The maximum length of text in a comment is increased from 350 to 500.
7. The download link is changed.

ConstEdit listing in Windows Store

Due to a recent decision by Microsoft to terminate the support of all desktop apps in Windows Store, ConstEdit will not be listed in Windows 10 Store and there will be no more updating in Windows 8.x Store. The version of ConstEdit that is listed in Windows 8.x Store will remain unchanged at v2.0.1 and will still be active until June 30, 2016, as we have been notified.
