Test release targeting issues jimmejardine#290, jimmejardine#288, jimmejardine#286, jimmejardine#283, jimmejardine#281, jimmejardine#280, jimmejardine#264.

  • The obnoxious 'Something has happened' dialogs popping up with the previous "unpublished" release should be gone now.
  • A few bugs have been fixed, which hopefully reduce the amount of trouble for folks with larger libraries.
  • Improved responsiveness at startup: the status bar now shows better where Qiqqa is at while loading large libraries, while you're waiting for the Windows hourglass to go away. 😉

Known Issues

  • Regrettably I haven't been able yet to reduce the internal GC/Memory pressure by a significant factor, which is technology mumbo-jumbo for: users with (very) large libraries or library collections spanning more than about 20K to 50K documents will still suffer from Out Of Memory issues, i.e. Qiqqa crashes.
    (That one is a tough nut to crack, given the current 32-bit constraints on Qiqqa 😢 -- work on that one continues...)

  • #292: menu's don't act smoothly; need to jiggle a bit sometimes before the 'focus' blue background shows up. 😭

Features

First release to (ahem) officially support the "developer overrides config file", documented at this link. This config file is normally absent, but when created (using a text editor), Qiqqa will pick up those configuration settings and disable chunks of its behaviour/feature set as described at the link. When you're done with it and want the standard behaviour back again, simply delete the config file -- or set all config items in there to true (the default for everything as described in the linked document.
