eCub Changelog

What's new in eCub 1.12

Aug 3, 2011
  • In batch mode, only shows a message if the compile failed.
  • Now supports TrueType files (application/truetype media type in the manifest).
  • Added a Czech user interface translation, thanks to Pavel Fric.
  • Added a Spanish user interface translation, thanks to Eduardo Ponce.

New in eCub 1.11 (Jun 1, 2010)

  • Added options for normal paragraph class, first paragraph class, section title class and classes that should precede a first paragraph, to allow the first paragraph to be unindended.
  • Setting the document guide type to toc, title-page or cover now lets eCub order these special sections correctly when provided explicitly by the user.
  • Fixed warning when adding HTML files in a non-Unicode encoding.

New in eCub 1.10 (Mar 2, 2010)

  • Improved cover page stretching (use height since it's likely to be the greater value) and made it the default again. Also disabled multiple columns for first page (for Adobe Digital Editions).
  • Added "Published by" string, now output in title page.
  • Now checks if the paragraph tag is present in the current text line to avoid emitting it twice, in case text contains tags.

New in eCub 1.09 (Mar 2, 2010)

  • Corrected a bug that prevented the correct display language from being used.
  • Added French display translation, courtesy of Philippe Laporte.
  • CSS and image files now edited and viewed with the correct external editor as specified in preferences.
  • Corrected a problem whereby spin ids didn't match manifest ids if content files were in subdirectories.
  • Added Convert button to switch sections between plain text and HTML.
  • Adding a content file now adds it after the selected file.
  • The cover page is no longer included in the NavMap by default; added a further option to switch it back on.
  • The default is now to not expand the cover image to fit the page since this rarely looks right.
  • Added Working with encodings and Troubleshooting sections to the manual.

New in eCub 1.08 (Feb 1, 2010)

  • Added "Show in NavMap" option, to allow exclusion of pages from the contents as defined in the NCX file.
  • Corrected cover design border behaviour to show only two borders for double border mode, and added triple border mode which shows the background colour between the two main border colours.
  • Corrected nesting bug in NavMap.

New in eCub 1.07 (Nov 13, 2009)

  • Now all source files, including images, are listed in the Files tab rather than found recursively at book compile time.

  • Added "Take title from first line of text files" to Project Options.
  • Fixed bug whereby the title was not taken from the text file when added
