Everything up to v82.0.7216.35525 release.

This release is binary compatible with previous releases v80 and v79: the file storage formats haven't changed since v79.

The most important addition to v82 is much improved code robustness: Qiqqa SHOULD open and peruse user libraries, which have been corrupted somehow previously and which would crash or otherwise cause releases v80, v79 and older releases to fail or become completely inoperable. Bad/invalid/truncated PDF files in a user library or Watch Folder should not fatally wound Qiqqa any more.

v82 DOES NOT 'auto-fix' such libraries; this is reserved for a future release. See also #80

To see what happened up to this release, next to the CHANGELOG, there's the 'closed issues list' for this release at github.

The CHANGELOG (and CHANGELOG_full) list the work done in this series of commits.

At the time of this writing, the CHANGELOG_FULL is completed and the CHANGELOG (which is a reduction of the latter) is under construction. Once done, it will show up in this pullreq as the pullreq tracks the release branch.

Tip

Run a Qiqqa Expedition session on the entire library to retrigger OCR and text indexing of your library files, which were previously insufficiently parsed/processed (silently) due to a major fault in older QiqqaOCR: see also #74, #73 and https://github.com/GerHobbelt/qiqqa-open-source/issues/1

How to download & install

  • download:
    • scroll down this page to the ►Assets line and click the triangle to 'unfold' the list of downloads.
    • click the setup82.exe to download the v82 Qiqqa Installer.
  • install:
    • once you have downloaded setup82.exe, open it (or doubleclick on it in your local Downloads directory) to run the installer
    • the installer will detect a possible previous installed Qiqqa version and report this. Continue the installation process to upgrade your Qiqqa to v82.

In case you want to revert to v79

(v79 is the last commercial release of Qiqqa and has some built-in behaviours that are not present in the Open Source version of Qiqqa, such as Web Libraries support. However, Qiqqa.com no longer provides syncing support.

If you are still running the commercial version of Qiqqa, historical versions will be available at Qiqqa.com.

NOTE THAT SUPPORT FOR HISTORICAL VERSIONS OF QIQQA WILL DISAPPEAR SOMETIME DURING 2020!

To rollback to a previous version, we keep the last few versions (about 10 of them) at
