# Changelog
## 1.1.1~dev (Unreleased)
## 1.1.0
This is a new major version of Xournal++ with many new features, improvements,
and bug fixes thanks to over one year's worth of contributions from the
community.
* **Breaking changes**:
* Xournal++ now follows the [XDG Base Directory
Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)
(#1101, #1384). The configuration files will now be stored in an
appropriate platform-specific user data folder. Old configuration files
will be copied automatically if the new user data folder does not exist.
* For users that have non-default DPI settings, text elements in old
documents may be displayed with incorrect sizes/positions. A new plugin is
included to fix the positioning of these text elements. See the relevant
bug in the "Text tool" section below.
* The old input system has been removed, which may affect some users.
* Windows: The installer has been updated, fixing many issues such as:
incorrectly set up registry keys, missing uninstaller entry, missing
entries in Open With context menu in Explorer, missing icons, etc. (#2606,
#2585, #2387, #2141, #2036, #1903, #2666, #3215). When upgrading from
1.0.18, you **must not run the uninstaller**; instead, run the updated
installer, which will clean up files from the old install and fix the
registry key entries. **If you are downgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.0.18 or
older, you must run the uninstaller first.**
* Linux: Support for Ubuntu 16.04 (and older distros) has been dropped.
Please use a distro from 2018 or later, such as Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian
Buster. The dependency versions have been updated accordingly.
* Linux: The thumbnailer program has been renamed from `xournal-thumbnailer`
to `xournalpp-thumbnailer` in order to fix tab completion (#1752).
* Linux: Xournal++ now has a hard dependency on `librsvg`. This should not affect
end-users, only maintainers and packagers.
* The code has been updated to use C++17 (#1485) and must now be compiled
using a supported compiler version, such as GCC 7 or Clang 5 (or newer).
* MacOS: Dropped support for macOS High Sierra; minimal version is now Catalina (#2989)
* Document viewing
* Changed page selection system to now select the current page during
scrolling (#1613, #1184).

preload mechanism (#2603).
* Fixed a bug where scrolling would not work with zoom fit enabled until the
zoom level changes (#2541).
* Fixed some bugs that prevented documents from being displayed on ARM and
32-bit devices (#2576).

(#2712).

page deletion and layer navigation (#2766)

calibration setting is different from the default (#2923)
* Fixed a freeze caused by scrolling between pages of different size (#2770,
#3099).
* Document export
* Added a "progressive mode" option to PDF file export dialog. This will
render layers from bottom to top, exporting a new page every time a layer
is rendered (#2589, #2609).
* Simplified background rendering to improve compatibility of exported SVGs
(#2598).
* Made line spacing equal in export and on view when pango version >= 1.48.5 is
available (#2182)

files on export (#2871)

## 1.0.15
**Attention**: Please see the 1.0.14 patch notes before installing this version.
* Fixed an issue where copying and pasting strokes would crash the program.
## 1.0.14
**Attention:** users who installed with `make install` will need to follow
special instructions to update. See the "Breaking change" below.
We now officially support packaging Xournal++ using CMake. This allows users to
generate DEB and tar packages. See `readme/linux.md` for more details.
* **Breaking change**: the desktop and icon files were renamed from `xournalpp`
to `com.github.xournalpp.xournalpp` to be more in line with the AppStream
specification. This change should only affect users that install with `make
install`; these users must run `make uninstall` with a cloned version of
_Xournal++ 1.0.12_ first. We recommend migrating to another installation
format, such as Flatpak, AppImage, or tarball. Refer to [this
issue](https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/1442#issuecomment-524566511)
for more details on how to uninstall if `make uninstall` is unavailable. Refer
to `readme/LinuxBuild.md` for build instructions.
