Special thanks to @bmjcode and @igneus for their big work on porting Frescobaldi (and its dependency qpageview) to Qt6.
Kudos to @jeanas for implementing the long awaited automatic installation of LilyPond within Frescobaldi preferences and for modernizing the Python packaging tools.
This is the first release using Briefcase to build packages for Windows and macOS on GitHub Actions (thanks to @fedelibre). We hope that making new releases will be easier now!

This release is dedicated to the memory of Urs Liska, who passed away a few months ago. Urs has been one of the main contributors of Frescobaldi in the past years.

  Known issues

  • The application bundles are not signed with an Apple Developer certificate (the Intel one is unsigned, the Apple silicon one has an ad hoc signature). See this Apple support article about opening applications from unidentified developers.
  • When launching the application, the main window may not show up: clicking on Frescobaldi's icon in the dock should make it appear. See #428.
  • Due to problems in packaging a component, the application bundles do not include the Documentation Browser and the SVG View. If you need them, see the relevant wiki page for alternative ways of installing Frescobaldi on Mac. For more details on the problem, see #1244.
