QPrompt 1.0.0-beta-003 (9/19/2021)

Changelog

New features

• Ability to enter edit mode while prompting by double clicking on prompter, cursor stays inside visible space as a safety measure
• Fonts can be resized while prompting to help readers find the right size faster
• Implemented named markers
• Implemented way of detecting when moving past markers
• Line height spacing control slider
• Letter spacing control slider
• Word spacing control slider
• Implemented settings persistence across sessions
• Added tool for configuring default amount of steps to use when starting to prompt
• Ability to toggle between native text renderer (nicer fonts, no sub-pixel animation, better for high resolution screens) and Qt's own text renderer (fonts not as detailed, have sub pixel animation, better for low resolution screens)
• Added well known keyboard shortcuts for text formatting
• Added button that restores default Timer color

Enhancements

• Improved prompter animation equation to make it so that it auto-adjusts relative to window width, editor width and font size.
• Improved text selection. Selecting text now enables you to continue looking at the color and highlight properties on the selected text.
• Countdown line sizes now vary in relation to font size.
• Improved default document formatting
• Default formatting now works independent from opened document
• Accessibility improvement: Pressing Tab in editor now shifts focus to the next item.
• Enabling Projections automatically maximizes the main window
• Removed Justified text formatting because it's not fit for teleprompter software
• Improved editor icons

Fixes

• Prompter toggle now always switches focus between editor and prompter automatically. Pressing space bar while prompter is focused in a state other than editing or prompting now also results in toggle.
• Fixed computation error of timer during rewinds
• Fixed unintended adding to velocity on horizontal scrolling
• Find dialog no longer covers ReadRegion when this is set to the bottom half of the screen
• Projections now Maximize on macOS instead of going into fullscreen, to prevent source window from not being drawn and thus having nothing to project
• Transparency now works for projections in macOS as well

Other changes

• Refactored key input configuration options
• Refactored telemetry UI
• Refactored State machines to use enumerations instead of strings for faster state comparisons

Disclaimer

This is an early pre-release version of QPrompt created for testing platform specific bugs and to improve on the user experience. Although most 1.0 features have been implemented at this point, some features and icons are missing.
