- This originally showed up as fonts rendering differently on X11 than Wayland. (#230)
- Setting font size in points should be device and back end independent, however the same exact font face and size, on
the same machine, sometimes results in different font metrics between the xcb and wayland Qt back ends.
- Setting font size in pixels, assuming a virtual DPI of 96 pixels/inch, results in consistent font metrics and rendering
between these back ends. Furthermore, this virtual DPI works for either on-screen or hi-res printer QPainter contexts.
- This virtual DPI seems to work correctly with some limited testing with Windows and MacOS.
- Add rendering tests to build-tests CI script.
- Moved detailed version information from ReportBugDialog to Version::details()
- Added QPA Platform information to verbose version information
- Added Qt version to detailed version information
- Added `-V` command line option to glabels-qt and glabels-batch-qt
- Made greater use of smart pointers, eliminating many instances of manual memory management
- Do not use pointers at all for many non-polymorphic classes
- Assorted other code cleanup
Install and validate integration with as many optional dependencies on all testing platforms when doing CI build tests.
- For windows-latest, use vcpkg to install zlib, libqrencode, and zint.
- For macos-latest, use brew to install zlib, qrencode, and zint.
- Made zint version detection more robust across platforms.
- Simplify creation of build matrix.
- Added macos-latest build
- Renamed VERSION to VERSION.txt, this was problematic on macos build
- Added placeholders for installing optional dependencies for windows and macos builds in the future.
- New baseline minimum platform is Ubuntu 22.04
- Qt6 requires at least 6.2
- some deprecations may be flagged on later versions (e.g. 6.8)
- CMake requires at least 3.22
- Include build-tests.yml github action to validate builds on mulitple platforms
- QtTest is no longer optional since it easily comes along for the ride with Qt
- Replaced QStringRef in model::SubstitutionField with simple ParserState class
- Removed deprecations up to Qt 6.2
