New features:

  • Instead of showing only available and workable backends, Cantor shows all available backends and for non workable shows reason, why this backend doesn't work.
  • Allow to set the path to custom Julia installations. However, Cantor will work with versions only it was compiled for.
  • For Markdown and LaTeX entries allow to switch via double click from the rendered result to the original code and back via the evaluation of the entry
  • Save the results of rendered markdown and LaTeX entries as part of the project. This allows to see the results also on with no support for markdown and latex rendering
  • Hide "Help" panel on startup. Automatically show this panel when user executes a command entry with a help expression
  • Add "Recent Files" submenu (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409138)

  • Reset Command Entry numeration after Backend restart
  • Close loaded worksheet, if the loading failed (before Cantor show empty broken worksheet)
  • [Python] Fix bug with non-working interruption (before interrupted only Cantor expression: Python Server still continued to work)
  • Don't scroll to worksheet's end after the project was loaded
  • [Julia, Python] Report about server side errors, for example, crashes
  • [Python] Don't use Qt in pythonserver executable for avoding problems (often crashes) with PyQt5 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397264, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407362)
  • [Python] Show Python warnings not as errors, but as text results (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409240)
  • Add missing context menu to MarkdownEntry
  • Fix bug with rendering loaded rendered MarkdownEntry as empty
  • Fix unworking 'Show LaTeX Code' action in Latex Entry context menu
