Patacrep!

Here is the release 0.7.7 for the Songbook-Client that brings the following updates:

• support songbook options between braces
• support for fields "original song" and "artist website"
• the cover of the song can now be removed
• correct edit freeze after find/replace all (thx Lohrun!)
• LaTeX logs are flushed when starting a new pdf build
• opening an already opened song switches to the corresponding tab (instead of making a duplicated tab)
• the completer menu for macros has been rewritten and should now work (at last!)
• turning spellchecking on doesn't set the song as modified anymore
• tabs can be opened/closed with mouse middle click
• bug fixes for songbook templates in preferences

Note that the release 0.7.6 did not happen because of a last minute bug ;)

There is also a new bugfix release 0.7.5 of the songbook-client (thanks to Lohrun and Znoug) :

• build pdf action is disabled if the library is empty
• a warning message with instructions appears if pdflatex and/or python are not installed
• some tooltips were not correctly drawn
• check the number of strings when adding a new diagram
• fix crash when saving an empty song
• fix first character not drawn in editor
• fix default value for the number of columns
• spellchecking suggestions are only proposed when spellchecking is active

Here it is, have a good day
