New release?

[cdown]

Hi there -- thanks for the very useful project which I often use for presentations. I notice that the latest version released is very old and doesn't build with modern Qt5 due to deprecation warnings (and -Werror). Maybe it's time for a new release? :-)

Current HEAD also fails to build, by the way:

/usr/include/boost/math/tools/config.hpp:23:6: warning: #warning "The minimum language standard to use Boost.Math will be C++14 starting in July 2023 (Boost 1.82 release)" [-Wcpp]
   23 | #    warning "The minimum language standard to use Boost.Math will be C++14 starting in July 2023 (Boost 1.82 release)"
      |      ^~~~~~~

Hi Chris,

thanks for letting me know. Should be easy enough to fix.

I'll disable -Werror by default, because it's done more harm than good by failing distributions' build scripts. I (and anyone else who wants to) can just turn it on via a CMake option.

With that said, I'll try to make it build on a current debian unstable without build-time warnings, let's hope that doesn't break builds on the older systems.

I'll post here once I have something ready to test.

Thank you! Much appreciated -- giving presentations is a large part of my job, and I give all of my presentations via dspdfviewer, so thank you very much!

I can't reproduce your exact error message, likely you have a slightly different system than me with an even more recent Qt/boost library.

Can you try building the "fix-master-build" branch (see #229) on your machine and tell me if that change works for you?
