a release candidate 1.7.2-rc1 is available now.

Please let me know if there is anything that needs to be updated in addition to the copyright year
and the AppVersion.txt, if there is any.

Yes, System/Rsrc/Strings all get updated automatically. The only exception is, as far as I remember, the copyright year.

Josef

The standard process is a bit bureaucratic in this case, I do agree. In particular because the changes are small and there is not much community testing to be expected. So we can go to rc1 immediately if the center agrees.

Josef

I think it is a good time now for release 1.7.2.

The steps would be:
0. create an infrastructure issue for the release
1. update About dialog with current Copyright year
2. update AppVersion.txt to 1.7.2-b1
3. push to master
4. announce 1.7.2 Beta on the community board

Anything else?

I checked the typical usage of Para and Ruler views in a text and it seems that almost always they are preceded by a CR.
So exporting Para and Ruler as CR would not improve the user experience, I think.

My conclusion is that it is best to leave them as they are.

There seems to be no problem with the fix.
So I would like to propose to continue with the voting.

I have committed the fix to the issue branch. For the changes see https://redmine.blackboxframework.org/projects/blackbox/repository/diff?utf8=%E2%9C%93&rev=e14d28a44018f9501d46bb35ec41120893bbd779&rev_to=9246b01682cfcf6521ffd655643cbd44565bf663 . The fix is as proposed by luowy except that ...

It has been reported to me that if the line in Init is appended to CreateMainWindows then it works.

In a last minute action before my vacation I have restarted redmine and it seems to be working again.
