Hi everyone,

We hope you're doing well! After some time, we're delighted to be back with a new Skipper version.

This version brings you over 30 targeted improvements that make your daily work with Skipper smoother, faster, and more reliable.

The new version is available on the Skipper download site. Or you can just launch the application and the auto-update system will take care of it for you.

And what's new?

In this new version we've systematically addressed the core stability issues reported by our users. Here's what we've accomplished:

Memory management improvements:

  • Fixed memory leaks in XSLT transform functions
  • Resolved memory leaks in diagram structures
  • Updated internal diagram handling to reduce potential memory issues
  • Optimized migration snapshot processing to remove redundant operations

Crash prevention:

  • Added critical NULL checks throughout diagram logic to prevent rare random crashes
  • Fixed incorrectly formatted exception messages that could cause crashes during error reporting
  • Improved dirty-flag handling when diagram objects are not yet initialized
  • Fixed child object handling for very large diagrams
  • Enhanced diagram initialization when objects weren't correctly loaded from XML

Better error handling and reliability:

  • Improved diagram error and exception messages for better issue traceability
  • Enhanced QScriptEngine exception error handling
  • Fixed recursion issues in ObjectFinder with maximum search depth enforcement
  • Improved thread safety in project configuration storage
  • Fixed cleanup of deleted values to prevent stale data after restart

Framework-specific stability:

  • Laravel: Fixed migration crashes related to column ordering
  • Laravel: Improved default value handling to prevent errors
  • Migrations: Fixed multiple crash scenarios in MigrationLogExporter and MigrationSnapshot
  • Migrations: Corrected edge-case handling in DiagramSerializer
