Sigil 0.9.12 release notes:

This Sigil release is primarily to address bugs introduced by the upgrade to Qt5.11.2 and Python 3.7 in the previous release.

Bug Fixes:

fix typo in cssreformatter that caused errors with @ fontface (issue #394)
workaround for qt bug affecting tab close buttons on Mac (commit f3b9399)
fix Mac Qt5 plugin dylibs that macdeployqt broke in Sigil-0.9.11

Be aware that Sigil-0.9.12 still enforces the need for epub3 to have and support an NCX so that it generates as backward a compatible epub as possible. This may be relaxed in future releases.
