Lucide 1.3.1 available

Wednesday April 21, 2010  By: Joachim Benjamins

Netlabs.org, Mensys BV and Serenity Systems International are pleased to announce the availability of Lucide 1.3.1.

Lucide is a plugin-based document viewer for eCS with support for various file formats including PDF, Jpg and DjVu.

Changes:

The most important changes since version 1.2.1 are:

1.31:

  • Renamed "Full screen" mode to "Presentation" mode (activated by F5 now) and renamed "Maximized view" mode to "Full screen" mode (same F11 shortcut), for clarity and similarity with other applications
  • Renamed "$switchfullscreen" pipe command to "$presentation".
  • Fixed copy to clipboard in presentation mode
  • All normal accelerators now work in presentation mode too, including Ctrl-O, Ctrl-+, Ctrl-- and so on.
  • Both the full screen and presentation modes can now be closed by Alt-F4.
  • The full screen or presentation mode is properly saved when exiting Lucide and restored at startup.
  • Pressing the "+/=" key moves to the next page (previously, it was necessary to hold Shift to make it work in many keyboard layouts).
  • Unified keyboard navigation in all modes.
  • Auto-scroll the index window to make sure the current page is always visible.
  • Made Enter submit the edited text in multi-line entry fields.
  • Fixed scrolling the document with RMB and enabled it in presentation mode

1.30:

  • PDF plugin: added support for filling forms in PDF documents
  • PDF plugin: Poppler library updated to version 0.12.3.
  • PDF plugin: freetype library updated to version 2.3.11.
  • DJVU plugin: djvulibre updated to version 3.5.22
