Changelog

v1.4

• New viewing mode. This is the 'reader' mode. More on that later.
• D-pad now pans the screen. Recevied alot of requests for this one.
• File browser is now filtered; will only show PDF files. Note that it will show folders that don't have PDF files in them.
• You can now adjust the backlit brightness by holding down Select + Up/Down arrows.
• You can now cancel out of the file browser with 'B', or by clicking the file browser button again.
• Rendering is getting progressively faster.
• Mini-help screen and info screen on startup.
• Added splash screen. If you find this annoying, remove the splash files in the FONTS folder, and it will bypass this step.
• Fonts are external now. This gives us alot more memory to play with at the expense of higher load times on certain PDF's. (Note: Taken out the dingbats font).
