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).
