FBReader 0.8.4

Adam B. · 06-06-2007, 12:27 PM

Edit 2/12/08: The most recent port of FBReader can be found here: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20490

I'm releasing 0.8.4 as an Ipkg package as defined here: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10585

Let me know how the install goes. Everything should be very simple now that there is one version for all memory cards.

One of the biggest changes is that the Options dialog now has arrows, so that all of fbreader's options can be changed. (see attached screenshot)

Other changes since last iLiad release (0.8.2b)

Quote:

Version 0.8.4 is released (June 5, 2007).
Changes:

* Interface localization is now supported. All text resources has been moved to XML files. Resources for English and Russian are included in the package.
* CHM support has been improved.

Version 0.8.3d is released (May 18, 2007).
Changes:

* For mobipocket files (e.g., for files from the free Baen library) TOC building has been improved.
* OEB support has been improved.

Version 0.8.3c (for Windows, Linux/gtk desktop and PepperPad) is released (May 14, 2007).
Changes:

* In Windows version, the BMP image format support has been added.
* In Linux desktop (gtk) version, the problem with 'maximize-fullscreen-unfullscreen' sequence has been fixed.

Version 0.8.3b is released (May 12, 2007).
Changes:

* Mobipocket format support has been improved.
* Qtopia: selection has been fixed.
* PdaXRom (gtk): infinite loop during startup has been fixed.

Version 0.8.3 is released (May 9, 2007).
Changes:

* Text selection and copying to the clipboard have been added.

You can download it here: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...readerinst.zip

Simply extract it to your memory card and run from the contentlister. It should automatically upgrade if you have a previous version installed as well.

yes, thank you Adam!!

Thanks, it is working. Just one bug, when you press the confirm button (dot) to go to fullscreen, you can´t go back to non-fullscreen pressing it again. I tried with the keys option without success.

I noticed the same bug. Not sure what's going on, I'll have to look into it further. As it's not a show-stopper, I decided to release it as-is.

templario · 06-06-2007, 03:33 PM

Of course, this is jus a minor bug, the other features work very well, indeed a very useful program.

Nice, but I had to reenter the books in my library. Bug or feature?

Installation bug. I don't use the library, so I forgot to test.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

I've uploaded a new version (same filename) that shouldn't overwrite the old config files. Sorry about that.

Could something be done about the teeny tiny "+" buttons in the library view of FBReader? I'm having a lot of trouble hitting them with my stylus. Thanks!

DeGodefroi · 06-11-2007, 02:08 PM

Umm ok I downloaded this version, put it on the internal memory of the Illiad. Copied the unzipped dir to it.
In browsing internal memory I see install FBreader. But I cannot click on it or push the dot (between the 2 arrows). It just did not run.
I am no hacker..I have no linux/shell access etc and do not want to. Just FBreader to read rtf and such.
Thnx in advance

you need the shell script execution addon from iRex. Without that, you cant use any software from external sources.

DeGodefroi · 06-11-2007, 04:16 PM

Ah ok..thnx
I put in the request via the webform.

I upgraded to 2.10 and it doesn't seem to work any more. Any idea why? Both the standard and the improved version of ipdf seem to work fine.
