GiK means Guys in Kiev - Київ in Ukrainian, Киев in Russian. GiK is the name Programmers from PocketBook that reside in the Capital of Ukraine - Kiev got from us.

By turning by 180 degrees I did not mean using the "wrist pageturn version of FBReader, so called fbreader180" I meant then you turn the device upside down so you can turn the pages with the use of the other hand.
When I did this in 14.2 firmware the green led went on and stayed on for considerable time as the device repaginated book. Firmware 15.2 does not seem to do that. But this might be improvement of the version of fbreader I am using, now that I think about it.

When I talked about a complete list of changes against 14.2 I meant a list of perhaps 30 items, telling us what they improved on firmware, so we can start using new features.
I believe such a list already exists as a part of an internal development documentation. Developers have to keep track on what they do.
