No good newson my part. New features are nice but then i made
some discoveries wrt 1.7 20121030 (release is in fact not marked as 1.8):
- New pdf reader is not 100% compatibile with scribbles made in old pdf reader. Most of the time they work (albeit look pale), but sometimes they appear misaligned and badly scaled. This has to do with page scaling bug (see below)... It is advisable that anyone who has scribbles not merged with original pdf merges them before upgrading. Don't know yet if this is permanent ie persits if you revert to previous firmware version.
- annotations merging bug is not fixed. Files with unmergeable annotations still cannot be merged. This bug got reported in April, its November now !!!
- update deletes web bookmarks
- in new reader a confirmation is needed before closing documents (this is plain idiocy, and very irritating)
- zoom levels saved in old firmware are recreated improperly in the new reader
- the new navigation bar gets corrupted
- in some files removing scribbles made in old firmware works improperly - the screen is only updated on page flips so you cant see what you remove
- screen keyboard is very slow in web browser if site has flash elements (this is recession to an old bug) - workaround is to turn off images loading
- password entering bug in web browser is not fixed in sites with flash elements
- website bookmarking doesnt work at all
- in scroll mode the page position is not saved
- grayscale bug is not fixed
All in all, it looks like Onyx did that again. Lots of new features, new bugs, old bugs not fixed. It is sham that software of this quality is offered as an "update". Frankly, I'm tired with this shit.
