@k_gm. Searches will definitely be made better. I'm not happy with them either.

I know this sounds like a copout but DPV is not designed for technical works. It is tuned for "literary" works. I've also had requests from academics to improve it for technical material. I'll definitely be improving it at some point.

Filtering out numbers/hex is a good idea for the interim.

Terribly sorry about the crash. Would it be possible for you to email me privately and help me reproduce this problem? I'd love to have it fixed before the next update.

@Faterson. I had looked at StarDict. The way I understand it, it is a defunct project and there are copyright claims on the material. I stand to be corrected.

@Synamon. Thanks. That is exactly the point of the themes. They are not necessary or actually useful, just a very optional way to contribute something. Everything else and new stuff will remain as is. To be perfectly honest, now that they are there (for me) I like changing them every now and then - I'm a glutton for customisation.

@hrosvit. Thanks.

@eVeNtInE. The plan, in theory, is this:

- In 2 weeks (test results and Apple gods permitting) 1.2 will be out.
- I will publish the roadmap for 1.3 (collections/folders are already in the list).
- I'll ask whether there are still any features that people would consider critical and wouldn't use Marvin otherwise.
- Within reason, I'll try and accomodate (DRM is not on the radar).
- 1.3 will be out end-of-Jan/mid-Feb at the earliest.
- I'll scale the rate of iPad development down and dedicate most of my development time to the iPhone version.
