I promissed a new update in some other thread, here it is. The updates are not that big:
- The file dialogs are bigger,
- I added some extra menu-items in the DR-menu (I used some standard icons, so they look kind of funny...help appriciated!),
- some extra full-screen refreshes to make the 'Select Rectangle' and 'Insert Vertical Space' functions more usefull
- colors are removed, they are now from black to white
- I added some extra protection in the V4 version and
- some minor updates to improve usability.
Personally I only use the V4 version, but I make sure that all keys are locked. The crashes seem to be caused by some missing protection in the low-level display driver, so it is important to avoid full-screen updates and scribblings at the same time (for the V4).

Below the installation instructions:

Installing V3c:
Unzip the V3c version to your SD card. The Programs/Install folder will contain a installXournalPdfV3c_full and a installXournalPdfV3c_upgrade icon (once you started the DR). I also added the other two required ipkg files, so the "full"-version will install do a 'full-install' . The "upgrade"-version will only install the xournal-package (so update the xournal-app and some stuff used by the app.) The full takes considerable more time then the upgrade, so be patient. (Note that the full install will copy a xournal.desktop-file (which gives the icon you see to start the app) in the Program-folder and not on the Desktop as the original install does). I only used the full-install on a DR that already had xournal installed, so I please let me know if it does not install on a 'clean'-system.

Installing V4c:
For the V4c version, I took a different approach. Unzip the V4c zip-file to your SD-card. It will copy ONLY the app in Programs/_xournal/ and copy an xournalEX.desktop in the Programs-folder. So you can choose which version you use, the EX(perimental) version will use some of the components installed by the V3-version, so you also need to install that version.
REMEMBER: version 4c is still unstable, after a crash you will loose all your unsaved data!

The files in the Programs/Install and Programs/_install folders can be removed after installation.

Uninstall:
And for those that want to know, there is still no 'proper' uninstall. Best trick is to re-install the firmware, which should wipe the complete internal flash.

Feedback:
Please keep giving me feedback on problems or improvements for the program.
