Given some of the comments in the
old-thread I decided to make a new thread for Xournal updates. I will update this message with the binaries and post a mail at the end of this thread. I hope that it will be easier to find the relevant binaries for (new) users of Xournal.
Additions to update 8b:
- updated ipc call: startupComplete to R1.7 version (hope this will not break R1.6)
- Added Options->Toggle Taskbar to toggle the taksbar :-)
- Fixed problem with certain pages that do not have a /Content
-> The generated pdf will give problems on DR and behave strange on desktop!
- Use orientation extracted from the pdf to let poppler rotate
NOTE: Since version 5, you can switch between the 'slow-and-stable'-mode and the 'fast-but-might-crash'-mode with the menu Options->Experimental Update (mark-item to enable the fast-mode).
Installing :
Unzip Xournal-0.4.2.1_V8b.zip to your SD card. The Programs/Install folder will contain a 'Install Xournal V8b' and a 'Upgrade Xournal to V8b' icon (once you started the DR). The first should be used for a clean install of Xournal, it installs all required libaries, xournal and adds the file-extensions to the CTB. This will lead to a restart of the DR, so make sure you saved all your open work! Installation might take 30 seconds! The second version can be used if you already have an older version of xournal installed. It only updates the xournal program and resources. You will need the clean install after an upgrade of the firmware, since xournal is installed on the internal flash of the DR.
[For upgraders from V3/V4: Since there is only one version now, you might need to remove the XournalEx.desktop files (and /Programs/_xournal), which used to start the V4 version.]
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.

software on the PC. On request of curbarthedog.
- Fixed problem that did not allow to select iRex annotations immediately after
import. Detected by jbbebg.
Additions to update: 7b
- Handle tickness of annotations
- BUGFIX: update 7a, was always in 'slow-and-save' mode independent of the menu setting.
Additions to update: 7a

- Import and show iRex annotations for PDFs, extra menu. (Experimental!)

Additions to update: 6a (sorry for the confusing name)
- Annotating multiple PDF was not stable, improved on that
- Last page can now also be annotated (stupid bug
)
- The CropBox is now used (when specified in the original document) for calculating the scaling of annotations. This solves the problem that pthwaite found.
Addition to update: 6x (I removed the installation zip)
- On shutdown always write to a tempfile, never to original, might cause corruption.
- React on down/up same as page_down/up (in One Page view only)

- When ruler mode is enabled, switch back to 'label'-mode to get 'quick' updates of the lines.
- Update screen when recogniser is on after recognition.
- Renames Quit to Close to make it more conform other DR-apps.
- In R1.7 it seems that no refresh is triggered anymore after undo/redo, added forced update.
- Added (first version of) multi-language support, with a very ugly dutch translation to verify that it works...
- Added the Russian translation from Viacheslav
- Fixed path to 'temp file' were unsaved documents are stored during shutdown
- Added new icons from Viacheslav in the DR-menu. (+ scaled them to toolbar icons)
- Hidden the print-menu
- Changed the 'Print' item in the DR-menu to 'Export to PDF' so it better tells what is does.
- Included Viacheslav's 'extension installer' in the update
- Created a Help folder in Programs with a shortcut to xournals helpfile (requires midori to be installed)
