[Caml-list] [ANNOUNCE] llpp v23

[moosotc]

Hello,

New version of llpp (tagged v23) is now available at:
* http://repo.or.cz/w/llpp.git (has "tutorial" videos)
* https://github.com/moosotc/llpp/ (has a bugtracker)

============================================================================
Blurb

llpp is a graphical PDF viewer, which aims to superficially resemble
less(1)

============================================================================
Changes

* additional remote commands
* user supplied CSS for HTML/EPUB
* horizontal preloading
* optional EGL support
* dictionary lookup
  http://repo.or.cz/llpp.git/commit/29916e0cadcdf0ee3136fc3b4655b3c8b0d01a7b
* scripts/styles to comfortably convert/read wikipedia material
* zooming improvements (pivot zoom etc)
* 4.04.0 `-warn-error +a' fix (Tuncer Ayaz)
* bugfixes
* work on energy consumption reduction
* synced with mupdf 1.10 that boasts:
    BMP, SVG, GIF, FB2 suport
    internal links in HTML/EPUB
    more - http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=mupdf.git;a=blob;f=CHANGES;hb=1.10

============================================================================
macOS

Nicolás Ojeda Bär made llpp run on macOS "natively" (i.e. using cocoa)
https://github.com/nojb/llpp

The port is mostly functional, but:

a) there are some rough edges
b) few things probably do not quite work the way macOS aficionados
   expect them to
c) it lags a bit behind llpp's master

Don't let the above discourage you though.

Big thanks to Nicolás for coding, Nils Becker and Денис "сами Мы из
Нижнего[1] и у Нас три высшего" Барахтанов for testing, suggestions
and constructive critique.

It would indeed, but all my objections to jenga still stand :(

Argh... This double build system bites again (I don't
use/test-well-enough the non-shake one) strikes again, fixed now in:
