v1.5.6 Update and 2.0 Alpha
Posted on December 7, 2010 by Admin
v1.5.6 Update
Today’s update fixes the MangaStream issue, and removes support for Manga-Haven.
You can get this update here.
v2.0 Preview
I am making available an early preview of Manga Reader v2.0. I haven’t started working on the new version of Manga Creator 2.0, so it is not included. There is no online explorer mode is this preview. It is however a much better offline manga or comic reader. To be able to read your online mangas with this reader, you will have to open them with the previous version and save them in the wgma format.
More archive formats are also supported. Please report any issues with rar (or other formats) archives. All known issues should be fixed. Let me know if they are not.
You will need to have .Net Framework 4 installed.
Get Manga Reader 2.0 Alpha here.
Feel free to leave feedback

CBR and RAR support
Posted on October 15, 2009 by Admin
Hello everyone,
Many people have reported issues opening CBR and RAR files. The current version of Manga Reader supports CBR and RAR on 32-bit machines only. This will also be supported for 64-bit machines when the next version is released. If you are having problems with CBR/RAR files on a 32-bit machine, leave a comment below.
Thanks,
Admin.

Minor Release: v1.5.2
Posted on August 19, 2008 by Admin
Another minor release to fix MangaFox and reading some mangas on OneManga.
I am also removing MangaVolume temporarily.
I will keep making these minor releases until the next major release. I am currently re-designing Manga reader to be more flexible. this will allow me to make these updates without having to release a new version. I think there will also be a new website/domain, etc. Stay Tuned 😉

New Manga Reader in June
Posted on May 2, 2008 by Admin
I have been very busy lately, and haven’t had the time to finish up the new release. It will come sometime in June. The version number will probably be v1.5, and it will fix many of the problems discussed in the “feedback” section.
I am also thinking of building a Silverlight version of the manga reader, that runs in browser. This will work with linux and mac. I will provide more details after the next release.
