What's new in µBook 2009r1
Oct 2, 2009
- New 2009 skin
- Added .epub as a ZIP format, no handling of meta data yet
- Added guess of a good title: If the text filename is small, will check for a parent compressed file that has a longer name and use it also.
- Changed touch to show gesture while dragging
- Added gesture to turn touch interface silent (up-right-down)
- Changed divided page cursor mode (for next and previous page by touching the screen). Now the edges will send to the next page, the center will send back. When touch control is active, the division rectangle will show in the middle of the screen.
- Fixed missing Double click bug introduced with touch interface
- Fixed crash when clicking during pagination
- Fixed issue with cover/copyright/nag that could not be closed without a mouse/stylus before delay
- Put iBook tutorial on-line again, on Getting Started page
- New Icons/Graphics
New in µBook 2008r3a Beta (Oct 11, 2008)
- Added Mappable Touch interface. By default:
- left/right/up/down swipe -> cursor
- swipe towards lower left -> enter
- swipe towards lower right -> sticky enter
- swipe towards upper left -> backwards in cursor modes
- swipe towards upper right -> forwards in cursor modes
- half circle swipe, right up left -> back
- half circle swipe, left up right -> forward
- full circle swipe, right, up, left, down, right -> exit
- swipe upper right then upper left -> Options...
- swipe upper left then upper right -> Open...
- Note that some/most Windows CE devices have touchscreens that are not as sensitive as, say iPhone, so you may need to use a fingernail to do a continuous swipe. You can use the 'Note' app to see what happens when you swipe using a finger.
- Added File Delete from browser
- Added Mouse Wheel / Middle Button on menus
- Auto install of a license from /My Documents/ if none already installed
- Steps towards portability:
- Changed Extra fonts to show directly in Options... page Fonts section in +/- mode
- Cleaned up hierarchy of mouse handlers
- Removed the use of Windows menu, to keep only uBook's skinable menus

- Fixed bug with text cursor over color boxes.
- Fixed memory leak
- Fixed crash with huge fonts, slight speed improvement.
- Fixed crash with selection at beginning of text

New in µBook 2008r2d (Aug 12, 2008)
