Hi guys, I think Nickolay and I have nailed the last of the scrolling/sizing bugs[1]. Continuous scrolling now feels pretty darned slick, and on text-only docs, it's really smooth. I think we're ready to do a stable release at this point. The one thing I'm concerned about is that the mutex locks in ev_view_can_find_next() made a return, and we definitely hit that when scrolling[2]. I thought that we'd managed to get find to not require the lock. Anyone know the story on those?
Once the release is done, I'd like to try to get the properties dialog into CVS. I'm also planning on looking at permissions, if no one else beats me to it. Does anyone else have any nice features that are in the works that could be landed in the near future? I'd like to do a couple of stable releases before we break things again. As for big pictures features planned, the major thing I want to tackle next is to introduce the concept of a rendering context into our API. This is basically a prerequisite to tackle features like forms, selection, and annotations. I _think_ it will make the .ppt and .ps backends a bit easier, though I haven't thought that through completely. Is anyone else doing anything interesting? Additionally, I signed up for a Lightning talk at GUADEC. If anyone else who contributes to evince is going to be there, they should add their name to the session: http://live.gnome.org/Stuttgart2005/LightningTalks Who else is going to be at GUADEC? If we have a big enough crowd, we can have a planning session. Thanks, -Jonathan [1] Or have fixed a reasonable enough amount that it's usable. [2] Commenting them out seems to work fine, too... _______________________________________________ Evince-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
