ANNOUNCE: Haskell Pdf Presenter (hpdfp) 0.2.2 I'm pleased to announce the first public release of the Haskell Pdf Presenter (hpdfp).
Project home page: http://michaeldadams.org/projects/haskell-pdf-presenter/ Project on Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskell-pdf-presenter/ Project repository: http://michaeldadams.org/repos-pub/hg/haskell-pdf-presenter/ What it is ========== The Haskell Pdf Presenter (hpdfp) is a tool for presenting PDF-based slide shows. For example, as a presenter, I like to see the next slide before it is shown to the audience as well as how much allotted time remains. I was never quite satisfied with the existing tools for this, so I wrote my own and hpdfp is the result. Though I originally wrote it for my own use, the tool has matured over time, and I now wish to share it with others. Aside from being a useful tool, I think hpdfp is a good example of elegance and economy in program design. Despite being only a thousand lines long, this program is full of features that may not be obvious at first glance so please be sure to look at the available help. Status ====== I've been using this tool in my own talks for over a year now, and it is fairly stable and feature complete. I've only tested it on Ubuntu so I don't know if it ports to other platforms. I'd love to hear any field reports about how it runs on other platforms. Future Directions ================= I have a long TODO list of ideas I may implement in the future, but most development has been driven by the practical considerations that I discover as I use the tool. If you have a use case for a particular feature, please let me know. ================ Feature requests, bug reports, suggestions or feedback as well as contributions to the documentation or implementation are most welcome.
