Version 1.0

Reached all the remaining goals for the 1.0 release. Some bug fixes, rewrite of UI using glade files, and following new features:

• translation (only French so far)
• improved view with annotation slide (notes in big, current + next in side bar)
• ability to draw on the slides
• option to show big buttons for touch screens/controllers
• smoother resizing of panes (especially on windows)
• possibility to open pympress without a pdf file, and to open/close files with pympress open
• documentation hosted in the same branch, and available through pympress.xyz
• distribution via pypi

portability, video, and more features

Many features, including contributions from Christof Rath (@nobecutan), incrementing on his v0.5.

Portability: bringing pympress up to speed on all platforms

• various look & feel improvements on Mac
• screensaver and video support on Windows
• fixed segfault on Linux, apparently due to non-thread-safe interactions between xlib and gtk/gdk

New features:

• displaying text annotations
• estimated talk time
• stable support for video through a VLC plugin (requires VLC of the same bit-ness as python, it 32 bits or 64 bits)

Other improvements:

• setup scripts now use entry points and uniquely defined version number
• separate options (fullscreen, etc) from startup options in two menus next to each other
• various bugfixes

v0.4

Rebirth of this project, with lots of new features and support for Python3, port to GTK+3.

Main new items:

• Migrating to pygi and PyGobject with GTK+ and Poppler through introspection interfaces
• Works on Windows (tested with 7, 64bit, virtual machine)
• Can generate frozen packages now, using cxfreeze_setup.py
• Aligning slide in presenter window can be set (useful if form factor of slide and projector disagree)
• ``Offline'' browsing of slides so you can preview jumping to a slide on the controller window only
• Better screen space usage of presenter window and resizable panes containing slide previews
• Preferences saved in a config file
• Screen-aware startup. If 2 screens are available, fullscreen presenter on one screen and maximized controller on other screen, with S as quick-swapping button in case pympress guessed the screens wrong.
• Screen blankable
• README.md in the project
• Modules doc available online at http://cimbali.github.io/pympress/pympress.html
