Announcement: FBReader 0.10.0 for desktops/netbooks is released

[geometer]

Hello All,

FBReader 0.10.0 is released today.

* This release is sponsored by Intel(R) Learning Series.
* Version 0.10.0 is released for Desktop/Netbook computers only
(for both Linux and Windows platforms).
* Packages for Nokia Internet Tablet and other platforms will be
released soon.

Changes:

* Network libraries integration has been added. FBReader can
search and download books from Feedbooks.com and LitRes libraries. We
plan to add more libraries in future releases. Short guide for this
new feature is available online.
Privacy notice: FBReader does not send any information to
libraries without user request (and never sends any information about
user's library or other user's information).
* Partial CSS support for epub files has been added. CSS support
in html and fb2 is coming soon.
* Epub and Mobipocket book formats support has been substantially
improved.
* Library view usability has been improved: you can now organize
the tree either by author or by tag.
* You can now select a word by double-click and a paragraph by
triple-click.
* Right-to-left languages and bidirectional texts support has been
added (GNU FriBidi library is used).
* Support for Arabic, Hebrew, Greek and Turkish has been added.
* Czech localization has been added (many thanks to Lubomír
Čevela).
* FBReader now has a new set of icons.
* It's now possible to use OS scrollbar for navigating through the
text (this is now default and if you would like to continue using old
variant, you can change it in the preferences dialog.)
* Various bugs have been fixed.

Changes important for package builders:
* 2 new library dependencies have been added: lubcurl and
libfribidi
* liblinebreak 1.0 is used in this release (see
http://vimgadgets.sourceforge.net/liblinebreak/) for details

Best Regards,

I like the FeedBooks download capability. I was going to ask for an
option to change the download directory, but I see that this is
available on the library tab (and it is even in your documentation).

Hi Frank,

Do you mean ASUS minibook with Xandros distribution? If yes, debian
packages are for you. Please visit the page http://www.fbreader.org/desktop/debian.php
for instructions.

Huh? I mapped it without big problems. Although it is a shame that
I have to map such basic shortcut myself.
