Hi, everyone,

I am pleased to announce hxournal-0.6.5.
The main highlight is support for pen pressure sensitivity and pen
buttons.
For the pen button, one is configured as lasso selection and the other
is configured as eraser. Currently it is not configurable, but soon I
will make them configurable.

Pen pressure sensitivity is disabled by default when starting
hxournal, but if you toggle on the menu item "Pressure Sensitivity" in
"Options" menu, then you will see the effect. Pen tip shape is very
thin line, so it has quite a significant calligraphic effect. I will
add some more pen tip options later. For playing pen pressure, the
current pre-configured pen widths are rather too thin. So I added one
more option for pre-configured pen width called "ultrathick" pen
width. You can change the size in Tools > Pen Options
I will also make a menu item or tool box for choosing arbitrary pen
width. Stay tuned :-D

I am now very content with recent new additional features and
improvement of hxournal compared with the previous status. As you
might notice, I am a very heavy duty notetaker using tablet PC as a
theoretical physicist, so all of my development efforts are being
extensively field-tested in my everyday work. I would like to
encourage you to try this most recent versions. You will enjoy it!

Thanks for your interest.
Keep improving!

best,
IW
