You can now drag the tabs around, e.g., to move the most important ones to the left (or right) or for any sort of ordering that makes sense. There is one buglet: the dragged tab loses its close button - but you can still close from the File menu (fixed in next release).

Remembers where you were if you run a presentation over multiple days (default is on; disable in Settings if not wanted).

Various bug fixes.

Build uses jlink to make installer smaller.

deb and rpm release packages built under Windows System for Linux (WSL), since I have to boot into Windowz to build the MSI installer anyway. Thanks to Canonical for working with Microsoft to get WSL going and making Ubuntu work there. Thanks to Oracle for the somewhat hidden OracleLinux8.5 WSL installation (use --id 9P06H18WXBVP to winget install 8.5 as of June, 2022).

So this doesn't break anything, but adds a Break Timer facility, accessed from the View menu.

Updated to make the timer an InternalFrame so it stays in front of the main window (new Windows binary 2022-02-11).

Installers for all three main platforms are included with this release.

Emergency Update: Unbreak the error that prevented Exit from Exiting.

While here: Unbreak app icon in MS-Windows.

Sorry for: delay in getting the Windows installer built.

Missing: the rpm installer. Use previous version for now, please.

Many small changes. Move Settings back to left-side panel. Unbreak a few things.

Minor fixes and improvements. Settings moved to a dialog. Gear icon on left panel (or Menu) to open.

Adds "slide show" modes - one file, or one page from each tab. Minor fixes.

First build of a Linux RPM (built on Centos running under OpenBSD's vm subsystem).

Minor improvements to selection of objects you've drawn. Tests pass again :-). A few other tweaks.

Numerous fixes and a few enhancements make this the first fully-usable release. Page navigation works. Freehand line drawing is much better. There are settings for font, color and line thickness. You can add new blank pages and draw all over them.
The biggest missing feature is the lack of a "Save" capability, but that will come along soon (I hope).
As always, the release includes a clickable Jar file and installers for both MS-WIndows and macOS; the latter two include their own JRE whilst the former requires a Java installation. For the Windows MSI you may have to remove any previous releases; haven't fully got the hang of MSI installs yet.
This release was improved by several reports, testing, and fixes from Ulf, thanks!

Enable styling (fonts, colors, linewidth). Fix off-by-one that moved drawn items from current to new blank page. Some NPE fixes if you try things with no file open (there are probably more of these to be found).

Minor tweaks:

• Properties file maintained in git, eliminates another "getting started" obstacle when building from source.
• The Feedback form can now be reached either from the Help menu or from the Feedback("chat") icon in the toolbox.
• In the process, fix the feedback URL.
• Improvements to README, developer documentation, etc.

First beta release of pdfshow. 007 seemed like a good starting point, since I've already been using it for several courses.

The source tar and zip are provided automatically, but getting the source via git will be more useful.
