dspdfviewer changelog

This file aims to record all user relevant changes to dspdfviewer.

If you're intrested in the specific source-level changes between versions, or non user-relevant changes (like build system or packaging related), please inspect the output of commands like git diff -w v1.11..v1.12 directly.

v1.15 - 2016-04-05

Changes in behaviour:

  • When compiling dspdfviewer yourself:
    • You must now execute the testsuite within a running X Server (Linux) or within a graphical environment (Windows/OSX). It will no longer try to set up one on its own.
    • The testsuite expects two screens to be connected by default. If your environment only has one screen, you can pass -DRunDualScreenTests=OFF at CMake time to avoid a test failure.
    • Instead of offering pre-rendered PDFs for download, they are now included in the source tree. The option DownloadTestPDF has been replaced with UsePrerenderedPDF accordingly.
    • Qt5 is now the default. If you want to build against Qt4, you will have to pass -DUseQtFive=OFF to CMake. Note that Qt4 support is now considered deprecated and will be removed in one of the next versions. Please file a bug if your system does not work correctly with Qt5.

New features:

  • Predictable memory usage and configurable cache size limit
    • Previously, dspdfviewer allowed to cache 100 images. It did not matter whether these where thumbnails or full pages, resulting in unpredictable memory usage.
    • Now you can specify memory limit for the cache in MiB, using the command-line parameter --cache-size. The default value 1024 is normally fine, setting is below 250 will result in severe performance crippling.
    • This only affects the cache memory. The total memory usage of dspdfviewer can be up to 300M higher, mainly depending on whether the shared libraries (poppler/qt) are also used by other programs, or are specifically loaded for dspdfviewer.

Other:

  • A lot of work has gone into the Windows port, and compiling on Windows with MSVC is now part of the automated testing.
  • The testsuite is currently disabled on big-endian machines. It keeps failing with what appears to be an endian issue. If you want to help out, you can force the testsuite to run by passing -DRunTestsOnBigEndian=ON at cmake time.

v1.14 - 2015-12-01

New features:

  • Translation support
    • For now, a german translation is included, thanks to projekter.
  • Experimental i3 support
    • If you specify the --i3-workaround=true option, dspdfviewer will try to use i3-cmd to move the audience window one screen to the right.
    • This code is not well tested, please leave feedback and suggestions.
  • Add support for Qt5
  • Add support for Windows, thanks to projekter.

v1.13.1 - 2015-08-06

This is a bugfix and maintenance release for v1.13.

Bugfixes:

  • Regression: Changing slide while blanked crashed the program

Other:

  • A dspdfviewer.desktop file has been added, helping desktop enviroments to include the program in their menus
  • dspdfviewer --help informs about the manpage and the F1 help box
  • This changelog has been started, listing changes since v1.8.

v1.13 - 2015-07-30

New features:

  • dspdfviewer will open a file chooser dialog when started without a command-line file parameter (instead of aborting with error message)
  • Hyperlinks between pages are now clickable
  • The height of the bottom pane (thumbnails and clocks) on the second screen can now be configured

v1.12 - 2015-07-23

New features:

  • Added support for the Logitech R400 presenter remote control.
  • Secondary screen can be toggled between notes and main presentation.
  • F1 or ? key show a quick help box.
  • A configuration file at ~/.config/dspdfviewer.ini can now be used in addition to command-line parameters.

v1.11 - 2014-07-12

New features:

  • The window for the presenter now spawns on the primary screen (see man xrandr on how to define this) which is assumed to be the notebook you carry to the presenation site.
  • The windows now have different window titles and window roles. This enables scripting, especially useful on tiling window managers.
  • dspdfviewer will now watch the file on disk and re-read when it changes. This is useful if you're using dspdfviewer as a previewer while writing a presentation.

v1.10.1 - 2013-10-22

This is a bugfix and maintenance release for 1.10.

Bugfixes:

  • Regression: Primary and secondary window could not be swapped on Kubuntu 13.10.

Improvement:

  • Speed up initial rendering

1.9 - 2013-01-23

New feature:

  • The "go to" command (G) now displays the range of valid page numbers

1.8 - 2012-12-11
