| SW: Lucide beta 4 available to eComStation customers |
2006-10-16
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Joachim Benjamins
Serenity Systems International and netlabs.org today released beta 4 of
Lucide, a document viewer for eComStation designed as a replacement for
Acrobat Reader.
One goal of Lucide is to have a fast document viewer which is well
integrated in the eComStation WPS and supports features like drag and drop
and printing and which makes as easy as possible to work with PDF and other
files on eComStation.
Changes since the previous beta release:
- Added 'Zoom In/Out' button to zoom in/out with mouse click/ctrl+click.
- Replace ligatures when converting text from unicode to system
codepage (closed ticket #45).
- Poppler (pdf rendering) library updated to version 0.5.4.
- Lucide's internationalization now respects 'territory' modifier.
- Fixed crash on PDF load during fonts enumeration on font files which
FreeType doesn't understand (closed ticket #83).
- Prevent Lucide from close on broken JPEGs (closed ticket #80).
- In single-page view pressing PgUp/PgDn if already at top/bottom of page
moves to previous/next page (closed ticket #73).
- Enable printing in reverse order (closed ticket #88).
- Lucide.exe loads needed DLLs from install path (closed ticket #78).
- WarpIn installation optionally sets Lucide as default program for
PDF files (closed tickets #74, #79).
- Internal fixes.
- Added NLS-files: Spanish, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Danish.
- Updated NLS-files: Dutch, German, Swedish.
All registered eComStation customers can download Lucide Beta 4 (as zip or
WarpIn file) from the the eComStation Betazone, after login at:
http://www.ecomstation.com/
If you find any bugs please report them to the Netlabs tracking system:
http://svn.netlabs.org/lucide/
If you want to provide some more plugins for Lucide you will find the
sample source code on this page as well. The package also contains all
GPLed parts of the source code.
Heiko Nitsche published 3rd party plugins for Lucide, based on GBM. They
are available from his homepage at: http://heikon.home.tlink.de/
Support for Lucide is available on the Lucide mailinglist, you will find
details at:
http://svn.netlabs.org/lucide/
Best regards,
Serenity Systems International

*A number of fixes
- Fixed bug in snap selection dialog that prevented horizontal custom

text quotes.
- Fixed several bugs in intelligent text quotes - all handlers.
- Fixed unwanted line breaks in numbers.
- Fixed bug in recursive text formatting.
- Fixed bug causing random crashes - UniLeagueTable not always initialised.
- Fixed bug: Page numbers not working in tables.
- Fixed bug: Bulleted lists get changed when you change paragraphs.
- Fixed text bug: Hyphenation gets mixed up when a normal dash lands on

- Fixed bug: Often crashes when copying/pasting frame sets.
- Fixed bug: Cannot copy and paste some pages.
To install or upgrade Maul:-
=======================
Download maulebin308.zip, and either maulelen308.zip or maulelde308.zip
or both, depending on the language(s) you want.
Try
http://www.manglais.com/download.php
or later
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=maule
Unzip all the files in the .\maul\install directory where maul was
installed and run the installer. You need to install the binary executive
and library files, as well as the appropriate language packs. It is safe to
install later versions of Maul V3.xx over earlier ones.
Registered users are requested to re-register using their current key. You
do not need to upgrade your V3.xx key, this is just a small fix to the
registration mechanism.
Please take the trouble to report any bugs that you may find!

| VOICE: Norman Virus Control Survey |
2006-10-22
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Gordon Snider
The Virtual OS/2 International Consumer Education group (VOICE) is
conducting a survey to see how many people would be interested in
purchasing a licence for the Norman Virus Control (NVC) for OS/2 product.
If we get a sufficiently large group, to purchase more than 50 licences,
the cost will be in the neighborhood of $25.00 per licence for a 2 year
licence.
You MUST be a VOICE member to get this deal. However, you can get 2 years
of VOICE membership and a 2-year NVC licence for $75 which is less than a
single 2-year retail licence for NVC alone ($89.00). And your VOICE
membership helps VOICE with ongoing projects like sponsoring the renewed
development of PMMail.
If you are interested in this offer you can join VOICE through BMT Micro or
MENSYS.
http://www.os2voice.org/membership.html
Then you can let me know of your interest at
treasurerDESPAM@DESPAMos2voice.org
Please let me know by the 28th of October.
