Hello,

I just released a tarball from the future branch available at  
lp:~adamreichold/qpdfview/future as version 0.2.2alpha1. I am still  
waiting for those translations before releasing version 0.2.1 but  
nevertheless you can begin testing the new features scheduled for version  
0.2.2. This includes a recently used menu, a transient bookmark mechanism  
reachable through the context menu of the document view or by keyboard,  
the option to refresh documents automatically when changed on disk and a  
presentation view. (You can also open links inside a document in a new tab  
by middle clicking.) (Does anyone ever encountered PDF with links to  
external PDF? I.e. not as an URL? I am still not sure whether it is  
sensible to worry about that feature.)

After talking with the developer of PdfViewer, I changed the deployment  
considerably. So the translations and fallback icons aren't packed into  
the binary anymore, but rather installed to "/usr/share/qpdfview". This  
also means that the program won't find those files without installation,  
e.g. if run directly from the source directory. (You can reactivate the Qt  
resource system from the project file qpdfview.pro if you want this back.)

I also added the stubs for a simple help file. If anyone feels like  
helping to write this, I would be very happy.

Hopefully the future branch doesn't contain a horrendously large number of  
bugs. Happy testing.

Regards, Adam.
