Hello everyone,

We have already accumulated several new features, so that is seems
sensible to prepare for the release of version 0.3.7. Hence I plan
this for the 23rd instead of the 30th of December. Hence trunk will
probably be in freeze mode beginning with the 9th of December.

It would therefore be very much appreciated if you could test the new
features like named instances, configurable background and paper color
and so on. (Of course, testing is always welcome.)

The largest change is probably the addition of persistent per-file
settings. This stores the settings of the 1000 last used documents in
an SQLite database. (Is 1000 enough? Too much?) This is usually
located at "~/.local/share/data/qpdfview/qpdfview/database". (Use of
an SQL database can be disabled using the "without_sql" build-time
option, but of course, this disables persistent per-file settings as
well.)

In this context, something that desperately needs testing is the
program loading tabs and bookmarks from the old XML files upon
creation of the database. (Since trunk revision 765.)

Of course, any other comments and testing for this release is also
greatly appreciated. Thanks!

As a side remark: This version will probably be shipped with Ubuntu
13.04 via Debian's unstable repository. Hence it will probably see
quite a large user base (compared to other versions of this program
;-)), so that a lot of testing in relation to the large changes seems
sensible.

Best regards, Adam.
