View this article as: [ xml / txt ]

Not even a month later, we have another Plucker version!

Plucker 1.6.1 follows closely on the tails of Plucker 1.6, and closes a lot of open issues reported by users and other developers working with Plucker and Plucker projects.

Most of the changes in 1.6.1 are internal, and no major "features" were added. This is a cleanup and bugfix release. Below is a list of the fixes applied to this version.

Any bugs you find, please report them in our bug tracker. Make sure to search existing bug reports for similar errors before posting a new bug report. Many times, bugs are reported in duplicate by several users because they didn't search the existing bugs reported for similar problems.

• External links and UInt16 uids fix
• History recording and seamless fragments bug fix
• Fullscreenform now compatible with OS < 3.5
• Chinese/Japanese/Korean multibyte fix
• Bugfix - would not compile without Handspring or five_way SDK.
• Bug #882: Multibyte char line wrap fix
• Bug #878: Library display doesn't always include all columns
• Bug #885: Fix to last part of bug (short last frag)
• Bug #882: multibyte char line break fix
• Bug #906: Rotate controls don't always work
• Bug #908: fix: scroll past end of file on Visor Edge with buggy clipping

Please remember, this is a bugfix and cleanup point release. This release does not include Plucker Desktop or any other GUI-based Plucker tools, other than the standard viewer, distiller, and documentation. If you require other components to test this build, please get them from CVS directly, or download them from the project sites themselves:

• Plucker Desktop (Windows, Linux, and OSX Desktop GUI for Plucker)
• JPluck Java-based Desktop (Now includes Plucker 1.6 and runs anywhere Java 1.4 runs)

These files below are provided in BitTorrent format for your convenience. BitTorrent is a file distribution protcol that gains its advantages when more people are downloading at the same time. If you use BitTorrent to download these files, please remember leave your BitTorrent client running. Peer-to-peer only works when there are peers on the network! Keeping your client open makes it easier for everyone else to get the files at a faster speed than if you did not keep your client open. Please help spread the bandwidth around, don't just download and close your client and leave!

If you want to help distribute Plucker to others, please download the Zip-o-Torrents file, unpack it, and run your multi-torrent client on all of the files inside of it (or at least the 1.6.1 downloads and latest Plucker Desktop versions).
