	Plucker 1.6.1 is out with lots of issues
</title>

<body><![CDATA[	

        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.

        Development stuff:

          * 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).

          * Plucker 1.6.1 Hires viewers (296,845 bytes. viewer, zlib,
            PluckerUserGuide.pdb only)

          * Plucker 1.6.1 Non-hires viewers (624,340 bytes. All non-hires
            viewers, 14 languages)

          * Plucker 1.6.1 (920,527 bytes. High-resolution viewers, 14
            languages)

          * Plucker 1.6.1 rpm (2,388,432 bytes. viewer and Python
            distiller)

          * Plucker 1.6.1 source (2,931,350 bytes. Includes Palm and GTK+
            viewer, Plucker Desktop, and distiller sources, as well as
            docs)

          * Plucker 1.6.1 Python distiller (106,276 bytes. Python distiller
            component only)

          * Plucker 1.6.1 Documentation (311,731 bytes. Documentation for
            Plucker 1.6)
