Serenity Systems International and netlabs.org today released the third 
beta version (beta 2, after beta 1 and beta 1.1) 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.

Changelog since beta 1.1:
  - Avoided using of fontconfig library, created replacement, testing 
needed (closed tickets #30, #32, #35).
  - New application icon and toolbar bitmaps.
  - Implemented rotation.
  - Centers pages if smaller than window, draw gray border (closed ticket #33).
  - WPI creation scripts and dirs (closed ticket #9).
  - Fullscreen implemented (closed ticket #6). Hotkey is Ctrl+L, like in 
Acrobat. Mozilla-like fullscreen (F11) renamed to 'Maximized view'.
  - Added document navigation shortcuts (up/down,pgup/pgdown, 
ctrl-pgup/pgdown,home/end), (closed ticket #7).
  - Plugin interface changes as per Heiko Nitzsche suggestions, 
compatibility changes (closed tickets #18, #40).
  - Fixed Alt-F4 processing (closed ticket #41).
  - Correctly set initial values for comboboxes in settings dialog.
  - Fixed crash on double clicking an empty area in the navigation pane 
(closed ticket #38).
  - Fixed SYS3180 crash when plugins resides not in current dir (closed 
tickets #20, #29).
