The One with the Thoughts of Frans

Documentation, internationalization, cutesy crash, autoturn, and more.
Apparently this is not completely unusual.
Enhanced EPUB rendering can now be enabled on demand (#5117). In the relevant jargon this means correct margin collapsing, honoring negative margins and more properly floating images. In regular people speech, it just means paragraph margins and images will sometimes look slightly better.
It's been a while since I've seen such an attractive, clear interactive map application.
The Android version now supports asking for permissions.
Basically RTFM, but the manual gets a bit too carried away with possibilities sometimes.
This release adds support for various Android Freescale devices, such as Nook, Onyx and Tolino.
Twenty characters? Get out of here.
The standard QWERTY keyboard now supports swiping and holding for diacritics. The basic grid of 9 surrounding keys is equivalent to swipe direction.
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/
March mainly brought various under the hood improvements like faster blitting and better line-height handling, but also a more visible dual pages display toggle. On supported platforms, most two-finger swipes are now also configurable in the gesture manager.
A fun typo, especially if you dive a little deeper.
Of course I'm biased, but these multiswipes have completely changed how I use KOReader.
Like the create a box dialog in Boxes, which I thought might be useful to quickly try a LiveCD.
Geany has a nice story about named matching groups in the manual, but those don't seem to work in the actual find & replace dialog.
In contrast to Dropbox, Discord doesn't try to hide logging in.
Basic support for E Ink refreshes on a limited number of Android E Ink devices.
I don't understand why so many places make signing in so hard.
At least they were nice enough to abide by my rules. :)
A 16 character maximum? How am I supposed to work with that? Grmbl.
