We would like to meet pointless users at the upcoming Linux conference (http://www.linuxforum.dk) in Copenhagen, Denmark on 6th march 2004. If you plan to attend and would like to talk about pointless development, please send mail to our list (pointless-devel(a)lists(d)sourceforge(d)net) or to one of the project maintainers.
This release contains a large number of fixes (including fixes for a few crashbugs and for serious problems with fullscreen support). A number of new features has been added as well: tables, scaling of pll-embedded content (like LaTeX or Metapost), pll-to-tgz packing etc. It should also be mentioned that pointless no longer uses python embedded but has become a plain python extension. Finally pointless now uses far less memory and cpu cycles.
