New:

- Blank slides
- Define margins, word spacing and letter spacing in slide style

Over one year without news now. So it's finally time to give some information. I've created a branch for version 0.4 of QProjector yesterday. It is planned to release version 0.4.0 next tuesday. If you want to give it a trial right now checkout the branch from the svn repository (svn co https://qprojector.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qprojector/qprojector/branches/0.4\) and compile it (see INSTALL).... read more

- Alternative title for Songs

- Allow mass import of songs (Bug #1904711)
- Export more than one song at a time by selecting a folder and using the title as file name
- Show text of truncated items as tool tip (e.g. in song list)

I've worked around all restrictions and limitations of Sourceforge's web service so there's now a QProjector homepage on http://qprojector.sourceforge.net. It uses the wiki engine Wiclear. Feel free to add/edit content.

QProjector 0.2.0 has just been released. Changes worth mentioning:
New:
- Scripture plugins based on Sword (http://www.crosswire.org/sword)
- Import/Export function for lyrics (OpenSong format is supported (without style) for import - select "All files" in import dialog)
- PDF plugin based on poppler (http://poppler.freedesktop.org) (not in Windows package, yet, because I didn't get poppler working on Windows)
Fixed:
- Possible hang up when removing slides in a set
- Main window doesn't appear on some Windows systems
- Works on X11 with seperated screens (i.e. without Xinerama)... read more

Today I've released QProjector 0.1.1. The SQL syntax for the database initialisazation is (among others) now fixed so it's possible to try this app. Blame on me that I haven't checked this part after the last little change ;).
I'm going to use Subversion soon. So it'll be possible for others to contribute.
Note for Windows users:
Text slides (songs and custom texts) render slow (depending on the length of the text) on Windows. Every slide is rendered before presentation, but you've to wait a little bit... I've found no good solution, yet.
Just look at drawText() in Painter.cpp. Maybe you have an idea...
