oKular got three new features:
- Overview mode
- Another viewing mode - you can specify how many rows and columns the Page View can have. Plus you can have a continous and a non-continous one. Useful for looking through the whole pdf in a hasty manner or just checking whether all pages of a print are ok.
- Editor-like text selection
- Ever bothered the select tool was just too big for what you wanted to select? Editor-like text selection is the thing for you. It feels like kate ;) Plus in the future i'm going to add selection of images too and later Richtext copying to clipboard :) Yay oKular!
- Hardware blending!
- Yes, since KDE4 is for now a bit far away, oKular uses XRender directly to create the alpha-blended selection rectangles. Now selection is faster then ever. Thanks go to fredrikh for giving me an idea on how to implement it. oKular could damn use Qt4, but I will blog about it later today.
- Postscript support is back
- Well not a new feature as it already existed, but now with libqgs separated and cleaned up (and released), it is faster then ever! Sometimes even faster then pdfs.
Here is a sample of what all the features together look like.

hey, are the features supposed to work yet? they don't seem to do much... editor-like text selection doesn't show, afaik. overvieuw mode does nothing, and the review (F6) what should it do??!?
those features are not yet commited, also note that oKular is aiming for KDE4 so there is no guarantee there ever be a working kde3 version, it works on my local not commited version tho.
